It is not improbable that v 30 cents will be reacnea Deiore we begin figuring on the 1923 acreage v or commence calculating the number of boll weevil to the square. ^ Notwithstanding the pressure from profit taking sales the market has s shown strength and has rallied sharp- n ly after each moderate setback. It ^ / has been a good trading market for those who have followed it closely 0 and have accepted our advices. As ^ the holders of contracts have liqui- s dated and taken profits there has > been somewhat of a falling off in ^ new purchasing, possibly because . . trade interests have shown a dispo- t sition to take the staple before the a reaction had proceeded far enough r to satisfy the technical market ideas \ d of the professional trader. A rise of r: $20 a bale in less than a month appears to demand a recession of more b than $1.50 or $2 a bale, and the pro- r fessional has waited?vainly?for h , what he is pleased to term , "a fair- v sized reaction." a l V The size of the crop is not yet ac- v cUrately determinable, although esti- r mates of Jess than 10,000,000 bales t predominate. We do not believe that a th%_forecasts that it will be about 9,000,000 will be borne out by the b actual figures, but there undoubtedly v will prove to be less than the 10,000,000 that was regarded as mini\ mum only a few weeks since. Much has been made of the , ad- t vances in the prices of cotton goods h and the inability of mills to obtain d sufficient cotton to last them through a to the next crop. But it must be re- s membered that the demands and con- r sumption of cotton in recent months t have been based on 20 to 23 cent si cotton and that it is doubtful how far the public demand will last if i' cotton manufacturers move beyond b ' the 25-cent basis. This factor has not ft been taken very much into consider- h ation, but it is a big one. There is tl always a level at which price checks consumption. It depends not so much v on the comparative price of the com- ii _ -L JZ?T X ?. ?: ~ ~ ? a.1 moaiiy at uiuereub periuus, uut, uii n the Tatio between the price of the commodity and the general price lev- f el. The general price level?the in- tl dex number?has shown a rising tendency. Somewhere between 25 cents t< and 30 cents for cotton?judging b from present conditions?a check, v whether temporary or not is to be j, seen later, will be administered to j g the price of cotton. - ? That is one reason we suggest cau- e tion, even while confident that the v nriee of cotton is coiner to ?0 -a through 25 cents and may advance e, to 3.0 cents. We suggest that advant- p age be taken of recessions below 24 0 cents for the taking on of January a to May contracts, but would advise the taking of moderate profits with j a view to repurchases. j Nov. 2, 1922.

It was forty feet wide and ie ninety feet long. The decorations 3f were of the Louis XV period. It was tll modeled after one of the old manle sions of Paris of the grand period of .j_ architecture during the Imperial rule This monster room furnished the set;(j ting for one of the most colorful s_ scenes of the picture. More than 200 d, extra people were used in the scene, which depicted a reception given fcy rs the "Duchess" to the notables of m Paris. Betty Compson, as Coralyn, a famous danseuse, does a dance called a the "the death of an Amazort warie rior," in the scene. For bizarre effect m this scene strikes a high keynote in A motion picture production. The clia. max of the scene is the crashing to 2e the floor of a jeweled can^elier. ie 12 ESTATE OF H. W.
