Tri-Weekly Market Reports
I COTTON
NEW YORK, June s.—The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
if 8 to 19 points today notwithstand
ing the relatively easy showing of
Liverpool. Yesterday’s selling here
appeared to have left a firmer tech
nical position and at the start there
was considerable covering on pros
jjects for showery weather with
possibly lower temperatures In the
south. Buying also was promoted by
reports that spinners had been call
ing cotton freely at the decline in
London and active months soon
showed net advances of 17 to 20
points, July selling at 28.99 and
October at 26.04 in early trading.
The initial advance met consider
able realizing but the offerings were
absorbed on reactions of 15 or 26
points and the market firmed up
again after the publication of the
western belt forecast for showers
and lower temperatures. October
sold up to 26.21 before the end of
the morning with the general mar
ket showing net advances of about
15 to 38 points around mid-day. July
was relatively easy and there were
rumors of an easier spot basis in
the eastern belts.
Near month liquidation continued,
July selling off to 28.15 in the early
afternoon, or 67 points net lower.
This unsettled the general market
and rew crop months showed net
losses of IS to 20 points with Octo
ber declining to 25.63. Offerings
•were lighter around 2 o’clock with
price rallies several points from the
lowest.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, June s.—The
cotton market opened rather better
than expected first trades showing
gains of 23 points on July and eight
to ten points on new crop positions.
After a further rally of 12 to 15
points on new crops with October
trading up to 25.25 and December to
24.95, prices eased off on lower
cables than due and good weather
reports to 25.07 for October and
24.81 for December but still re
tained a small net gain over the
previous close and ruled steady while
waiting for the weather map to be
posted.
The market eased off making
new lows on the posting of the
weather map showing rain to
speak of .in the belt and tempera
tures much warmer. October traded
down to 25.05 and December 24.80
or to within five points of the previ
ous close. A little later the market
rallied sharply to an official fore
cast for showery weather and
cooler in the western half of the
belt, all active months adcanving to
new. highs with July 29.00; October,
25.38 and December 25.14, or 28, 38
and 38 points, respectively, above
the previous close. Prices eased off
near mid-session and on renewal of
liquidation. July made a new low
at ?8.62 but new crop months were
better sustained.
Weaknesses in the July position
due to, rather free liquidation of that
month by longs was responsible for
the further decline to new lowj levels
for the day in all months in the
early afternoon. July traded down
to 28.18 or 82 points down from the
early high and 54 points net lower
compared with the previous close.
October dropped to 24.80 and Decem
ber, 24.60 or 54 to 58 points down
from the early highs but only 15 to
20 under yesterday's close. The weak
ness in the July position was at
tributed to fears of improvement in
crop prospects due to better weather.

GRAIN
CHICAGO (Thursday), June 5.
Wheat received good support today
i and despite the bearishness of the
I news the tone of the market was
firm most of the time. Overnight
longs sold wheat at the start be-
I cause of the showery weather over
I the Northwest. This caused quite a
dip in prices. Commission houses
bought and turned the trend up
ward awain. Locals persisted in go
ing out of wheat bought yesterday
and another break resulted. Again
commission house buying developed
and this, together with the strength
in Minnieapolis and Winnipeg, gave
1 the market sufficient stimulus to
recover the early decline. A little
profit taking caused the advance to
halt. The Northwest is in need of
more moisture but recent showers
will at least afford temporary re
lief. A better inquiry was reported
for wheat from exporters, but mills
continue to take hold sparingly.
Primary receipts continue to run
smaller than last year.
Corn followed the trend of wheat.
Trade was not large. Locals were
bearish owing to the improved
weather for the crop, but as usual
support was sufficient to absorb the
offerings. Cash corn was firm. Re
ceipts are holding up well and con
signment notices are holding up.
Shipping demand was light.
Oats led all grains in strength.
Cash oats were up l-4@l-2 cent in
premium and this gave speculators
the necessary tencouragement. Ship
ping sales were moderate as ship
pers are afraid of being unable to
replace the oats sale and therefore
are limiting their offers.
Provisions were lower. Liquida
tion on the decline in hogs was a de
pressing factor.
Wheat closed 5-8 to 1 cent lower.
Buying power gave out when the
local longs attempted to take profits.
July, 1.04 1-4 to 1-8;. September,
1.05 7-8 to 1.06; December 1.08 5-8.
Corn closed unchanged to 3-8
lower. July 77 1-8 to 77&1-8; Sep
tember 76 7-8 to 3-4; December, 69 3-8.
Oats were 1-8 to 1 1-8 cents higher.
