N. 0. COTTON
IS TWO-SIDED
Prices Advance $1 a
Bales But Slip
Off Later
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 25.—<*■)—
The cotton market was two-sided In
early trading today advancing ap-
proximately $1 a bale when the cen-
sus bureau’s ginnings total proved
■mailer than expected but losing the
gain on profit-taking attracted by
the higher prices.
The opening was easy In sympathy
with lower Liverpool cables than
due and October the first month
called showed a loss of 5 points
compared with yesterday’s close. At
this juncture the census bureau's
report was issued placing the total
ginnings to October 18 at 8147301
bales wliich proved smaller than
most traders lor' ed for. On the call
later positions showed gains ranging
from 6 to 20 points and the mar-
ket continued upward for a tinu
»fter the start until December
traded at 19.18. January 19.20 ard
March 19.18 or 18 to 20 points net
up.
The Improvement met realising
however and prices declined iharp-
ly December selling off to 18.91
January 18.93 and March 17.87 or
27 to 31 points under the top and
9 points below yesterday’s close.
W’hen the profit-taking was absorb-
ed the market steadied ar.d prices
rallied a few points from the lowest.
Later in the morning there was
some additional realizing as well as
liquidation by the long interests.
Prices made new lows with Decem-
ber at 18.85 January 18.87 and
March 18.83 or 33 to 35 points down
from the highs and 13 to 15 points
under the previous close. When the
offerings were absorbed the market
rallied on trade buying on scale
down orders and at noon prices were
11 to 12 points above the lows and
to within 2 to 4 points of yesterday's
close.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK. Oct. 25.—«JP>—'The
cotton market opened firm at an rjd-
vance of 5 to 18 points with De-
cember and later deliveries selling
about 14 to 23 points net higher di r
ing the first few minutes on trade
buying and covering. The latter
was probably promoted by slightly
lower ginning figures than suggest
ed by some of the recent reports
but the advance to 19.80 for Decem-
ber and 19.64 for March met a good
deal of realizing or liquidatirn and
considerable southern selling. This
soon eased the market off to 19.59
for December or about 4 to 5
points below yesterday’s closing quo
tatior.s and the market was rather
rervous and irregular at the end
of the first half hour. October con-
tracts sold off to 19.74 or 6 point*
net lower under liquidation attribut-
ed to the circulation of notices rep-
resenting about 5400 bales.
The final liquidation of October
eontracts sent the price about 25
points below December with October
selling off to 19.20. The weakness
of the near position had an un-
settling effect on the general list.
December declined to 19.45 and
March to 19.40. makirg net declines
of about 8 to 12 points on the mere
active positions but after trading 1
ended in October at midday prices
steadied slightly on covering. Oc-
tober went cut at 19.28 to W.30
compared with 19.80 at the close
yesterday.

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.——A hea-
vy accumulation of over-night buy-
ing orders imparted a strong tone to i
the opening of today's stock market. ;
Sinclair which changed hands in tre- .
mendous volume yesterday opened i
with a block of 20.000 shares at 68 3-4
a new high record. RaRdio opened 3
points higher Continental Can and
Chrysler showed initial gains of 2
points and New York Central and
General Motors 1 3-4 and 1 point re-
spectively.
With the fears of a credit strin-
gency removed by the recent easing
of money rates and most of the cur-
rent earnings and trade reports fav-
orable in character operators for
the rise resumed their operations
with confidence.
Oils which have taken relatively
little part in the major upswing of
the last four years responded to re-
ports of improving trade conditions.
Atlantic Refining quickly moved up
6 1-2 points to a new high record at
238 and the new stock which was ad-
mitted to trading today opened with
a block of 5600 shares at 62 3-4.
Skelly and Sun oil moved into new
high ground.
Jordan Motors which is expected
to become part of a new motor com-
bination William C. Durant is re-
ported to have under negotiation
advanced 2 points to a new top at
16 3-8. Park & Tilford pointed high-
er on the announcement of the for-
mation of a nation-wide grocery
chain. Western Union ran up 5
points to 179 the highest price in
its history on buying influenced by
expectations that the White Act
would be repealed to permit a mer-
ger of wireless cable and telegraph
companies. The rise in Union Car-
bide to new high ground was based
on predictions of a stock split-up in
the near future.
Adams Express which established
a record high at 410 last week broke
20 points to 335. Briggs Manufac-
turing opened with a block of 10000
shares at 54 1-2 off 1-2.
Foreign exchanges opened steady.!
with Sterling cables unchanged at
$4.85.

