When prices went down receipts fell

Said a cotton buyer yesterday: "-Ac-

also stated that accordig to ali indi-
cations it would finally reach sixteen,

Mr.. Walter Parker'S Estimate.
On December ., before the govern

made, the following appeared in the
New York Commercial:
Walter A. Parker. Of Parker Bros.
& Co, of Raleigh, n. c.. estimates the
crop at 1O,415,0OO bales, including
liters and repacks, which he puts at
100000 bales. He says North Caro-
lima will yield 100000 bales and South
Carolina 1.125,OOO bales. lie has
never seer a crop picked. ginncd and
nearly sold as early as this one. What
cotton being helu is in strong hands
and the planters can hold the remaind-
er for higher prices, if they so desire
Mr.. Parker compiled his figures
early in October and, notwithstanding
the criticism, he stuck by them. He
has been a close student of cotton.
During last December, when cotton
was selling locally for 8 81 cents he
predicted IL cent cotton, ere the new
crop was available. In September
he predicted fifteen cent cotton D-
fore the new year. and he SAYS now
that it will reach sixteen cents if not
more, for the new crop.

Still the bids come for the Jeffries-

awarding the contest to Jack Gleason

ers the country over have offered the
tidy little sum Of 100000 and. if the

or trebled before the time limit expires
Early last night it looked as If the
amount offered would have to remain

Idaho, saved such a calamity by COM
ing to bat with a modest offer of $125,-
600. The Idaho capital might just as
well have made it billion and broken
into the John w Gates class. It would
have cost no more, for IL the reports
from the east are to be credited the
battle already has been awarded to
Jimmy Coffroth, who was forced into a
partnership with Jack Gleason for this
one fight.
OF the many promoters or would-b
promoters who have sent c. o. D. mes
sages and the like Offering fabulous
sums for the go, few have a chance of

New York, Nov. 24-Two out Of three
heats will hereafter constitute a vic
tory in trotting races recognized by the
American Association of Trotting Horse
Breeders, according to an announce
ment made at the annual meeting of
the association in New York last night.
In a vote taken by mail replies were
received from nearly one-half of the
$50 members of the association and OPP
position to the three-in-fi five races was
registered by vote of 305 to SO.
The proposal made last year for the
establishment of a national stake for
the trCtting championship of the United
States was renewed at the meeting by
Frank ]. fitzpatrick Of Santa Rosa, Cal,
and W. f. Stokes of Kentucky.
Mr. Fitzpatrick urged that the fine
breed of Pacific coast trotters should
have inducement to meet the winners
of eastern events. He would have a
series of three races. representing the
east, central west and Pacific coast dis
tricts, with a final contest for the
American championship. The contests,
he suggested, should be at Boston,
Mass: indianapolis and San Francisco,
with Lexington, KY, for the champion
ship meet.
United States Senator Joseph W
Bailey Of Texas, president Of the asso-
citation. who presided, said that the ma
tional championship idea had the ap-
proyal of the association and that the
plan would be taken up for action when
| $4,000 stakes were guaranteed.

dent and all other officers were re-
elected. Delaware was admitted to
