COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Results of the British election yesterday were satis- factory to merchants in that the Con- servative party appears to have secured majority and that the more radical wing of the labor party appears to have met with signal defeat. Sentiment Is en- couraged by this result as another in- dication of returning stability to Flu rope, which must mean an increase in the takings of raw materials, among which, of course, is American cotton. The technical results in the markets were rather divergent. There was an
 immediate improvement in sterling ex-
 change, which improvement was reflect. ed in the comparative weakness of Liv- erpool and strength of New York. On the whole, the American market was dull through most of the day, although with firm undertone. Traders recall the fact that the American election is
 not to be held until next Tuesday SC that there is not much disposition to enter into fresh commitments. Weather conditions in the south were generally favorable. Liverpool futures are due tomorrow, December, 13.22d; January, 13.24d.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.
 NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 3o.-Not- withstan6ing the conservative landslide in the English election, which is con- strued as favorable for trade interests eventually, Liverpool was disappointing today, causing American markets to rule easier.
 Private cables attributed the decline abroad to hedge selling undoing of straddles and because of the excitement attending the election.
 A i, hYYNa fau ha st 12,929.0 .00C against their previous esti- mate of 12,S38,000 when the govern ment's forecast was 12,675,000. On the other hand, returns to the American Cotton association average the condition at 55.7, pointing to a 12,304 ,000-bale crop.
 The market ruled very quiet today in of the disposition to go slow in business until after next Tues days presidential election in the United States. A private cable from Liverpool today which is looked upon as signifi- cant was to the effect that London was buying cotton. Aside from the uncer- tainties attending the presidential cleo tion next week the trade will have to reckon with the uncertainty of the weather inland and numerous private monthly crop reports in advance of the government due November 8 as to con dition of the crop, forecast of produc- tion, ginnings to the close of October. Ginnings are likely to be large again.
 The next ginning government report will compare with 7,6O1 ,00O bales ginned to October IS this year and 7,556,000 to November 1 last. ChancheS are that ginnings of about 9,0O0,O00 bales will be accounted for to November 1 this year.
 After the next ginning report, gin- nings are likely to figure comparatively smaller as the crop Is pretty we'll out out in most sections of the belt. HI. & B. Beer.

 Eddie Parilo and Gloria Archer, in their skit, ''The Girl Next Door," are a clever young couple, who combine with song. Eddie makes a hit with his Hard Hearted Hannah, the Vamp of Savannah" while Gloria typifies the tickle, coQuettish flapper type to per- feetiCn.
 Roxy La Rocca, billed as the "wiz- ard of the harp," improved in pOpu- larity as his act heightened. Roxy started with the classical numbers, then gave way to popular songs. Both types met favor with the audience.
 Sam Hyams and Clara Louise Evans, with their skit, "The Quakeress," had combined offering of song and com edy to make. The quaint talk and ac- tions of the little Quaker miss were interesting, while the couple teamed together well on the melody.
 Lorraine Howard and Flo Lind, who also were on the bill for the first half of the week, were back for another per formance. Their act, "Wedding Belles," was revamped-in fact, it was a new performance entirely. The two misses cater to comedy this time, instead of harmony, but that surprising contralto voice of one of the pair can't be camou

It has some of the most lavish sets ana beautiful cxteriors we have ever seen. There IS gorgeous gambling resort, palatial homes, hotels and yachts, gowns galore
 Around these externals is woven an intensely absorbing story of an ultra modern society girl, Joan Bruce, whose filtration with a married man almost causes her to lose the man she loves. Those who have nothing to do in life but play are surrounded by q glamOrOus veil through which the rllblic is all ways trying to peer. Miami lifts that veil and givesi an intimate view of the idle rich. There is also con siderable Hamper stuff" wild jazz parties, joy rides, a series of mad "dare dives and lots o1 other big times.
 Philippe <. RoweIl will render spe- cial music each night after seven on the Capitol pipe organ and selected comedy will be added to the program :n the evening.

'SANCHO PANZA' }. IS TIMELY PLAY
Skinner Vehicle Changes Ones Ideas Of POpu-
 lar Government

With Otis Skinner, one of America.s most distinguished actors, at his best, "Sancho Panza," Russell Janey's pro- duction of the play of Melchoir Langley, adapted from Cervantcs' famed Don Quixote de Ia Mancha' began a three day engagement at the Jefferson theater Thursday night.
 "Sancho Panza," n scintillatlng satire on government, and brimmed with, philosophy, arrives in Birmingham at psychological time, a week before elections. To see Otis Skinner as gov crnor of Barataria,, administering his own ideas of justice, during all types of crises and not have ones own thoughts about governmept changed slightly, would be unusual.
 Don Quixote's square, an ordinary tcatherd, is thrust upon bis life's sam- bition 10 be governor. His adventures as governor forms the plot of "Sancho PanZa."

