NEW ORLEANS, July 14.-After an early advancc' In the face of small con- sumption figures the market was up- set around the middle of the session by large offerings of July, and reacted sharply. While the offerings of July appeared to be heavy, only few hun dred bales were sold. Prices for that month, however, declined 200 points from the early high before they were absorbed. Nearly half of this was re- covered in the later trading. Outside of the July offerings and the consump- tion report, there was no other news marketwise. The weather continued gem orally clear and hot for the western belt and cloudy with scattered showers over the eastern belt.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn 6 Virgin.

NEW ORLEANS, July 14.-Cotton was fairly active in the early trading Monday, within a range of about S5 points. The early weather reports were to the effect that rains over the week. end in the east had afforded no relief from the too wet weather in this sec tion which had prevailed in the last part of last. week; also there was no rain in the west to relieve the hot and dry conditions complained of mildly in that section. The early private re- ports were confirmed by the map. The forecasts are for continued showery weather in the east.
 The June census consumption figures at $50, ,217 bales against 413,000 bales last month and 542,000 in June, 1923, were smaller than expected. The mill stocks were given as 950,625 bales, against l. 347, ,000 last year. This report was con sidered bearish despite the smallness of mill stocks.
 Liverpool was about Is to IS penny points worse than due. Spot sales were 5000 bales, of which 4,S00 were Ameri- can. We continue to advise sales on bulges.-Levy & Aronson to S. R. Stewart.

NEW, YORK, July 14.-Cotton: Err ratio fluctuations today were due to the action of July in both markets and to professional operations. Covering in July was reflected in new crops and made the best prices of the day, but this was followed by a 50-point reac- tion, due to a sharp break in July in New Orleans and fresh selling on crop telegrams from the south, which aver aged pretty good. The late trading was rather featureless. Weather outlook rather favors the bull, as forecast was for showers east and dry in Texas, al though the latter condition is not yet serious. The bearish consumption was offset by the half million decrease ir mill and warehouse stocks. The market is likely to continue nervous until July is off the board-John F. Clark & Go

MINERS
WORK LONG HOURS

In coal mines in japan, in many
cases, work is carried on both night
and day. Some of the workers are
employed only during the daytime,
while others are employed alternate
ly on day and night shifts, according
to a report published by the Interna-
tional Labor Office.
An investigation made in respect
of mines employing more than 100
persons each, showed that for work.
ers employed on day work only, the
standard daily hours are 9 to 10,
overtime rates being paid for work
done in excess of these hours. The
result of an investigation, made into
the hours of work in important coal
mines, average hours of work stand
ing at 10, showed that AZ per cent
of the workers worked less than 10
hours, % per cent worked 10 hours,
and SO per cent worked more than
10 hours.
The long hours of work and the in
suficiency and badness of the air UNI
derground, have a bad effect on the
rate of attendance of miners. Among
hewers the attendance is generally
less than 60 per cent, and, as four
days rest are granted miners each
month, the actual number of days at
tendance at the mine is about Is or
16 per month. Therefore, although
the number of hours of work of min
ers is long the hours of work week
on an average are fewer than AZ.
A striking feature of the investiga-
ton was the fact that 81 per cent of
the underground workers and 29
per cent of the surface workers are
women.

AEROPLANE CRASH
FURNISHES THRILLS

Among the numerous thrills pic
tured in the AL Christie feature,
Hold Your Breath" playing at the
Weir theater, is a realistic scene of
an airplane crashing in a crowded
New York street. For this scene a
real Thomas-Morse scout plane, one
of the speediest types used in the
aviation camps during the war, fell
to the street in a nose dive while
hundreds of terror stricken spectators
rushed for safety.
Interspersed with many salient
thrills are bursts of humor that issue
forth with the same gusto and effec-
tiveness as the spectacular crash of
the airplane. The story Hold Your
Breath" was written by Frank Roland
Conklin, author of numerous success
full Christie plots, and in this newest
Christie feature he has proven that
he is a master at developing hilarious
situations.
A wonderful comedy cast interprets
the breezy tale. Dorothy Devore,
Walter HERS, Tully Marshall, Jimmie
Adams, Priscilla Bonner, Jimmie Har-
rison and Lincoln PIumer have prom
inent roles.

