COTTON RISES
 AFTER REPORT
 \ Realizing Furry Quickly Passes, Followed By
 Advance

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The cotton market was featured today by the gov ernment report. This placed the indi- cated crop of 12,s16,000 bales, while the census figures showed ginning of 9,694,920 bales prior to November 1. Both statements were closely in line with expectations.
 pearance was quickly absorbed, the market advancing from 2290 to 23.75 for January on covering and trade buying, southern selling on the ad- vance and further realizing eased prices off a few points in the fore noon, but the close was steady with net gains of 40 to 53 points with January quoted as 23.53.
 The market opened barely steady at unchanged prices to a decline of 13 points in response to relatively easy Liverpool cables and d better weather map than anticipated.
 The initial selling was absorbed by covering and trade tying, promoted by reports of increased activity in the local goods market, but after showing net advances of 10 to IS points, prices casey back to about last nights clos ing figures under pre-bureau liquida- tion. Selling on the publication Of the report carried December off to 22.s3 and March to 23.30, or 10 to 20 points net lower, but trade interests were good buyers on this comeback and the market quickly turned up on covering.
 December advanced to 23.55 and March to 2400, active months showing net gains of 60 to 65 but the close was 12 to g points off from the best.
 Buying on the late forenoon advance was supposed to be promoted by the optimistic view of general trade pros poets encouraged by reports of in creased business in the local cotton goods market yesterday and the recent action of the stock market.
 Private cables reported a steady undertone in Liverpool cue to cov- ering and the strength of the Egyp- tian market, which showed further advance of 35 to 60 ponits today.
 The amount of cotton of shipboard awaiting clearance the end of the week was estimated at 123,1 bales, against 115,489 last year. ...

CURB EXCHANGE.

CURB EXCHANGE.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Demonstration of the active public participation was again evidenced in today's short ses- sion of the curb exchange. Material advances took place in many sections and new high records were established in Nickel Plate issues while others dis played pronounced strength around newly established new quotations.
 United Bakeries yielded 28 points from Fridays high figure, selling to 152 while Ward Baking A made new high selling at 126A. Coal shares also were strong.
 There was urgent buying in the pe- troleum division, quotations rising to the highest levels in many months.
 The market during the week was nat uraHy influenced by the results of the of the week many stocks were estab- lished at materially higher figures. The baking stocks had violent movements, explained by the announcement of the incorporation of the Continental Baking Company with a capitalization of 6,000,- 900 shares representing an intended mer- ger. United Bakeries ranged from 153 to TO, a new high record. Coal stocks in the last half of the week were promi- nent. Glen Alden moved up points to 130, a new high record and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western coal rose over six points to 108%.
 In the public utilities group, Cities Service early in the week ranged from 1S0 to 190 but Friday and today was in supply and dropped to 169. A num- Der of other utility issues showed strength, among them being Appala chian, Commonwealth and American Gas and Electric, which rose over 10 points.
 There was a falling off in the inter- est in the radio issues. Freed Isemann reacted from 311a to 29b and the re- gently issued Thermiodyne, after sell in at a premium over its subscription fell back to the subscription prices.

NEW ORLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. S.-The cot ton market today was dominated en- tirely by the government reports. The estimated crop of 12 S16, 900 bales and the total ginnings prior to November l, of 9,694, ,920 bales, were at first consid- cred bearish and prices dropped 50 to o6 points Immediately. Sentiment prompt ly changed, however, and a wave of buying carried prices up 109 to 110 points from the lows within five minutes. The market then ruled steady to the close of the short session, losing less than 2O points of the advance.
 After an early advance of 15 to 16 points on less favorable weather, the market turned easier and just before the government report was issued Decem- Der traded at 22S6c and January 22.85c, or 25 to 27 points down from the early highs and to 10 points below the pre- vious close. Immediately after the re- ports were issued December and Janu- ary both dropped to 22.50c and then turned sharply upward, reaching 23.59c for the former and 23.60c for the latter month. After easing off 27 to 2S points from the high in the last half hour of trading the market rallied slightly at the end, the close showing Let gains for the day of 46 to AT points.
 Although the crop estimate as well as the ginning totals were in line with the average of private reports, they were somewhat lower than general trade ex- pectations.
 The weather map showed some rains in the western and central portions of the belt, but the forecast promised fair and colder weather followed by a return of warmer weather. Very little atten- tion was paid to other influences but the government report, although the firmness of the stock market was said to have encouraged rather liberal buying of cotton by Wall street and other in- terests.