Named In Indict-
ments; Vice and Cor-
ruption Charged

precinct captains in the Twenty-sev-
enth ward with filing a false affi-
davit. Investigators reported the af-
fidavit certified as voters 92 resi-
dents of a hotel whereas only 35
voters lived there.
Charges that Jack Hirsch a pav-
roller. ruled how many votes each
candidate should get resulted in the
naming of Hirsch Charles “Chick”
Hadesman Paul Dorfman and Sam
Koppel an assistant precinct cap-
tain in the second indictment. They
were charged with conspiracy to al-
ter republican ballots. The same
men were named in another con-
spiracy indictment charging them

Organization
Work Under Way
By Democrats
Good progress is being made in the
organization of every voting precinct
in the Brownsville commissioner dis-
trict in behalf of the democratic can-
didates was the report rendered
Wednesday afternoon at a meeting of
the various committees.
Special meetings of the publicity
and central committees were called
for Friday afternoon when definite
plans for their participation in the
campaign will be announced.
“We propose to have every voting
precinct thoroughly organized and
the Brownsville district will cast the
heaviest vote on record.'* was the
statement of J. T. Canales chairman.
“The interest indicated by the vari-
ous committees may be taken as an
index of the effort they will make to
get out the vote at the general elec-
tion.’*
Thirty-five men and women met
at the democratic headquarters Wed-
nesday afternoon to complete the
campaign program every voting pre-
cinct being represented by two or
more workers.
NEW YORK.—Autograph fans will
be pleased by the presidential elec-
tion whoever wins. A dealer says
that Hoover and Smith have written
many letters for years; that Harding
was rot especially prolific and that
Coolidge has been as economical of
ink as of speech.

REPRINTING BALLOT
DALLAS. Oct. 25.—(A*)—The Dallas

ed in order to make certain that
the amendments if passed could not
bo attacked in the courts.
Those Hooverites I
(By MRS. D. P. GAY. JR.) |
Of Those Hooverites those Hooverites they are fishing with E
poisoned bait S'
They have ministers in the Pulpit preaching bigotry and hate
It is Al's religion they are fighting as they lash with a lying
rod.
Shame on a party or a people when a man must deny his God.
The Catholics fought and bled for Old Glory and for Old Glory'a
sake they died.
The Catholics and the Baptists are buried side by side.
But the Catholic lad is fogotten buried in the ground of hate
But Democracy will always live in this big old Southern State.
C ome back misguided Democrats do not stray so far from home
Have you forgotten Fall and Sinclair and the famous T pot
dome \
Has no one ever told you of reconstruction time.
When just to be a Southern Democrat was the vilest kind of
crime. I
Has no one ever told you of the carpet bagger days
The sorrows and the heartaches of the boys who wore the greys
Are there no more gallant Southern Sons to once more bear
Dixi guns.
To go to the polls with a rebel shout ar.d put those Hooverites
to rout. |
So Boys come on let us give A1 a hand he seems a pretty
clean lad
S And if he fails us in every way he will yet be as good as we
had
To you whiskey-hating voters who have bolted to the other side
Y'ou had better have A1 for a groom than Mellon for a bride. i
Those Hooverites those Hooverites they never did look good
to me.
So I’ll vote my party’s ticket from A1 down through every
nominee. li
£ And I’ll proudly wear his emblems and float his banners high ft
l For a Democrat I was born and bred and that is the way I’ll die.
I am good at solving puzzles but this one has me crazy as a bat
How can you vote for Hoover and be a Texas Democrat
So get out from behind the smoke screen—quit talking wet and 1
! drouth I
’ Not even Al’s religion can break the solid South. &
