NEW YORK, April 28. —Reports of im- |
proving weather conditions in the south led |
to considerable selling in ttie cotton mar
ket during today’s early trailing. The open
ing was 5 points lower on .May, which was
influenced by the circulation of a few
i notices, lint later months were 1 to 12 points
I liigfrbr on over-night buying orders, Li yer-I
pool was a good seller here, however, while I
there was southern selling and local pres- i
sure became more active en the call, with I
a -tive months breaking 15 to 30 points front |
last night’s closing. Near months were ret-1
utivciy easy and Jul.v sold down to 38.30e, ;
while October declined to 35JUC.
The break extended to 38.15 for July and
35.15 for October during the early afternoon,
or 45 points to 65 points net lower under
continued liquidation and Wall street sell
ing. promoted by the weakness in the stock
market. Trading then became less active
and there were rallies of a few points from i
the lowest.
The markett became slightly steadier late !
cn covering in anticipation of a bullish
weekly weather report, with July selling
t’P to 38.55 and October to 35.78. The re
port, however, indicated that there had
been better progress with cotton planting
and proved a disappointment to recent buy
ers with the result that there was a sharp
break in prices. Selling was active and
general, with Jul.v easing off to 38.23 and
October to 35.15. within a few minims after
the report was iseued, or 37 lo 64 points net j

months gaining 4 to 2,5 points, but almost
immediately soiling of about the same cfcar- .
acter that Was felt yesterday came on the;
market and a swift break followed. At the :
end of the first hour of business the market [
stood 39 to 43 points under yesterday’s close. |

selling.
The market steadied up saniewhat in an-,!
ticipation of unfavorable weekly crop re
ports from the government at 10 o’clock. |
but the r&ports turned out much less bull- i
ish than expected and precipitated, extreme- |
ly heavy selling under which there was a (

SHEPARD & GLUCK~COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, April 28.—The better
tone than expected of the weekly crop re
ports from the government made a soft
market in cotton today. Much liquidation
tame out and bearish traders operated with
greater confidence. The crop reports were
easily the best thus far issued, and if the
near future brings any real improvement in
weather conditions over the belt it will be
difficult to maintain iwice levels that have
ruled of late.

Here’s Billy Sunday’s
Cabinet All Ready
For Public Approval
KNOXVILLE, TENN., April 28.
To keep the “backbiting’, grasping,
thieving, degenerate bunch of dirty
politicians who are trying,to double
cros the eighteenth amendment
from the presidential chair,” Billy
Sunday, who addressed a large au
dience here, declared he is ready to
run on a dry platform with William
Jennings Bryan.
Moreover, here is his cabinet,
handpicked and ready for the ap
proval of the public according to his
statement apart from the reference
in his sermon here:
Secretary of; State. Henry Cabot
Lodge or “Ma” Sunday. “I don’t
know which, both of ’em are fine in
any job.”
Secretary of War, Leonard Wood.
“He had a raw deal and he’s a great
soldier.”
Attorney General, .Judge K. M.
Landis. “He’d smash the daylight
out of the robbers.”
Secretary of the Interior, Henry
Allen. “He's another good one, be
lieve me.” ?
Postmaster General. Herbert
Hoover. “Oh, boy, there's a man for
you!”
Secretary of Agriculture. Prof.
Charles Curtis. “1 used to go to
school to him when he was dean of
the agriculture college at Ames.”
Secretary of Labor, Police Coinmis-*
sioner Curtis, of Boston. “One of the
ablest men in the country.”
“I don’t know about anybody else,
except that Pershing will toe chief
of staff.
“And believe me. that’s the finest
cabinet in the wofld.”
The noted evangelist declared that
“If the democrats nominate a wet
candidate and put a wet plank in
their platform, the church people
will defeat the nominee. If the Ke-'
publicans stand for the booze gang
and on a wet platform, they will be
whipped world without end. If both
Democrats and Republicans put out
wet tickets on wet platforms. Bill
Bryan and I will run on the prohibi
tion ticket. Bill is a Democrat and I.
am a Republican. He would look good
at the White House, and I think I
should like to try my -hand at hold
ing down the chair in the senate.”

Men Take to Ditch
And Let Cyclone
Demolish Automobile
BAINBRIDGE, Ga.. April, 28.—C.
W. King. of Bainbridge, and R.
Steele, of Chicago, had a very nar
row escape Tuesday when they were
| caught in the path of the cyclone
which swept across the northern part
of Decatur county about 7 o'clock.
They were in a Ford en route to
Moultrie and were about nine miles
out of Bainbridge when Mr. King’s
atten" was attracted to his left
by the noise of falling trees and de
bris which he saw was approaching
him. With rare presence of mined,
he shut off his motor and he and Mr.
Steele jumped from the car and
threw themselves in a ditch along
ide the road just in time. The
torm picked up the Ford and carried
I it a shoi’t ways, leaving it. turned up
side down and headed in the opposite
direction. The car was practically
demolished. One of the suitcases
carried by the men was found up the
road about one hundred yards away.
At this point the path of the cy
clone was <ibout three-eighths of a
mile in width and the destruction ot
all timber and. fences in the path was
complete. Fortunately, no homes
were harmed in this section, although
a few miles below, two negro houses
were totally wiped out, injuring nine
occupants, one of whom is expected
to ie. The condition of these home
less negroes was pitiful, but they
"Mill, no doubt be looked after by
their neighbors. Aside from this and
the great loss in timber, fences n n d
cribs which "fell before the wind, no
reports of other damage has been re
ceived to date.
