men Of the city engage in a rough
and tumble fight in their efforts to
get near the ring and dump their cot
ton on an overloaded market. Prices
tumbled downward 10 and 20 points

were ripped. and the chairs and stools
about the ring became useless articles

from the ring that it could be heard
for blocks above the noise of traffic
