BRIDGE IN WALL STREET.

BRIDGE IN WALL STREET.
A stock broker. whose office is not
far from the exchange, is an enthusi-
astic bridge whist player, and by an
arrangement with friends who are
equally fond of the game interesting
bridge sessions took place at his Of
flee every day. after business hours,
for several weeks. A strict record was
kept of the winnings and losses in the
game, which began modestly with one
cent a point and gradually advanced to
a much higher figure, but no money
ever changed hands. The closing ses-
sion for the season was held last week,
and when the books We're balanced it
was found that the accounts We're so
nearly alike that no more than few
dollars fell to the plus men, and the
amount was promptly sent to a non
sectaTian institution, with this note

TO RAISE THE ASSOUAN DAM.
Sir William Garston has recon-
mended that the great dam at Assou-
an, Egypt, be raised nearly twenty
three feet, which would more than
double the present water supply. The
dam now supplies about quarter of
the water which eventually will be
needed in Egypt. With the proposed
enlargement about $4,000 acres of land
would be brought under cultivation.
The change would cost about $780,
600. Since the establishment of the
Assouan reservoir the sale value of
lands already prodived with per-
ennial irrigation has increased by
about 1922, 100000 and this figure, when
canals now under construction are
completed. will be increased approx
mately 140,O0O0OO. In addition to this
the cotton crop. which last year
amounted to $40 100000, has been as

H. & B. Beer. Cotton Letter

NDS NotS Niic tO V. AD6TCTOH1Dle
 Co.,, 32 Commerce Street, Mont
 gomery, Ala.)
 New Orleans, La, June 1.-The mar Ret seems to have settled around 12 deliveries, which level is about $2 per bale lower than the highest touched thus far this season. The easier ten dency of cotton is due to the more fa- first half of June. Strange as it may appear, however, spinners do not seem anxious to buy spot cotton at Liver pool to any extent. preferring to fall back on their reserves ana to contract for new crop cotton on the basis of about 10 points on October, or about IF Is for middlinR. It Is for this req son that new crop deliveries are sell the July position being held within fraction of the value of old crop mid ding. Consumers are hopeful that the present spell of good weather will con tinue for such length of time as to enable farmers to put the fields and their crops in good condition. and by reason of a possible further improve ment in the condition of the plant they look for prices to decline. While the planter would welcome a further stay of such weather as we are now having in the belt In order that they might clean their crops. it is not aIcill likely that they would assist in a movement to bring about lower range of values for the reason that crop prospects are so bad in some sections that the farm CTS have but little hope of making three fourths of a full crop. even if perfect weather be the rule for the bal ance of the season. Shorts however, are determined to have a say in the matter since the consumer Is as much interested in the market as Is the pro- ducer. For the immediate future there Is some uncertainty as to probable course of the market. Semi-monthly crop reports will probably slow some improvement over the outlook of two weeks ago. and. according tQ.a report which gained currency today, and which has been confirmed by private cable from the English market, Liver pool intends to ship about 10000 bales of cotton to New York for delivery on July contracts in the Northern market. The July deal will soon be brought to a head and one or the other of the two factions, the bull or the bear, will make an effort to secure control of the market. The bulls appear to have ev- cry confidence in their position, and to that end are standing by their guns. Whatever be the outcome of develop ments in the July deal, they cannot have any lasting effect upon the mar ket which, when the atmosphere clears will be governed by weather and crop conditions.
 By that time the critical period for the crop will have been arrived at and another crop scare can be expected.
 Yours truly,
