you. Arthur Russell, of Bolivar, La, come

the vast possibilities of music and its i'm

at least like to picture the endless pleasure
that music can bring into lives, and
its great importance. Where there is good
music and singing at Sunday school it helps
out so much. If the young people of now

FRANCS CONTINUE
 DOWNWARD PLUNGE
Drop IF Points To New Low
 For All Time

 NEW YORK, March 7.-Continuation of the record-breaking decline of the French franc today carried the quota tion F points lower, to a. new low for all time at 3.76%c. The overnight ef- feet of the currency's break through the 4c level brought a fresh flood of selling orders from foreign centers which virtually demoralized the market in the early dealings. Buying support was encountered when the rate touched 3.771sc,s and temporary recovery took place. The resistance, however, failed to hold, and the closing quotations es- abolished a new low record.
 While a foreign offensive against the franc was blamed for it's collapse by Paris, the admission that the poor showing in the Bank of France state ment formed good basis for the at- tack and confirmed the views of local bankers, who attributed selling to the billion franc increase in note circula- tion.
 Belgian francs today declined in sym pathy with the French franc to a new low at 3.27hc, while demand sterling yielded 11c, to S4.2S1t on the unset clement in London caused by the drop in francs -'

NEW YORK COTTON NJV1y vnDU HN.-o1. =
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW OhLEAAS . COITON
 NEW. ORLEANS, March 7.--Cotton was in a very bearish mood today and the session was characterized from start to finish by persistent selling pressure. Prices lost all the gains of yesterday and more besides. After starting out 5 to II points down, the market declined steadily under per sistent selling and had lost "A to 75 points before finding resting place. Prices then rallied about 25 points, but the gain did not hold, and final lows for the day showed May at 2S.15c and July at 27.3Sc, or 100 and 96 points, re- spectiyely, below the previous close. The close was at practically the low points of the day. showing losses of 93 to 96 points on old crop months and 66 points on new crop positions.
 Although Liverpool was better than due, prices here were lower than the previous close. The weather map showed unsettled conditions in the belt, but that fact was ignored and selling became urgent and persistent. Senti- ment seemed to be governed by uncer- tainty as to the outcome of the labor troubles in Lancashire, disappointing sales for the week at Fall River, where only 35,000 pieces were sold and new low record for all time made by the French francs.
 Later in the session, after a brief letup in the selling pressure, weakness was renewed by cables, stating that un- less the strikes in the one Oldham mill affected returned to work, the master spinners would put the lockout in force in all mills. Anticipation of bearish mill takings for the week also added to the selling. It was reported that a prominent operator now in Florida had sold 25,000 bales of May.
 Mill takings when issued proved dis appointing, being 163,000 bales, against 186, 900 last year. Except for a very short and modest rally in the late after noon the market continued on the downgrade, closing near net low on all months. ..

BRISK RALLY IN
 PRICE OF WHEAT
Rise Follows Announcement Of Purchase Of 100000
 Bushels In Canada

CHICAGO, March 7.--Announcement of the purchase of two million bushels of Canadian wheat for May-Juiy ship ment to Europe led to a brisk rally in wheat prices today, and the market closed firm, a, shade to Hc net higher. May, sl.11%4I.i1,6 to s1.11ls, and July, s1l1h@1.11x to s1.11ss. Corn finished unsettled at the same as yesterday to -h@Ac lower, with oats varying from ..s6Nc decline to Mc gain, and with provisions l2@12c up.
 It was only near the end of the day that news got out in regard to lCa Euro, rs,., bushel total included 100000 bushels taken today, and the remainder GOV cred amounts bought within the last. few days. Great Britain and Italy were said to have been the principal buyers. In view of depression. of foreign exS change, the. buying for Europe was and had a corresponding decided effect as stimulus to an upturn in values. Earlier, tfss market was weak in sym pathy with corn and as a result of talk. that the expected notice, of wheat tariff advance had already been dis counted as buliish factor. On the other hand, forecast of bullish figures from Washington on Monday about farm reserves tended to assist the late rally.
 Corn and oats declined owing to rather aggressive selling on the part of pit traders in corn. Commission houses, though, became fairly active corn buy CTS subsequently, and with receipts of corn here light a price recovery that nearly offset the downturn. Consign- ments of corn to Chicago were reported as diminishing, and offerings to arrive were virtually zero.s
 Higher quotations or, hogs gave firm ness to provisions.
