LONGS CASH PROFITS

Trading In cotton produced another
two sided market yesterday. In It's bull
len hours the market developed IL buying
power tina advanced the quotation from
10 points to a full quarter Of a cent. In
Ne bearish hours II was ~listless at best,
lacked determined support and reflected
readily the liquidation process that was
going on internally.
The close. however, stood at n net
gain Of I to Z points for the day, with "A
steady tone characterizing the market.
Bull traders are credited with liquidating
long lines during the afternoon at large
profits.

pool cables. Prices were carried 20 to So
points over Thursdays close. with heavy
foreign buying and purchases by big spot
houses featuring the aiding December
went to 1907. compared with 10 at the
opening. May reached 1886.

awaiting them. Southern bulls COM
menced to press the market with selling
orders too. within "A short time the
initial advance had been lost.
A buying wave followed. and the late
morning advance carried the general list
back Is 10 2s points above Thursdays
closing figures.

ket became irregular on Wall Street

OF about $4,000 bales of January and
March contracts by "A Wall Street opera

we're cashing their profits. This assault
wiped out most of the gains of the day.

Many cotton brokers commented on
the almost complete withdrawal OF the
speculative public from the market. The
high margins necessary were given AS
the principal reasons.

Ter heavyweight boxer announced on
| Monday that a cablegram had arrived
in which the French boxer expressed.
himself as willing to oppose Willard
| provided that several changes were
made in the contract forwarded to
| Paris. This is the first definite word
that has been received from the
| French heavyweight since the an
| nouncement that negotiations were
under way for the bout. At that time
| it was announced that contracts had
been sent to Paris for Carpenters
signature, and reply was expected
daily.

would be made so that the contract
would be acceptable to the French
heavyweight.
Mr.. Richard also announced that
he knew definitely that Les Darcy,
the Australian boxer, was on his way
to this country. Il have received
