NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—The census report on sup
ple and distribution for the month of
June hardly showed as great a filing off
in domestic mill consumption as some
had anticipated, and after opening steady
at an advance of two to six points, the
cotton muiket sold up another point or
wto in response to relatively steady ca
hies and reports of continued dry weath
er in the southwest. The official fote
cast for cloudy conditions in AiKansas
and partly cloudy in east Texas en
couraged some selling later, however,
nnd prices eased off toward the end of
the first hour with new crop months
selling three or four points net lower.
ICastern belt details in the weekly
TV Oil tiler report proved generally favor
able and the market was unsettled dur
ing the afternoon vith active months
tailing about three to five points net
lower.

good cables and unexpected large con
sumption by American mills during June
put cotton five to six points up at the
opening today. The market was very
steady in the early trading but in

point.
The meeting weather reports ere
considered favorable and resulted in a
selling wave which by noon put prices
four to six points under yesterday's
close.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York. —New Haven today was
again the feature of the stock maVket,
declining on heavy dealings to 54 1-4,
against its previous low record of 55 1-2.
Now Yc-rk, Westchester and Boston
bonds, guaranteed by New Haven, lost a
point. Selling of New Haven had the
marks of a bear raid, but was nonethe
less the effective. Many high grade as
well as obscure issues fell below yester
day's prices, but most of the leaders
held firm. Canadian Pacific, Wabash,
Toledo, St. TTouis and Western and Mis
souri. Kansas and Texas made new low
records.
Bonds were irregular.
Support lor New Haven in the after
noon produced a rally in which earlier
losses were generally recovered. The

over 2 points. The market weakened
again, however on selling of Baltimore

Segregation in
Louisville
Several hundred Louisville negroes re
cently lit Id what they are pleased to call
au "indignation meeting They ale
indignant over the passage of the recent
segi egation ordinance oy the genera!
council, and their anger was lumen.eu
by a while speaker named Plot. . E.
bplngarn, of New York. Mnd a negro
educator numed William Dickens, ot Jal
touega Codege, who told them they bad
been dlscrlmlmetcd against and that me
segregation measure robs them us their
nglus to compete ettuaily with whit*
people. in closing his remarks Prof,
spingarn told his audience that etery
negro man and woman who does not
contribute to a legal fight to annul tne
ordinance is a "traitor.”
lTof. ,Splngarn's peroration was re
ceived with roars of applause and several
negroes supplemented their fervor with
a pledge to donate a sum of money to
make a legal fight on the segregation
ordinance. More might have followed
suit had not Prof. Spingarn made an un
fortunate allusion "a colored ghetto"
which scented to mystify some of 111*
heaters to the extent tliai ttiey preferred
to withhold their contributions until they
found out what a "ghetto” is.
The framers of the segragßliori ordi
nance expected art attack upon Its valid
ity. The same steps were taken in
Baltimore and Norfolk, Va., when similar
ordinances were passed there. Care wa*
taken, however, In the preparation of the
Louisville ordinance to avoid the mis
takes made in the Baltimore and Nor
folk measures which subjected them to
annulment on the grounds of unconstl
tuUonallty and caused them to he re
drawn In their amended form they sr«
now quite Invulnerable, and the attack*
of the negroes on their validity have
ceased. The local ordinance has limit of
Hie defects which caused the redrawing
of the two measure* mentioned and is
believed to be Impregnable ugidusi as
sault.
The negro Is not deprived of any
rights by the Loulslvllle segregation or
dinance. If be could be made to view
It in the right light it is an advantage,
because (t enables him to help liltrmel!
and places him In a poaltlon to merit the
respect and help of the white man far
more than if lie Insisted upon forcing
himself Into white territory merely to lie
mingling with "white folks." The origi

COST OF' INEFFICIENCY
Inefficiency is «one of the prime
causes of the high cost of living. If
you pay a man 40 cents and hour for
his work and he loafs away two hours
a day. which many do, you actually
pay him $3.20 for $2.40 worth of work
And then to make up the loss you
charge the SO cents to somebody else,
and he passes over the debit to other
people. Thus one faithless man
spreads wide the loss, while every
body recoups by charging him more
for his goods and for his time.
While shiftless work may make a
demand for more work, It Is at tlie ex-

pense of everybody else, including th«
worker. This is plain as a practical
matter, hut as a moral question it is
easily discernible. Inefficiency is
dishonest, and dishonesty is costly. If
a man is paid for work which
ho doesn't do, there is a loss
that the man himself must make good
in some way. He may not pay back
that day, but he will some day in
some way, or God doesn’t run the
world. If a man wastes the time for
which he is paid, and thinks he makes
by it, lie is a fool.—Ohio State Jour

WAR ON ’AFFINITIES
The seductive affinity must go. Di
vorces must decrease. Alimony must in
crease. The slice of husband’s salary
which goes for taxicab rides, theater
parties and late suppers must he short
ened. while the portion fear wife and
youngsters must ho lengthened.
This is the ukase of some of the most
prominent women in San Francisco, lead
ers in political, social and club work. Tt
is the foundation of “the home sacred"
and the militant plank on which the
newest of new women's organizations*
an “affinity smashing club,” is to fm
constructed. To lessen the number of
divorces in Kan Francisco and to protect
(lie wives and mothers from the bewitch
ing charms of “affinities,” the member.'*
of “tho home sacred” will bend every
energy. Some of its members will at
tend every divorce case in court.. —San
