First Bath In 7 Year?, So Town Declares a Holiday sjt AMERICAN- V ' ' GATH-HOUSE IT is not the custom In Amer ica to declare a holiday, hold a procession and go cheering through the streets, merely be cause one is going' to take a bath. Bat they do in Poland, Latvia and ltoumania, and no wonder, tor most of them have not had a chance to get into a bath tub for seven years. Therein lies a great deal cf their tragedy. Dirt brings dis ease and, in lands were there is no soap and the rivers are frozen, conditions can only be alleviated by starting with the bath. The Medico-Sanitary staff of the American Jewish Joint Distri bution Committee is working hard In these territories for health. Cleanliness campaigns, and “Mass ed bathing processions” are con ducted after the erection of great bath houses, with tubs and show ers, steam baths, and disinfecting ovens. in most cases it is necessary to completely reclothe the bathers In new garments for what they take off is a mass of rags unwashed for years. This work is being con ducted without regard to sect or race, and in Poland alone the Am erican Jewish Joint Distribution Committee has in operation or near completion over 200 new bath houses besides the ones that have been remodeled and equipped. A professor of the Harvard School of Medicine, who served in Poland for the Committee de scribes a scene at Hoszka where 1200 people gathered to cheer for America when the bath house was opened. The coming generation in Poland is dating its first chance to grow up with health and strength from the day when the Committee is able to provide bath ing facilities in each individual town. This is,one of the ways ty phus and favus, another infections disease which has 20,000 victims -In Poland, is being stamped out.

An opening advancemet scattered realizing or selhng for a reaction, but after working off from 28.90 to 28.62 for May, prices steadied on reports of a renewed trade demand. That delivery closed at 28.78 with the general market closing steady, net 3 points higher to 13 points lower. Old crop positions were rela tively steady. The market opened steady at un changed prices to an advance of 19 points m response to higher Liverpool cables and continued bullish reports from Liverpool and the domestic goods trade. The latter* however, failed to materially stimulate demand, and as soon as the initial buying orders had been supplied, the market turned eas ier. Houses with Liverpool connections were buyers here* but this was pre sumably to undo straddles as the near months in the English market turned easier under liquidation after the local* opening and the Ipwer rate cables pro moted some local selling and quite a reactionary sentiment was reported during the middle *of the-day on an idea that the trade buying to fix prices on call cotton had pretty well run its course and that reports of new crop preparations would soon be reached here from the south. March sold off I to 28.43 and July to 28.34 or about 8 to 10 points net lower, while October de | dined to ill.12, making a net loss ,of i 19 points. I A little more trade buying was not j ed around these prices for the old crop months, however, and the market later in the day was steadier with the close showing rallies of some 6 to 12 points • from the lowest. The official cable I from Manchester reported a better de l mand for yarn3 and a good demand for cloths from • India. Houses with for eign trade connections were reported moderate buyers of October on the de cline today. March May . July . October December .

Jan. 25.—Something of a reactionary tendency persisted in the cotton market today but downturns i were not wide because they were met by new buying-, based on clairms of a better spot demand in western and eetral markets of the belt and also in the market, where prices remained un changed at the top most levels of the season, 28.63 a pound for middling. Price movements were unusually nar row and it might be said that the close was typical of the whole session.- .March closed’ at 2S.28 a pound. The opening was higher but the in itial bulge did not last long. At its height the trading positions were 15 to 16 points over the closipg prices of yesterday with March at 28.42 and Oc tober 26^10. Realizing sales from the long side soon increased in volume and during" a s-ood part of the remainder of the session this sort of selling a lit tle more than, supplied the demand. 'Soon after mid-session prices were at their lowest march being off to 28.17 and October l^ff to 25.74 with the list at losses under yesterday's close or 9 to 91 Tioints. Reports of a better, de mand for spots at Memphis, with prices 25 points up, made a steadier market on the close. New crop months made- wider de clines than the old because of telegrams from Texas to the effect that^hew crop preparations were going ahead under favorable soil conditions.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-J-Renewed weakness of some of the French bonds, which sent French 7%s and Framerican 7Us to their lowest quotations on re cord, was the outstanding develop ment in today's- relatively dull and ir regular bond market. The reaction in these issues, however, aid not extend to the general foreign group. Rack of buying power n, the French issues rather than any heavy liquidation has been responsible for re cent weakness. St Paul Issues showed good recovery but a number of the other mortgages in the railroad group lost ground. Cop per companies liens were the strong spots of the industrial group. Goodyear Tire Ss of 1931 were heavy.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—While a de :idedly reactionary feeling permeates •otton circles today following yester lav's showing of the market and the dose of .trading today yet withal final quotations are practically unchanged rom the previous closing excepting October which again showed the great est weakness under the idea that the l’exas drought has been broken and .he crop prospect consequently im • moved. Eiverpool gave another exhibition of treat strength in early trading but final jrices were sharply off from the best tnd indicate a reactionary feeling ■here also. Favorable reports are re ceived again on Manchester trade but n domestic cloth markets demand was -eported moderately subsided. At least these things show in the main some what of a halting tendency among tot ton traders permitting them to cavil their breath even if not to carry y5ut the reactionary feeling through furth er liquidation at the cost of quotations. I'he impressive feature in the trading I hat took place today is that the class if buying which absorbed sales was jet of the kind regarded as the strong -st er indicative of traders In the best informed circles being eager to ac uunulate further contract at current [) r i c g 8. Trading in January contracts ceased It noon. The final price was 28.32. At die same time March contracts traded, it 2S.50. which shows on the face of it to Sinai urgent demand for spots on ■ontract here otherwise January in all irobabilitv would have shown a prem um over "March. For the next month so squeeze in futures is possible be muse February commitments are usu ally of a negligible quantity conse quently there can be no immediate an ticipation of driving shorts in on ac lount of being without the actual igainst sales. In effect we are ending t bull month and while what the com ng month will bring is naturally a matter of conjecture yet it would bn well to look seriously at traders halted ■endency toward rushing prices up fur ther at this time.
