COTTON PRICES
ARE HIGHER

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 dN.sJ.
The New York cotton market
made emphatic response to the
favorable batch of weekend de-
velopmentS in active trading to-
day, and while the initial adj
vanceS Of 50 a bale were somewhat
shorn off as the trading pro-
crossed, the list in general main
tanned a buoyant undertone for
the greater part Of the session.
OF prime importance to the
trade was the perfection of plan
to keep at least 100000 bales Of
cotton off the market for a year
to help stabilize the price.
Other factors responsible for
the improved sentiment in the
trade were publication Of the
Standard Cloth Statistics, which
were better than expected, and an
increase in domestic cotton cloth
consumption as shown by the COT
ton exchange estimate.
At midday, october was up %
points at sos; December up a..
at 6.18; January up "a, at 6.28;
March up 26, at CAT: May up rs,
at $3.50, nd July up 80, at 6.S6.

DOLLAR VAL UE
Of OLD POLICY
INCREASED
Worth 10 Per Cent MoreThan
Two Years Ago, But Still
Few Have Enough, Claim
BY FRANK F. LOOMS


Although the dollars constitut-
ing the cash value of life insur.
ance are worth now approximately
10 per cent more than two years
ago, not one in 80 life insurance
policyholders is adequately pro-
tected at the present level Of
prices, according to Prof. William
B. Bailey, economist Of the Trav-
elerS Insurance Company, in an
address before the American Life
Convention in Pittsburgh last
week.
One Of the reasons frequently
given for the great increase in the
volume Of life insurance pur.
chased during the years 1918 to
1928, Prof. Bailey explained, was
the decrease in the purchasing
power Of the dollar. He added
that many persons are asking
now whether life insurance sales
are apt to decrease by the in.
crease in the value Of the dollar.
Few Adequately Insured
If every man had sufficient life
insurance to assure his family a
comfortable income at the 1923
scale of prices, he asserted, t. is
true that this income would pro-
vide a more comfortable standard
Of living at the present prices. But
not one life insurance policyholder
in 100 was adequately protected
at the old higher level of prices.
Not one in 80 is adequately in
sured at the present level Of
prices.
In spite Of the 100 billion dol
lars Of life insurance in force, the
American public was so under.
insured in 1929 that the cost
of living could drop to one-half of
the 1929 levels and still a huge
additional volume of life insur.
ance would be needed, he said.
If man is going to weigh the ad-
vantageS of depending in his old
age for the protection of his fam.
lily at his death, or for his own
support during the last years CT
his life, upon the return from
ordinary business investments
rathed than the proceeds Of in
Surance policies, three questions
must be answered in the affirma-
tive.
Questions to Answer
First, he must assure himself
that he will save his money as
regularly in order to invest it as
he will to meet the premiums on
his life insurance policies. Sec
ond, he must be confident that he
can select his own investments as
wisely as the treasurer of an in
surance company. Third, he must
be confident in his own mind
that he will reach the expected
age at death of those in his age
group.
Unless a man Is prepared to
answer all three Of these questions
in the affirmative, enough life in
surance should be carried to meet
the requirement Of later years.
Life insurance companies are in
the business to give practical
answers to the three questions,
and in a much more satisfactory
manner than the average indi-
vidual can ever hope to answer
them for himself.

PTCHNOND .JRS. ROLL HERE iSJ!NDA Y
DUE
BOUT WITH
MAKE
BY JACK DEMPSEY

Jack Sharkey's great showing
against Primo Camera puts MIN
back to ranking as the ace OF
American heavies and, as I see It,
entities him to another crack at
Max Schmeling.
Jack always was a great ring
man. He had everything that
was needed for greatness when I
met him in 1927-except expert
ence. I whipped him that night
because I knew more about what
to do when in difficulties than
he knew about how to finish a
man who was wobbling.
Best Was Draw
Four years have passed since
then, Jack has had plenty OF
hard fights and has met the best.
He has turned in only one poor
showing.
That was his unexplainable
fight with Mickey Walker. Mickey
is a tough kid. game to the core.
etc, but few reckoned him in a
class with Sharkey. Yet the best
Sharkey could get that night was
a draw.
Opinions Differed
Opinions of ringside experts
differed. Some felt that Mickey
really had shaded Sharkey and
should have been given the YER
dict. Others scored II. IL and,
in some cases, 13 out OF the Is
for Sharkey.
Killed Notion
After the Walker fight, quite q
few figured that Sharkey was
through. But he killed off such a
notion by his great work against
Camera. True, Primo is no eX
perienced ringman and, for long
time, many were inclined to call
him a bum"
Against Sharkey he was greatly
improved and his superior height,
weight, reach and strength made
it tough for Sharkey to get in
side through most of the early
rounds.
After that, Jack showed that
he still has speed, skill and the
sock. He caused many to believe
that he is better today than
when he mixed it with Schmeling
in 1880. All of this places him
back on top in the U. S. A. and
Sharkey is the man, according to
present reckoning, that Schmeling
must whip to prove his su-
premacy.
