Let the man who shaves himself put
away the price of shave every time he

of his permanent capital.

HEAVY SELLING Of
COTTON YESTERDAY
July Sent Below the 13-cent
Level-Weekly Crop Ac-
counts Favorable

New Orleans, June 23.-The favorable
week of weather and crop reports by the
government caused heavy selling of cot
ton today. which sent the price of July
below the 10 cent level. At the lowest,
the trading months of both crops were
10 to II points under yesterdays close, and
IL to Is points down from the highest.
The close was at the worst of the session.
In the morning considerable stead
ness was displayed because of the
claim advanced by the bulls that contin-
ued dry and hot weather was against
crop growth. Favorable weekly crop ac-
counts were generally expected. but the
Accounts were even more favorable than
looked for. Selling appeared to be about
half liquidation of long cotton and half
fresh short offerings. The market had
good undertone at the decline because of
boil weevil complaints from several
states. One report from North Louisiana
stated that some fields were being plowed
up because of great numbers of the boil
weevil.

Liquidation in July was the feature
of today. though the continued good
reports of Improvement in the crop
outlook in nearly every section ex-
cepting that about Memphis. caused
many to look for lower prices.
There is undoubtedly much disap-
pointment that prices have declined
u the high level made on the bu-
reau report in June and a change of
opinion which is leading the trade to
expect a decided increase in the gov
eminent figures for the month.
From these two thoughts there has
been more sellers than buyers today
and the advance OF yesterday has been
