COTTON FUTURES
IN SWIFT ADVANCE
Jump of $12 a Bale, New York,
$5 in New Orleans, Early
Market.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Diminishiug
supplies caused another heavy buying
movement in the cotton market today
and May contracts jumped 20 points
to $3.50, making fully $12 bale ad-
vance in two days. Due to wet
weather in the southwest, new cotton
months advanced about 80 points.
October selling at 26.O1.
The market opened unchanged TO II
points lower under realizing promoted
by the relatively easy showing Of
Liverpool. but almost imme edlatelE
turned strong on continued covering
by near month shorts Influenced by
the firmness of foreign exchange, be
lief that the Dawes report would be
faVorab bly, received and a bulliSh view
OF the weekly weather report.
Liverpool advanced sharply on the
indications of strength here and the
buying locally became active and eX-
cited with May selling up to 3l.S0, or
20 points net higher, during the early
trading. The demand for later de-
liveries was less active, but October
advanced to 26.0l, making net gain
Of 80 points.
Jump of 81 n Bale.
NEW ORLEANS, April Cotton
futures advanced $5 a bale here this
morning. The increase in prices dur
ing the last two days has reached Sl5
Il bale. May contracts traded at 32.23
cents or SO points over yesterdays
close. The Dawes report helped the
advance. All tenderabIe stock is now
said to be in a few strong hands.
The market opened about unchanged
from the close of yesterday, with
Liverpooh lower than due but show
ing big spot sales Of II, 900 bales.
Immediately after the opening May

! October made only moderate gain,
trading at 25.32. or 81 up. The Dawes

SEVEN DAY WEEK STILL
RULES IN GARY STEEL

By international Labor News Service
GARY, Ind, Oct. Statements
to the effect that the seven-day week
has been abolished in the steel in
dustry are shot TO pieces by informa-
ton given International Labor News
Service by steel mill employees here.
While in the present somewhat de-
pressed condition of the trade there
has been a division of work to hold
men on the payroll, the seven-day
week has not been abolished. On the
contrary, where it had been abolish
ed it was brought back into opera
ton when the 9-hour day was intro
duced.
Blowers, cast house crews, store
men, skip men and some other work
the seven-day week regularly. Mill
wrights and pipe filters among ae-
tual furnace employees also work the
seven-day or 56-hour week.
Thus far the elimination of the
lseven-day week, so far as actual
furnace employees are concerned, is
pure bunk, at least as far as the Gary
works, the Steel and Tube company
Of America and the Ireland Steel COM
pany are concerned.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. q
Prices of farm products are ap-
preaching the level OF the prices of
other commodities, including those
the farmer buys. According to the
latest survey of the Department of
Labor, the Level of farm prices at
wholesale for August vas 40 per cent
above the level of 1918. The average
level of eight other groups of COM
modities was 81 per cent above 1918.
The eight groups making up the aver
age are foods, building materials,
house furnishings, metals, chemicals,
clothing, fuel and miscellaneous com
nnodlties.
Since the period of falling prices
set in, farm products have been far
below the level of other groups. In
August, 1928, there was a spread of
20 points between the average of the
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-10-03

eight groups and the farm price level.
This August the spread is only seven
points. This is the result of the re-
cent gains in farm prices while the
average of the other groups stood
still. Furthermore farm prices are
continuing their advance SO that the
spread will narrow.
The level of farm prices is still
not the highest it has been for the
past year, for in November, 1928, it
stood at as per cent above the 1913
level. However, in November crops
are to large extent out of the farm
ers' hands while in late summer and
early fall the crops are being mar
keted so that the farmers reap the
benefit of higher prices then. Usually
at this period prices fall because the
supply is large. This year they are
moving contrary to the seasonal
trend.

It eliminates all doubtful States and
practically cuts Davis and LaFollette

What this means is that If Il OF

What does seem plain from these
figures is that to be elected Mr.. Cool
idge must carry practically all the
States In which there Is a real doubt.
II Davis or LaFollette, between them
get 81 out Of that 80 there will not be
t266 left for Coolidge. If he lost Ohio,
for instance, he coud not win. Or If
Indiana and Iowa, or Indiana and
New Jersey got away, he would be
lost.
So it seems the certainty" with
which the Coolidge publicity agencies
are SO earnestly trying to impress the
people is actually cloak for very
great uncertainty. In these figures
New York is put in the Coolidge col
umn for two reasons: First, because
he would have no show at all without
it's As votes, and second, because the
general feeling is that he will carry
it. This feeling and the forecasts
based on it is, however, just as apt to
be wrong as right, and the Democrats
by no means concede it.
As matter of fact, it comes down
to this: With New York, Coolidge
may still easily fall short Of 266
votes. With New York, Davis could
easily be elected. The thing apparent
ly swings on New York.

"7he Side SholD Of Life"
Taken From Famous Book

A heart-stirring story, fine acting,
beautiful photography, capable direc-
ton and circus and society setting
combine to make "The Side Show of
Life" the Paramount picture that
will be shown at the Century Theatre
during the week beginning Monday,
September %, excellent screen enter
tainment, according to those who have
seen 1t.
The picture Is an adaptation Of VIM.
J. Locke's famous novel "rhe Mount
bank" with Ernest Terrence, whose
work in "The Covered Wagon"
brought him into the limelight, in the
leading role.
The plot begins to unwind when we
meet the amusing personality Of An
drew Lackaday, whom we first know
as a clown in small travelling circus.
The coming of the great war puts an
end to his fun-making antics. He en-
lists as private but through sheer
merit finds himself a hero and is rap
idly and accepted in the most exclu-
sive circles of the English aristocracy.
But he believes himself to be only a
clown after all and turns his back on
the woman he has learned to love and
returns to his little circus. And then
comes the dramatic climax.
Mr.. Terrence plays the clown and
his supporting cast includes: Anna @.
Nilsson, Neil Hamilton, William Ric-
cardi, Eifie Shannon, Katharine Lee
and others.
A special musical act will also be
given as part of the program with ].
Humbird Duffey, the well known ten
or and Katherine Mackenzie the ia
nous prima donna, both of whom were
formerly with the De Wolf Hopper
Comic Opera Company, singing the
popular numbers from various we'll
known musical comedies. They will
be accompanied by Baltimore's larg-
est and finest Symphony Orchestra,
under the direction of George Wild. !.
