The opening was UTMular at a decline of 10 points on £fr, but generally 2 to 10 points higher. July notices representing about 6,000 bales were reported in circulation and there was another private report indicating a big im provement in crop prospects as it estimated the condition at 69.3 and the increase in acreage at one per cent. July quickly rallied from 35.50 to 35.80, however, or 15 points net higher, on covering and trade buying, while October sold up to 33.45, or 20 points above last night’s closing figures. Except for covering there was, very little demand, however, and the tone ,vae uncertain. The break extended to 32.70 for October during the early afternoon, or 30 to 55 points net lower on new crop positions, making new low ground for the movement. Rallies of 15 or 20 points followed on covering but were not fully maintained with the mid afternoon market unsettled. Trade interests bought July and that po sition develooed increased strength during the morning, selling up to 36.20 or 55 points net higher. There was selling of October against some of the July buying, but cover ing was promoted by the firmness of the near position and new crop months sold 20 to 25 points net higher with October touch ing 33.46. Offerings increased at this level ■ and the price reacted to 33.09 around mid day owing to the continued favorable weath er reports. Business was fairly active dur ing the first hour but later tapered off, much of it representing switching between months.

In the early trad ing notices for only 700 bales were issued. The initial decline carried prices 9 to 14 loints down and the reaction put them 25 to 31 points over yesterday’s close. July sold down to 35.60 and then advanced to 36.05. The advance continued until it amounted to 29 to 36 points and Jnly was trading at 36.10. Heavy liquidation came on the mar ket, together with some ilttle short selling and a break resulted which carried the mar ket 24 to 49 points under the close of yes terday, July sinking to 35.50, and October to 32.55. The report from Houston that the first two new bales of the season were expected there today or tomorrow was re sponsible for some of the selling. Late in the day shorts took profits and then buying of covers made a steadier mar ket, the more active months standing toward the close at losses of 12 to 17 points.

Commercial conditions gen erally are unfavorable to a bullish view. S. M. Weld & Co.: Although the market looks as if it might go lower, we are not in favor of making sales. A. T. Orden & Co.: We advise buying. Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: There are predictions of heavy deliveries on July con tracts and with first notice day out of the way the market should improve . Moyse & Holmes: We recommend cautious purchases on scale down. J. W. Jay: Both foreign and domestic advices, especially regarding mill demand, are not very encouraging. E. F. Hutton & Co.: Do not look for any sustained advance unless the weather south becomes very unfavorable. SHEPARD & GLUCK’S COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, June 25.—During the early trading in cotton today the market was steady enough but early advances were wiped out by heavy selling, much of which seemed to come from liquidating longs, al though some selling for short account was aroused by the report from Houston that two bales of new cotton were expected there today or tomorrow. Rumors of the closing of sme Carolina mills because of lack of orders served to feed bearish sentiment. First July notices in this market were esti mated at only 700 bales and were quickly stopped. Today ends the June condition period and probably the near future of the market depends on how sentiment shapes up regarding bureau day. NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET Close.

HARDING WOULD LIMIT CAMPAIGN GIFTS TO SI,OOO WASHINGTON, June 25.—Wil liam Boyce Thompson, chairman of the ways and means committee of the Republican national corpmittee, announced tdday after a conference with Senator Harding, Republican presidential nominee, that the pol icy inaugurated two years ago by Chairman Hays limiting campaign contributions to SI,OOO would be fol lowed again this year. “Senator Harding feels,” Mr. Thompson said, “and we all agree w’th him, that the necessary funds for the national teampaign should be made up of small contributions. Our policy is to adhere strictly to the prpposal of receiving contribu tions in limited amounts. “The Republican party means to carry on an intensive campaign in order to get back to government un der the constitution, but it is not going to be a campaign that will commit the party to an obligation to the money Interests or any other single or selfish element in Ameri can life. “Through ipy department there has been no contribution In excess of SI,OOO and we mean to continue that limitation. There is to be no reliance on financial influence to re store the Republican power to power.” Colonel Theodore Roosevelt had an hours’ conference with Senator Harding today and later said they had had & most satisfactory talk. “Senator Hardings’ Ideas as to the policies of this country when he Is elected president and as to the cam paign for the presidency are such as every young forward-looking man would Indorse In toto,” said Colonel Roosevelt. “In Senator Harding we will have In this campaign and aft erwards a man who will represent and unite the entire party.” New Skirts Should Come “Below Waist” This Fall, Figg Says WASHINGTON, June 25.—Conser vation of cloth at expense of wom anly modesty will not be indorsed by the government, representatives of the National Garment Retailers’ as sociation were told today by Howard Fig'S, assistant to the attorney-gen eral, in charge of the campaign to reduce prices. • The retailers presented for Mr. Figg’s inspection three living models dressed in knee length gowns de signed as the extreme in women’s •wear for next fall. Mr. Figg de clined to indicate what he considered a proper length for skirts, but de clared after viewing the extreme styles that skirts should “at least come below the waist.” The retailers ■approved Mr. Figg’s suggestion that coming styles should be changed as little as possible so that women might get the full wear out of their clothes and not feel com pelled to refill their wardrobes fre quently because of the differing modes.

