NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. July 2=H9-
Cotton had quiet and rather ir-
regular opening today. Although
cables came in lower than due, July
here opened two points up and
later months only one point down.
After the start, the less favorable
outlook for the moratorium pro-
posal caused long liquidation and
October declined TO 1919 and Dec
ember TO 10.43. or Is TO 10 points
below yesterdays close.
Near the end OF the first hour
the market was quiet but steady
and two points up from the lowest.
The market ruled quiet all morn
ing and prices fluctuated narrowly
within the earlier range, keeping
near the lows. The easier tone was
due to uncertainty over the outcome
or the proposed moratorium. The
approach OF the rational holiday
ON Saturday caused a lack OF desire
to trade. operators being indisposed
to enter upon new commitments.
Near mid-sesSion, October traded
AZ 1920 and December AZ 1043, Is
points down from yesterday.

BOARDING OF MONEY STOPS,
 SAYS HOOVER !
Upward Trend in Public Confidence Is Be-
 ing Indicated

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 3l.-- A sharp upward swing in public confidence which has led already to cessation of money hoarding and the end of small bank failures, is seen by President Hoover, almost two years after the deflation of the stock market which began in 1929.
 President Hoover cited there is a very great change" for the better in credit conditions with its prac- tical effect evidenced by the re- covery of wheat and cotton prices.
 Evidence over the last week indi- cates that not only has hoarding ceased but actually $24,000,000 in hoarded money has been returned to banks and small bank failures have almost ceased. Foreign exchanges have returned to basis on which it is no longer advantageous to ship gold abroad The practical effect of this re- covery," said the President, lis seen in the increased price of wheat by ten cents and of cotton by SIS to $40 bale" --6

!SONC ROMANCE |. TO GIVE WAY TO
 l STRONG DRAMA
Under Suspicion 7 to Be Followed by "Anybody's
 Woman at Coliseum

Under Suspicion" with J. M. Kerrigan in the leading role, will be shown for the last times to- night at the Coliseum theatre.
 "Anybody's Woman" st rin g Ruth Chatterton and Olive Brook, will be the headline offering at the Coliseum theatre tomorrow, the first presentation being at the aft ernoon matinee.
 Under Suspicion" is Fox Movietone song romance with its scenes laid in the Canadian North west. It is replete with humor and has strong cast.
 In "Anybody's Woman" the plot is highly polished treatment of situations and manners. Brook, suavely eloquent to the flick of a cigarette ash, is man of stand ing deserted by his wife. Slightly piflicated and on the loose, he meets Miss Chatterton. show-girl at liberty following the close of production in g decency crusade. Lives Up to Contract !. Several hours later Brooks finds himself married to her, and in true sportsmanship lives up to the contract He is ostracised by his friends, only wealthy client con- tinuing cordial relations; this, for a purpose disclosed later at a party in which Miss Chatterton is the only woman guest. Certain ad- vances made at the gathering, Brooks attitude toward the conduct of his wife and benefactor, the re- appearance of his first spouse and the adjustment indicating happi- ness under approved relations, con- stitute a climax that gives every body's woman and everybody's man, something to think about Strong Supporting Cast The supporting cast embraces: Paul Lukas, Huntly Gordon, Vir- ginia Hammond, Tom Patricola, Juliette Compton, and Cecil Cum ningham.

Branded to Give Way to Never the Twain Shall

With Branded" Western dra- ma, starring Buck Jones, and The Lone Defender" serial, featuring Rin Tin Tin, showing for the last times tonight, at the Capitol The ater, Never The Twain Shall Meet" will be the headline attrac- ton, and The Devils Cabaret" |" the added comedy tomorrow, the first presentation being at the aft ernoon matinee.
 In Branded" Ethel Kenyon, wife of Eddie Sutherland, Paramount director, is Buck Jones leading lady.
 Ethel loves dogs She has a dog and his name is Thomas" Why Thomas" instead of just plain Tom" is one of Miss Kenyon's secrets, but the fact remains the snooty canine won't answer to any thing but this high-sounding name
 Pup Upstages Everybody
 Miss Kenyon brought him over to the Columbia studios during the filming of Branded" and the pup upstaged everyone, who tried to abbreviate his monicker.
 In "The Lone Defender" the photography is excellent. The scen- ic beauty of the American desert, terrible and startling in the mad storm, and the romantic pictur- esqueness of the Mexican border has never been more lavishly spread upon a screen.
 South Sea Romance
 Never The Twain Shall Meet" is a South Sea island romance. The story is based on the old saying that East is East and West is West. It is a dramatic struggle between the fierce passion of the native and the more conservative love of the white.
 Leslie Howard makes an ideal characterization of the young Am erican who is torn between infatua- ton for one of another race and love of a girl of his own kind.
 Conchita Montenegro, as the lit tie South Sea island siren who lures Howard away from his own race with her native wiles, seems to be a living part of the islands.
 Looks Like Real Native
 Her slight accent, coal black hair and flashing black eyes, coupled with her sinuous dancing, leave the impression that here is a real na- tive of the South Seas.
 Others in the cast are c. Au3- rey Smith, Karen Morley, Mitchell Lewis, Hale Hamilton, Clyde Cook. Bob Gilbert, Joan Standing and Eulalie Jensen.
 The Devils Cabaret
 "The Devils Cabaret" with the sprightly Eddie Buzzell as chief funmaker, is a satire on life in the internal regions. Burrell plays the star salesman of His Satanic Maj esty, conducting a Go to Hades' drive. Catherine Moylan, Charles B. Middleton, Mary Carlisle and the Albertina Rasch Ballet are in the cast.

By ANNE PATTEN

Smart society in this country
and abroad is all agog over the
news of the marriage in New
York yesterday of the former
Mrs. Jean Banks Gimbernat to
Henry Pelham Clinton Hope,
Earl of Lincoln, and eldest son
and heir of the Duke of New
castle.
No hint of their romance and
plans to wed had been per-
mitted to leak out, and their
friends on both sides of the At
lantic were totally unprepared
for the announcement of their
marriage.
Visited the Capital
Capital society, especially, was
interested in the news, as the
youthful British nobleman's
young sister, the former Lady
Doria Hope, was visitor here
not less than a year ago. She
was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederic H. Brooke, the latter's
daughter, Mrs. Charles Parker
Stone, being a close chum of
the young lady's.
Lady Doria made the front
page of practically every news
paper in the country when she
was discovered working as a
c..opgirl in a New York depart
ment store following her visit
in Washington.
Lord Hopes Romance
Her visit to this country called
forth columns of newspaper sto-
ries recalling the romance of
her father, the former Lord
Francis Hope, now Duke of
Newcastle, with May Yohe. 1t
was while she was Lady Hope
that Miss Yohe owned the ia
nous Hope diamond, now in the
possession of Mrs. Edward B.
Mclean. 1t was to the evil in
fluence of this ill-starred gem
that Miss Yohe laid the disas-
trouS end of her marriage to
Lord Francis.
The new Countess of Lincoln,
who will one day take her place
