COTTON AWAITS
 v. s. CROP REPORT
Much Of Weeks Trading Is Of
 Evening Up Nature :

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A compara- lively small volume of bushes and ir- regular price movements in the market for cotton futures here since the Labor Day adjournment have been regarded as reflecting uncertainty over the prob able showing of the government crop report Monday. Private reports, both on the condition and crop indication. have been conflicting enough to restrict fresh business and much of the trading aside from the selling and buying of hedges has been attributed to the even- ing up of old commitments. Decembet contracts, which had sold up from 23.75c on August 25 to 24.97c just be- fore Labor Day. have eased off to nearly the 24c level but showed a tend- ency to steady at that price and if any thing, traders seemed inclined to pre- pare for a government crop report showing a barely maintained prospect, as compared with the Mid-August fig ures. The private condition reports ranging from 5s to GA averaged 61.2 indications, some of which were based upon private acreage figures was 12,- 871,000 bales compared with the gov ernment mid-August report showing condition of 64.9 and a crop indication of 12,956,000 bales. Private reports of
 
 during the week, adding to uncertainty as to the government showing on Mon- day which carries the crop to a later date than many of the private esti- mates. Rallies have been promoted by continued favorable trade advices from Manchester and expectations of an inn provement in the domestic goods trade during the autumn, while buyers also point out the dangers still before the crop in the shape of possible autumnal storms or an early frost date. On the other hand, the movement of new crop cotton Is expected to increase rapidly and there has been selling on advances on an apprehension that trade demand would not develop rapidly enough to prevent declines under the weight of the early receipts. A private estimate places the ginning to September 1 at S57,000 bales compared with 1,141,000 last year. Members of the New York cotton exchange on the average esti- mate the condition of the crop at 60.6.

MILLION SHARES IS DAYS RECORD
 IN STOCK DEALS
Commodities Decline, With No. 1 Wheat At
 Last Years Price
By EDWARD J. CoNDLoN


 NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The stock mar ket hit the million-share pace Friday, but the movement was all on the side of the decline. Industrial stocks fell considerably harder than on Thursday, the group averaging nearly 1A points lower, with the rails down a little more thank a point. All eyes were centered on American Woolen, which fell 2h points at the outset, following the 13-point break of the previous day on the passing of the common dividend, and later stood more than points net lower, recovering a fraction of this loss night consideration of the company's position did not result in satisfactory findings.
 All manner of interpretations are be- ing put upon the break in woolen in the light of the second days decline. political argument for high tariff Is one theory. The company was unwill- ing to risk strike and forced its stock holders to bear the burden, was an- other. The bear contingent was glee- fully hailing the break as the signal fer a sweeping decline in stock prices. :"
 Commodities Lose Ground Even the commodity markets failed tc hold up, grains especially suffered from liquidation by tired longs. No. l spring wheat is now Selllng approXl- mately where it was a year ago, but some 23 cents bushel less than at this time last month. In cotton there was very little decided opinion. Trad CTS are awaiting the bureau report Mon day, which, according to the average guess of "A members of the New York cotton exchange, will show the cotton crop to be 606 per cent of normal. The last government crop report made the condition 67.4 per cent as of August bales without linters.
 Is. and the indicated yield 12,956, 900 Basic Conditions Favorable | The weekly reviews of business point out that while domestic trade showed l smaller improvement than week ago, some lines showed good strides. The reviews sound a note of political uRcer- tainty which was not present last week. But little hesitancy in buying Is as- cribed to the political haze, since basic conditions continue favorable.
 | Dun's review this week records the failures as 251 as against 366 the pre- vious week, though but five business lays enter into this weeks compila- ton. A year ago the failures totaled PAT. Of the weeks failures Al had lia- ,ihties of $5,000 or more in each case. Bradstreets Journal makes the index number of commodity prices during Au- gust show a gain of 1.4 per cent over uly, but a reduction of S-10 of per cent from a year ago.

A Writer Gives a Few Pointers On
 Their Proper Pronunciation.