Thomson, Mckinnon & co. grain LETTER CHICAGO. June 25.—Corn—The railroad labor board has made no wage award and It Is claimed that railrnnd men will refuse to work on and after Monday next unless some decision is made. Nevertheless there Is a rather widespread feeling that a suf ficient advance in wages will be granted to prevent any complete shutting down. What ever the future action of railroad men. the fact remains that the primary receints for the past two weeks have been considerably larger than year ngo and have taken the edge off cash situation premiums have de clined until contract grades are selling with in 3 to 4 cents of July prices, but this con dition has not stimulated the demand. On contrary new shipping demand is slow. July liquidation has commenced, resulting in a narrowing of the July-September differences. < In case receipts of corn can be maintained nt their present volume we believe the trend of the market will be downward. Oats—There is no such weakening of pre miums for cash oats ns in corn. Contract grades still selling at 13% to 15c over July. On the other hand, interest in the market is dropped to a minimum. This condition to gether with forecast of showery weather with normal temperatures leaves market susceptible to any weakness, in corn. Provisions—Liquidation of July holdings in nork dominates the action of the deferred deliveries in the list. BRYAN’S ARRIVAL AT FRISCO STARTS FIREWORKS GOING BY ED Xi. KEEN SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.—From now on there will be more news and less dope. This ought to be as much of a re lief to the reading public as to the army of scribes gathered here for Democratic national convention, many of whom being short of facts have felt compelled to resort to mere language to justify their salaries and expense accounts. William J. Bryan’s coming alone changes the whole atmosphere. Nev er was the approach of a real news maker more welcome. And judging not only from the Commoner’s past performances in similar instances as well as from advance notices spread/ abroad from way stations while he has been en route, but also from the very manifest feeling of perturba tion among the administration lead ers who hitherto have been dominat ing the situation here, he is going to fulfill expectations. . Os course, the arrival of the other delegates, which is now on in full swing helps too. Also we have with us today six presidential candidates of varying degrees of avowedness and loquacity, namely: Vice Presi dent Thomas R. Marshall, Senator Robert L. Owen, Senator Carter Glass, * James Gerald, Gover nor Smith, of New York, and Homer S. Cumming's. Still others are on the way and those who will be absent are stead ily reinforcing their armies of oc cupation. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer was on the same train with Mr. Bryan. Today’s meeting of the national committee also helps to lift the pre convention news situation from the plane of speculator, rumor and fore cast to that of actuality. Ditto, the arrival of various earnest outside folk seeking to assist the party in the construction of a platform. According to latest information Bryan has already achieved his first pre-convention victory in the decis ion of the Nebraska delegation after much argument to let him be its representative on the resolutions committee though nearly all its mem bers are opposed to his League of Nations policy and they are evenly divided on the wet and dry issue. Hitchcock Would Refuse Nomination For Vice Presidency "WASHINGTON, June 25.—Senator Hitchcok, of Nebraska, announced today that he wojjld not accept the Democratic vice presidential nomina tion. Senator Hitchcock’s announcement was made in a telegram to Arthur F. Mullen, member of the Democratic national committee from Nebraska, answering a letter in which Mr. Mullen had said the senator was being prominently mentioned for the vice presidency. “I am not a candidate for vice president and would not accept the nomination for second place,” the telegram said. The Democratic platform will not contain either a wet or dry plank, in the opinion of Senator Hitchcock, but he expresesd the conviction to day that it will include a strong League of Nations plank. “I cannot conceive that the Demo cratic party will place a plank in the platform declaring for or against prohibition,” he said. “Prohibition is not properly an issue between Demo crats. If a dry plank were inserted it would mean tha-t raising out of the party those Democrats who had not favored prohibition. If a wet plank were adopted it would mean that the men who believe in prohibition must be outside the party.” Wealthy Woman Pleads Guilty to Thefts of Large Sums of Money NEW YORK.