I admit/* said the Savannah boxer, “hut my opinion of fri .th is that 1 can beat him at the game, and I will fight him under his own proposition of ten rounds, but with the understanding that the winner is to take 75 nn I the loser 25 per cent.

Pretty much the entire trading machinery came to an abrupt stop after the bureau report, and practically i business was transacted during the re mainder of the day. The Savannah spot market responded to the drop m futures by a decline of t 4 c, wfth the tone quiet and easy. No sales were reported Buy ers ♦ Xpert a much lower Liverpool to-day In response to New York’s drop, and con sequently were not eager to take cotton until the market yields to the Imttom notch On the other hard holders In the country were Indifferent about offer ing cotton. and as one man wired. “were doing nothing since the drap." I’ntil after the trade has a breathing spell It Is not likely that busi ness will be retimed on an extensive scale. The belief Is that the future pol icy of spinners in buying cotton or con tinuing their hand-to-mouth tactics will have much to do with the course of the market. l*nb*ss there are unmistakable evidence* of an over-production. i Is not expected that holders of cotton will dump It upon the open market in quantities that will further the decline.
