Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 3.-Liverpool took a more serious view of the government crop report than did our market, and cables were better than due this morning, with large spot sales at 10000 bales. The for eign market was also buyer here early, so that initial prices were quite sharply higher than last night In the absence of any general business the market slowly sold off on local pressure induced by scat tered rains in the south. These rains were not sufficient in Texas to relieve the drouth and they did not extend inland over the bulk of the Atlantic states, but they naturally led to expectations of more general relief. The market, however, had a steady undertone, and there was little or no outside selling.

WOOD TO COACH At
FENTON HIGH SCHOOL
Prominent College Student-Athlete
To Become Teacher and Ath-
letic Director.

Alger Wood, for the past two years
the big athletic luminary at Alma Col
lege, has been engaged by the Fenton
High School authorities to teach and
coach in that high school for the COM
ing year In hiring Wood, Fenton has
secured the best all round athlete in
Alma College as we'll as the best all
round athlete in the NJ l. A. a. But
besides securing the finest college ath-
lete in Michigan, Fenton has teacher
who has been honored and respected
by multitude of friends and admirers
for all the years he has lived here.
Wood is a 1911 graduate of Alma
High School, where for four years he
made fine reputation for himself as
student and athlete. During his
stay in the local high school, the finest
teams ever turned out by Alma, were
developed and on nearly every team
Wood was the star performer.
If there is one sport above another
in which Wood excels it is in football.
He has been All-State fullback for two
years and Captain of the team in his
junior year. In baseball he has play
ed second base and centerfield for four
years, being leading hitter for one sea-
son. He has played basketball every
year and in his freshman and senior
years at least was the best player of
the team. In track his speciality is
the discus in which event he won sec
ond place in the big intercollegiate
meet at Albion, last June. This year
it looks very much as though he would
win first place with ease.
Though Wood is such an exceptional
athlete he holds the respect and regard
of everyone, fully as much because of
his straightforward manliness and fine
character as because of his phenom-
email athletic ability. Fenton High
School is to be congratulated upon
their good fortune in securing Alger
Wood to have charge of their school
boys.