—Thefts of SIB,OOO worth of jewelry from the homes of prominent New York society women are alleged by police to have been committed by Mrs. J. C. Gleason, widow of a former Chicago banker, who was arrested here recently. She was arraigned on the specific charge of stealing a SI,BOO diamond bar pin from the home of Mrs. Chester M. Curry, May 14, and was locked up when she was unable to furnish $15,- 000 bail. According to the police, Mrs. Glea son admitted taking the pin during a card party at the home of Mrs. Curry. They said she told them she also took $l5O from the Curry home and $240 from another residence where she was a guest. Assistant District Attorney John Hogan char acterized her as a “female Raffles” when she was arraigned in court. The police said her husband died seven years ago, leaving her an an nuity of $20,000 while she remained single and SIO,OOO if she married. Later she married a man whose name she told them was A. Brown, from whom she afterward separated. Mrs. Gleason told the police, tjiey added, that she had lost heavily at poker recently at the homes of so ciety women in New York. Pinchot Raps Harding And His Platformm NEW YORK, June 25.—Amos Pinchot, one of Roosevelt’s most ac tive supporters in 1912, now a mem ber of the committee of forty-eight, today took issue with Senator Boies Penrose’s statement that “the nomi nation of Harding has met with a hearty response from the followers of Colonel Roosevelt.” “Real progressives, Democrats as well as Republicans, will flock to the new party to be launched at Chi cago, July 10,” Mr. Pinchot said. “Instead of winning back progres sives who followed Colonel Roose velt in 1912, the nomination of Hard ing on a reactionary, ambiguous and insincere platform proves the utter impossibility of reforming either of the old parties by working from , within.” PRESIDENT ASKS O.K. FOR SUFFRAGE IN N. CAROLINA WASHINGTON, June 25.—Presi dent Wilson has sent messages to Governor- Bickett and Senators Sim mons and Overman, of North Caro lina, suggestion that he need not point out to them the "critical im portance” of the action of the North Carolina .legislature on the federal suffrage amendment when the as sembly meets in special session next month. The message to Governor Bickett follows: “I am sure I need not point out to you the critical importance of the action of your great state in the mat ter of suffrage amendment.” The president previously had asked Governor Roberts, of Tennessee, to call a special session of the Tennes see legislature to act on the amend ment. The president’s message was sent after Acting Attorney General Frierson had ruled that the supreme court decision in the Ohio referen dum case had invalidated the section of the Tennessee constitution pro hibiting the legislature from passing on an amendment if the members were elected before the amendment was submitted to the state. A delegation of suffragists headed by Miss Sue White, of Nashville, left here for Tennessee today to work for ratification of the federal amendment by a special session of the Tennessee legislature. Governor Roberts, at the request of President Wilson, has said he will call this session. Democrats now at San Francisco will be asked to bring pressure upon Tennessee Democrats in behalf of suffrage, according to the national woman’s party here. GOVERNOR BICKETT HOPES TENNESSEE WILL ACT RALEIGH, N. C., June 25.—Com menting today on a telegram he re ceived late last night from President Wilson in which the president point ed to the “critical importance of the action of your state in the matter of the suffrage amendment,” Governor Bickett said he hoped the Tennessee legislature would meet in special session and ratify the amendment and thereby relieve North Carolina of doing it. “We have neither the time nor the money, and such action on the part of Tennessee would save this state the feeling of bitterness that would sure ly be endangered by debate on the subject thaf would come up in our legislature.” President Wilson’s message to which Governor Bickett had not yet replied this morning, follows: “I am sure I need not point out to you the critical importance of the ac tion of your grea£ state in the mat ter of suffrage amendment.” “I have said all I intend saying on the subject of Ratification,” Governor Bickett stated to newspaper men last night, “While I will take my medi cine, I will never swear that it tastes good, foor it doesn’t.” Marshall Would Put k Platform on Postcard And Name Good Man SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. —Vice President Morshall made it known last night that his activities in the Democratic national convention would be directed toward working as a delegate at l£irge from Indiana for a “safe and a sane” plaform. “Put a good man on it and let him go to it,” he added. On his arrival late today from Del Monte, Calif., where he has spent a tew days, the viee president said he was not a candi date for any office and had not de cided for whom he would vote in the convention. ; He said he would like to have the platform brief and explicit. Disclaiming knowledge of any move to place him on the resolutions committee or make him chairman of it he said: “If I were making up the platfiorm I’d write it on a post card and in sue hterms that if we were wrong the -whole country, would know it.” Mr. Marshall said he did not an ticipate any serious prohibition is sue. “My personal views on this ques tion are unchanged,” he continued. “I was not in favor of prohibition originally, but now it is incorporated in the constitution and it should be j o b s e r ved.” Will Halt March Os Pink 801 l Weevil MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 25. —George Alexander, of Greenville, Miss., was elected president of the Mississippi Cotton Seed Crushers’ association at the closing session of its convention here Thursday.