A Writer Gives a Few Pointers On
 Their Proper Pronunciation. John Drinkwater, having seen the April bulletin of the Hackley public li- brary of Muskegon, Mich., wherein it is stated the correct pronunciation of his name is Drink itter," begs leave of a London newspaper to say he knows bet ter, writes w. Orton Tewson in the New York Evening Post.
 Not a bit of it." he :'etes. "They continually asked me when l was in America, and many people insisted that was the proper way to pronounce my name. The fact is, Americans believe that no English name should be pro- nounced as it is spelled. They'll never get over Cholmondeley."
 So, when we are on the job, we may as well give the right pronunciation of some other English names which we often hear misspron inrLal 1233455 stance, Buchan is Buckan; Strachey is Straychee; Synge (only he's Irish) is Sing; Machen is Maychen; 1nge is a Cockney door hinge, and last, but not least, Oliver Onions is Oliver O'Nigh- 0ss.
 Small wonder Americans can't get over Marjoribanls, eh?
 William Le Queux settled the ques- tion, once and for all, as to the correct pronunciation of his name by perpetrat- ing the following:
 It troubles each sex.
 So put it to you.
 Is it William Le Queux,
 Or William Le QueuxT
 give you the cut,
 So no longer perplex,
 Is it William Le Queux,
 Not William Le Queux.

VAUDEVILLE PURER
This Form Of Entertainment Needs
 No Christian Supervision"

| This Form Of Entertainment Needs No Christian Supervision"
 In all the talk an dto-do about the lcensorship of the stage and screen,s the one branch of popular entertainment that has been considered by all the au- i thorities, self-cOnstituted and other bwise, to be so pure that it needs no Christian supervision is vaudeville. First of all, no avowedly immoral } character may be presented on the stage, and apart from the absolute pro hibition of even the most indirect and constructive lewdness, the hell and damn edict, and general, humane rule against any reference to such per sonal afflictiOns as crOss-eyes, wens, lameness and insanity, the code of ethics of vaudeville, like that of the world outside, is largely geographical. In Pittsburg the manager asked q well known blackgace comedian to put the line, Catfish don't have kittens.
 In Toledo, Ohio, splitting on the stage is considered to be not in good taste. Boston doesn't permit the simile, ''as weak and helpless as German mark.
 At the Palace in New York an act was ordered to omit the line, Wash ington is famous for its marble domes.
 In Louisville, it is considered vulgar to use the line, "Nightshirts and Ma rion Davies." Also hot dog" is vulgar. -Marian Spitzer in the American Mercury.

GRAIN LETTERS
By

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-wheat held steady most of the day but eased off near close. There was selling of wheat by housese who were on the buying side yesterday. Trading was light. A re- port from Argentine said wheat was progressing satisfactorily with showers reported in some localities. Receipts fairly liberal but cash market held steady with good demand for offerings. Bradstreet's report of export clearances for week reflected the active export business. Corn: There was some buying on reports and predictions of frost but action of market was disappointing to the bull side and toward the close prices eased off, most of the day market was very narrow. Oats were relatively stronger but toward the close eased off to nearly same as yesterdays close
 Sentiment prevails that oats are cheap as compared with corn and at present prices is getting better support.-H. 6 B. Beer to J. F. Willingham & Go.

low level. But during this period, warped financial and credit conditions confined the effects of these low levels within the country itself. The trend has since been upward. Their cost of living lifted three points to IA in July.
 In the meantime Germany's foreign trade is still "unfavorable" Her inn ports are greatly exceeding her, ex- ports. During June the excess of i'm ports being 28S,900,0OO gold marks. For the first six months of the year the excess was over 1,500, 100000 gold marks. Even imports in June dropped IF ,00O, 900 marks from the previous month.
 Even given a comparatively lower wage scale, Germany has long road to travel before she can do the United States more harm industrially than she can good. She has climbed to dizzy peak of imitation. The coming down process will be slow and tend to keep her industrially stagnant.

It is quite natural that the incl dentals of Tuxedo dress should vary widely flor the same rigid rules which apply to ceremonious evening clothes (fall dress) are not enforced in semi formal dress. Here, the whim of the wearer has freer scope. All that fash ion decrees is that a man shall stick unswervingly to the two primary colors-black and white. No others are allowed, except, perhaps, very dark gray which shades into black. As a matter of fact, a Tuxedo suit should be chosen under electric light, and not by daylight, so that it's exact tint may be accurately determined.
 The details of informal evening dress, illustrated here, interpret the best of good taste, though they need not be fol- lowed to the degree of that man who "could distinguish and divide hair 'twixt south and southwest side" For example, instead of the broad, straight tie, you may select the batwing or but terfly bow. Instead of the starched shirt bosom, you may choose the Imply starched or. semi-stiff bosom. Instead
