NEW YORK, May 31.-rhere was a surfeft of news on which to base new ven lures in cotton today, but the business done reflected contracting rather than broadening speculation.

The open ing was quiet and firm with prices polnts lower to ] points higher. Liquidation Of near months caused the decline; the Tar months were supported by a few commits sion houses and restless shorts; Follow ly on increased demand from the bear side and decrea4ed offerings. July advanced more rapidly than the rest of the list, but at no time was there any evidence or support from the clique After the first hour prices eased of several points under selling for profits. by early buy CTS. most of whom were disturbed by ru, mors that the acreage increase would reach fully 10 per cent.

At noon the crop report showing an average con dition of Is was received. showing the years. The acreage increase was given as s.3 per cent. While the acreage figures were regarded as bearish. the crop con- ditiOn was disappoi;fmnt and led to active buying Of q covering nature. On this support, the market shot up 70 points and for. a time showed pronounced strength. Tben selling for reaction and brisk profit taking sent prices on agalp. stiQ later the market was steady on bad crop reports and prices sriffened several points.

EDITOR BANIsHED FROM MANILA.
He Published ScandaIous ArtfcIes Re.
3aEdi1,ac n tn

He Published ScandaIOus Articles Re-
gardfng Captain of the Port.
dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
Gen. Macarthur has ordered the deporta-
ton to the United States of George T. Rice,
editor Of the Daily Bulletin, a marine jour-
nal. Rice will sail on the Pennsylvania
next Monday. The order characterizes him
as a dangerous incendiary and a menace
to the military situation"
Rice's offense was the publication Of al
legations that Lieut.. Commander William
Braunersreuther. captain Of the port, had
charged excessive pilotage and moorage
fees percentage of which he had kept
for himself.
The report Of Major Mills, inspector gen.
eral who investigated the allegations, COM
pleteiy exonerated the captain Of the port
and indicted the editor and the merchants
who had given him Information and who
had been misled by figuring the rates upon
the net instead of the gross tonnage, the
latter being specified under the Spanish law
Rice was summoned to the office of the
governor generals secretary and was called
upon to promise that he would publish no
more such articles. He declined to give
such pledge, but insisted that the article
was truthful. and took up defiant atti-
tude when threatened with deportation.
The deportation order was then issued,
and Rice Is now awaiting the departure Of
the Pennsylvania. When seen in Jail today
he reiterated his statement that the charges
were true, and declared that in any event.
the severity Of the sentence was unmerited.
Rice came originally from Red Wing,
MIMI, and was formerly a member of the
Minnesota volunteers.