STERLING LEAPS
 AS BRITISH VOTE
 SWANS MARKETS
Conservative Sweep Be lieved Forecast Of Ger
 tain La Toilette Defeat
By EDWARD J. CONDLoN

,(by Leased WIro 10 ABc-Hoi"AuI NEW YORK, Oct. 3o.-The greatest | impelding force in the financial mar kets Thursday was the British cleo | tion. The sweep of the Conservative marty. the vote running two to one ahead of all other parties in the House of Commons, was interpreted by some traders in Wall street as indicative of the present reactionary trend through out the world and of the certain defeat of La Follete. Railroad stocks closed shade higher on an average. and the industrials slightly better than half point net higher.
 Sterling Is Up
 Sterling leaped cents, sold off on profit taking but close with net ad- vance of IA cents. Grains, however, were depressed, wheat leading the de- cline on reports of lower market in Liverpool on news of increased ship ments from India. Cotton closed easier.
 A quite unexpected happening was tbe easing of inc call money rate to the 2 per cent level for the first time since last week. Coming at a time when purchases of German bonds have been called upon to pay for their all lotments in cash, it was all the more surprising. It was estimated that the turnover in connection with the final payments of buyers of the $110,0OO,OOO German issue would be $100,000,000 since the issue was sold at 92. Incidentally, word comes from abroad that the pro- ceeds of the American portion of the loan may be sent to Germany after all and placed in the Reichsbank's reserve instead of being held here to finance purchases.

BARNUM CIRCUS THRILLS CROWD
 AT SMITH PARK
Too Much For Two Eyes
 To See. Verdict Of
 Audience ,.

Barnum and Bailey and Ringling Brothers circus demonstrated to Bir- mingham Thursday that it can still lay claim to the slogan, 'The Greatest Show on Earth" when the "big top'' was erected at Smith park.
 From the grand opening parade to the final acts on the program, the cir GUS provided rapid-moving and ever changing panorama of acts,. to the ac- compartment of one of the best circus bands ever heard in Birmingham The show left nothing to be desired, either in the eyes of the small boy or the adults who packed the mammoth tent, both afternoon and evening.
 The animal acts, without which it would not be circus, consisted of trained seals, trained dogs, bears, ti- gers and elephants. One of the acts which proved to be unusual was the five baby-elephahts-still going to school.
 The featured acts were Miss Mae Wirth and Miss Lietzel. Miss Wirth, announced as the worlds greatest rider, introduced an innovation into her per formance by leaping from the ground to the back of a galloping horse while her feet were encased in 1S-inch baskets.
 Won Applause
 Miss Lietzel, without doubt, the best performer on the flying rings, won the greatest applause of the evening with her feet of turning 100 back flips, using only her right arm.
 One other performer stood out among the galaxy of acts. It was Miss Flor ence Nelson, who, at the conclusion of the Nelson family acrobatic act turned a series of back flips, carrying her from one end of the tent to the other, at a speed faster than the aver. age person walks.
 three stages or the four rings was good. So good, in fact, that it was impossible to concentrate on any one ring. At the left, there would be a man sliding down wire on his head while at the other end of the tent, an acrobat was defying death while balanc ing at the top of slender pole, held by | an assistant. One would try and watch the trained dogs in the main ring, but was impossible to pass up the trained seals, which balanced and tossed ball: with amazing accuracy.
 Clowns Funny
 And, of course, the clowns kept tn, audience Tn an uproar. There seldom was time when the scaramouches oi the circus were not in evidence. About the biggest laugh-producer of the eve ming was the trained goose, which pur sued one of the clowns around the arena. Then the clown band enter. tained, featuring its trombonist, who played "How Dry I Am" until de. luged with water from a hidden tank,
 After the main performance, the Far West and Wild West after-show intro duced to Birmingham some of the most famous cowboys and cowgirls and steer bulldoggers in the country.

.l \ the long run of the play in the norths that Dapple Donkeys are now being manufactured by a New York toy company. Robert Roasaire, an English pantominist, makes the donkeyya point of hunor and interest throughout the. entire play.
 Otis Skinner, with his voice that can be heard even if he whispers, brings to modernity an excellently draMatized sliece of the atmosphere of Cervantes. It is easy to agree with .Sancho that government is not mat ter of laws, but of hearts and happi-' ness.
 2 A trace of the Russian drama can be found in the production, attributable to. the direction of Richard Boleslpwsky, of the Moscow Art theater, which serves to make the play more unique.
 The fantastic comedy will play Fri- day and Saturday at the Jefferson with matinee oD Saturday. "Sancho Panza" is Otis Skinner's first appear nncc in Birmingham after an absence of several seasons.

point in either "s .ne above lines, but rather the direction in which the lies are moving. For, disregarding the 1913 base. it was long too plainly evident for the comfort of those concerned that farm products were in severe price dis parity with other commodities.
 Under such conditions, farmers could not be expected to prove of much as- sistance in the development Of an era of IrospeAiy. The lack of balance be- tween farm and industrial buying pow CT, in fact, may have been one of the reasons why 1923's prosperity proved a spurt rather than long distance event. Now, however, conditions have changed somewhat. Let the upward trend of the farm product price line continue and sooner or later, the farmer will be in a position and frame of mind to em- ploy fully his tremendous consuming needs for the advancement of real, sustained prosperity that will be en- joyed equitably in all sections of the country,

TN THE foregoing chart will be seen
 two lines that during recent months
 have gradually come nearer to- gether. Cheerful news, this, because one line represents the prices of prod ucts from the farm and the other prices of non agricultural commid.ties. There can be no genuine, nationwide pros- perity if one class ot consumers is forced to pay more in proportion for what it buys, by far, than it receives fer the goods which 1t in turn produces and sells. Such situation it was with which farmers were confronted for many months until this year.
 The orly quarrel which may be found with the story as told by the above chart is that both indicies are based upon 1923 as equalling 100 per cent. It might be argued, and with some justi- fication, that 1913 is not the most logi- cal year to consider as a base for both farm and non-agricultural products. Yet the fact remains that what is most significant is not the position of any