July, 46 3-8 to 1-4; September, 40 1-4;
December 41 3-4.
Lard closed 5 to 7 1-2 cents lower,
arid bellies 5 to 10 lower. No trade
in ribs.
Local cas hsales were 26,000 bush
els of wheat; 53,000 bushels of corn;
21,000 bushels of oats, and 5,000
bushels of barley. The Seaboard re
ported 200,000 bushels of wheat taken
for export.

MISS RUTHERFORD
PRAISES DAVIS IN
REUNION SPEECH
MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 4.—(By
the Associated Press.) —“The south
learned its constitutional law from
Madison and Jeffgrson—not from
Hamilton and Marshall,” Miss Mil
dred Lewis Rutherford, of Athens,
Ga., historian general of the Con
federatde Southern Memorial asso
ciation, said in an address today be
fore the reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans, in wh/h she
paid tribute to Jefferson Davis and
defended the action of those respon
sible for secession in 1861 as based
on the principle of state and con
stitutional rights.
“Secession was regarded as a con
stitutional remedy in 1861 for pre
serving the union,” Miss Rutherford
said. “They believed a separate Con
federacy with their constitutional
rights retained would be better than
a so-called union with their rights
trampled upon and ignored or, far
worse, held together by physical
force.
“With a monument to be unveiled
to him June 7, at his, birthplace, and
his carved face soon to be revealed
on the greatest monument in the
world at Stone Mountain, Jefferson
Davis, a living martyr for so many
years, will stand, and the cause for
which he stood will stand, vindicat
ed in the eyes of the world,” Miss
Rutherford said, in recounting the
trials of Davis.
Historians for the most part, Miss
Rutherford said, had failed to show
the southern statesman in his true
light. Davis, she said, was the vic
tim o' persecution and charged that
some of his critics had endeavored
to make him a “scape-goat to cover
the wrongdoings of others.” ■
Miss Rutherford took issue with
statements madfe by Pollard, of Vir
ginia, in his history of Davis, which,
she declared, was “unfair” and as
serted that other historians toon
their cue from him.
The first historian to show Davis
m his true light, she said, was a
Boston man.
Jefferson Davis bent to none''but
God. Miss Rutherford said. “It was
impossible to ask for pardon, for he
had only done his duty as he con
scientiously saw it. He died un
changed, standing like a mast when
a ship goes down. Brave, uncon
querable hero! No one can touch
tiie character of Jefferson Davis
morally. He was pure in speech, pure
in life and pure in religious pro
fessions. His mistakes were of the
head, not of the heart.
“May the time soon come when
the world shall understand him —
the courteous gentleman, the true
man, the brave soldier, the great
statesman, the Christian hero—a
typicai representative of the old
south.”
MRS. HARROLD EXTENDS
GREETINGS OF THE U. D. C.
MEMPHIS, Tenn.,, June 4.—“ East
and west from the Father of Waters,
north and south of the Mason and
Dixon Line, we are one today/ Mrs.
Frank Harrold, of Americus, Ga.,
president-general of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, said
in an address of greeting at the open
ing session today of the 34th annual
reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans. “We are one in the proud
possession of a glorious past, one in
a resolute purpose to meet the duties
of the hour and one in an abiding
faith in the future of our beloved
country.
“For one land, one people, one
flag and one destiny, let us reverently
thank the God of our fathers.” •
Mrs .Harrold greeted the old sol
diers on behalf of the 100,000 mem
bers of her organization.
"We are daughters of the Confeder
acy to preserve in loving remem
brance the memory of those who
gave their lives for the Confederacy;
to protect their last resting places
from neglect and obliteration; to
care for the needy ones who still
abide with us; to guard the truths of
history; to educate worthy young peo
ple who are descendants of Confeder
ate veterans, and lastly, by mutual
study and research, to keep alive for
many years a distinctly southern
womanhood.
“As daughters of the Confederacy
we realize that we have entrusted to
our care a charge so sacred that it
is only by approaching it with rever
ence that we can faithfully fulfill it.
That task is the perpetuation of the
glorious spirit which animated our
fathers and mothers in the dark days
of the sixties. To keep alive for our
childern and our qhildrpn’s children
the inspiration which made of the
Confederacy a cause so transcendent
ly heroic that it became the synonym
of chivalry, the reflection of honor
and turned inevitably defeat into the
proudest heritage mankind ever gave
to future generations.
"When women ufte banded together
in loyalty and love, not only to com
memorate the past but to build a new
south where the old south sacrificed,
no one can help feeling that such
an organization has an important
part in the life of our country.
