FAMOUS PLUNGERS
BACK IN MARKETS
Livermore Reported Active
in Cotton-HoWeII Is
Linked to Wheat.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, July 10.-Responding
to the magnetic effect of soaring COM
modify prices. some famous cotton and
wheat plungers of another day were
reported in Wall Street today to have
returned to the scenes of earlier
triumplS.
The name of Jesse Livermore, listed
in the Streets speculative annals as
one of the most daring operators Of
his day. was heard in many board
room conversations during the recent
Skyrocket advance in cotton prices.
Another trading veteran whose
name figured in the gossip-ThomaS
Howell, Chicago operator-was said
to have been active in the grain pit
during the sensational advance in
wheat.
LivermOre Is Silent.
Stories of the Livermore comeback
implied long dealings. although some
quarters were Skeptical. Brokers sup
poSedly in the know said there were
indications that Livermore had taken
on a substantial line of cotton at
lower prices.
A reporter found Livermore in a
Well-guarded Office of downtown sky
scraper. He refused to affirm or deny
his rumored dealings in cotton. One
of the reports said he took over at
least $4,000 bales of October futures
sold by the Government-supported
producers pool
Livermore, Howell and other big
traders of the 1920's have not been in
the public eye much since the 1929
collapse.
Nivermore was reported to have
turned to commodities long before the
stock market debacle.
Switched to Stocks.
Howell originally a grain trader,
switched to stocks during the bull
period, and gossip pointed to him as
one of the most successful of that
company of operators which included
the late Arthur E. Cutten, M. ]. Nee
han, John j. Raskob, the Fisher
Brothers of Detroit and others.
Meanwhile, Wall Street observers
wondered what effect the new Federal
commodity exchange regulations law
would have upon activities of big-time
traders Among other restrictions it
permits the Government to fix limits
upon the amount of staples an oper-
ator could carry in speculative mar
kets, including cotton.

to moderinize the heating equipment,
your decision probably will be based
largely on the type of plant already
installed-the old outfit put in when
the building was built. In the event
your house has hot-air furnace,
you will probably want to fix it up
if possible 50 that it will deliver heat
to every portion of the home instead
of favoring one part. as most of them
do. This can be done quite simply
by attaching a forced air blower
driven by an electric motor. which not
only sends a stream of warm air all
over the house, but will also filter and
humidity if desired. Heating plants
of this type can oftentimes be reno
waited so that they will compare fa-
yorably with modern devices of the
same sort which are now on the
market.
On the other hand, some heating
contractors will advocate the COM
