NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-tRJ-Thc
cotton market opened firm today at
an advance Of Is to q points on a
continuation of the recent buying
movement. stimulated by apprehen-
sions Of rains IN the Southwest.
Both trade and speculative inter
ests were credited with buying on
the advance. which soon carried the
price of December contracts up 10
1916 and March TO 1900. the general
LIST showing net advances Of 20 10
80 points. At this level there was
extensive realizing and possibly
some selling for a reaction, but
nervousness over the progress Of the
crop remained in evidence, and the
selling was absorbed on setbacks of
2 OF 4 points. The market was
steady az the end Of the first hour.
The advance extended 10 1926 for
December and 1910 for March, max
ing net advances Of about 35 TO 40
points and an advance of nearly 2
cents q pound from the recent low
levels. Reports of wet weather and
low temperatures in the south slim
ulated the demand, but buying was
less active after the advance md
there were rumors of rather f%-
offerings from the south. Prices az
midday were steady within I or 3
points Of the best.

NEW YORK. Sept. 27l-tP1-cot-
ton prices advanced over 81 q bale
in early trading today under a rath-
er heavy demand stimulated by re-
ports Of colder and unsettled wea-
Their in portions of the belt.
The opening was firm at an adj
vance Of 7 points Relatively steady
Liverpool cables and early advlees
Of lower temperatures and unsettled
conditions in the cotton region
brought out good trade buying and
covering after the start which car
ried December and January con-
tracts to 1855. or IS to n points
net up. Towards the end Of the
first hour the undertone continued
firm with prices at the highs.
There was another bulge when the
weather map was issued confirming
the early ~unfavorable weather re-
ports. The buying that ensued car
ried December and January 70 1858
and March 1852, or 80 to IS points
above yesterdays close. The off
cial forecast for rain in most of the
western belt added to the firmness.
Some profit-taking developed al
the advance and there was some
selling reported on the idea that the
technical position Of the market was
weakened. Near mid-session prices
eased 6 20 s points from the top and
trading was somewhat quieter.

The World and All
BRIEF -DER
By Charles p. Driseoll

Many persons are inclined to be respondent about
our American system Of Jurisprudence when there is
an obvious and scandslous miscarriage of justice. A
notorious crook murders his wife and is acquitted by
a sentimental jury sitting around a Christmas tree,
and we hear again, Our courts are terrible. No JUS
tice in them"
The conclusion isn't warranted. Let us say,
rather, that our courts are human. Men and women
make a mess Of it rather often when they try to judge
one another's motives and degrees Of guilt.
But our courts do remarkably we'll, considering
that they are not endowed with more than human wis
dom. ] think professional juries would be better than
amateur juries. l think & bench Of three or five
judges, not necessarily all trained in the law, would
render more just verdicts than can be had under the
existing system. But I do not know. It's easy to sug-
gest changes, but quite often the changes, when made,
are disappointments.
Charles Lindbergh is sitting on top Of the world.
To him, every point on the horizon is south. And he
remains calm and apparently without pride. Every
time he goes up for another long hop I am worried
lest he fall and kill himself. We may have to wait
two centuries for another figure so striking and so
calm.
Quarreis generally grow out Of a lack Of a balanc-
ed sense Of values. Suppose you ara right and the
other fellow wrong. What OF it? Is the question at
issue worth fighting about? Is your rightness so in
secure in your own mind that you must demonstrate
it by making a lot Of unhappiness for yourself and
others?
i know several individuals whose sense Of pro-
|~portionate values is so undeveloped that they might
be expected to risk their lives in a big fire to save
the telephone directory.
Whom shall we choose for president Of the United
States next time7 As ! may have told you heretofore,
take little interess in party politics, and belong to
no political party. ! have only this suggestion to Of
fer. We do not need the best brains in the country in
the White House. Some of our most practical presi-
dents have been men Of mediocre minds. Some of the
most brilliant men we have had in the presidency have
made the office q nightmare. Let us save our brainiest
men for useful work, and give the presidency to some
honest, capable. but not necessarily brilliant individual.
