 The only time that partner may pass an original suit bid of one is when holding less than the strength outlined in yesterdays article as being required for a de- nial bid of one no trump. There fore is must at all times be as- stunned when partner responds to an original bid withone no trump, that his hand is very weak, and the bid must be treated as a sign off bid.
 There are times, however. that partner may hold 1-2 to two high-card tricks. no biddable suit and not normal support in. the original bidders suit, and therefore the only response that can be made is one no trump. This strength may be shown on the second round of bidding, however.
 Replying to an original suit bid of one with a bid of two no trump is one of teh most important bids in the one over one system.
 In the previous articles I have explained to you that an original bid of one no trump showed a very fine hand, but hand that should be led up to rather than through. I also explained that an original suit bid of one showed a hand that, while holding considerable strength, was not flexible enough to become the declarer at no trump unless later bidding might fill in the side suits.
 It is most important at contract bridge to have the correct hand play the hand at no trumps. There fore, when holding hand con- taining 1-2 to three high-card tricks, with etnace positions in at least two of the side suits. and one honor in the original bidders

cult, partners best response is. us- ually two no trump.
 This is a forcing bid and in no way denies support for the origi- nal bidders suit. We find at times that a response of two no trump must be made without an honor in the original bidders suit; but it should not be made without at least two small cards in that suit. and the hand should have extra compensating side strength.
 All of the other three suits should be we'll stopped. As a mat ter of fact it should be in these side suits that partner is plan- ming to win the tricks at no trump.
 After a response of two no trump by partner, the original bidder is now in a position either to re-bid his suit, which thereby shows length in that suit and no desire to play the hand at no trump, or he may surrender his suit and may carry the contract to three no trump.
 The original bidder has third choice-he may show second suit, in which case 1t generally pays for partner to select one of the two suits for the game-going contract. A two-suit hand is usu- ally not adapted to no trump play.
 However, when the bidding gets up into the slam zone, two- suit hands usually facilitate the play for slanm no trumps. This, of course, is due to the fact that both hands are strong in high card tricks. and these suits are usu- ally solid.
 A bid of three no trump over an original suit bid of one shows tremendous strength, and is slam invitation bid. It should be made with a hand containing three and one-half to four high-card tricks, c very suit stopped, and with ab- solute command in at least two suits.
 Summing up today's responses we find:
 I. A response of one no trump may show a cery weak hand.
 2. A response of two no trump does not deny support and is a forcing bid. and is made to show a hand which may gain the trick by puaying the hand at no trump.
 3. A response of three no trump is slam invitation.

NEW. YORK, Nov. 16 QNS0.
Despite an easier tone in grain
and security markets, cotton fu-
lures maintained a firm front to-
day while the run of contracts
registering gains of slightly under
so cents a bale.
Trading was only moderately
active, with the constructive
forces overShadowing sellers. The
consumption figures of the Gen.
Sus Bureau, an unfavorable fore
cast, the freezing temperatures Of
the past few days in the belt and
the favorable view taken in many
quarters of probable reconsidera-
ton of the war debts, acted as q
spur to the market today. Practi-
cally these same factors failed to
stimulate much interest in yes
terday's trading affair.
The Census Bureau report
placed consumption of cotton in
this country during October at
5O2,244 bales, against 491,655 in
OSRNSAAOCA d1lu TO4 ,V1O III OCLOD6Ts
1881. For the three months ended
October 81, consumption totaled
1,396,500 bales against 1,350,388
for the same period last year.
Fair to cloudy and warmer

peratures, was forecast in the
East for last night and today.

was indicated over most of the
central belt. Snow in Northern
Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma

forecast, with fair to cloudy in

AT noon, futures were up 4 to
points. with December up 4 at
$6.32, January up at $3.50.
March up 4 at $6.48, May UP at

Coal production was lower, as
was to have been expected after
such a sharp squirt earlier in the
fall.
Textiles and Shoes
So it is with textiles and shoes.
The figures just RELEASED by the
Cotton Textile Merchants ASSo-
citation for October are unfavor-
able. While stocks of goods re.
main low. they increased, and the
untitled orders were off sharply.

