selling on favorable weather news at
the opening of the cotton market today.
After starting at a decline of two to
five points active months sold about five
to eight points lower but leading spot
interests were again good buyers of
July which soon steadied up to within a
point of yesterday's final quotations and
the firmness of the near positions help
ed sustain new crop months. The of
ficial forecasts were for fair weather in
the west and further showers in most
sections of the eastern belt.
Reports that the. Oklahoma state de
partment of agriculture estimated a de
crease of 13 per cent in the cotton
acreage of that state this season seem
ed to offset favorable detailed weather
reports and the market was quiet around
midday with prices about two to six
points net lower.
During the early afternoon the mar
ket held steady and about unchanged to
three points higher with July relatively
firm.
Cotton flitres closed steady.

WOULD PROTECT
'DRfjTATES
Amendment to Constitution
Offered in Senate. Prohibits
Transportation of Liquor.
Washington. A constitutional
amendment designed to iprotect
“dry” states was introduced in the
senate today by Senator Dillingham,
of Vermont.
Instead of prohibiting the sale for
beverage purposes of intoxicating li
quor in the United, States as the Hob
son-Sheppard constitutional amend
ment does, the Dillingham amend
ment merely prohibits the transpor
tation into any state for sale or use
for any purpose contrary to the laws
of such states. Its purpose is similar
to the recently enacted Kenyon lows,
but it wduld remove all question as
to the validity of the legislation, em
braced in these measures.

The Mexican delegation refuted the
