HYATT PLEADS FOR
MORE FAIRGROUNDS
Superintendent of instruction
issues Address to People
of California
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

SACRAMENTO, July 19-State Su-
perintendent of Public instruction
Hyatt issued an address today advo-
eating more Fairgrounds for children
in the cities of the state. He declared
that it was a crime to close up the
vacant spaces in the downtown sections
without providing sufficient space for
recreation for the boys and girls of
the public schools.
He urged the building of Fairgrounds
| on the roofs of school buildings and de-
clared that it was much more chari-
table for public men of wealth to give
vacant spaces for Fairgrounds than to
erect public buildings which would
close up forever the open country to
the child.
The hope of future generations, he
said, lies in having men and women of
/ good health. and good health can not
be maintained without giving the chill
dren in their school days a space on
which to play, where they can take
deep breaths and exercise their muscles
He said:
We must for our own safety pro-
vide place for our young ones to
play. We should turn our public
parks into Fairgrounds. We must
establish play places as regularly
as we do the streets. Our rich men
seeking monuments should give
free grounds dedicated to play, not
lofty piles of brick and mortar to
make 1t still more impossible.
School officers should throw open
their premises for publics play
wherever they are not actually in
use by the classes. All through
the heated summer season city
school grounds everywhere should
be wide open to the children of
the city so that they may recreate
themselves by play. Great build
ings should all be built with roof
gardens open to the sky that the
people may play.
1t is true that we have been
committing crime and not know
ing it, but the outlook for the
future is encourag ging. Wonderful
progress has been made in the last
few months. Playground asocia-
tlons. women'S clubs, improvement
societies park commissions and
other civic organizations are max
ing great strides. Cities and indi-
Viduals are providing funds, teach
ers, equipment for this phase of
child life. Those who are inter-
ested in the future of our land will
do a patriotic thing to enter into
this movement and help it along.
The address issued today has on its
front page a picture of playground in
Alameda, together with a statement
expressing appreciation of the work
that is being accomplished in that city.

New York. April 14.-With offerings of

and with favorable opinion obtaining as
TO early crop conditions since the break
ing of the Texas drouth, the cotton mar
ket ruled generally lower today, and
while the closing tone was steady last
prices showed loss Of from II to Il

The opening was steady at decline OF
to Z points in response to Indifferent
cables and scattering liquidation. Shortly
after the opening the market sold off 10
a net loss of to u points but was rallied
from this level by southern bull support
of the near months, and on bulge of
only to points, however, offerings for
long account increased, and the market
developed a sagging tendency, which car
ried prices gradually off until in the late
trading May contracts sold at IA. Csc and
October at 1236c. or 10 to p points net
lower, and in the case of May practically
30 points below the high level of yester-
day. The close was shade up from the
lowest on active months as result of
covering and support from the bull lead
ers. Spot houses were moderate sellers
of May during the day. but the chief
selling of that position seemed to come
from Wall street houses, and was be-
ieved to represent realizing by scalping
interests. who had purchased on the break
early last week.
The support from the southern bulls
was at no time aggressive, although their
buying was a little more active just be-
fore the close. According to private
cables the Liverpool market was affected
by favorable crop accounts and break
in the market for Egyptian cotton, which
was reported with II points at Alexan-
dra.
Southern spot markets officially report

plants that the new crop is being de-

WHEAT DECLINES
ON RAIN REPORTS
Bears Have Best of the Argu-
ment in Trading
PRICES FIRM AT CLOSE
Corn shows Early Weakness But Firm
ness Develops ON buying BY Large
Heuses-Oats Close Firm and
Provisions Higher

Chicago, April 14-Wheat prices de-
clined today largely on account of rains
on southwestern fields Corn, to which
May traders transferred their attention,
advanced, and oats were consistently firm.
Provisions suffered from liquidation, al
though lard and ribs made slight net
advance.
In the wheat pit the bears had all the
best of the argument and at the outset
were materially aided by news of gem
eral rainfalls in the southwest -and
particularly in Kansas. The May deliv-
cry was hammered because of the weak
ness of cash wheat and large quantities
of that grain were disposed of at ia
cents below Yesterdays final price. The
other options did not escape unseathed
and at one stage of the trading July
was down IL -cent from yesterdays close.
The sellers of May invested in the distant
options carrying July up from 81 OPS to
s1.03 and taking September well away
from its low point of 997sc before the
finish. The close was firm for distant
deliveries and weak for May.
The start in the corn pit was weak,
but firmness developed midway in the
session when an influential concern
switched from the selling to the buying
side. A number of what traders trans
ferred their interest TO the corn pit and
further bostered the market. May went
up from 5sc to 5s4sa5ss4c, the other flu
lures joining with it. Cash corn was
steady with a fair demand, No. 2 yellow
selling at 5s45s1sc.
The futures closed strong at nearly the
top with May AMs4e up at 5Stsc.
Trading in oats had the general charac-
teristics of the day in corn. A weak
start was transformed into a consistent
advance on improved buying, which re-
covered the early losses and added slight
ly to the previous close. Reports of frost
damage in restricted areas further en-
eeuraged the bulls. May moved between
42l4@42ssc and 4Slsc The close was strong
with May CSC up at 49e.
Provisions prices were erratic, although
the bears controlled the situation most
of the session. May pork went up 7lec
from yesterdays close and later fell off
30 cents, steadying in the final hour at
So 30, a net decline of Zoe at the close
Lard and ribs kept within narrower linn
its, closing figures for lard being from
21ae to 71he up and for ribs from 21ac
down to sc up. Final figures on the
May products were: Pork, so co. lard
s12.75 ribs, 2.62la
FIXTURE quotations were as follows:
