Steel Interests See Big Business Ahead

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-With large orders pending from the railroads Tor rails. locomotives and other equip ment, as well as prospective re- uirements from other quarters, in- cluding Japan, steel intrests believe there Is good reason to anticipate in- creased activity and sustained values. Buyers. however, continued to hest- tate during the week and evidently hoped for a further downward re- vision in prices. Pig iron prices con- tinued weak and was destitute of large orders, notwithstanding the low prices.
 Copper was easier. Business fell off toward the close of the week, the in- difference of buyers being attributed largely to a continued poor demand for finished products, while the European markets reflected unsettled in exchange rates. Prices descended to the lowest levels of the year under comparatively small offerings.
 Tin reflected buying by prominent interests and delayed arrivals, the latter bullishly affecting the spot situation, as stocks are light.
 Lead was lowered 10 points to 6.75 by the leading interests. Only a small amount of business was re- ported, although supplies in buyers hands remained generally light.
 Although consuming demand for zinc was light. the market followed the strength in London and was in- fIuenced by a fair demand from dealers.
 Anthony helped by bullish news from China, ruled strong and much higher, although consumers here have not yet responded with orders.

COOLIDGE LAU ] $ ROOSEvELT'S LIFE
President Pays Tribute In Letter Read At Dedication
 Of Roosevelt House

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-President Calvin Coolidge's tribute to Theodore Roosevelt, in the form of letter, was read today at the dedication of Roose- welt House, No. 2S East Twentieth street by Mrs. John Henry Hammond president of the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial association. President Cool idge's letter was as follows:
 Tt is a source of deep regret that 1t Is impossible for me to take part in person in the dedication of Roose- welt House. On a previous~occasion Indicated my deep interest in the project now happily completed. The Woman's Roosevelt Memorial asso- citation, in recreating the house where Theodore Roosevelt was born. and making it a center for the promul gation of his Ideas, has made not only the friends of this great American but all Americans, it's debtors. The great collections of their brother so- ciety, the Roosevelt Memorial associ- ation, will bring before the eyes and minds of the generations to come the aspirations. the achievements, the exuberant and captivating personality of the great interpreter and apostle of the American spirit. To do that is to render great service. If might speak for the American people IL would De to cypress tnelr thanks "Sh}nes Like Star To People,"
 Tt was no mere poetic fancy which impelled the ancient Greeks to people the Armament with their mythical heroes. A great national hero, a Washington, a Lincoln, a Roosevelt does shine like a star to the people who come after him. In them they find light, and by them they can steer their course over uncharted ant stormy seas.
 Fourteen years ago. standing also at a birthplace which has become 8 national shrine, Theodore Roosevelt said of Washington and Lincoln There have been other men as great and other men as good; but In all the history of mankind, there are no other two great men as good as these, nc other two good men as great Among the great who were also good; among the good who were also great, we may now inscribe third name, for ever memorable.

Dry Goods Quiet In
 Face Of Cotton Rise

NEW YORK, Got. 27.--In primary markets cotton goods trading has been light throughout the week. The rise in cotton failed to stimulate the placing of aditional business to any marked extent. Most of the gray goods buying was for spot and this years delivery. Sheetings were bought in carload lots principally for the bag and manufacturing trades Jobbers bought sparingly and then largely for filling In pur- poses Percales showed little quickening in Jobbing channels but first hand trading was of small volume. Ginghams are very quiet and further curtailment in leading mills was reported. Bleached cot tons were quiet. Wide sheetings, blankets and mapped goods have sold better and are under order more generally than other lines. The prin- cipal business done in wash goods IS on lines of a fancy character for de- livery for the initial spring business. Trade on staples for spring con- tinues small and In many cases Is just large enough to secure selling samples for the buyer. Merchants and manufacturers still find 1t very difficult to secure bids for cloths that are based on cotton at current prices, hence there has been considerable le suggestions of future business de- clines. Yarn markets have been quiet, the buying being of hand to mouth character. Knit goods are in between seasons priced with small filling in orders. Jobbers and re- tailers are selling steady at prices below the parity of first hand mar kets and are disposed to liquidate theik present holdings before making further commitments. Prices cur rent in first hands are as follows:
 Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64c, Sc; 64x60s, 7%c; 3S1a inch, 64x64s, 10Ac; brown sheetings, southern standards, 1615c; ticking, eight-ounce, 27c; den ms, 2.20s, 23 and 241c; cstaple ginghams, 19c; prints, 9Ac, nominal; dress oin oh a ms G1 1h and 24c

Cotton Hifs Highest
 Point In Three Years

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Establish- ment of the highest cotton quotations in three years and reactionary movement in the stock market which carried the industrial average into low ground for the year were the principal developments in this weeks securities and commodities market. Wheat prices also advanced l to h cents a bushel on reported improve ment in export business and specu- lative expectations of government aid.
 Resumption of negotiations look ing towards a statement of the reparations brought brisk recov- cry in foreign exchange rates and moderate improvement in foreign bond prices, but it failed to influence the stock market However, the reparations cables were closely watched by Wall Street because of the important bearing that settle ment of that troublesome question would nave on our own economic situation.

glory of his statesmanship may be obscured by the passage of the cen turies, but the memory of the man himself will endure; for great as his achievements were, the man was even greater than the work.

 "We Americans have deep cause to be grateful that 65 years ago today, Theodore Roosevelt, half of the north, half of the south, son of the east, an adopted son of the west. came to this nation to shape its destinies in a critical hour.

It was Roosevelt who taught us that unjustified discontent finds no Judgment in a nation where the discontent which is justified se- cures a prompt remedy.
