port showed.

dends declared for the half year

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associate Press.
NEW YORK, July 19.-Cotton
prices jumped nearly 50 a bale to-
day to the best levels since early
May, 1880.
Overnight announcement of an
upward revision in cotton goods
price ceilings brought wave of buy
ing orders from trade and mill in
tereSts.
The modified price ceilings, ac-
cording to cotton trade quarters,
were expected to release orders for
millions of yards of cloth.
Minor reactions on local and New
Orleans selling were quickly alb

Selected Stocks Up;
Others Remain in
Narrow Range
Many Leaders Unable
To Get Anywhere;
Dealings Slow
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, JULY 19.-Strength
of individual issues today helped the
stock market keep one foot on re-
covery territory.
While a number of favorites ad-
vanced fractions to a point or so,
some to new highs for the year,
many leaders merely went through
the motions and an assortment of
minus signs was in evidence at the
close,
Dealings weer relatively slack from
the start and transfers for the two
hours approximated $50 1000 shares.
There was the usual Saturday
scarcity of customers in boardrooms,
but most of those who refused to
call it a holiday were moderately
bullish so far as business was con-
cerned.
On the other hand brokers saw
persistent handicaps in the Nazi
sweep toward Moscow and the ques-
ton as to what the new japanese
cabinet would do in the matter of
its war policy. Thoughts of possible
drastic anti-inflation legislation at
home served as brake on senti-
ment.
Mild cheer was derived from pre-
dictions the House Ways and Means
Committee would stick to its own
excess profits tax proposals despite
administration insistence the Treas
t1y- fnrytNt,la nv tvr1
posts be substituted.
A hopeful straw was discerned in
the action of the Opacs in lifting
the ceiling on cotton print cloth
prices after strong protests from
the textile industry. 1t was inferred
more leniency might be accorded
other fields. Cotton futures shot up
more than 81 a bale to 11-year
peaks. Grains pointed forward.

A CHAPTER FROM
AN AMERICAN PRIMER

Twenty-seven years ago
yesterday World War | began.
Twenty~four years ago this
month first American troops
reached England.
See them in the picture above
They are being reviewed by
man and his wife.
The man is King George
The woman Is Queen Mary.
The Americans were jsunty and
proud that day.
Three months later some of them
were dead in France.
President Woodrow Wilson
then was talking of a League
of Nations.
He said the men pictured and
many more would make the league
possible by licking the Germans.
Last week Acting Secretary of
State Sumner Welles said a new
League of Nations was coming.
He said 1t would be possible as
soon as the Germans were licked
again.
When the picture above was
taken, Franklin Roosevelt was
assistant secretary OF our
navy.
Now he Is in Woodrow Wilson's
onetime place.
During Roosevelt's eight years
az president Wilson's league died.
Roosevelt has said American
soldiers will not fight again over
seas.
Wilson SAID that &c years ago.
He was wrong
Maybe Roosevelt is wrong. too.
