REEVES
FOR MINERS
BY international News Service


IRoNWOOD, Mich, Sept. 81
Hope flared anew today for, the
rescue of AZ miners, entombed since
Friday in the Oliver Mining Com
pany's Pabst g mine.
According to company officials
rescue workers will reach the
trapped miners by Wednesday and
it is believed the miners viii be
able to survive until then.
Should the rescue be delayed
longer, however, the men never win
be brought out alive, it is feared.
The entombed men have an ample
supply of water and the oxygen sup
ply is sufficient to keep. them alive
until Wednesday, it. is believed.
All the. men are hardy and able
to go many days, IL necessary, with
out food.
The disaster has created feverish
interest among citizens in this
great iron belt of the upper pen
insula, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Thousands invaded this city over
the weekend. Strong police lines
were required to keep back rela-
tives and friends from the pit.
Little Headway
Nearly 200 men are assisting IN
the rescue work. They are work
ing four hour shifts. They are
making little Roadway.
The men are entombed on the
eighth level.
The three men whose bodies have
been recovered were killed when
the avalanche of rock and debris
struck a mine cage in which thew
were working on the twenty.sixth
level.
Mining officials from the United
States Steel Corporation, of which
the Oliver Mining Company is a
subsidiary, are here. Separate
routes are being worked to reach
the entombed miners.
Four seperate shafts have been
sunk in an effort to reach the
entombed men.
Officials of the mine thus far
have issued no statement us to the
cause Of the collapse. Some people
have ventured the opinion that re-
cent heavy rains tended to loosen
the earth.

LOW COTTON HURTS.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Fear of Drop In Cloth Prices
Keeps New England Buyers
Out of Market.
BY J. G. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to Tne star.
NEW YORK. December Tine
break in the price Of cotton attendant
upon the certainty of a record-b break,
ing crop has hurt rather than helpeo
the textile manufacturers. That was
the opinion expressed by New England
cotton mill men today. Since the tex
tile industry employs more workers
than any other in the United states
their attitude is worthy of consldera-
tion by those in every line or business
endeavor and in every section.
1t Is notable, however. that the Eng
lish, German and Japanese cottoH
goods manufa cturerS do not 1eel ike
wise They are buying cotton at pres
ent prices as fast as their resources
will permit, although the English mllis
cannot run until they get coal, ana
shipments to the other countries are
subject to delay through lack OF shlps.
But the New England mill men say
the drop in cotton values has retard-
ed buying of cotton goods rather than
stimulated it. since consumers are an
ticipating still further reductions IN
cotton cloth prices. Until the break IN
cotton, it appeared the Northern cot
ton mills would close the year with
the highest degree of activity since
1928. But since early Fall the tend
ency, especially in sheet fabrics, has
been for new business to shrink.
This trend and the opinions quoted
above are not universal. even in New
England Some mills have reported
the largest volume Of business booked
since 1922. Operations in Manchester
y. H., have risen as high as 70 per
cent of capacity. while some New Bed
ford plants worked at an even higher
pace. The situation is spotty. This is
shown by the failure to maintain dl-
vidend payments by some compa anles
and the steady payment to stockhold-
ers bv Others. The Maine plants are
improving right now.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS

More About odd Lots"

The machinery for buying and sell
Ing in odd lots on the New York Stock
Exchange is not limited to transac-
tions at the market" Nor Is such
trading confined to investors; small
speculators take advantage Of it. In
other words the facilities afforded buy
ers or sellers Of stock in quantities of
less than 100 shares are just as COM
plete as for those who transact all
their business in lots Of the standard
unit.
To illustrate, let us suppose United
States steel common 10 selling at $l4o
a share in 100-share lots. \ small
investor wishes to buy 10 shares. but
thinks he ought to get his stock eat
a lower price otherwise he does not
care 10 invest lie puts In an order
with his broker 10 buy 10 shares of
Steel common at 1873. The broker
turns the order over to the odd-l0t
house as explained in the preceding
article.
Now because the oddlot dealer
charges a differential Of one-eighth of
a point. the order to buy the 10 shares
at 1873 ia nct executed until there has
heen an independent transaction on
the floor of the exchange for hun
dred shares at 1875. one-eighth OF
point under the price the lo-share in
weston is willing to pay.
Suppose, on the other hand, the or
der had heen TO sell the 10 shares
of Steel common at 1l2. This order
would not have been executed until a
full lot had changed hands AT li2i..
an eighth above the price at which
the small investor was willing to sell.
In both cases the price at which odd
lots are bought and sold is governed
BY the price of the next transaction
in a full lot after the orEer is received
