He had become fascinated by the
songs,-had decided to transpose
their plaintive, simple beauty into
orchestral music.
"St. Louis Blues" was first scrib.
bled on a cigar box. Handy had
planned to publish the work on his
own account and wanted 10000
copies. which would cost $100. But
he had only $40 in cash. After some
search he found a printer in Gin
cinnati to turn out the copies on the
strength of $40 deposit. He sold
the original shipment of 1000 copies
at five cents each within a few days
after their arrival, which gave him
enough cash to pay for the rest of
the order. =
Enlarging his publishing activi-
ties, he formed partnership with
one Pace. an official in Memphis
bank. Confident he had something
out of the ordinary in music, Handy
sought to interest the phonograph
companies. But the recording rajahs
OF that period could see nothing in
st. Louis Blues" They told him
blues was fad that would soon die.
1t was long uphill battle for
Handy. Eventually, several blues
singers used it in their acts and
little by little it began to gain rec.
ognition. 1t was not long before it
was sweeping the country. Up to
this year more than million copies
OF the piece have been sold. 1t holds
the record for recordings, its total
"ales in this field exceeding 100000.

"Beale Street Blues" and other

Now, nearly q quarter of a CEN

has been completed after five years
work, and the plaintive negro mel

Handy continues to win honors
for the work. Recently the St.

National Association of Negro Mu-

for his composition. Handy is a,

Handy, a native of Florence, Ala

COTTON QUIET

Strength in foreign markets
steadied cotton futures at the
opening today, and kept them
irregularly higher through morn
ing trading.
The market was quiet, a moder-
ate amount of realizing on yeSter-
days rise providing enough offer
ingS to depress some contracts
slightly after the call. Scattered
rains were reported overnight,
most of them beneficial to the
crop.
There was fair trade demand
and buying by Liverpool and the
Far East. The South and New
Orleans sold moderately.
The official Cotton Belt weather
map was generally cloudy, parts
of the Eastern third of the belt had
fair weather.
RumorS that the Commodity
Credit Corporation was consider
ing altering release differentials
on the lower grades of cotton at
the end of the month in order to
make it profitable for farmers to
redeem their loans were denied by
RFC Chairman Jones, who said
that no policy had been decided
for the near future.

a point and Great Atlantic almost
2 points. Technicolor erased an

Fractional advances character
lied the mining shares although
