GROWERS MAY
RECOVER 1926
COTTON LOSSES
Government Expects Years
Short Crop to Bring
Higher Prices.

BIZ Uniisd Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-South-
ern farmers, who suffered economic
depression last year through low
cotton prices, may recoup some of
their losses this season.
Agriculture Department officials
estimated today that the short crop
this year will probably bring one
fourth more than the bumper cot
ton harvest of 1926.
The record crop last fall of nearly
100000 bales forced cotton prices
to extremely low levels. Most South
ern planters had to sell at less than
production costs.
Nature Interferes
Nature now is taking another
track. The boil weevil has attacked
the crop, weather conditions for boil
fruiting have been unfavorable and
spring floods prevented planting of
thousands of acres in cotton, thus
remedying the over-production
menace.
Farmers themselves reduced cot
ton acreage 12.4 per cent on the
area planted last year. This cur
tailment was made on advice of the
Government, which warned that fl
nancial chaos in the cotton belt
would result if heavy planting con-
tinued, thereby Cutting the world
market.
Proper Balancing
The crop now is estimated at H.
$4,000 bales, about 100000 bales
less than the 1926 crop. officials
estimated the 1926 crop was just
100000 bales too high, so the re-
adjustment this season again bal
ances production with consumption.
The crop, however, may be larger
or smaller, depending on further,
advances by the weevil and weather
conditions, but indications were to-
day that it would run somewhere
between 100000 and 100000
bales.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Reaction-
airy tendencies set in on the stock
market after an irregular opening
today. The decline was orderly,
however, and not severe break was
precipitated.
United States Steel and the two
General Motors stocks were I'M
changed at the opening, but all
eased off fractionally in the early
trading. American Smelling opened
at 1771z, up q, but later dropped to
TITS. General Electric extended
an early loss of Is by point and
Allied Chemical lost all of its initial
gain of " point, while Houston Oil
slipped off IL to $50.
Selling was based to some extent
on the increase in brokerage loans
which sent the figure to a new high
peak. This, however, was believed
to be only a temporary condition
which would pass, as money rates
continued easy.

Reserve Figures

Some nervousness was caused in
speculative circles by the rise in
Federal reserve figures on local
brokerage loans to a new high rec
ord of $3,206, 299, 900 as of Sept. Z,
an increase of $22,241, 900 over the
preceding week.
Publication of these figures after
Thursdays close brought consider
able selling into early dealings and
active stocks worked generally lower.
Steel common sold off u to 1915;
Houston IL to $50; General Elec-
trio, " to 142; American Can,
point to 6324, and Chrysler, u to go.
Bullish enthusiasm was revived by
strong public demand attracted to
the market by the early recession.
Instead of discouraging outside par
ticipation, price recessions had the
effect of bringing in fresh buying
orders in large volume. This evil
dence of the strong underlying de-
mand for standard stocks caused an
urgent covering movement around
noon.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11--An immense amount of propaganda of a political. social and racial nature is developing in some countries of South America against the United States, and the feeling Is held in some quar- ters that the United States wishes to oppose "her imperialis- tic will'' in the southern portion of the hemisphere, Niles Poin- dexter, ambassador to Peru, de- clared after a call on President Coolidge.
 The ambassador said that these subtle influences" emanated from Russia, Great Britain and Other European countries and he felt that they were designed to undermine the confidence of South American republics in the United States.

 MT. Van Loon. native of Holl- and and a Cornell graduate. has been married twice before, first to the former Eliza Bowditch of Bos- ton, and later to the former Hell en Criswell. Miss Goodrich was divorced from Robert Ames, ac- tor, in 1923.
 MT. Van Loon and his present wife, The American says. have individual earning capacities, a particular circle of friends and definite though different artistic ambitions.
 Once week or perhaps less often. he calls Miss Goodrich on the telephone. In typical con versation he inquiries as to her health and her engagements for the evening. If she has none they go out to dinner together; if she is occupied MT. Van Loon cheerfully accepts the situation with well. all right Sum. ming up the relation. the author says. according to The American:

NEW YORK, Nov. 11--An ultra modern secret marriage between Hendrix Willem van Loon. author, and Frances Goodrich, actress, is described in the New York Amer ican.
 MT Van Loon, author of "The Story of Mankind" says he does not remember the date on which he and Miss Goodrich. who at tained stardom in Come Out of the Kitchen" few years ago. were married by Rabbi Lewis Browne. Nor does he remember the city where the ceremony took place, although he identified it. as Miss Goodrich's native town Tn New Jersey.
 The author indicated their union followed a three-year court ship in which he and Miss Good rich made the terms of their un- written marriage bond.
 Neither assumes the slightest obligation, eltner as regards per- manence of affections, time or so- ciety, to the other.
 Two Establishments
 Each maintains separate ess tablishment--Mr Van Loon in Greenwich Village and Miss Good rich in the midtown district. near the theatres-and each may work out career without hindrance, help or advice from the other.
 As there is no sharing of the home, there is likewise no shar- ing of money or property.
