passed away, death being caused
by gastric dilution, following an
operation at hospital there.
She had been in poor health
for the last year, but in the late
fall she grew worse and an oper-
alton was advised by her physi-
clans.
On Jan. 1st she entered the
hospital and underwent an oper-
alton on Jan. 18th. For a time
it was thought she would recover,
but later complications arose and
in spite of all the family, friends,
nurses and doctors could do, she
passed into the Great Beyond.
To know Mrs. Davis was to
love her. Never could there have
been a more unselfish character.
Ever thoughtful of those around
her,-her sickness was typical of
her life. Never was one word of
complaint uttered. Nearly the
last word she spoke was solicitl-
Gus of the welfare of the attend
ants In her death her husband
loses a, loving companion, her
children, a most devoted mother,
and the community, a neighbor
whose place can never be filled,

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3.-While new high levels for the season again were reached by cotton today, the market soon after the opening encountered heavy sell ing from traders on the long side who wanted their profits, and, in addition what many brokers considered was the greatest volume of hedge selling of the season thus far. This checked the upward trend and brought about reactions Of a mild order, the market finally closing net unchanged to 10 points up, with the De- cember positions last sale at 51.S0 cents a pound yesterday was found to have been carried over full blast and, in addition, there was buying stimulated by a strong Liverpool market. Within a short period prices were 40 to 4s points higher than the last prices of yesterday. with all months well up into new high ground and December trading at 32.2s cents. For. a while, es- pecially during the course of the opening call. which was unusually long drawn out, a runaway market threatened, but the heaviest kind of realizing developed and offerings soon became lib-cai enough to a little more than meet the demand. In the second half et the session little remained of the early strength and the market became d regulation weekend af- fair. Toward the end December was off to SITS cents and the lowest levels of the day were reached, with prices points down to 10 points up compared with yes terday's final transactions. On the close the market officially was toned steady at the decline.

VOLUME OF TRADE
 IS LARGE ON CURB

NEW YORK, Nov. 3-Attention in today's bond market was centered largely in the secondary railroad mortgages and some of the foreign government bonds.
 The volume of transactions contin- ued large despite the half holiday session. Net changes. however, were small for the most part.
 New high prices for the year were established by the Belgian Ss and the Republic of Columbia CHS and some of the French issues found better support.
 Sizeable buying orders for the Sea board Air Line adjustment 5s pushed these bonds up nearly points to 40. a new high for the year. The clos ing price was 39%, up more than a point on the day. Other rails which participated in the advance inclu Frisco Louisville and Nashville, St. Paul, Denver and Rio Grande and Chesapeake and Ohio. High grade investment railroad mortgages also displayed marked improvement.
 Trading in industrial and public utility liens was within narrow area. net changes barely shading up or down in a majority of instances the closing prices of yesterday.

FOREIGN BONDS Ion Stock Exchanrel
STOCK KANDCOTTON PRICES MOVE UP

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-A sharp rise in stock prices a sensational advance Ill cotton futures and a drop in ster- ling exchange to the lowest price since November, 1922, were the out standing developments of this week S financial markets.
 The sudden reversal of form shown by the stock market followed the un- expected declaration of an extra divi- dend on the common stock of the United States Steel corporation and the bullish forecast of a prominent Wall street speculator previously identified with the short faction. Re- sumption of didivends by some of the smaller industrial companies and re- ports of record OctC Der car load ings also were contributing factors.
 The advance in the cotton market was based on the government crop forecast, which predicted a total yield of 10,24S 900 bales, or 767,00O bales below the estimate of the pre- vious month";
 Weakness of sterling was generally attributed to the expectation of an early general election in Great Brit ain to be fought over fiscal policies and reports that the limitations inn posed by France upon the proposed mparations conference precluded a satisfactory solution of the problem. Other foreign exchanges yielded in sympathy, German marks selling as low as 50cents tEi Hon.

