NEW ORLEANS. Aus. 18—The otton
market opened rather quietly although
first trade* were 1 to 3 point* tower in
sympathy with Liverpool end prices eased
off to 22.77 for October and 22.97 for De-

the crop. The market, however, soon re-
covered all toes. A private crop estimate
of 13,871,000 bales was issued near the
opening.
The market ruled very quiet all morn-
ing, uncertainty as to the showing of the
next government report being largely re-
sponsible for the lack of trading. Prices
eased off gradually probably due to pri-
vate crop estimate* of 14,200,000 bales.
All active months made new lows with
October at 22.73 and December at 22.93.
The market rallied a few pointe around

CHICAGO GRAIN.
CHICAGO, Aug. 18.— The leading Chi-
cago wheat operators began selling at
ti>« opening of th* market here today, but
almost immediately several prominent
eastern houses started buying with th*
result that values opened from 1 cent
down to %• up and stayed within narrow
limits. Commission houses also were on
both sides of th* market and this also
served to produce irregular but narrow
fluctuations with the prices never very
far from th* opening figares. September
wheat opened at $1.68% to $1,591, De-
eember at $1.58 to $1.58% and May at
81.81% to $1.81%. During the first hours
September and Docember dropped more
than a full cent from the opening but
then gained a* much as the market rtend-
led. May wheat went from %e to %e
over the opening but lost about thia much
later.
Corn followed the course of wheat with
considerable fewer offering* and the mar-
ket hovered around the initinl figures
during the first hour. The opening was
a shade down to Mc up, with September
31.83% to $1.84, but bad dropped to
$1.93 an hour later.
Onto started a shad* to %e up, with
September 395 to M%e, and held near
this range.
FINANCIAL REVIEW.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.— Speculative ac-
tivity continued unabated at the opening j
of today’s stock market, with large blocks J
of representative railroad issues changing
hands at higher price*. Kansas City
Southern jumped 1% points on report*
that It would soon take the lead in a new
southwestern merger plan, and Norfolk
and Western reached a new 1925 high
at 140. American Car and Foundry led
an advance in the equipment issues.
Prospects for favorable July earnings
based on the record breaking traffic move-
ment and the possibility of an upward
revision of freight rate* were dominant
factor* in the expanded buying of the
carrier stocks, which lifted several south-
ern and southwestern issue* to new top
price* for the year. The early demand en-
compassed Atlantic Coast Line, Louis-
ville and Nashville, New York Central.
Pittsburg and West Virginia. "Katy” pre-
ferred. Great Northern preferred. Lack-
awanna and Canadian Pacific. Inquiry
was also brisk for such popular specialties
as U. S. Cast Iron Pipe, General Railway
Signal, Havana Electric, Otis Elevator and
Postum Cereal, which scored gains of 1
to 3% points in the first half hour. In-
ternational Telephone, however, dropped
back 3 points on realising induced by the
announcement of a new stock issue. For-
eign exchanges opened steady, with Bel-
temperature* ranging from 100 to 110. A
little buying shortly after noon advanced
October to a new high at 22.87, but De-
cember and later months did not cross
the earlier highs. Exports for the day
totaled only 1692 bales.

Hides His Identity.
But Belle Bennett had a son.
William Macy, who was 16. 8h
had divorced his father, but the son
lived with her and was the center
of her life.
And she knew that if film pro-
ducers found she had a 16-year-
old son they would pass her by and
select a younger actress.
So she forbade her son to call
her "mother.” She introduced him
as Billie Bennett, her brother, and
no one knew that she was his
mother.
Belle Bennett won the position
she coveted. She was chosen from
70 actresses who applied. Her sub-
terfuge had worked.
And—on the day she signed the
contract, Billie was hurt in a
friendly scuffle with some chums.
His Injuries were fatal, and he died
on* the day she was to have begun
work in the new film.
"My boy always wanted to call
me mother,” she says. "He hated
the name of Billie Bennett, and so
did I, but I was afraid to admit
my age.
