 Kansas City. Aug. 17.-Boats are again in use to transport persons between the two Kansas Citys, the James Street foot and wagon bridge and the Metropolitan Street Car Companys bridge over the Kansas river having been carried away by the strong current. The river is higher than at any time since the June flood and other structures are in dange. The wreck ed bridges are temporary pile affairs, con- structed hastily two months ago. A fur ther rise is expected as half dozen trfb- utaries to the Kansas west of here are bank full.
 The river has been turbulent for over q week past and the strong current has brought in great quantities of driftwood. The James Street bridge was rsrtly wrecked yesterday. Soon after 1t went out this morning 1t fioated down and took out the street railway bridge, sevaring the main line of communication across the river and carry with it the Kansas City gas main and telephone cable.

China was dpen at low rates for most qualities, but little actual business was transacted. South America bought sparingly.
 Yarns were hrmer. checking the incip- lent business which had begun in some qualities with the result that American cotton was in slightly better demand. The turn over was small.

Borden Says Cotton Mills Closed for
 oT That Reason.

oT That Reason.
 New York. Aug. f-M. c. D. Borden. in commenting today on the closing down of the cotton mills in New England, said that the action of the cotton mill owners was undoubtedly due to the scarcity of cotton supplies and their determination not to buy cotton at the present prices. ,, is.AftlI owners" said he "cannot buy the raw supphisk at 12c a pound and sell the print cloth at 1-4c a yard. By doing 80 they would be losing money and of course such condition of affairs leaves .on3y one course. that Is to close the mills.
 "I think that 1t would be more profita- ble to sell the raw cotton at the going prices than to manufacture into the com mercial article and sell 1t at the present prices Should the present conditions in the raw cotton market continue. there Is no doubt that 1t would cause a serious condition in the print cloth and the textile industry" ;"

PORTLAND, Ore, May 5.-Joe Cans.
the lightweight champion, and his
manager, Al Herford, are not ready to

of the champion He appears to be well
over the 140-pound mark, but claims he
can make the lightweight limit, if nee
essary.
We tried for a long time to get a
fight with Britt said Herford, land
ne refused to discuss the matter Now
he may wait on US while. He may not
expect TO do the debating.
we have May date with Willie Fitz-
gerald in San Francisco after Cans
meets Tommy Tracey here, and then we
meet the winner of the Rufe Turner
Kid Parker go in Seattle, June 5, and
Buddy King. of Denver. in Butte, Mon.

II know Jeffries is pretty hard game, .
said Corbett, but let me tell you some
thing. The champion knows what a hard
battle I gave him last time, and l guess
he isn't any too sure as to the result of
our twenty-round contest The last time
we met we fought twenty three rounds
before Jefries could hit me a hard blow.
Had the, bout ended at twenty rounds I
would have received the decision and
would have been champion today.
Il don't know whether the bout will
go the limit or not. If it does 1 feel

Lady Reel FLY, and she never faced the
starters flag, and J. B. Haggin gave
$4,000 for the imported Ayrshire-L'Es-
clare colt, which is still maiden.
J. R. & F. p. Keene gave Sc, $50 and
$4,000, respectively. for Futurita ana
Ponca, and while each won a single in
different race neither was anywhere
near even second-class form.
Other big disappointments of the rae
ing season, all OF which are still maid
ems. were: Thunderbolt, cost $13, 600;
Amaryllis, cost $11,5OO; Princelet, $IO,-

imp. Melton Nowbray, $500; Passan,
$4,000, and Water Spirit, $4,000.
All this goes TO show that, even with
the vast Improvement in breeding in the
last few years. buying yearlings for
prospective race horses is still big
lottery. the buyer being as likely to
draw blank as TO secure a prize.
