COTTON Trend
IS UPWARD

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 GNS0.
The cotton market ruled steady
throughout the first half Of to-
days session. with the trend
slightly upward for the greater
part Of the time, and gains
ranging from to 4 points evil
denced at the noon hour.
Futures were practically I'M
changed at the opening, with the
trade absorbing all of the Offer
ings which consisted largely Of
hedge selling. Later in the day
hedge selling showed a dispoSi-
ton to dry up, with buying de-
mand coming in from commission
houses, professionals and Wall
Street in the distant months.
Textile reports were rather
featureless. An easier tone was
indicated in the domestic mar
ket and while firm to hardening
conditions developed in Lanca-
shire for yarns and cloths, it
was not indicated that business
was as large as it has been.
The Liverpool imports were sub
stantial yesterday, amounting to
$4,000 bales, Of which 10000
were American cotton. .,
At midday, December was up
4 points at 6.64, January was
up 2 at 6.68; March up 3 at
6.82; May up at TOO and July
up 2 at 7.19.

EXPORTS DIP

PARIS, Oct. 30.-Although no
figures are available as to the
size of the Russian wheat crop,
owing to the late threshing, esti-
mates range under the record
1880 figure of 1,094,00O, 900
bushels, despite bigger Sowings.
The late threshing and higher
internal consumption is held re-
sponsible for present small ship
ments contrasting with the heavy
ones during the past three
months. Private estimates place
probable cereal exports to July
next so per cent below those Of
the last IL months.
Winter sowingS of wheat are
now we'll advanced to 37,00O,0OO

MARKET READY
FOR HOP, SAYS
SPECTATOR
Everything Set for Advance
of Genuine and Sustained
Importance, Expert Holds
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The
market outlook has frightened
considerably as a result Of the
strong resistance shown by lead
ing stocks in yesterdays session.
The comeback Of the rail
group was particularly encourag-
ing and the decision Of the direc-
tors Of Bethlehem Steel to con-
tinue the common dividend gives
constructive interests definite
working argument for higher
price levels.
Genuine Upturn Due
With earnings reports Of lead
ing rail system and industrial
corporations out Of the way for a
time, with Congress not Sched-
uled to assemble for upwards of
q month, and with the market
in a thoroughly liquidated posi-
ton, the groundwork Is present
for a genuinely important ad-
vance Of sustained character.
Reports indicate that news Of
q constructive chara3Ler will
shortly be forthcoming on the
railroad situation. It Is believed
the Interstate Commerce CcmmiS.
sion will favor the plan Of the
carriers to loan the .'enefits Of
the increased rates to weaker
systems rather than give the
funds outright, as was originally
decided upon by the I. C. c.
Benefit Estimates
In the belief that this plan
shortly will be put into effect, a
statistical service has estimated
the increase in per share earn
ingS of leading roads Lad the
increase been in effect through
out 1881.
AtchiSon would receive net Of
1924 a common share; Baltimore
and Ohio, $2.22; Chesapeake and

WATT AND WATCH.
IS ADVICE Of
HANEY
Dangers of Initiation Still
Too Imminent for Shorts,
and Wise Bulls Are Timid
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University
D,,,oo- - nu.S,n~.. Dn-oo-nI>

Director New York University
Bureau Of Business Research
The big question remains q
question. If traders were sure
Cd that we are going to plunge
into a wave of initiation and
new debts, and 90 that this
wave of debt and initiation would
actually take effect, they would
be buying stocks right and left.
The action of the market
shows that there are still doubts.
There is still little hope that
our leaders will not have the
nerve to do the thing-that they
will remember the past results
Of trying to get out Of debt by
more debt.
Bonds Give Warning
The action of government bonds
is a warning of the difficulty.
Their weakness shows how hard
it would be for the Government
to force the banks to take more
loans.
Moreover, the rise in money
rates is another warning. If we
plunge into initiation again money
rates will go higher and higher.
We all know what the ultimate
outcome would be.
Another Immediately practical
point is that the pools know that
they cannot get the often-rooked
public" to take hold. They are
very timid and have shown no
aggressive support for their "fa-
vorites."
Now the market has thrice
knocked at an upper resistance
level without making an opening.
It is back near the lower resist
ance Of october IA.
Wise To Wait
The only wise course is to
await the action of the market.
If it now falls through it will
strongly indicate that deflation
is not over.
While awaiting the moves Of
the inflationists at Washington
it will be we'll to take a trading
attitude. If you insist on gam
bling in stocks, buy on recess
sions, and take small profits. II
you are an investor, wait.
Don't buy Government bonds,
or any "high grade" bonds.
Don't go short of stocks. There
is still too much danger Of in.
flation.

home in any outdoor setting. It's
particularly good set in among the
trees.
For the modern minded, tubu-
lar metal furniture combined with
cane goes just as well and just as
durably outdoors as it does on the
sun porch.
In either bright shiny chromium
or painted in colors, it bring the
modern feeling into the garden, no
matter how fashioned the flow
erS may be.
Green Is Smart Color
Green, of course, Is natural and
fashionable outdoor furniture color.
Brilliant orange, red or yellow with
black touches are often combined
with green. When there are stripes,
they're big and bold. And flowers
on coverings are large and vivid.
But the ensemble principle ap-
plies to outdoor as well as indoor
furniture. And the most fashion,
able settings are. made from furni-
ture pieces that harmonic in color
and material.

Just
Every
Day
Sense
MADAME LUCIE DELARUE-
WI MARDRUS. Frenchwoman,

MADAME LUCIE DELARUE-
1V1 MARDRUS, Frenchwoman,
is coming over to lecture to us,
says The Rocky Mountain News of
Denver. She is an ardent anti
feminist, which is rather fashion
able these days.
Madame Lucie contends that by
getting the vote we women gave
up kingdom for something very
much lower. She speaks of that
mythical power behind the throne
of which we have all heard, and
says that before we had suffrage
the American woman was loved,
honored and praised.
It strikes me as a little silly to
insist that just because women
have few political rights, they
no longer shall be praised or hon
ored or loved. What in the deuce
were we praised and honored for
anyway? Our lack of business or
political knowledge? Are we to be
loved only by the measure of our
ignorance?
= -
THERE'S no particular sense in
l. taking the attitude that
women are nobler or more SEN
Sible than men, but by the same
argument there's no sense in say
ing they are less so. And this
power behind the throne was of
no great help to the average lady.
History proves that it was usual
1y the courtesans who got much
benefit out of that theory.
And what, pray, was this king
dom we gave up for our rights?
The kingdom of the kitchen,
maybe, from whose narrow door
many wistful wife looked hope
lesSly toward the unattainable.
Or it may have been the kingdom
of old maids, whose barren walls
held the unmarried women in
bondage and echoed to the lamen-
tations of unsung martyrs.
Mayhap it was the kingdom of
the slave, where dwelt those whose
ambitions were slain, whose de-
sires were huShed, and whose
dreams were frustrated. 1t may
have been a safe realm, but it was
Singularly dreary one also.
And it was kingdom whence
ladies like Madame Lucie would
not be permitted to go forth on
lecture tours.
