eve invite the readers of this paper to look
back during the past four or FIVE years and
note that in this period IRON, COPPER,
COTTON, WHEAT and CORN were selling
under the cost of production
Iron that sold at $500 q ton has since
sold at S315o; copper that in 1886 was around
cents per pound has recently sold at 20 cents;
wheat in Chicago declined to ls cents per
bushel and within two years from that time
sold at SlS5 per bushel; Corn sold as low as
II cents per bushel and later at 40 cents; in the
New York Cotton market the future options of
this staple within the past year sold as low as
cents and under, and at this writing have
sustained an advance of only . cents per
pound IRON nearly tripled in price, as did
Copper, while Wheat increased in value four
times and Corn doubled"
1T seems extremely logical to expect at
least that Cotton, our greatest staple product,
will sell at its average price for the past ten
years, or about 81 cents per pound; moreover
it Is likely this price will be made during the
current otton year. especially in view of the
established certainty that this seasons yield is
very short, and the equally certain fact that
never i'll lllb history VI llle NOIlu Has iile COn-
sumptive demand attained within 80 per cent
of wha. it is at the present time"
at seems reasonable to expect 9 and 10 cent
Cotton next July and august, when the real
pinch of the short crop makes itself felt;
there is more than a possibility that the above
figures will be made BEFORE the coming
Summer in the contract market in New York,
discounting the above factors -

played on the gridiron of the University
Of California. was one of the semi-finals
for the A. A. L. championship, and by
her victory Centerville is now qualified
TO enter the finals. In this morning s
game Centerville had somewhat of an ad-
vantage in weight and to that fact the
score in their favor may be largely at
trbuted.
In the first half Lowells line appeared
weak and showed vulnerable points. Of
which Centerville was ready TO take ad-
vantage. Patterson, Centerville's full
back. and Whipple, who lis a cousin of
Berkeleys football captain, both sue
ceeded in crossing the line for touch
downs. At the beginning OF the second
half Lowell sent i'm Stein as left end.
STEMS tackling was excellent and it was
chiefly due to his able defense that Low

clearly outplayed in the second half.

did run of thirty yards, scored the only
touchdown for his side. The score at the

Heavy going was the order OF the day

Its execution on account of the pasty
mud that made the twenty-five foOtballers
figures in swamp effects. Little end run
ming marked the game. line bucking and
mass plays being resorted to on almost
every occasion. Much fun was furnished
by the unintentional mud revelry, yet both
teams were on the field for business and
that was football
The crowd was none Of the largest, due
TO the counter attraction across the bay
where the University or California and
the University of Oregon were fighting for
supremacy. But for the limited number
of spectators the enthusiasm was OF the
Intense order. Stanford's cry kept airing
ing over the field and at times the Olym-
pics would let loose i'm wild hurrahs.
McNevin Of the Olympics and Leavey did
the back work for the Olympics and they
played with vim and dash going through
Stanfords left tackle and end for big
gains. One thing which the clubmen could
not do successfully yesterday was TO hold
the ball. Fumble after tumble from tne
unstcky fingers Of the Olympics gave the
cardinal many yards of hard-earned
ground.

Stanford lineup and were substituted by

the game and was forced 10 retire from

The touchdowns were divided. one in

part Of the Olympics. Stanford men are
rather disheartened over the result OF the

been anticipated.