WEEKLY METAL REPORT

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The steel situ- ation has become complex with the result that the trade is considerably puzzled over the outlook. There appears to be sufficient new business in sight to justify expectations of increased activity, as the railroads are expected to buy heavily and exports to Japan for reconstruction work undoubtedly will be large. Automobile manufacturers are looking for supplies but 1t is admitted that october bookings showed little improvement over September and buyers continue to hesitate about placing new orders. Pig iron with accu- mulating stocks, is weak. despite reduced production.
 Copper became firmer in the past week as a result of an improved domestic de- mand and firmness in London, later at tributed to speculative buying and an in creased demand for European consump- ton.
 Tin ruled steady. with dealers the prin- cipal buyers. American deliveries were 1000 tons larger than the previous month and local stocks showed an increase of 1917 tons.
 Lead was unchanged and in rather poor demand, although the reduction of stocks on previous orders operated to steady the situation.
 In zinc, although consuming demand was light, there was a better tone due to the good business in galvanized sheets for Japan,
 Anthony continued strong at steadily rising prices, influenced by light China shipments resulting from political condi- tions there.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Helped by strength in the cotton market and in stocks and by assumed likelihood that the government at Washington would soon take steps likely to lift grain values, the price of wheat showed an upward trend today. The close was firm, 14 sc net higher, December $1.075s Q1.07A. and May $1.12A co 1.123s. Corn finished B e to ] 4 c up. oats at 1s@Ac to A@$sc gain, and provisions varying from 10c decline to like advance Purchasing for eastern account started wheat up- ward at the opening, and although at times reactions were witnessed, the bulls had clearly an advantage all during the day. Aside from impetus gained through the action of cotton and stocks, the buying of wheat was accelerated as messages were re- ceived that President Coolidge and his advisers were considering com prehensive reports touching the agri- cultural situation and the wheat trade and was also giving further at tention to plans for furnishing wheat or flour to Germany.
 Bears in the wheat market made much of assertions that farmers had already disposed of large part of this years crop, and that any plan which the, government might adopt for the enhancement of values would benefit the growers less than was ini- piled in current talk. Sellers, how ever, were apparently disposed to take risks only after substantial up turns in price. On the other hand, millers' advocacy of 15c increase of the United States import duty on wheat attracted due notice and so likewise did 9,000.000 bushels cut in estimates of the Australian crop.
 Wet weather threatening delay to husking and to the movement of corn lxr T hull 1.s,I. No big accumulation of corn here in the next few weeks is looked for.
 Provisions, like hogs, were with out significant change.

EXCITED BUYING
 SENDS COTTON UP

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-A continua- tion of yesterdays excited buying movement in cotton sent the price or January contracts up to 32.1Sc dur ing today's early trading, or 5S points above yesterdays closing quo tation and all months made new high records for the season. Reactions followed under heavy realizing, with January selling off to 31.S0c and clos ing at 31.S5c. The general market closed steady at a net decline of 5 points on December, but generally 10 to 38 points net higher.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 23 to 55 points on present crop positions and of 10 to 20 points on the next crop. There were many overnight buying orders around the ring and within the first half hour active months sold 5S to 70 points net higher, with December advancing to 31.70c and March to 32.33c. Buy ing on yesterdays small crop figures was stimulated by the strong show ing of Liverpool and reports of con- tinued rain in the south. The latter wire accompanied private advances claiming further damage to the grade of cotton if not to the quantity yield. According to one of the reports re- : ceived from Dallas even if the crop amounts to 10,000,000 bales, its spin ping walt won't be equol to more than 9,500,0O bales Tn an oFdiiaty grade season. Buyers became little more cautious above the 32-c level, however. and as the demand tapered off, the market yielded more reallz- ing sales or southern hedging.
 A message received from New or leans said that there had been good deal of hedging selling there during the morning which some of the local traders took as sugg gesting that southern spot holders were willing to sell freely at the present prices. Further trade buying was reported on the late forenoon reactions or some 30 to 60 points and the market showed a steady undertone at the close, which, however, was within few points of the lowest. Prlvate cables reported that trade interests were buying actively in Liverpool and that Lancashire demand for ac- tt al was increasing.

Wheat Scores Gains In Weeks Dealings

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Chiefly as the result of one big but transient buy ing splurge, wheat prices have scored some net gains this week, notwith- standing that nearly every day wit messed declines. The buying referred to was associated with a widely cir culated bullish opinion regarding general business conditions.
 Compared with a week ago wheat this morning was at shade lower to F O 5sc advance, corn varying from F O 5s setback to A O 2sc gain; oats s to F @ssc down and pro- visions 15 to 35c up.
 In the corn market readjustment of prices from an old crop to new crop basis was underway. Oats were inclined to sag in the absence of any special demand.
 Provisions were higher owing mainly to a reduction of stocks on hand here.
