Z In the Cotton Market
fRy Thomson & McKinnon,

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Better cables gave
the market strong impulse this morning
and an initial advance of about rs points
was well maintained throughout the day.
A demand for January cotton on the Fart
OF spot houses operated as a check upon
short sales and gave additional confidence
to holders of other positions. The ex-
change will reopen after the Christmas
date of first notice day for the delivery of
cotton on January contracts traders are
inclined to stress the strength 10 which we
after the end of the year will hardly &C.
cur unless some pronounced change for the
worse in general textile business is noted;
We see no reason for an aggressive stand
on the long side. but on such declines as
uncover trade demand. cotton is attrac-
tive.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnon,

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Today's stock
market had an opportunity to demonstrate
its inherent strength. The increase in
brokers' loans was passed by practically
unnoticed. Later when the call money
rate was advanced to per cent it like
wise was accorded Scant attention. In
the former instance the assumption was
th0t 100000 share days demand a cor
responding volume of credit and ideas as
to what constitutes huge credit total
standards as long as the money is avail
able. AS to the increase in the call rate,
the market already had its mind made up
to it as an incident to the closing days Of
the wear 1t was reported that as soon as
the Pc cent rate was announced there
WIS, mo money offered than could be
used. Thus from the money standpoint
the market has expressed its approval of
current conditions such trade reports as
were available continued on the construc-
tive side. Copper metal prices were adj
vanced with predictions that the stabiliza-
ton of currency would have stimulating
effect on European industry with a con-
sequent increased demand for copper and
other American products. Within the cur
rent market there is great deal of real
iztng going on. but the eagerness of the
demand more than, effects it.. Both supply
and demand are likely to increase after
the Hrst of the wear. but so far as it is
possible to see ahead 1t looks as If invest
ment requirements will dominate.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-After sew
eral periods of irregularity in the
early dealings today, the stock mar
ket steadied and resumed its ad-
vance under the lead of the prin-
cipal industrials and the copper
group. United States Steel was
strong all day and General Motors
picked up strength in the afternoon
Coppers were actively taken at
higher levels. Greene Copper scared
4 points, while Kennecott, Chile and
Anaconda rose to new record levels,
advances ranging from IL to 2
points.
Oil isues firmed up late in the day.
with American Republic squirting 2
points to IL, equaling it's high of
the year. New York Central buoyed:
up the rails, where activity con-.
verged on Canadian Pacific, Atchi-
son and Erie. Delaware & Hudson
also was in demand rising z point.
Montgomery Ward Up
Montgomery Ward reached new
high ground to feature the mercan-
tile group, while Postum Company
made a new record at the head of
the food group.
Describing the market, the Wall
1n13
today:
Stocks maintained pronounced
strength today despite an advance
in call money to 5 per cent. Al
though this was the stitffest charge
for speculative borrowing since July
/, it compares with 6 per cent for
the corresponding period last year.
Moreover, it was recognized that the
credit stringency would pass after
completion of the year-end settle
ment.
REIMBURSEMENT demand for repre-
sentative stocks was a stronger in
fuence than the temporary stiffen-;
ing of money conditions.
U. S. Steel Leads
Operations for the rise went
ahead without interruption with U.
S. Steel again leading the upward
professions. Steel reached it's best
levels since the October break and
good sized gains were scored by
other trading favorites. Issues with
an investment flavor, including Ma
tional Biscuit. D. L. & W., and Ca
madam Pacific also moved ahead
brisllly. :
Bad breaks occurred in special
ties Ike Fidelity Phoenix and Con-
tinental Insurance, but these sharp
declines did not unsettle the list. 1t
was generally believed that the re-
cent spectacular advances in insur-
ance shares had carried them CON
siderably higher than was justified
by their earnings. Consequently,
the downward plunges of the stocks
were looked upon as a proper ad-
justment Of their values"

New Type of
Picture To Be
Shown at Palace

Manager Herb Norris of the Pal
ace theater, says that the city will
go wild about Thomas Meighan 5
new Paramount picture "The City
Gone Wiid' when it arrives at his
theater tomorrow.
"The City Gone Wild is viv-
idly told tale of modern city s
underworld. 1t treats of its gang
sters; their loves, lives and laughs.
To be brief and to the point, the
story is that of John Phelan, a Grim
inal lawyer and Franklin Amcs "a
district attorney and their love for
NADIA Winthrop, daughter of Luther
Winthrop, an eminent capitalist. IN
spite of their different views on
life and their affection for the same
girl, the two men are close friends.
NADIA really loves John, but, when
due to Ames probe, Gunner Gala
gher, a gang leader, is arrested, and
John agrees to take his case, she
announces her engagement to Amcs.
The latter s Investigations sudden
Is disclose a fact which has a fatal
bearing on his life. AmeS discov-
ers that NADIA S father is really the
uncrowned king of the underworld.
Both he and John realize that to
prosecute Winthrop will mean the
end of their friendship with NADIA.
Winthrop catches wind of what is
going on-and Ames is shot that
njpht in n thcatcr.

Work Started on
Legion Memorial

Tractors and men nave been at
work for the last several days grad
ing and leveling the 40-acre plot
owned by Boyce Aten Post, Ameri-
can Legion, just north of the city
limits and fronting on Imperial ave
nue.. The legion plans to install a
huge recreational center and will
turn over certain portions of the
land to civic organizations of the
city for their use.
Plans are also underway to have
the committee in charge of the
proposed erection of clubhouse
and swimming pool on the plot, get
together late this week to discuss
plans. 1t is hoped that trip can
be arranged for the committee in
which they will be able to look over
clubhouses erected by other posts
along the coast and form an idea of
what they want here.
1t is planned to add football
fields, baseball fields, picnic grounds
and to reserve certain portions for
Boy Scouts and Girl Reserves as
well as to install tennis courts and
places for volleyball and indoor
baseball on the plot.