NATIONS HIGH COURT
DECLARED DESPOTIC

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL
In one of the bitterest criticisms ever
made on the supreme court. of the
United States Justice John Ford Of
the New York supreme court informs
Senator La Toilette that he will
support the La Toilette Wheeler
ticket. The federal high court is de-
clared IAN absolute despotism" which
makes democracy ian idle dream"
Denouncing the "reactionary plat
form and Tory candidates of the re-
publicans," Justice Ford declares that
"the democratic convention adopted
dishonest, cowardly and platitudi-
nous platform and selected a tried
and true servant of plutocracy as it's
candidate for president"
"For the citizen who loves our de-
mOcraey and believes with Lincoln
in a government of, by and for the
people, and holds with Jefferson that
the true object of government should
be the greatest good for the greatest
number" said Justice Ford, "there
lis no practical way in which he can
express his convictions by his ballot
in this election except by voting
your ticket.
81 shall so vote and work for the
election of yourself and Senator
Wheeler.
"Your stand for divesting the
federal judiciary of it's irresponsible
power especially recommends your
candidacy to me.
"The supreme court of the United
States is an absolute despotism. 1t
is beyond the control of congress, of
the constitution, of the people and
of any authority which is directly or
indirectly responsible to the people.
$50 long as that appointive life
time oligarchy remains the supreme
power of the nation, our boosted de-
mocracy is a sham and the kind of
government Lincoln lived and died to
perpetuate becomes an idle dream.

Hut. "0ctavia Garfield, played by
Leatrice Joy, and her baby are put
in ifeboat and lowered away from
the side Of the yacht, which is being
pounded BY the heavy sea and listing
badly. AS members OF the crew are
lowering the boat a huge wave
breaks over the deck of the yacht,
washing everything in its path and
forcing the men to relinquish their
hold on the ropes. Bow first, the
lifeboat drops into the ocean, rights
itself and, with Miss Joy and the
baby huddled IN the bottom of it, is
swirled away BY the mountainous
waves. Bob Canfeld," enacted by
Adolphe Menjou in the picture, is
forced to make a thrilling leap into
the sea and is struck by a falling
spar as he plunges into the ocean.
Another thrilling bit of action falls
to Percy Marmont, in the role of
"Paul Mayne," lone missionary on
the island of Hit Hut, whose amaz-
ing romance with "Octavia Cam
field" is terminated by the appear
ance of her husband. Seeing the
distress signals of the yacht, he
has only one thought-the safety of
Octavia and the baby. Showing a
fiimsy outrigger canoe into the roar
ing surf, he jumps in and, single
handed and with almost superhuman
strength, forces it through the huge
breakers and out to the wreck.
There are many other striking
glimpses of the sea in "The Marriage
Cheat and It's influence is felt
throughout the picture.

Characterization, this newest Thomas

JACK PICKFORD CAST
CAREFULLY CHOSEN
Young Star Has Exceptional Sup.
port in ''The Hill Billy" New
Film Play.

Never has there been a cast more
characteristic of the types involved
in the story than the one engaged
by Jack Pickford for his new pic
ture, "The Hill Billy" an Allied
Producers and Distributors Corpora
ton release coming next Sunday to
the Weir theater.
Jack carefully chose the players.
Each member of the cast was given
tests before the final decision was
rendered by Jack and his director,
George Hill.
1t was Jacks aim to have the
players life-like and genuine on
the screen. He wanted to get away
from the usual types that smack of
too much makeup in order to re-
semble the parts.
Lucille Ricksen, Hollywood's fam
ed little leading lady, is portraying
the role of the wistful little country
sweetheart. Frank Leigh, well known
English actor, who secured a tre-
mendous hit in Ethel Barrymore's
"Life's Whirlpool" is enacting the
role of the heavy. Jane Keckley, who
has played more mother parts than
any other actress, is playing the part
of Jacks mother in the picture.
Ralph Yearsley plays the part of a
stupid and repulsive country boy.
