The reason there will not be more duck
boats in the race is due to a misunder-
standing between the Savannah Duck
Boat Outing Club and the sailing COM
mittee of the Savannah Yacht Club. It
seems that the duck boat men offered
rules for the regulation Of the race which
were adopted but which were afterwards
changed so as to admit boats with heavy
keels, the duck boat club
people having asked that no
heavy keels be allowed The reason for
this as explained by Mr.. David G. Bar
row, a leading member of the Duck Boat
Club is that the members have light keels
to their boats and do not care to change
them for heavier ones, as the heavy keelS
wear and tear the boats to their injury

No New Features of Importance De-
Welcomed Yesterday.


New York. June 12-No new features
of Importance developed in the cotton sit
uation to-day. The trading was on a
small scale and largely of local charac-
ter, and confined principally to traders
evening up their contracts over Sunday.
The market was small and narrow, and
in consequence the fluctuations were con-
fined within narrow limits, and on the
whole unimportant. The Liverpool mar
kets developed further weakness. CABLES
reported spot cotton there very dull, with
prices easy at lilo decline. to the basis of
1921 for middling Even at this conces-
sion there was limited demand, the total
sales being only 1900 bales, OF which 2lO0
bales were of American cotton. The mar
ket here for futures opened quiet, with
prices unchanged, to q point lower and
closed steady at a net decline OF 1-6ld from
last nights prices.
These advicos with the official weather
map showing much warmer weather all
over the south. with light showers In Cen
trail Texas, Tennessee and Georgia, led to
a renewed liquidation and the market
opened easy a to points decline.
The selling pressure soon subsidized, how
over, and the loss was later recovered on
buying by traders and covering OF shorts
the market finally closing steady at last
nights prices. Spot cotton here, and at
The south ruled quiet and steady. and In
fair demand, with prices unchanged from
yesterday. The Financial Chronicle, in it's
weekly crop summary. states that it's adj
vices are, on the whole, of a more satis-
factory character. While the plant is
backward generally as a result of low
temperature at night the weather has
latteriy turned warmer and Improvement
Is reported from many localities Rain
has fallen in most sections during the
week, but in some portions of the gulf
states, where the precipitation has been
hight, moisture is needed In South Texas
early cotton is said to be frulting nicely,
but some damage by lice and other cotton
pests is reported from other points
