Wednesday COTTONIS STEADY INTRADING TODAY Easy Liverpool Cables Hold Prices Down—Freer Spot Offerings Reported. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 29.—The cotton market opened steady today at a decline of 3 points to an advance of 1 point, ‘active months showing net losses of about 2 to 4 points in early trading under Southern hedging and’ local selling, probably promoted by the relatively easy showing of the later cables from Liverpool. Talk of somewhat freer spot of- ferings in the South toward the end of last week and rumors of probable further tenders on December con- tracts here, were other factors in the decline, but offerings were not heavy and were absorbed by trade buying and covering. December eased off to 12.54 and March to 12.61, the market "holding within a point or two of these prices at the end of the first hour. Private cable) said hedge selling had neutralized month end calling in the Liverpool market. New Orleans Quofations. NEW ORLEANS, November 29.— The cotton market opened easy here today with Liverpool cables lower than due and weather reported fairly favorable over the belt. First trades showed losses of 2 to 5 points, and al- though prices rallied a few points after the start they soon eased off again. December traded down to 12.41, January to 12.43 and March to 12,64, or 4 to 6 points down from Saturday's close. Fear of a large Government crop estimate on Decem- ber 8 is causing liquidation.

Bi the Associated Press. PARIS, November 29.—Before the war full evening dress was proper at all opening night performances at Paris theaters. but the advent of uniforms got Frenchmen out of the habit of dressing in the evening. Even now most of them will don swallowtalls only when the presence of royalty or the President of the Republic ‘is announced. The rest of the time the dinner jacket is the limit. The national opera insists on_full dress for its male patrons on Mon- and Fridays. The other nights the dinner jacket is tolerated. and once in a while brazen American or British tourists are able to enter the French temple of music in ordinary street clothes, though not without audible protes The Opera Comique is more demo- cratic in its ways. vet the dinner jacket is expected in" the orchestra eats. The legitimate boulevard thea ters and music halls do not require evening dress. BARS FOR AIR LINERS.

HUGHES. Trading in “0dd Lots.” Suppose before we go any farther in this discussion of the usages of Wall Street and the technical terms descriptive of the stock market op- erations we explain buying and sell- ing of ‘“odd lots " so-called. The unit of trading on the New York Stock Exchange is 100 shares. The quotations as given in the tables of transactions printed in the news- papers are in dollars per share. For example, if United States Steel com- mon is quoted at 140, it means that the stock has changed hands in a block of 100 shares at $140 per share; that is to say, $14,000 for the lot. As a rule only transactions of 100 shares or muiltiples of 100 shares are re- ported. But to limit trading to either in- vestors or speculators who could af- ford to buy and sell in 100-share lots would be to exclude a large number. So machinery has been devised to en. able dealings in any number of shares from 1 up to 99 at a price fixed by the current quotation on 00 shares. The brokers who actually transact this business in odd lots do not do anvthing else nor do they act for in- dividual customers, but only for other Stock Exchange houses. They agree to buy or sell the shares in any num- ber less than 100 at a price of one- eighth to one-quarter away from the next transaction in a full lot. The compensation of the odd-lot house is this differential of one-eighth to one- quarter. To illustrate, an investor wishes to buy 10 shares of Steel common. He gives his order to his own brokerg#who turns it over to the odd-lot dealer. Supposing the order to he a market one and the next sale of 100 shares of Steel common is at 140, the buy- ing order for 10.shares is executed at 140%. If it had been a. selling order the 10 shares would have heen sold at 139%. If instead of 140 the next sale of Steel common had been 142 the 10 shares would have cost the purchaser 14214 and the seller would have received 1417%, and o on. The identical procedure would have been gone through with if the num- ber of shares concerned had been 1 or 99 or anything in between. (Copyrizht. 1926.) DALLIN'S PEACE STATUE RESTORED FOR CHICAGO Indian on Horseback Is Listed as Among the Most Notable Works. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 20.—Dallin's celebrated equestrian statue “A Sig- nal of Peace” is about to be restored to_Chicago. The statue, listed first among Dal- lin's chief works. inctuding his known “Appeal to the Great which stands in_front of on Museum of Fine Arts, was originally located in one of the most conspicuous spots in Chicago, at Lincoln Park hillside close to the hig bronze figure of Gen. Grant. For some unknown reason this site was exchanged for an isolated location jutting out Inte Lake Michigan at the foot of Diversey Roulevard, where almost the only visitors have heen marksmen intent on shooting the daylights out of clay pigeons. Now a new bhridge is extending the Lincoln Park shore drive, and hereafter Dallin’s master production, an indlan on horseback giving ‘a signal of peace,” will again be readily accessible to all Chicagoans. BROTHER OF JAPANESE PRINCESS HEN FANCIER Renounces His Army Career and Goes in for Raising of Chickens. By the Aesociated Press. TOKIO, November 29,—Marquis K. Kuni, elder brother of the Crown Princess Nagako, has renounced his army career and gone into the busi- ness of chicken raising. He is the first member of an imperial family to engage in poultry raising, and ‘it is sald that his proud relatives were somewhat shocked at the idea.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, November 29.—A quickening of retail trade coincident with the start of holiday buying and a slackening of wholesale operations due to the approach of the inventory season were contrasting features of last week's business activities. Few changes of importance were noted in the industrial situation aside from the season let-down in production. ‘With the end of the vear in sight. it has become increasingly apparent that new high records would be es- tablished in the sales and earnings of many important companles, with an aggregate industrial output of impres- sive proportions. In some cases dis- appointing Autumn business was more than offset by an unusually active Summer. The underlying stabjlity of condi- tions has been emphasized by the smoothness with which year-end re- adjustments are being made. Another big jump in the Government's cotton crop forecast to nearly 18,500,000 bales fl‘l}rend to disturb the market's equilibrit and was even followed by improvement staple. Emergency Measures in Force. Emergency measures already have been effective in halting the threat- ened market disruption and in steady- ing conditions in the textile fleld. Sales of automobiles recently have shown a tendency to increase, despite further curtalilment of production. The last week or two of the year probably will find many plants closed down for inventories and for changes in models preliminary to the opening of the automobile shows. Prospects of more Intensive competition next year were brought hefore the indus- try by persistent reports that Henry Ford would enter the six and eight cylinder fields. Railroad earnings for October in some cases have been disappointing, although increases so far have out- numbered declines. Freight traffic meanwhile has begun to fall off, although not in sufficient volume to have any serious effect. Millions of dollars were added to the wage bills of the railoads last week through increases in the pay of shopmen. An- other important wage question, involv- ing conductors and trainmen, is to be decided by arbitrators early: next month. Equipment Orders Heavy. The prosperous condition of most raflroads led last week to the placing of large orders for equipment. One of the leading manufacturers reported that it -had four miles of locomotives to build, and a steady flow of con- tracts for other types of rolling stock passed from the carriers to the equip- ment companies. Developments affecting the petro- leum, sugar and copper markets were mainly favorable. Strenuous efforts are belng made to reduce the crude ofl output, in some cases through prorating agreements. The restriction of the Cuban sugar crop continued to send prices for this commodity up to.new high levels for the year. Un- derlying conditions in the copper trade remained satisfactory, although Brit- ish interests withdrew from the re- cently formed International Export Association. Quiet conditions prevailed in the steel industry, with new buying lim- ited and operations pared down to be- tween 75 and 80 per cent of capacity. GERMAN BONDS AND VSTOCKS.
