In the Cotton Markets (Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—December contracts for cotton opened as high as $6.50, reacted to $6.35 and at noon were $6.48. In the meanwhile, a big trade business had been going on with Europe a conspicuous buyer. Europe is certainly commodity minded as far as cotton is concerned. They expect some sort of inflation in this country, but apparently have no definite idea what is to bring it about. The south is not selling in small lots. Trade news shows improvement wherever it shows any change at all. The technical position has lost its strength, but this will not necessarily interfere with a further advance if the w’orld is to take up commodity buying. CHICAGO —Oct. 19High. Low. Close.

BY ELMER WALZER, United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Stocks advanced 1 to 4 points today, while bonds turned about including the United States issues; cotton gained nearly $1 a bale and wheat turned up from a lower opening. Strength in financial and commodity markets hinged about a series of developments expected to materialize favorably in the future. .A visit of Premier Laval was expected to bring closer together America and France and a favorable move was seen in the apparent turn in the French attitude on our gold, shipments of which have slowed up. The S. S. Majestic brought over a group of foreign copper producers who will confer here with American producers. Copper shares promptly rose fractions to more than a point on belief the industry would be stabilized through the curtailment of output. Favor Copper Cut Emile Franqui, minister of state of Belgium and managing director of Union Miniere Du Haut Katanga, huge Belgian copper mining company, said he would be agreeable to curtailment that would bring operations down to 40 per cent of capacity in the industry. Gains of a point or more were noted in Anaconda, Phelps Dodge, American Smelting and Cerro De Pasco Kennecott ana Nevada made fractional gains. Trading in coppers was active. Steel common led the industrial list, reaching 71%, up 2 points. V.'estinghouse Electric rose to 49, up 2%; Allied Chemical 83%, up 4; Du Pont 61%, up 16; American Can 85%, up 2%, and Case 51%, up 3%. Rails Sell Higher Railroad shares again came to the forefront to the tune of the oftrepeated stories that the I. C. C. was to issue its freight rate statement shortly. Railroad bonds also forged ahead. In the stock market Atchison, New York Central and D. <fc H. gained 2 points or more and Union and Pacific 3 points. Others were up fractions to more than a point. American Telephone rose nearly 3 points to 138% and Consolidated Gas 2% to 74%. Utilities followed these leaders into higher ground. Oils swung into line on the upside in the early afternoon, despite huge increase in oil production as a result of reopening of the Oklahoma fields. Cali money was easier in tone, but unchanged at 2% per cent.

Un request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will turnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Monday’s Times: The Flattest Thing in the World —The optical glass produced in a Camden Town factory, London, England, has been called the most perfect in the world by eminent physicists in the science of glass making and the firm has acquired a monopiy of such things as “echelon” gratings and other optical apparatus requiring perfect optical surfaces. To test a surface for flatness it is laid upon a “proof-plate” of the required flatness r.nd viewed by the light of the mercury lamp. Any irregularity of shape is revealed immediately by irregularities in i the “Newton’s rings” formed between the plates. The final testing apparatus is called the “phenika,” which again uses interference fringes for discovering irregularities of optical thickness. The instrument maps out the slab in contour lines, the steps being a quarter wave-length of light, or about a 200,000 th of an inch. An expert operator can gauge uneveness within a tenmillionth of an inch. The finished glass plates are used to build echelon gratings for spectroscopic purposes, and as flat mirrors in large Newtonian reflector telescopes and other optical apparatus requiring the formation of a perfect virtual image.

Bancroft, the American historian, was pubished in 1902, only 150 /copies being printed in an edition de luxe, called by the publishers the “Black Swan” edition.

FUTURES MART SHOWS UNEVEN TRADING RANGE Nearby Wheat Options Off on Spreading With Corn. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 20. Wheat opened irregularly on the Board of Trade today with the deferred months strong on the reports of frost io the Argentine, the resistance to pressure at Liverpool and strength m stocks. The nearby months reacted after the sharp advance of the last two weeks, and on spreading with corn, but the decline was only fractional. Corn showed strength and was up a minor fraction despite favorable weather over the belt. Oata was firm with corn. Opening Is Irregular At the opening wheat was % cent lower to % cent higher, corn vas unchanged to •% cent higher and oats was % cent up. Provisions were slow and steady. Liverpool was unchanged to % cent lower at mid-afternoon, but Sterling was 6 points higher, which counted for the showing. The strength in wheat in the face of heavy profit-taking has encouraged bulls, who seems confident of their position. May, which is the center of trading, has advanced around 9 cents from its recent low. The idea prevails that Europe will have to buy wheat owing to the poor crops abroad and that this buying has already commenced. Setbacks Looked For Setbacks from time to time are looked for by holders, but the market seems to have thrown off the influence of stocks. While there still is plenty of corn in the country, the market is showing a tendency to follow wheat rather than react to its own basic condition. The fact that prices ore below the cost of production largely accounts for this, while feeding will increase with colder weather. Oats have stepped out of the lagging tendency owing to the impetus given the market by the rises in the <*thcr pits. Good buying meets setbacks and the steadiness in cash helps.
