Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-10-03

A 14-year-old South Carolina boy
recently killed his aunt and seriously
wounded her three small children
with an axe. He reported that a ne
gro had committed the crime, which
resulted in a search by hundreds of
armed men for the negro, who was
revealed as a myth when the boy
confessed that he himself had made
the attack. g. 81
Lies such as the one told by the
boy have been responsible for no one
knows how many lynchings Of negroes
in the South, on charges ranging
from "sassing" a white man to rape
and murder. Judging from what has
happened in the past, if a suspicious
looking negro had been found in the
vicinity, before the boy made his con-
fession, the negro would have been
lynched without ceremony. The
Southerner, for all his boosted civ

a Pigment of the imagination.
The wage Garner who has to dig
down into his pocket to meet increas-
ing food bills, knows better. No
amount of "windjamming" can con-
vince him that food prices are not
higher than they should be. He re-
allies that something is wrong and
he feels that the La Toilette pro-
gram can help to right the wrong.
So his enthusiasm for the progressive
movement grows with a strength and
swiftness that amazes and alarms the
old party politicians.
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-10-03

Old Doc Spargo, coming down out
of the hills Of Vermont for his peri
odical outgiving, thinks that after all
perhaps he'd better elect Coolidge.
Doc Spargo thinks La Toilette is
nothing less than "antiquated" and
while Davis tempts him a great deal,
still nobobdy can tell just what Davis
would do about certain things.
So the sage Of Old Bennington set

COTTON REACHES

Up To $3.50 On The

NEW YORK, March 31.--strength of
May contracts featured the cotton
market today, selling up to 2S50c or
81 points above the closing quotation
of Saturday on covering by trade and
speculative shorts. The advance in the
near months pulled up the later de-
liveries. Last prices were within a
few points OF the best with the gen
eral market closing steady at a net
advance of 40 TO 81 points.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of to % points on all months
except June, which was 40 points high
er, in response to relatively firm Liv-
erpool cables and reports OF a better
business In cotton goods at Manches-
ter. After showing net advances OF
Is to 80 points prices eased Of; under
realizing promoted by a better wealth
er map and continued complaints of a
poor demand for cotton goods in the
domestic markets. May reacted from
27.90c to 27.6sc and later months lost
the early gains.

newed covering, bullish spot advices

GRAIN MARKET
PRICES ADVANCE
Decrease OF The Visible
Supply Aids In
Upturn +.

CHICAGO, March ~31.-All grain
scored material advance in price to-
day after some uncertainty due to re-
cent charges that the corn market
had been subjected to manipulation.
Decrease of the visible supply both of
corn and oats, and of wheat as well,
aided in the upturn. Wheat closed
strong &c to NC net higher, May
s1.02A to $1.02% and July $102% TO
1.03A with corn &c to 1he up, ana
oats showing v to nc rise. In provi-
sions the outcome ranged from &c de-
cline to an equal gain.
from the start, but for q while failed
to overcome the handicap resulting
from nervousness in oprn. However,
belief gradually spread that price de-
clines had about run their course and
this belief received emphasis from re-
ports that Italy had bought 5000, 900
bushels of Canadian wheat In the last
ten days. Then came announcement
Of LOTS 900 bushels falling Off in the
United States visible supply total and
with offerings light the wheat market
readily ascended as the day closed.
Rallies in corn were based largely
on improved shipping demand from
the east in addition to 902, 900 bushels
shrinkage Of the visible supply. Be-
sides, the movement Of all grain was
expected to be small hereafter for sew
erai weeks notably during the big
rush of field work on farms.
The oats market was chiefly affected
by reports OF further delay to seeding.
Indiana seeding was said to be two
weeks behind.
Provisions, although dull, were up
held by firmness of hog values.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS, March 81-The cot
ton market, after a rather tame open
Ing, followed by rally which carried
active trading positions % to 81 points
above Saturdays closing levels, expert
enced reaction of 25 to 81 points, May
dropping to 1890, July to 26.60c and
October to 23.43c. The market rallied
sharply during the afternoon, mainly
on shorts covering, May trading up to
28.45c, July to 27.36c and October to
23.90c, or At to 50 points up from the
low Of the morning, with May showing
the greatest strength. The close was
but little below the high, showing net
gains for the day of Ga points ON old
crop positions and Al to 46 points on
new crop months.
The start was rather disappointing
considering the favorable cables, re-
ports that the London strikes had been
settled and more favorable dry goods
reports from Worth street, but traders
on the constructive side seemed to gain
courage soon after the opening, and
prices were advanced we'll above the
closing levels Of Saturday. Later in
the morning, despite very. unfavorable
weather adVices, with snow in Texas
and in other portions of the northern
half of the cotton region, the market
became dull and prices eased off, los
Ing most of the early gain and in the
case of May establishing a net loss of
about 10 points.
The market started to improve near
noon on evidences of shorts covering,
and during the afternoon there was a
sharp rally on reports of active cover
ing by Wall Street and the Palm Beach
crowd, as well as by local ring shorts.
Memphis, Tenn, reported snow and the
official forecast predicted freezing
weather practically to the coast line
for all parts of the belt. There were
also reports of a hardening spot basis
with good demand for cotton at in
terror markets.
AS was but natural the near months,
particularly May, advanced the most
on the bulge, as there is believed to
be very considerable short interest in
those positions, and the big spot houses
known to control the certificated stock
seem bent on insisting on deliveries of
the actual. With much OF the certifi-
Gated stock here and in New York to
be shipped out during April, the posi-
ton of shorts in near months was re-
.Barded as seriously menaced.