“And, although we are holding
aloft the principles of our Confeder
ate fathers, yet. we are thrilled when
we talk of the rededication on the
part of all of us to the great Ration
which we serve in common.”

FORECAST AS G. 0. P. PLATFORM
“Now You See It and Now You Don’t” Is Slogan of Re
publican Party’s Ambidextrous Scribes,
Josephus Daniels Says
BY JOSEI’HI S DANIELS
RALEIGH, N. C., May 31.—The
prognosticators and politicians who
dope it all out before the national
conventions have quit figuring out
what will happen at Cleveland whej|
the Republican hosts meet to ratify
what has already been determined
upon. There’s about as much in
terest in that convention as there
is expectations in a last year’s bird’s
nest. The nomination for president
has gone to Coolidge by default.
Nobody else wanted the nomination
except Hiram Johnson and in No
vember he will thank his stars he
didn’t get it.
Shortly Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Mel
lon and Mr. Butler (that’s the trium
virate administering upon the ef
fects of the once mighty Republican
party organization) will hold a meet
ing some night in the White House
and select a candidate for vice presi
dent and send his name to Cleve
land for ratification. They are not
quite agreed whether it is better to
take the so-called Progressive, mem
ber of the Farm bloc, or a member
of the Legion. It will depend upon
which vote is feared most. If the
farmers seem most antagonistic
they will camouflage a westerner
and acclaim him as the dirt farmer,
who will bring prosperity to the
farmers—something they haven’t en
joyed under Harding or Coolidge.
Or, if the 4,500,000 boys are on the
rampage and threaten to rush the
barrage, they may take a soldier
who thinks he can persuade the war
riors that, when they ask for 'bread,
they really prefer a stone in the
shape of a veto.
Ratification Either Way
But whichever name the White
House sends to Cleveland will be
promptly ratified, even if the bosses
permit a sham battle by permitting
compliments to favorite sons before
the orders are sent down. I ven
ture one prediction. Mr. Coolidge
will not promise to let the vice presi
dent, in case he is elected, be a
member of the cabinet. He would
give the electoral vote of Vermont
(the only state he has in his vest
pocket) if he had never held a seat
in Harding’s cabinet. Having held
such a seat he must have known
about Teapot Dome, etc., etc., un
less he was deaf.
The only thing that causes concern
in Republican platform-writing cir
cles just now is how to judiciously
and discriminately “point witli
pride.” Ambidextrous writers are
now engaged in that task of mak
ing looking two ways at once popu
lar and wise. Can tney do it? Here
are two planks already drafted, ready
to be submitted:
We point with pride to the world
statesmanship of Warren G. Hard
ing and Calvin Coolidge, who, in
order to secure world betterment,
recommended the entrance of the
United States into the World Court
set up by the League of Nations.
That will please the church and
business men and labor and other
organizations favoring America’s
helping to stabilize the world.
The second plank will read:
More Pointing With Pride
“We point with pride to the wis
dom and courage of Henry Cabot
Lodge and Brandegee and other
patriots who prevented the entrance
of the United States into the World
Court, a veneered super-state into
which Woodrow Wilson attempted
to inveigle the United States and
make it subservient to the decrees
of European nations.”
By adopting these two resolutions,
the Cleveland platform svill catch
the votcers “a-coming and a-going,”
everybody will be satisfied and an
equal appeal fr support can be
made to those who favor peace and
those who love war. Isn’t it a great
stunt? But it is not only on the
world court, proposition that plat
form makers have a delightful op
portunity to straddle. Here is the
next way they are writing planks:
“We point with pride to the cour
ageous veto of Calvin Coolidge, who
refused to permit the 4,500,000 sol
diers and sailors go Qver the top in
the raid upon the federal treasury
for which they were mobilized.”
That is a winning plank, surely.
It will catch every profiteer and
slacker from the Golden Gate to
Hell Gate. Also a large number of
other people who believe no conj
pensatian ought to be .voted to men
who were paid $37.50 a month to put
their lives in jeopardy in a war for
humanity. But the Cleveland con
vention must take cognizance of the
Legion boys and others who did not
forget the debt due to the men
under arms. Therefore, the plank
will be ready;
“We point with pride to the cour
ageous course of the Republican
members of Congress who stood ’ey
the soldiers and sailors and o issed
the bonus bill over the unwise and
uripaipiotic ;.ct of Calvin Coolidge,
who was more interested in reduc
ing the taxes on big incomes than in
recognition of the 4,500,000 soldiers
and sailors.”
