range OF prices In early trading to-
day in response to aggressive specu-

small.

Haven common stocks accompanied
the strength and activity OF these
stocks, which again eclipsed their

decade. In the case Of New Haven.

mors were to the effect that Penn.

road on guaranty Of 4 per cent
oividendg to common stockholders.

tors. up 3; Hudson Motors, up q;
Woolworth, up III; Shelters, up
n; Allied Chemical, up l; Wrestling.

TTECToR BERLIoZ
IL was q man of
many eccentrici-
ties. At one time his
peculiar mentality caused
him to set Shakespeare
in the place Of God and
worship him.
But despite his queer
traits, Berlioz was a re-
markable musician. His
orchestration work was
gigantic in conception
and has yet to be sur
passed. In q treatise he
described in detail an
orchestra Of 467 pieces
and $50 singers with
four *snnall" bands Of
wind and string instru-
ments at the corners. He
actually conducted an
orchestra Of 1900 pieces
at = music festival in
Paris in 1914.

new YORK COTTON

NEW YORK Feb. 1.-THE dis.
trIbution Of heavily accommodates
weekend buying orders. coupled
with 4 fair sized volume Of short
covering. caused cotton values to
score advaaces Of approximately SOC
q bale shortly after the opening Of
the market here today.
With the easing Of demand later
on some Of these initial gains Were
wiped out. but prices held moderate
~ above the previous closing levels.
Early support Of the market fell
chiefly under the influence Of the
passage Of the McNary- Haugen bill
by the Senate, and partly as the
result Of encouraging cables from
Liverpool and reports Of copious
gains in the southeastern portion
Of the cotton belt.
Also adding to constructive eentf.
ment were optimistic trade advices
from the Manchester district and q
decided lack Of pressure from the
South.
Lint cotton consumed in the mills
Of the United States during Janu-
airy amounted to 604,5S4 running
bales. according to the Census Blu
reau's report. This compares with
