The early unsettlement centered around

of the day was 921i a drop of over 1
points. The decline to a new low record

New Orleans. August 2s-The COTTON
market was active today. In the morning
session prices took on fairly wide ad-
vance but In the afternoon the gain was
lost because of the prfit taking operations
of the long side. While no weakness was
displayed the market had a downwa I'd
tendency in the afternoon although con-
siderable fresh buying came from bullish-
~ inclined traders who were waiting for
such soft spot Bears claimed that
the short interest had been eliminated
and replaced by long interest.
Crop news was as unravorable as oyer
Ihe weather map was dry and the fore
east promised fair weather for the cot
ton region generally. The weekly wealth.
er reports bore out private claims of
seriously dry weather in Texas and Okla
homa- Crop accounts from those two
states were sensationally unfavorable and
led to much buying. The claim became
more general that little could be done to-
ward repairing the crop damage now evil
dent, no matter what the weather condi-
tions of the near future.
The market opened steady at a decline

movement and stimulated buying until
prices commenced to move upward

ports at IL O'Clock the market stood

Urges Teaching of SPANISH

Believing that with the opening of tbs
Panama canal Baltimore's trade relations
with South America will be greatly ex-
tended, Mayor Preston has sent letter
to the school board urging that the study
OF Spanish hereafter be made feature
in the public schools, says the Baltimore
Sun.
In this connection he suggests that the
Spanish class that was started last year
ought to De continued and extended dur
ing the coming year. He also suggests
the selection of native Spaniards or South
Americans to take charge of the classes.
The mayor realizes that Americans who
go to South America in search of trade
win be greatly handicapped If they do
not speak Spanish. In fact, the assertion
has often been made that American tre..-
ufacturers heretofore have failed to get
great deal Of South American trade
they might have captured had their repre-
sentatives been able to speak the native
tongue.
By urging that Spanish be ~ ade a spe-
cia feature in the public schools the
mayor hopes that at least some of the
students therein will be equipped in a
way which viii enable them to be sent
to South America as the Representatives
of local concerns and produce results.
