COTTON LETTERS

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30.-The mar
ket was reactionary today, declining
sharply owing TO storm warnings being
ordered down along, the east gulf coast
and because of no frost Undertaking.,
except light formation locally in the
north central districts. The prediction
of generally fair weather for nearly all
sections of the belt was a depressing
influence also. Returns to the New
York Commercial average the condition
of cotton at SOL, crop of IL 0S0, 900 bales
and returns to "a prominent New York
commission house average condition at
54.2, crop, IL, 10000; linters not included.
Liverpool cabled: Large short cover
ing on unfavorable weather south, mod
crate spot demand" Manchester ca
bled: Outlook in Lancashire best since
1920. Many cotton mills, which have
been closed for years, are reopening."
There is no doubI of the spinning sit
uation improving in England, as Ian
cashire's spinning working margin, for
week ending September previous week,
SIS last year, 6.S1 year before last, g. 40
in 1921 and 27.35 in 1920. The weather
bureau reported further heavy rains
during the past "a hours in the South
Atlantic. states, mostly i to 4 inches,
with excessive rains of 4 to inches in
some localities. Because of the low tenn
peratures in the west belt the past week,
and almost incessant heavy to excess
stve rains east half, tomorrow's weekly
is likely to be bullish, in which event
the market may recover temporarily,
but would likely be sold on the bulges,
especially IL good weather prevails over
the belt as Is indicated. The almost
incessant heavy to excessive rains in
the eastern belt have undoubtedly done
damage 10 the crop as well as to the
grade but advfces from there say ex-
tent of damage will not be known for
q few days yet.-H. & B. Beer to J. r.

NEW YORK, Sept. s0.-Public offer
ing of s50.o6o0o0 Mexican government
bonds, without the knowtedge and par
ticipatidn of international bankers, to-
day provoked widespread comment and
discussion in Investment circles.
No information as to the success Of
the offering was available here, as ]. L.
Arlitt, a banker little known In Wall
street, who is attempting to float the is
sue. was said to be directing operations
from his headquarters in Austin, Texas.
Miss A., M. Hillenmayer. in charge of
Mr.. Ariitt's New York office. denied
knowledge Of the details Of the trans
action and said offers to purchase the
bonds would be forwarded to Austin.
Unlike most foreign and corporation
bond offerings, the Mexican Issue APP
parently has not been underwritten, but
will be sold for the government on a
commission basis
Official comment on the transaction
was, withheld by members OF the In
tsrnationat committee of bankers on
Mexico, which negotiated the Mexican
debt agreement In 1922. Suspension Of
this agreement was necesaitated earlier
this year when Mexico dafaulted inter-
est payments on the bonds involved in
/ the plan. 30
Since proceeds from the sale of the
present issue, 1t was said, would be used
TO pay arrears and to resume service on
the debt, members of the international
committee expressed the hope that the
offering would be successful, although
they appeared doubtful that the market
could absorb such large loan at this
time. Bankers affiliated with the COM
mittee said they did not know Mr.. Ar

that induced selling was reports from

TF initiation before long comes to cast
its shadows over the business
horizon, as some authoritative econ
omists have recently found good reason
to fear is spossible, 1t will be accom-
panied by two boon companions-ris-

commercial loans at banks. 1t is
largely because these two companions
also participate in sound business
progress that initiation is, so often as
sumed to be real prosperity until the
damage to business ledgers is beyond
quick repair. ~
Wise business men, therefore, watch
the manouverings of prices and bank
loans, as depicted for this year and last

fear rising prices and increasing loans,

At the Lyric

The best all-round bill of the year
is the word that s going the rounds
about the program which CLOSES at the
Lyric tonight after delighting audi
.ences since Monday afternoon. For a
headliner there is one of the best dane
ing numbers ever seen on the Lyric
stage. 1t is "Knick Knacks," an en-
tertaining collection of choice bits Of
songs, dances and comedy put on by a
quintet of real artists. The added at
traction is presented by Walter New
man and company. This is a comedy
sketch, Battling Terry" and it is de-
scribed as a riot. Mr.. Newman is we'll
known and with him are Carlotta Irwin
and Ethel Mulholland. The special
feature is the work of Bayes and Speek,
The London Johnnies." These two
boys long ago won themselves a high
place in vaudeville. Rounding out the
colorful> program are Alice Diaz and
Harold Powers in 'Frolics on Silver
Thread" and Charles SIENNA and Helen
Dean in Charles Night Out"

1t may be that initiation is at pres
ent to be feared. The tremendous sup
ply of money in this country and the
ease with which II can be borrowed at
low rates of interest Is assured1y q
temptation. But to experience real in
flation, there must be desire to bor-
row for unwise speculative purposes.
Developments thus far since prices Of
commodities began to rise in late sum-
mer, however, indicate that IL such a
desire turks in the hearts of business
men, 1t has been curbed. Both price
advances and Increases in bank loans
have been moderate, sufficiently so to
preclude fear of initiation unless there
comes another upward turn in the lines
of the chart which proves to be sus-
tanned and marked. II this should hay~
pen, 1t would be a danger signal well
worth needing before the pockets of the
business world are boldly picked. For
no one prefers initiation to sound prog
ress except those who have the get
