COTTON GAINS
GROW BIGGER

NEW YORK, April 8 G.N.S0 .
The cotton market continued firm
and moderately active in later
dealings with gains extended as
demand broadened and increased
foreign support came into the mar
ket.
Further poor crop weather re-
ports and firm foreign cables
aided the market considerably.
Liverpool, the Far East, and
the continent increased purchases
of the staple and from domestic
sources came trade and Wall
bStreet buying. Spot houses were
buying May, but sold moderately
in October. Commission house
offerings of the May option were
we'll enough absorbed by spot
house and trade buying. Locals
and the South were selling gen.
orally.
Intensification of the too dry
conditions in the western portion
of the cotton belt and Of the ex.
ceSSive moisture in the East con-
tinueS a bouyant factor in the
market. In the West, in many
parts Of Texas, dry seeding has
been accomplished, but moisture is
necessary for termination. In
other places even seeding has been
delayed.
Toward noon the market was
firm. May was quoted at 11.30
up 8, July 11.00 up 6, october
1898 up 8 and December 1898 up
points.

BANKER RAPS
GOVERNMENT
ACTIVITIES

CLEVELAND, April 8.-Removal
Of all things which do not proper.
ly belong" in the sphere Of Gov
ernment action from that sphere,
was urged yesterday by James p.
Warburg, New York banker and
New Deal critic.
In his address prepared for de-
livery before the Cleveland Cham
ber Of Commerce, Warburg said
these things either exceed the
powers given to our Federal Gov
ernment under the Constitution,
or are objectives which no gov
ernment can reasonably hope to
attain.
Warburg also advocated the de-
velopment Of principles and pol
icies to aid in gradually attaining
those objectives which properly
lie within the sphere Of Govern
ment action.
He said that If one sees motor
bus full Of passengers going at a
furious pace straight toward a
precipice, ones natural impulse is
to yell a warning and rush out
waving whatever one can lay ones
hand on to attract the drivers at
tention. Warburg added:
zone does not under those cir
cumstances get out the auto
mobile blue book in order to
point out to the driver where he
took the wrong turning some
miles back and which is the
road he should have taken.
"At this moment, however, it
would appear that there are
plenty of people yelling warn
ings and waving flags.
"The car has not changed its
direction, but 1t has stopped for
the moment.
1--WE now know that the driver
has heard the warning and we
can see him sitting at the wheel
laughing at the people who have
come running from all directions
to wcrn him about the danger
ahead.
Apparently he is convinced
that he is not on the wrong road
and that all these excited people
have just imagined the danger"
In reviewing the situation which
prevailed when President Roose-
velt took office, Warburg said:
"NO one will deny that Mr..
Roosevelt showed courage.
Few would claim-and am
not one Of the few-that they
would have acted more wisely
under tho same circumstances.
But that is not the point here
ut was after the most critical
moments were over that MIR.
Roosevelt began to- veer away
from the principles for which he
had stOo and upon which he
had been elected"

RUBBER, STEEL
SHARES IN
DEMAND
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, April 8 G.N.S0.
An active demand for rubbers and
steels brought a broad advance in
the stock market today. Virtually
all groups participated in the up
swing.
U. s. Steel Spurted more than
2 points to above 72, the best price
since 1881, while Bethlehem also
set new high on a runup of close
to 2 points. Republic Steel was
turned over in heavy volume and
climbed a point.
u. s. Rubber common and pre-
terred turned in spectacular per
formances, both jumping into new
high grounds or runups of 3 and
4 points, respectively. Goodrich
and Goodyear were active on the
upside.

good. and it says great deal for the
picture that it remains excellent movie
fare in spite Of the orchestral handicap.
When Robert Taylor first came to
Hollywood, he was told by Samuel
Goldwyn he was too thin to be any
good as a screen actor. Bob took the
advice to heart, fattened up and was
signed-by M-G-M. In his new con-
tract with that studio, Taylor will
earn $1,000,000 over the next seven
