MORE YARNS OF THE SEA.
Tales of Grisconp's Resignation,
Cunard Increase, Rate Var.

There were more than the usual lot Of
Efoat yesterday concerning the shipping interests
OF this city. First. the sailing to-day OF Bruce
1smay. OF the White Star Line. the Oceanic. TO
attend the meeting Of the directors Of the Interna-
'tional Mercantile Marine Company. next month,
led 10 q revival OF the s.ories that Clement A.
'Griscom TO resign. and there would be several
other changes OF importance in the directorate.
IT IS only a short time since Mr.. Griscom officially
denied that there was any basis for these stories
Among those who mentioned again as being
likely 10 succeed him II he should resign were M
1smay and Robert Bacon.
Il IS known the cunard Line is anxious 70 IN
crease and improve its feet and this was probabI,
the cause OF the story that two steamers were 10
.be rebuilt to replace the Umbria and the Etruria
which. il was said. were 10 be put on the extra
service, to take the places Of the Carpathia and
.ihe Auranfa. The local Cunard Office knew nothing
OF such plans.
The old boyle of a rate war was another ghost
THAT was raised yesterday. The spring schedules

Lines Mediterranean service were made although
there were equally well founded stories that there
was tacit agreement with the other lines to keen
up the rates. Eastbound Storage rates were cut
al around some lime frhe eastbOund steerag q
traffic IS a small factor OF the immigrant business
OF the lines and eastbound rates generally clt
IN the winter. The westbOund Immigrant rates
and the freight rates either way have not been
changed
An error was made when the tramp steamer
.Cyrano reported 10 have sailed from Brest TO
this port. She cleared instead for Mediterranean
port This led 10 the circulation OF story that
she was overdue here week or more.

NEW HIGH RECORDS FOR COTTON.
July Sells at 15.60-Sales Estimated at
100000 Bales.

July cotton sold at 1850 early in the session
yesterday. with all the other active months also
reaching new high records. The advance was
made in spite OF cables rather lower than due
at the time of the local opening slightly heavier
receipts and unsettling news from the Far East.
The market opened easy at unchanged prices to
a decline OF points. and showed further
weakness on the call, but was almost imme-
diately rallied by aggressive bull support. while
the trading, which had been quiet at first be-
came more active as prices worked upward. In
side of twenty minutes the high point OF Mon
day had been passed. and before the end OF the
first hour March had reached 1929. May 1850
and July 1850. these figures representing net
advances OF 10 to 16 points.
At this level the market developed Irregular
lily. prices fiuctuating narrowly for a time. Then
rumors were circulated that there had been
heavy liquidation Of bull accounts in the last
day or two. and soon after noon a selling move
ment set In. which carried prices down sharply.
In the late trading March sold at 10 cents, May
at 1920 and July at 1928 decline from the
best of % to 80 points. and net loss of Is TO IL
points. Just before the close there was renewal
of bull support and partial recovery. with the
market finally steady at net declines ranging
from 20 10 points on the general list. The sales
were estimated at 100000 bales.
