\. y. STOCKS

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Pl-
Stocks firmer today and closed
slightly higher, although the net
gains were SO small that the move
ment OF prices in the two hour
trading session seemed to indicate
little more than the familiar week
end readjuStment OF professional
trading accounts.
Execution OF overnight selling
orders at the opening sent quota
tons q point or 50 lower during
the first half hour. but when these
offerings had been easily absorbed
professionals showed no desire "
try for a further extension or the
decline and the market hardened.
A rally pushed prices moderately
above the previous close and then
profit taking set in, 10 reduce the
advances. gains in a sizeable list
OF prominent and active issues
amounted TO fractions.
Grains. especially wheat. steadied
on Secretary Hyde's letter to the
Chicago board OF trade concerning
alleged short sales by soviet in
t~erests. but the extreme advances
were small and both commodities
closed slightly lower. Wheat fin
ished unchanged TO 3-6 off. re-
Iecting TO some extent a lack Of
export demand. Corn eased Id TO
3-8 on weekend selling and favor
able Illinois reports. Cotton's net
losses ranged from one to five
points.
The stock market was forced to
worry along without much encour-
agement concerning the state OF
trade. which remains unsettled and
therefore disappointing to the pro
phetS who had made rosy predic-
tons as to what would happen af-
ter Labor day.
Foreign exchanges we're mostly
firm. although some Of the Latin
Americans sagged. The Spanish
peseta jumped about 90.

moderate volume Of trading was re-
ported in cotton here today but ID
seemed TO be pretty well divided
between buying and selling orders
and prices fluctuated within a range
o. 5 TO s points, The new December
contract. for instance, ruled between
li.0l and 1926 closing at 1898. COM
pared with 110l at the close OF the
previous day. The final tone Of the
market was steady at net declines
Of / to s points.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices TO a decline OF 4
points under some overnight selling
orders which seemed to include a
somewhat larger per cent Of hedging
tran recently. According TO local
brokers southern hedge selling has
been a little more active since the
close Of last Thursday, but there
also has been an increase in the vol
ume of trade buying around or
slightly below the IL cent level for
December contracts.
Liverpool was about as due on the
New York close OF Friday. Private
cables said there had been scatter
ing liquidation and hedging in that
market but that the larger damend
for cotton cloths was well maintain
ed with an increased turnover re-
ported at the Shanghai auctions.
The amount OF cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at $4,000 bales
gainst $1,000 last year and 81, 708

GLASS EYE OF SHERIFF
BRINGS PEACE TO JAIL

COLUMBUS, Ohio (N.A.NA). THE
prisoners of the Seneca County, Ohio,
Jail have taken to muttering among
themselves, but neighbors for good
distance around are agreed that this is
a vast improvement over what had been
before. The cause of 1t all is glass

While Burkett was watching the
prisoners would behave, but once he
turned his back on them they made
whoopee in a manner that kept the
law-abiding citizens awake. So Burkett
drilled long line of small holes COM
pletely across an outer wall Of the jail
In one of these holes he placed the
glass eye Immediately the prisoners
saw the eye and kept the peace.
In order to- keep up semblance OF
reality Burkett moves the eye from
time to time and the prisoners. though
resentful, do nothing but humble to
themselves.
