Cotton Seed Supply Short:

The letter olProf. w. r. bod
son and tho remarks made by Mr..
Frank T. Guilbssu, which w pub
lish below, lead US TO believe that
the amount OF cotton seed on which
We were figuring to supply the
planters in the inundated sections,
will not be a. large IS We were ex-
pecting. and in order not to be
short of seed aud disappointed at
tho time Of planting, We believe
the suggestion made by Mr.. Gull
bean 10 timely and should be act
cd upon without delay.
We should DO assured that the
planters will b supplied with tho
seed they need.
We cannot expect that the indi.
vidual planter can procure his
seed, tho seed must b bought in
car load lots aud DO on hand to
supply the many email planters
when planting time comes.

 Traders were interested chiefly in the Hartman stocks, owing to the cf fort at the eleventh hour to put through a dissolution plan before the expiration tomorrow of the agreeme nt with the underwriting syndicate. Al = though news of this project, coming shortly before the close yesterday, sent up prices, traders were inclined to take. more conservative view today. The chance of further opposition from the California railroad commission and doubts as to the status of Southern Pacific under the plan confused specu- latfve opinion, and there was a strong inclination to allow the market TO erift until some definite word shouI! be received regarding the outcome of the negotfattons.

Gordon Davies would easily have lowered the quarter nile record. He was actually left five yards at the start. but a splendid spurt On the home stretch landed him the winner by six yards, only 3-6 of a sec ond outside the record. It was owing to the assistance of the old Iowar, Will A Zieg1er, who won the hammer throwing and the weight putting, i'm proving his previous records, that Ox- ford was able to tie.