CARRIER STOCKS REACH HIGHEST
 IN SEVEN YEARS
Exchange Exper i ences s Busiest Half-Day Ses-
 sion In History

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Railroad shares bounded upward to the highest general price level in seven years touay III the most active half holiday session Tn stock exchange history, the days to- rai sales exceeding 1,450,000 shares. Eixty-seyen stocks, 43 of them rails, broke through to new peak prices TOT the year on net gains that ran from one to four points.
 j With public imagination fired oy the remarkable demonstration which LOOK place yesterday, buying orders con. tinued to pour into the market from all sections of the country, the orders ranging from few shares to DOCKS or 5000 to 5000.
 While speculative interest centered in the railroad shares, bullish enthusiasm was rampant in several sections or the industrial list, U. s. Steel common touched 113. the highest price since 1919, while American Can and U. s. Cast Iron Pipe established record breaking prices for all time at 142A and 125, re- spectively. Other industrials ot sell at new maximum prices were American Tobacco "B", H. R. Mallinson, United Drug, The Brooklyn-M Manhattan Transit issues. Corn Products and LooseWiles Biscuit.
 Buying orders in the rails embraced both the high grade dividend payers and the low priced speculative issues. New York Central touched 116Hs, the highest price since 1912, but closed un- changed at 115k. Southern Pacific crossed par for the first time since 1912. Among the other issues to move into high ground were Pennsylvania, Southern Railway, Baltimore and Ohio, Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville and Nashville and the Frisco, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and Wabash issues.
 Revival of speculative interest in the oil shares attracted considerable atten- tion. Recent increases in crude and gasoline prices, following steady de- cline in crude production have placed the oils in an improved statistical posi- tion, and have checked the speculative selling that has unsettled those shares throughout the greater part of the spring and summer.
 The feature of the foreign exchange market was a further rise in demand sterling to above $4.60, the highest prices since July, 1923.
 Strength of other European currencies also was sustained, with Norwegian kroner reaching a new 1924 top at 14.62c and Swedish Swiss and Dutch ex- changes holding around their records

DRY GOOnS

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Cotton goods buying in the gray cloth division con tinued active today with prices strong. Yarns were firmer and inquiry was reported. Good grades of raw silk were slightly firmer.

But the really Objectionable
feature of the so-called Box in
vestigation committee is express
ed very clearly by DR.. Ashby
Jones, in recent article in the
Atlanta Journal on lobbying or
the right of petition, when he
says:
While l am frankly interested
in the adoption of the proposal
made under Mr.. Bok's offer, that
is not my deepest anxiety at this
time. 1t seems to me that some
thing even more important is III
VOWED in the appointment of this
investigating committee by the
senate. To my mind these self
appointed censors Of the people
of the United States are DELHI
erately challenging the fright of
petition" The course which
they are pursuing is adroit and
dangerous. By suggesting the
powerful influence of money
through innuendo, charging the
motive of private interests and
by seeking to tag his referen-
dunn as a species of lobbying, they
would not only defeat this par
ticular legislative proposal, but
damn all such efforts of the
American people in future. Moth
ing is so disturbing to my hope
for democracy as this arrogant
attitude assumed by the United
States senate toward the express
sion Of the will of the people.
No doubt there are in the
Senate those who would be de
lighted to deny the people the
right of petition, but they can t
get away with that sort of stuff.
The Senate goes along in its own
way until the people are heard
from, then often they are forced
aboutface.
But for the voices from
home where would we be
oftentimes? It's when the people
wake up and demand their
rights that they get them.

The Presidential Preferential
Primary will be short and sweet.
The names of three candidates
will appear on the ballots -
Senator Underwood, of Ala

Jim Reed, of Missouri.
Senator Underwood seems
to have the inside Of the track

ing to wage battle in most of
the counties of the state for him,
believing that in him they have
one of the strongest and most
able men in the nation.

many and strong. He is a big
man in big way and his war
record will appeal to many. His
friends will leave no stone I'M

There's neither rhyme nor
reason for the entry of Jim
Reed. whose platform will un
doubtedly be a straight anti

in this campaign and will not as
sumo any large proportions dur

FRIENDS

Most any decent sort of folk
Will help you when you're strapped and broke;
If you are facing pain and woe,
Most anybody that you know
Will treat you pretty white and fair
If they're convinced you're on the square;
But get What l am driving at?-
A friend does something more than that.
A friend doesn't have to weigh you much
To test your honesty and SUCH
A friend knows faults and virtues, too,
And takes them part Of you.
He tries to keep you out of trouble,
But when you're in--why that does double.
And all your foie he endures
Because hes friend of yours
friend is one with whom you sit
And do not need to talk bit;
Who needs chatter to reveal
Approximately how you feel
Who when your secret hearts unfurled,
Won't rush right out and tell the world
Who's not afraid to step right in
And, tell you what a boob you've been.
But whose devotion it won't Jar
However much fool you are,
Don't you believe the birds who fret
That loyal friends seldom met,
Rare is the man who hasn't got
Someone who loves him quite lot,
Whether he's any good not.
Someone who's faithful to the end
Through thick and thin-and that's Friend!

Mr.. Box sat - and smiled.
What reason can there be
why any one else should not

MONEY ON THE FARM

Not before in the memory of
the present generation has there
been so many opportunities to
make money on the farm as at
present. Practically everything
the farmer grows is selling at at
tractive prices. Not only is tEas
true but we have so many new
money crops that were unheard
OF few years ago. In addition
to cotton we have peaches, pep

melons, truck crops and the old
