LADY GOLF PLAYERS
National Tournament at Hav-
erford Links.
FOUR TO CONTEST CHAMPIONSHIP.
semihnnlists Are Mrs. sanford, the
Misses Mnckny, Harley and bishop.
Miss Curtis Won Prize For
Long Drive.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE wo.
mems national golf championship tour
nament on the links of the Merton
Cricket club at Haverford has reached
the seminal round with Miss Pauline
Mackay of the Oakley County club,
Miss X. c. Harley, Fall River, and
Miss Georgeanna Bishop, BrOoklawn,
as contestants. Miss Mackay Is to
play Mrs. Sanford, while Miss Harley
meets Miss Bishop.
While the semifnalists were entitled
to their victories, the results were in
the main surprising. Miss Louise Van
derhOef of Ardsley, who had tied for
the qualifying prize and who had dis
posed of Miss Maud X. WhetmOre and
Miss J. A. Carpenter in turn, sue
cumbed to Mrs. Sanford. Miss Mar
garet Curtis. who had been looked
upon as the probable title holder this
year went down to defeat before Miss
Harley. In each of the matches bril-
liancy opposed steadiness, and the lat
ter won. Miss Florence Ayres of Riv-
erton was eliminated from the tourna-
ment by Miss Mackay, and Miss
Frances c. Grascom, the former
champion yielded to Miss Bishops SUI
periorty. thus taking from Philadel-
phia all chances of winning the
championship.
Miss Mackay in her match with Miss
Ayres secured lead of two after
four holes had been played and in
creased this to three in the fifth. Miss
Ayres improved her game and was
only / down at the turn. The pair
tied Mt the seventeenth hole. Miss
Mackay ran down to the eighteenth
and deciding hole for ., while Miss
Ayres finished in 6.
The defeat of Miss Griscom was en-
tirely unexpected. She started out
with a lead, but Mt the sixth hole she
missed an easy putt and thereafter
played n close game. At the ninth
hole she was / down. From this
point Miss Bishop forged ahead and
won on the fifteenth green by up and
to play
In defeating Miss Vonderhoef a
splendid exhibition OF the short game
was given by Mrs. Sanford. The
Orange player was l up at the turn,
and Miss Vanderhoef made plucky
effort to retrieve her laurels; but, miss
ing an approach on the home green,
she lost the hole and the match.
Miss Curtis was responsible for her
own defeat. Her long game was ter
rife ms usual, but erratic In the ex-
treme. Miss Harley, on the other
hand. was very steady and soon had
her opponent apparently in n hopeless
condition. Miss Curtis recovered her
self and was | down at the seven
teenth hole. but could only secure a
half on the eighteenth hole and lost
the match.
Miss Harriet Curtis Of Essex coun-
ty won the trophy offered for driv-
ing, she making 175 yards. Miss
Ayres was second, with 1T3. and Miss
Nanderhoef third. with 1875. Miss bod
was fourteenth on the list, with l3j.

Futures opened steady at an advance

it was freely predicted that July would
make wide decline for the day. At
the opening, however, there was a
good demand for the option and prices
went up by leaps and bounds with the
shorts get ting more and more scared
as each sale of a hundred or two bales
sent values up anywhere from 3 to Is

at its hight and in a few minutes
the price went up to 1880 and threat
ened to go above the Is cent mark.
Some realizing by longs, who have
been quietly picking up July for some
time. sent the price off until about so
points had been lost from the high

all active options. The longs evident

Cotton Letter TO Demere & Ham
mOnd.

New York n. Y, June IL
The cotton market opened irregular,
the near months following the weak
ness in foreign markets only for a brief
period, as shorts began TO bid for July
and August Immediately after the call,
and as there was very scant offerings
prices advanced rapidly. 1t looks now
as though the long promised squeezed
for July was on in good shape. The
late months were bullishly influenced
by the rise in the old crop options. All
during the morning bull support was
vigorous and the feature of the day was
free buying by foreign houses of near
deliveries, for the purpose of receiving
the cotton as soon as the new crop Will
move. The statistical position of the
near months as given by this weeks
Chronicle, indicates a very narrow mar
gin between available supplies and
probably requirements. The insight for
the week $4,000, while the American
supply decreased $1,000, showing an
absorption of 144. 200. The market
closed very steady, and at present in
dications are that the advance is not
over. The reports of boil weevil at
Cuthbert, Ca, is causing some uneasi
ness pending Investigations and con-
firmation.
Liverpool is due to come Is to 80 up

CURRAN & co.
Claim That stocks Are Decreasing
Materially.

New York, June 1.-THE cotton fu-
ture market to-day was rather irregu-
lar, but as a whole quite strong, prices
advancing sharply. The movement in
July was especially strong, attracting
considerable attention. 1t was evil
dent that the stronger interests were
buying the old crop deliveries. The
trade was generally local, but on the
lower levels there was some buying for
the account of Southern interests, and
the spinners representatives were cred
tied with taking on more cotton. The
crop reports generally were quite ia
vorable, however there are some COM
plants of too much moisture. Some of
the enthusiastic claim a crop of 14,000.
900 bales. This, however, was looked
upon as being unjustified. The receipts
were moderate and the statistics at
tracted little attention, every one be-
ing fully aware of the bullish condi-
tons on that score. Stocks are de-
creasing very materially We would
advise taking profits on long cotton on
any sharp advances, believing that it
can be bought back at lower prices.
However. as we stated before in our
recent letters, we are not bearish on
cotton at this time around present
prices, except when sales are made for
quick turns.

quite evident that the short interest in
these options was much larger than
generally estimated. We regard the
advance in the fall options as largely
due to short covering and manipula-

view of getting higher prices to sell on.
We do not think the advance justified
on the present crop outlook, and that
sales on any further advance will prove
profitable in the near future.
In fact there is every evidence to-
day that the weak short interest is
pretty well covered, and that IL will

WARE & LELAND
Say Bears Met Day of Reckoning.


New York, June 11.-This was a very
lively market here to-day and from
New Orleans accounts, an equally live
ly one there. In fact July cotton in
New Orleans advanced about a cent a
pound. 1t has been a long time since
the market has seen the advance that
came to-day. Prices have been driven
way out of their course, and a recovery
is not unnatural. The effort to stem
the tide down would have been as fool
ish as the effort to stop the advance in
January. But now that the market has
turned now that the decline has been
halted, there is only one side to play
The recent rise has been so violent we
would rather take profits now for the
market will collapse as soon as some
of the shorts get in. Then on break
would be good chance to get cotton
cheap again. We believe in taking
profits on this rise. but think the long
side the one to play. Bears have had
a lesson and will not be as relentless
as they have been. They were as drunk
with success as were the bulls at II
cents. The day of reckoning has ar
rived as inevitably now as then.
