NEW COTTON
New York.—The cotton market was
comparatively quiet early today with
traders waiting for the government re
port due at 1 o’clock. After opening
steady at an advance of 5 po'nts to a
decline of 1 point the market fluctuated
within a range of 6 to 7 points.
A bearish review of eastern belt crop
conditions ny a traveling crop authority
sent the active months about - to 5
points net lower the call but there
was no aggressive pressure and the mar
ket ruled within a point or two of las.
night’s closng figures toward the end
of the first hour. . ..
Trading was very quiet during the
middle of the day. Old crop positions were
relatively steady, ruling 6 or 7 points net
higher on covering whle the new crop
fluctuated within 2 or 3 points of last
right’s closing figures.
The government report, showing a de
crease of 1.3 per cent in acreage and
making the condition 79.6 per cent
against 74.3 last month proved rather
more favorable than expected and was
heavy liquidation which sent
prices L> to 39 points net lower. Spot
houaea were buyers on the decline.
Cotton futures closed steady.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago.—Wheat rose today on ac
count of strength at Liverpool and be
cause of rains which were expected to
delay threshing of the winter crops.
Weakness in coarse grain, however, led
to selling which wiped out all the ad
vance. After opening 1-4 to 5-8 higher
the market gradually settled back to
last night's level.
Plentiful moisture southwest led to a
rush of selling in the corn crowd. The
opening, which was 1-4 to 1 3-8 down,
was followed by an additional fall be
fore any reduction set In.
Oats eased off with corn. Provisions
clung to last night's quotations.
Predictions of fair weather fed- the en
tire belt tended to prevent any decided
upturn in wheat. It closed firm, 1-8 to
1-4 above last nigrt.
Reports of improved eastern demand
helped corn. The close was unsettled,
ranging from 1 1-4 decline to 1-4 ad
vance, compared with last night.

The Olympia, London, to be Scene of 2
Great Boxing Contests-The Carpentier -
Smith and Ritchie-Welsh Bouts
London—Olympic is to be the scene
of the two boxing contests In Eng
land, which come off soon, tt Is the
biggest hall In London, and quite ade
quate for the great International
Horse Show. That has just concluded,
and In the center of the arena Is the
square "ring” In which the world's
lightweight and the European heavy
weight championships will be de
cided.
Willie Ritchie and Freddy Welsh
clash July 7th, and Qunbout Smith
engages George* Carpentier July 15.
Ritchie has captivated the Brit
ishers, just as Gunboat Smith did
before the little man arrived and, of
course, they simply dote 0:1 Welsh
and on Carpentier, in a lesser degee,
so perhaps after all Mr. C. B. Coch
rane will get his money back, and
something In addition for promoting
these two contests, both of which will
be referreed by ''Gene Co.ri,” one of
the straightest and best. When
Ritchie cabled for Corri to act, he
knew he was on sure ground and
there is no better man at the game
on this side of the water.
Wrong End.
We are told that Welsh has got tho
wrong end of the bargain in agreeing
to 135 pounds, at 2 o clock on the day
of the contest. This Is the English
lightweight standard and 2 pounds
over the international weight, but
Ritchie wanted it and he got it. In
fact, Ritchie, as befits a chumpou,
■has got nearly all he wants. So has
Welsh, for lie tells me that the grati
fication of his ambition was greater
than any momentary consideration,
which may be so seeing that he has
collected $50,000 during his last
American tour and has a fine, bounc
ing little daughter way out In Call
ifornia. 1 am’ not surprised that ho
was in an amenable mood When
terms were arranged.
Welsh is as fit as he himselt and
willing helpers can make him. At
his training camp in -South Wales,
hard by his native Pontypridd, he haH
a whole army of sparring partners,
and Jim Driscoll has been lending his
aid to the Welsh boy. If ever a boxer
was fit to fight for honor, glory or
money, Welsh is the man. He only
scaled 135 pounds when he crossed
THROAT BEST
IS T. JJfIIEI
Then the Colonel Makes a Few
Speeches As Test. Told to
Quit For Six Weeks.
New York. —Roosevelt was told by
a throat specialist today that lie
would have to rest six weeks. Then,,
after the colonel had made a few
speeches as a tist, the doctor said lie
would be able to tell more definitely
just what Mr. Roosevelt could do in
the campaign.
“I’ll be able to make some speeches,
all right,” said tht colonel conlident
ly. He agreed that the eix weeks
sentence was preftrable to the four
months rest recently prescribed by
another physician.
“Maybe the doctor will let you be a
candidate fo r governor after all,”
said a questioner.
“Tney won’t have to let me,” ans
wered the colonel. He did not make
it clear jußt what fie meant by this
remark.

on the lmperator and there has been
no weight-reducing process to go
through, it lias been all speed and
muscle-producing work and under tile
invigorating lutluences of his own
native climate Freddie Is absolutely
at lib best.
Disappointed.
He is disappointed that Ritchie
W’oultl not come to the 135 pounds at
ringside, at which Ritchie won the
title, but he Is uot worrying about it.
Nor does he underestimate the oppo
sition. After all wrangling and
twisting between Vernon and Thiery
about lerms, It has been refreshing
to find Welch and Ritchie saying the
sweetest things imaginable about
each other. In fact, If the pair had
been training at 30 miles instead of
300 miles from each other it would
have boon in the natural order of
things that they should spend their
leisure time together. Such is the
expressed reeling at the moment.
They talk and act like wise bovs—
good business rivals.
All that Ritchie says In answer to
queries about his alleged side-stop
ping in America is that he is not so
much to blatnn as some people think.
Welsh hits a similar keynote and says
he is satisfied now that he has got
Ritchie to toe the mark. Why make
recriminations he asks'? And there
you have an epitome of the prevail
ing feeling.
Interest.
Ritchie, who has his brother Henry
Stelfen and Emil Thiery, his manager,
as his constant companions, is train
ing In a northern suburb of London.
Uls camp is on high ground, wherd
the air is good, though he may deem
It wise to switch to the cooler air of
the seaside aa a wind-up. Ween lie
set foot on English soil, he turned
the beam at Hill pounds, but he lius
already shed three-quarter* of the
overplus and has no fear that he will
he dead on the 135 mark at the ap
pointed moment.
The articles which Ritchie signed
within 24 hours of his arrival in Eng
land stipulate for a 20-round contest
and tlie universal opinion here is that
we are to have the lightweight match
of the century. Olympia with Its
thousands of seats will be taxed to
capacity.

The month begun with one of the se
ven's! dPbuth.s ever known in the <>uai
orn portions of the cotton belt. It g eat*
ly retarded growth of early planted cot
ton and delayed the germinal on of late

belt the first week of the month was
excessively wet. This prevented any Im
provement tu the plants and made culti
vation and planting difficult.
Hotter conditions prevailed during the
second week, the plant mak iig good
progress In the eastern and cent*.ft! por
tions of the belt, while the western por
tion had th« most favorable weather lor

and early planted cotton generally was
reported in good condition but Inter
planted was backward and needed vain.
Highly favorable weather continued In
the western part of the belt.
