FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-(AP)-Sweep-
ing declines in the prices of cotton and
speculative stocks were the chief un-
settling incidents in this weeks finan-
cial markets. Trading in all securities
and commodities was extremely ner-
vous throughout the week, although
bonds held fairly firm in the face of

prices ended the week with little
change.
The governments forecast of the
largest cotton crop on record demor-
allied the market for this staple, de-
pressing the price to pre-war levels
below 1S cents pound, equivalent to
a decline of $50 a bale in the past
month. Fears that this situation would
react unfavorably on general business
conditions probably accounted for
much of the selling pressure against
the stock market, which also was
forced to undergo a drastic correction

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO,g Oct. --6AP)-Evening up
of accounts so as to be prepared for
the United States government crop re-
port on Monday gave relative steadi-
ness to wheat values today, closing
quotations ON wheat were rather firm
at the same as yesterdays finish to 3s
cents higher, with corn "a to ~ cents
down, oats * cent off and provisions
varying from 10 cents decline to an
equal advance.
At first the wheat market tended
downward, influenced a good deal by
scarcity of ocean vessels available for
grain carrying and by lack of any
large export buying OF North American
wheat Accumulation of grain stocks
at Duluth was drawn attention to in
this connection as significant, the total
having reached about 24,5O0,0 900 BUSH
els.
S With only few boats loading and
with foreign demand small, no relief
for Duluth congestion next week was
in prospect.
Price rallies, however in the wheat
trade became the rule later. There was
no aggressive buying, but previous
sellers were in general reversing their
position, Notwithstanding the Canadian
weather conditions were favorable on
the whole and that farm deliveries in

GERMAN MOVIE STAR Is
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

BERLIN, Oct. 9.-(AP)-From doctor
of philosophy, with her major thesis
the history of art, to a movie star is
the career of Canneliese Ullhorn, of
Wiesbaden. Her screen name is Christa
Tordy.
Christa's cousin. Mady Christians, is
a popular film actress. Christa acted
as Mady's secretary while she was a
student at Berlin university. Christa
after leaving Berlin university attend
ed Breslau university, where she passed
her Doctors degree three months ago
at the age of 22. When she returned
to Berlin Christa, through the efforts
of Mady was starred in His Big Case"
a detective story, the film of which
was released in connection with the
international police exposition now go
ing on in Berlin. Christa's father is
wealthy manufacturer of chemicals.
Her late uncle, Rudolf Christians, was
one of the lead actors in former En-
peror Williams court theater.
The German people are working to-
day as never before. Approximately
1000, 900 more persons are earning their
living than before the war, notwith
standing the fact that 100000 unem-
ployed are supported by doles and
despite the tremendous reduction in the
standing army.
Where SO per cent of the entire popu-
lation was employed in gainful pur-
suits in 1918, government reports show
more than 72 per cent SO employed to-
day. Yet per capita income is only
5000 a year. The great middle class,
whose income from investments en-
.abled it to live comfortably without
working before the war, was virtually
wiped out by the initiation of the mark.
Daughters and sons of army officers,
owners of landed estates and others
thought it beneath their dignity to
work, have now been forced to help
support their families. But even now
there are CAT men for every new job
open to men and 424 women for every
job in which women are wanted.
When Shakespeare put the words "a
cup of SACK in the mouth of falstaff
in Henry Four" he said something
from which, according to a recent
revelation, Germans derived their name
for champagne.
Ludwig Dexrient, noted German
Shakespearean actor, it has been dis
closed, originated the term back in
1910. Devrient dropped in on rutter
and Wegner's famous wine cellar in
Berlin with his author friend, E. T. A.
Hoffman. Using the original English
for the words he SO often spoke from
the stage in German, Devrient ordered
@'cup of sack" The waiter misun
derstood the English and brought
champagne. z Since then sack" which
Germans acquiring knowledge of
English would pronounce "seckt." has
designated champagne.

CHICAGO, Nov "a. tP--Active buy
ing simultaneously with Argentine
crop damage reports and with unex-

ket, carried wheat values upward here
today. Chicago closing prices on
wheat were firm, "a cent to Ss cents
net higher; corn u cent to Is cent up;
oats at a cent to 9s cent, u cent
gain, and provisions unchanged to a
rise of 25 cents.
Some of the buying which lifted the
Chicago wheat market came from cal
endar traders, a class that bases deal
ings largely on belief that at various
set times of the year the prevailing
conditions as a rule favor definite
market trend. 1t so happened that

tina said that after touring zoo miles

that other Argentine adVices said the
weather today was generally favorable
and that the wheat harvest is in full
swing over the northern half of Ar
gentina with yields weighing 63h
pounds to the bushel, the crop dam
age reports attracted the greater at.
tention in Chicago. Meanwhile export
demand for North American wheat was