The Tjitj Jap Planks
“Now vo: see it and now you
don’t.” The voters whe would n>t
Le satisfied with such declarations
would indeed be har.l to please. Th°
si eakers, having regard to the views
in a particular locality, could em
phasize the plank that would get
the m.Oft votes. For example, when
a spell-binder ea.- speaking to men
cf the leg’on he would emphasize
the plank praising the senatots who
voted to override the veto. When
speaking to men known to be op
'IOBO- to the compel.s t tiu i. .he praise
of Coolidge could be stressed. The
platform offers other open doors for
being all things to all men. F r
example:
‘We point with pride to the po
sition of Coolidge and Hughes
against the bill excluding all Japa
nese.
And
“We point with pride to the bill
in congress, engineered by the Re
publicans, to exclude all Japanese."
It would be very unreasonable
voters who could not find something
to be pleased with, and something
to shout over.
Teapot Dome, Too
That is the character of the plat
form the Republicans must adopt
! at Cleveland if they put in their
platform what the party has done
at Washington. But there will be
other ways to appeal for votes of
people holding opposite views—by
giving the promise to the ear and
breaking it to the hope! For ex
ample -
"We ask for votes because Daugh
erty was made to resign^from the
cabinet,” and, “We ask for votes
because we elected Daugherty as a
delegate at large to the Republican
national convention.”
Also —
"We are entitled to credit because
the naval oil reserves were trans
ferred to Doheny and Sinclair aft
er .SIOO,OOO in notes went to Fall,
secretary of the interior,” and, “We
| ask for commendation because coun
sel was employed to prosecute any
body guilty of the crime of destroy
ing the naval reserve.”
To the farmers: “We have ar
ranged to lend you money. There
fore, vote for us. As long as you
can borrow money, why worry
about the price of your crops or a
European market?”
To the men of labor: "We have
held fast to the Esch-Cummins act
and have prevented the pitfalls of
the Howell-Barkley measure. Trust
us.” •
Fine "Straddlers” Enlisted
Tnose people who say there will
be no interest at the Cleveland con
vention have overlooked the possi
bilities of writing a platfo.-m that
will “look two ways for Sunday,”
and catch ’em coming and going.
It is going to take tight repe walk
ing skill to frame a platform along
the lines sketched abive without
rne crudity and the contradictious
contained in the planks aheady
drawn. But there are some fine pen
men and finer straddlers who are
devoting themselves to the art of
juggling with words. Th;y will
manage i* with all the skt.l ot the
contortionist. And what’s more: The
thick and thin party men who still
believe G. O. P. does not mean
Guilty Oil Party, will find a reason
for swallowing the whole thing.
It may require a drink to get it
down. What will the concoction be?
I understand that Simeon Fess and
Nicholas Muyray Butler, the two
coliege officials remaining in the
party of straddle, are collaborating
on a plank that will give the di
rections for a drink that will suit
the brewery men and not offend
the taste of Pinchot and the tem
perance forces.

AFTER LONG JUMP
SHANGHAI, June 4.—(By the As
sociated Press.) The American
round-world aerial expedition, pur
sued by the ill luck which robbed
it of its flag plane, the Seattle, to
gether with the commander and his
mechanician. Major Frederick Mar
tin and Sergeant Alva Harvey, again
was divided today and once again
it was the flag plane which was the
laggard.
Major Martin experienced consid
erable difficulty at several stages of
the trip north from California, be
ing forced down by engine trouble
on the first day’s flight and suffer
ing a number of mishaps which first
put him far behind the other fliers
and then culminated in the wreck
of his plane against a mountain in
Alaska.
Last Monday the plane "Chicago,”
which succeeded the Seattle in flag
honors, experienced engine trouble
on the flight from Kushimoto south
to Kagoshima, Japan, which result
ed in a forced landing. Today the
same refractory engine—a new one
installed at Kasumigaura while the
fliers stopped for a few days at that
Japanese naval aviation base—was
unable to raise the machine from
the waters of Kagoshima harbor.
The other two planes went on
without it. The expectation here is
that the Chicago, with Lieutenant
I>owell H. Smith, now commander of
the flight, and his mechanician,
Lieutenant Leslie P. Arnold, will
make the 500-mile jump across the
China sea to this port tomorrow if
the weather permits, and the engine
can be reduced to q. more tractable
condition by that time.
The arrival of the two planes here
at 3:05 o’clock this afternoon under
the pilotage of Lieutenants Leigh
Wade and Eric Nelson, with Ser
geant A. M. Ogden and Lieutenant
John Harrington as mechanicians,
was dramatic. Great throngs, rang
ing in personnel from coolies to
high Chinese functionaries, greeted
the visitors as they swooped down
off Black Point, near the mouth of
the Whangpoo river, on which this
city is loctaed.
