Paris, Aug. 20.-Widely circulated
reports that the Belgians have def

1t is stated in official circles, how

Washington. April 9.-The attention

During the past season several Or
the largest cotton buying firms In OK

thei ragents not 10 purchase this cot

lint was SO far inferior to that ordln-

knew it would not be acceptable to any

that local buyers we're warning them
