THE NET LOSS SMALL
(By the Associated Press. }


New York, July 1.-THE cotton
market had another sharp break dur
ing the middle session. but after SELL
ing more than $3.50 a bale below
the closing figures yesterday. rallied
on active covering and closed at a net
loss of only 5 q IL points.
Sales were estimated at 100000
bales.
The opening was easy at a decline
of 4 a points under continuation OF
the bear pressure noted on the pre-
vious day but the cables were a shade
better than expected and while the
weather was generally good there was
a moderate demand and with offerings
comparatively light the market soon
after the opening rallied to net adj
vance of about q Z points.
Following this there was a renewal
of weakness based on continued re-
ports of free spot offerings and around
midday the bears became aggressive
forcing declines that caught heavy
stop orders in the hands of wire and
commission houses, and throwing the
general list into confusion. Before
the decline was checked, October had
sold at 1926 and the general list was
80 to 81 points lower.
In the late trading there was active
covering by shorts for over the week
end and the market was firm at the
closing figures.
Receipts at the ports today 17,707
bales against 14.712 last week 1922
last year. For the week estimated
$4,000 bales. gainst 62,249 last week
and 10,51S last year. Today's receipts
at New Orleans 2,196 bales. against

WEST SIDE "BRIDGE APPROACH"
Marginal Railroad Scheme Not in Much
Favor With the sinking Fund

What was once known "a the West street
grab" cropped up again yesterday at a
meeting of the Sinking Fund commission,
when the New York aud New Jersey Bridge
Company applied for a confirmation of its
location of bridge approach along West
street, from the Battery to Fifty ninth
street.
William Sutfern, counsel for the com
pany, in making the application repeatedly
used the term bridge approach and
finally the Mayor and the Comptroller cut
the matter short by declaring that what
was being asked for was not a bridge
approach but a railroad franchise.
You propose To build said Mr.. Grout,
IAN elevated railroad. along the marginal
street on the west side of West street and
If, as you say. there is a law under which
this grant can be given TO you instead Of
upon an application made in the ordinary
way for a franchise ! am sure the law must
he unconstitutional The commission Of
1897 had no right TO report in favor of a
railroad franchise and call 1t "A bridge
approach.
The company was directed to file all
the papers in the case, and the matter was
then referred to the Finance and Dock
departments and the Corporation Counsel
10 investigate and report.
