IMPROVING COTTON MARKETS
international Federation of spinners
Hopes TO steady Prices and
stop Gambling.

LONDON, July 3.-Charles Wright
MaCara, chairman of the committee of the
International Federation of Master Cotton
Spinners and Manufactures association,
who just returned here from the cotton
spinners congress at Bremen, thinks that
the international organization is within
measurable distance of obtaining its main
bjects-namely, the steadying of prices
the checking of professional gambling op-
erations, the appointment OF commits
sion to investigate the rules of cotton ex-
changes and finally the Improvement Of
the ginning, baling, transport and mar
keting of cotton.
He considers the decision to improve the
marketing, etc, of cotton to be the most
important taken by the Bremen congress.
He estimates that $5.0OO.O0 could be an
nually saved in these items in American
cotton alone and believes that the strong
financial position of the American grow
ers. enabling them to hold their cotton.
will have an important influence in steady
ing prices, and, while Nj. Macara consid-
ers that the desired minimum price, 10
cents. to be exceedingly profitable, nc
thinks that users will not grumble at It.
Finally. NJ NIAGARA. attaches great i'm
portance to the promise of the users of
cotton, that America is prepared to CO.
operate with the European spinners.

effect that the young man shot the woman

RACE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
Speed Contest Between Deutschland
and la Provence, with the
German Leading.

NEW YORK. July 3.--The Hamburg
American line steamer Deutschland. which
started from New York last Thursday
June %, in what was generally regarded
as a transatlantic race with the new
steamer la Provence of the French line,
was reported to the Associated Press to-
night having been in wireless communi-
cation with the station at Browhead, Ire
land at p. m., Greenwich time. when the
vessel was 14O miles to the southwest.
La Provence had not been reported by
wireless telegraphy up TO midnight, New
York time. The Deutschland should arrive
iR Plymouth at about $50. wednesday.
dreenwicff time II X sdoes " wfB havs
made the trip in approximately I'VE days,
fourteen hours and thirty minutes. Its
best eastern voyage. however, was made
in five days. seven hours and thirty-eight
minutes when It averaged 1886 knots an
hour.
The Deutschland had one hour and four
teen minutes advantage over it's arrival at
the start Of the race, having cleared Sandy
Hook bar at II a. m. June 2. La Provence
cleared the bar at 1874 the same day. The
present race grows out of the fact that on
the last eastward voyage when Ia Prov
ence and the Deutschland sailed the same
day the French liner was reported four
hours ahead when the vessel passed The
Lizard.
