sistent bull support. After working
up to a net gain of about to II points
the heavy prediction for to-morrow's
receipts at Galveston caused a slight
recession. but the high point was
reached just before the close when
steady bull support forced prices up,
catching stop loss orders on the short
side. The market closed very steady
within a point or two of the top or at
net gain of 1923 points. Sales
were estimated at 100000 bales. 1t
was rumored during the afternoon
that the bulls knew of stop orders
around 10 cents for the new crop
months and meant to uncover them
during the late trading. October,
however. got no higher than 1893. The
near months showed noteworthy
strength with August selling up to
1064c and September 10.23c on light
covering through commission houses.
Galveston receipts for tomorrow are
estimate at $500 to $500 bales against
only 1000 last year, and Houston ex
poets $500 to 600 bales against 5000
last year
The expectation appeared to be that
to-morrow's weekly report would make
bullish showing.

I'VE will sell you two stacks at $1,000
a stack. with $3.50 limit or $500 on
cases or doubles"
II haven't got the time said Gates.
Make it $1,000 stack and $500 limit
$1,000 on doubles and cases."
There was some banter about the
play. Finally the owners of the club
consented and decided to give Gates his
way, and he put $3.50 on the ace to lose
and played $3.50 on the four to the six.
The third turn he won both bets, and
said softly:
Call out the guard, John, the riot is
on"
He played through the first deal with
success A great crowd gathered and
hung over his charlse great that
Gates protested, and only those playing
were allowed near the table. Gates
was $4,000 winner at the end of the deal,
but failed to call the turn on the last
card, and lost $500, quitting the deal
$4,000 winner.
Elated by this. he again wanted to
raise the limit, but the bank declined,
The next deal was no mans battle
first the bank winning and then Gates
winning. At the close Gates was whip
sawed, however, and his checks all
melted
Give me five more stacks" he said,
land pencil I'll dope 'em myself this
time"
Gates held his own in the next deal,
but the next time all the chips went to
the bank. Then it continued until
Gates was $4,000 loser. Then Gates
got mettlesome.
Give me two stacks" he said.
$4,000 a stack, and will have $4,000 or
lose it on the next deal"
After some consultation this was
agreed to and Gates cut loose. For
three hours he bet $500 to $1,000 on
the turn of a card. A split cost him
$500 many a time. He stuck to his
work like a major, however One time
he was $4,000 loser, but finally. after
a deal, he said:
so long until another time" and
got up $4,000 loser
After the stools had been pushed back
the dealer yawned, stretched himself
over the back of his chair, and num-
bled, Hes a pretty tough customer
to deal for. If he had had a deal or
two in his favor he would have hook
ed us for $4,000 as easy as catching a
lake trout with a net"
The Gates party went to it's hotel
joking as happily as it was doing when
it first arrived at the club.
Joseph Yeager, the spectacular
plunger and bookmaker, had a bad
time here for a few moments. Yeager
is fond of Dragging about his ability
to pick winners. Talking with another
bookmaker, he said:
II will bet you $4,000 I can pick
more winners than you can for to-
morrow"
Suppose we should each have the
same number" said this bookmaker.
Then it is a standoff and no one
wins" replied Yeager.
"All right" said the other slowly,
but 1 don't like the $4,000 idea.
will bet you 100000. 1t will take all
my bank roll but l will stand to
double or lose it,
Yeager protested and argued, but
was game, and finally took the card
and carefully marked six horses to win.
The other bookmaker looked at Yea
gers selections and then carefully mark
ed the same six. AS one bookmaker
said:
"All Yeager got was a sweat for
his
