NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-The government

been fairly steady with very little change

was construed bullishly indicating a crop
OF only $685. GOO bales and the market held
quite steady until 1 o'clock when large sell
Ing orders were received from New Orleans.
These heavy offerings appearing on market

decided effect. The January option dropped
from 1927 to $500, while March fell from
$7.44 to $7.16, these being the lowest prices on
the present crop. The decline was attended
by unusual excitement. The pit was full
of frightened traders, all having more or
less urgent orders to SELL Subsequently the
selling movement was exhausted and stead
Ter feeling ensued, during which prices re-
covered good part of the loss Closing

SANTA MONICA,
ELABORATE PREPARATIONS FOR THE
SOUTHERN TENNIS Tour
NAMENT.

The eleventh annual tournament OF the
Southern California Lawn Tennis Ass ocia ton
which commences at Santa Monica Cal, Mon
day, August a. at 2 O'Clock, will undoubtedly
be one of the most interes ting of the associa-
ton tournaments.
The events will be all comers' singles, all
comers' dou bles, mixed doubles and ladies'
singles. The time for the closing of entries in
the all corners singles has been fixed for Mon
day at P. NJ, with play commencing imme-
diately thereafter. The other events will be
posted from time to time on the association
bulletin boards.
The tournament will be played on the courts
of the Casino, which have been completely
overhauled and repaired, the one Immediately
in front of the grand stand being entirely re-
laid with cement and made the finest couH
in the State by long odds, so the experts claim
who have seen it.
Almost every town In Southern California
from Santa Barbara 10 the southern line will
De represented with especially strong dele
and Santa Monica.
The sectional rivalry has already become in
tense, with Pasadena backing Messrs. Pitcher
and Freeman, Los Angeles Art EBumiller the
present champion, Mr.. Welcolm and A. c.
Way. Santa Barbara has w. Alexander to be
proud of and Santa Monica Messrs. D. d. Aeker
and w. E. Lester, who says he is going to win
one of the cups for charming little Miss Lester
1t looks like close race in the all comers'
singles between Pitcher, Freeman, Alexander
and Lester as to who Will endeavor to wrest
the championship from the well-known STAN
ford athlete, Art Bumiller. Whoever he will
be, he will have to play remarkably good
game to defeat the cham pion, for not only is
he the quintessence of agility and grace, but
the personihcation OF coolness, observation-disclosures
and boasts exceeding accuracy. He plays
strong net game, with ability to head off lob
bing tactics.
In the doubles Pitcher and Freeman, who
have won the cups twice and will have to de-
fend them this time again. will undoubtedly
have strong opposition. If they succeed the
cups become their personal property.
In the ladies' singles Miss Marion Jones, the
charming daughter of Senator ]. P. Jones, who
last year carried away the State champion
ship and has twice won it in succession in the
South, will in all probability win it again
However, If Miss Grace GilIiland of Riverside
enters the event it will make match between
the ladies worth a journey from the Golden
Gate to witness. They both play a strong,
graceful anne, have command of a superb
net game and altogetherplay tennis of high
order of merit
Miss Barlow-Massacs of England, who is visit
ing her sister, Mrs. Pedley, who is summering
al Santa Monica, has the reputation of being a
good tennis player and will probably compete
with the others mentioned.
In the mixed doubles Mrs. w. E. Lester and
Miss Marion Jones are looked upon as probable
winners.
There will be at least thirty players contest
ing with probably ten additional by COM
mencement of play.
A grand ball will be the chief social feature
OF the tournament.
