Spectators complain that it is I'M
possible "to catch the move" and
that. after commission and taxes are
paid. the best one can hope for is TO
come out even. Brokers are dis
couraged because of the lack Of busi-
ness.
Nevertheless, through 1t all. Wall
Street is more bullish than bearish.
Sometimes the labor situation is
blamed for the indeciSion and some
times something else, but hope per-

A great deal of the trouble of these
old-time spectators is that they miss
the signs of manipulation on which
they used to rely.
They cannot understand. at least
yet that stocks may be bought be-
cause the buyers want to own them
They always have been led to believe
that stocks were bought so that the
price would advance and enable the
buyers to sell them to some one else
at a profit. So now. when they see
a stock slowly creeping up, they re-
fuse to be interested unless and until
some one will tell them that so and
so is operating in that particular
stock. No one tells them that, at
least for quotation, with the new regu-
latory law to take effect in less than

anywhere from to per cent on the
money it takes to buy them and repre-
Senting corporations in a position to
continue dividends at the present rate,
never go down very far and, over a
period of time, gain ground. The gain
is not large, but it is retained.
How much of the longer recovery
in our stock market is to be ascribed
to inf1ationary influences and how
much to natural factors is a matter
for debate.

NEW YORK. June l6.-Nervousness
over the crop outlook combined with
the recent improvement in the de-
mand for cotton goods and a con-
tinued relative scarcity of contracts
have been reflected by further ad-
vances in cotton during the last week
After selling up to l245 for Oc-
tober during Wednesdays trading. or
so points above the low level of the
previous week. prices reacted under
realizing and a little more South
ern selling, but offerings were alb
Sorbed on declines of some 30 to
35 points and the market was steady
toward the end of the week on ap-
prehensions that a gulf disturbance
might work up into the belt with a
continuance of dry weather in
droughty sections of the Southwest.
October rallied from 1910 to 1925
during yesterdays trading and closed
at 1918 last night, compared with
1920 at the close of the previous
Friday.
The markets sensitiveneSs to un-
favorable crop reports is naturally
increased by the curtailment of the
area to be planted under the crop
control program.
No fresh light has been thrown
upon the probable acreage remaining
under cultivation. but the trade Is
still talking a probable area ranging
from 81 to 29 million acres. Mean
while. there have been complaints of
sappy plants. retarded cultivation and
increasing weevil infestation from
Eastern belt section following recent
rains. and wet weather has also pro-
NOTED boil weevil infestation in some
Central belt sections
Some rains have occurred in North
east Texas and East Oklahoma, but no
relief from drought has been reported
in the sections where moisture was
most needed. and while the Texas
crop is said to be holding up fairly
we'll, growth has been retarded. with
soaking rains needed.
Business in cotton goods was stimu-
lated during the early part of the
week by the advance in raw cotton
and is said to have been in excess of
current production.

cessfully will reduce to the political
status of the Negro all the white people
of Louisiana who oppose Der Kingflsh.
Semmes Walmsley, the mayor Of New
Orleans, has arrived at this interest
ing conclusion as he considers the full
effect of the dictatorship laws adopted
by Huey's Legislature in last weeks
special session. The Negro long ago
learned that he has no right to vote

him. And he can buy SUFFICIENT votes

Court Victory Seen.
Mr. Walmsley suspects the citizens
of Louisiana who oppose the dictator
ship will be much upset to discover
themselves on political parity with
their colored neighbors. He thinks the
dictatorship will be beaten in court.
Otherwise there will be fighting in the
streets with guns, because the mayor
is convinced the citizens on his side
will take firm steps to defend their
citizenship and their right to punish
people who kill or mutilate them.
1t gets more interesting down here.