CoxTsTavorite in Wall Street Betting NEW YORK, June 25.—Governor Cox continued today as favorite in Wall street betting on the Demo cratic presidential nomination. Odds ( against him were shortened from 2 1-2 to 1 to 2 to 1. Several SI,OOO wagers at the odds were reported. Odds against other candidates were: William G. McAdoo 4 to l; against 3 1-2 to 1 Wednesday; Gov ernors Smith and Edwards 6 to 1; former Ambassador Gerard 10 to 1; William J. Bryan 10 to 1; Ambassa dor Davis 4 to 1. Gimbel and Assistants Plead Not Guilty NEW YORK, June 25.—Frederick Gimbel, first vice president of the Gimbel Brothers, and two associates, entered pleas of not guilty to in dictments charging profiteering, when arraigned before Federal Judge Grubb. Date of trial was not set. Bail of SI,OOO for each of the defendants was continued. FIGHT OF REED FOR CONVENTION SEAT MAY BE SPIRITED (Continued from Page 1) ever, to show that all parties to the contest had arrived at the conclusion that such a course would be wise. While it was possible that the Vir ginia Democrats had followed the plan of silence on the Volstead en forcement act in framing the plat form which President Wilson has approved, which might indicate the administration’s attitude, it was sug gested much depends on the course W. J. Bryan plans to follow on his arrival here today. He is credited with having determined to carry the war into the enemy’s country in meeting the ‘wet” drive at the plat form which began more than a week ago and offer an emphatic bone dry declaration on his account. The movement for platform silence on the enforcement measure is said to have sprung in part from consid eration of this report as to the Ne braskan’s plans. Some at least of its advocates are said to desire now to head off a vote on such a bone dry program as a matter of expediency. If the issue were forced to a con clusion on the platform struggle, these strategists argued, it might be more prejudicial to their hopes for modification of the Volstead act than beneficial, while complete silence would leave party repersentatives in congress free to act. These feelers toward a harmony program were not clear enough today among workers for various presiden tial candidates. The Qrst of the large delegations will arrive within the next two days and preparations for missionary work among the members were in progress. Various combinations for the ticket were being talked over with a view to arranging to secure for this or that votes to brought to his standard through a pre-arranged agreement as to the vice presidency. None of these tenta tive tickets appeared, however, to have more behind it than the specu lation of campaign managers. FRI ENDS OF M’ADOO~ TO NOMINATE HIM over Own protest (Continued from Page 1) must make the race, and with that idea in mind they are planning to draft him for the nomination. So far as President Wilson is con cerned, nobody here has had a word from him on candidates and Senator Glass, who talked with Mr. Wilson about plans for the convention, espe cially the platform, is authority for the statement that the name of Mr. I McAdoo or any other candidate didn’t come from the lips of the president during the entire conversation. The same holds true with respect to the Wilson office-holders and faithful supporters. They haven’t had any word from th* White House, so they are backing Palmer, or Cox, or Mere dith, while the original group which has been for McAdoo from the start is standing firmly for his nomination.' Plan Pinisli Pight The men in this group insist that McAdoo, himself, has recognized that the call of the country must super sede personal considerations, for they point to his public statement made at the time of the withdrawal of his name from the Georgia pri maries, namely, that no man could refuse the nomination for the presi dency. y When Mr. McAdoo asked .therefore, "what more can I do?” the answer made by forces opposed to McAdoo was that he could say he wouldn’t take the nomination if proffered to him. This, however, it is argued by his friends, would be Inconsistent with his first declaration at the time of the Georgia primaries. So while Mr. McAdoo is earnestly trying to prevent his friends here from putting him in the embarrass ing position of appearing as a can didate. they are going ahead with remarkable steadfastness to put him in nomination. It may be excessive zeal and it may prove a mistaken compliment, but the folks who are working for McAdoo here are a loyal set who will not take “no” from Mc- Adoo. Thej have talked the situa tion over and have planned to go ahead to the finish. Talk of giving the.vice presiden tial nominatiem to Victor Murdock,' of Kansas, former Bull Moose leader, comes from the McAdoo supporters though many of them would prefer Governor Cox, of Ohio, to go on the ticket with McAdoo. They insist that the ticket “McAdoo and Cox” would be a winner. 6,000 MILES Guaranteed send n ° money // IHereistheabaolutellmitintire IS4 (offers —never before such won- FBI iderful values I Pay only when 1 rs- (convinced.