sonal variation).
Orders for lumber continued to
decrease and production has be-
gun to exceed sales again.
Despite artificial control over
production, the oil industry is in
much confusion and refinery gas
oline prices have been declining
for two weeks.
Reports concerning the steel in
dHStry are conflicting, but it seems
pretty clear that seasonal let
down has begun. Lettings of
structural steel were extremely
small last week. 1t is now quite
evident that mere Government
loans to insOlvent railways are not
going to bring much steel buying.
Finally, retail trade seems to
have faltered in October, and thus
far in November current trade re-
ports indicate a declining trend.
Near Critical Point
In studying business as we'll as
the stock market, we should re-
gard the position as now being at
a critical point. If the current or
recent rally is to go ahead to
much higher levels, it should show
the stuff Of which it is made by
some real strength right here.
But if more-than-Seasonal or more
than-technical reactions come now,
we must prepare for further diff
cultieS.
1t is the part Of wisdom to be
hopeful and at the same time
cautious. Possibilities of recovery
exist, but there are some dangers
and difficulties to be overcome.
1t is better to be right than
merely optimistic.

FAILURES SHOW
ANOTHERD|P

Failures, according to Brad
streets Weekly, continue to make
the best showing since 1929. The
week of November 10, with a
contra-seasonal decline, produced
only AIS defaults, % less than the
preceding week.
The adjusted index did even
better, falling from 1885 per cent
to 96.9 per cent of the 1928-3O
average. This is the lowest fig
ure recorded, with but one excep-
ton.
The high point of the index for
the depression was reached on
August 4 of this year, when it
stood at Ills. Since then it has
fallen almost steadily for IA
weeks, to bring it to its present
low point. No decline of this size
or length has been recorded in
the last three years.

The trends Important

These tips on United Aircraft
may be some crowd trying to
capitalize the spotlight thrown on
the aviation industry by the tight
for control of aviation Of Della
ware. From the professionals
point of view, though. aircraft IS
an Al trading medium, giving
plenty of action.
These who deplore lack OF
earnings are forgetful. Not so
long ago it was a big piece OF
news when New York Central
went into the black for the first
time in months; and it will be
a sred letter day when united
States Steel comes out on the
: right side of the ledger. From
Wall Streets point of view, It's
the trend that's important.
G. M. May Be In Black
Informed quarters say that
General Motors may be in the
black this quarter, contrary to
expectations.
The better showing will be due
largely to the way the corpora
tion reduced inventories this year.
Thus dealers can buy enough
cars to let motors break even,
though public buying may be
delayed.

Business conditions as revealed
by information received last
week, are much mixed. On the
whole I would say that the pre-
dominent trend Of late has been
a little reactionary. This has not
been sufficiently pronounced,
however, to have much effect on
sentiment"
Only those who had looked
for continuous expansion are
as yet much disappointed.
Favorable Developments
On the favorable side, the two
outstanding developments of the
week were the upturn in com
modify prices and the report
showing increased October EN-
ployment in New York State fac
tories.
OF course, the commodity rise
may be just one of those minor
rallies. And the employment
gain may mark the peak of the
fall rise. But these two facts
are for the present justly to be
considered as encouraging.
In speculative quarters, talk OF

ment of the Volstead act would
be of some benefit, but would not
be the great factor that some
people consider it.
Things to Remember

the number of employees affected

spend for beer they can't spend

AS to the election uncertainty

largely bunk. Our Fundamental

Probably the most striking and
significant of the unfav0rabIe
items is the decline in car hold.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 Q.N.S0
Better times are coming. The
scare has left the American
public. Haven't you noticed
the new spirit Of optimism and
hope since election day?"
M. E. Comerford, president of
the Comerford theater chain OF
film houses in Pennsylvania,
made these assertions in an inter.
view today.
He said he did not know, of
course, how soon business would
start surely on the road to re
covery. but he was optimistic.
Asked concerning the theater
business, he said that, with the
cold weather setting in, it is get
ting a little better and added:
81 see a slow but substantial
improvement"
Most of his sentiments were
echoed by Frank c. Walker, vice
president and general counc Il
for the Comerford theaters
Walker said:
II hope to see a slow but
steady improvement in busi-
ness. I feel that with the cleo
ton over, people will buckle
down to business better than
fear of a new administration
was q myth.
"The people know that Pres
identelect Roosevelt is a sound
man. His background and his
entire public career establishes
that fact. Why, the credit Of

basis than the government it
self"
