COTTON DROPS ON BIG
CROP OUTLOOK IN 1919
Government Predicts l5.325.000
Bales, Experts 100000.
nv aRoADAN WALL
by BROADAN WALL.

New York. July 2.-Bright sun
shine and o pleasant breeze brought
better cheer to Wall Street today.
There was no news of great import
ance but the professionals felt, bet
ter and bought stocks.
Perhaps the most important de-
velopment Of the day was the easi-
ness in the money market. This was
due to the fact that tax money held
in the banks for government ac-
count Is beginning TO percolate
through government vouchers into
the accounts of private business
firms.
The cotton report by the govern
ment showed a condition of S5.S per
cent. compared with 1913 per cent as
ten-year average. The acreage is
given at 37.07s,000. compared with
34.e25,000 last year. The official
crop forecast is 15.325.000 bales
against an actual crop of 11.300.254
last year. This report broke old
crop options about IS a bale. and
the new crop about "a. Cotton ex-
perts believe that the government
has underestimated the crop mater
tally. for, with the plant in such
splendid condition, further improve
ment will naturally be seen. There
fore a crop of 100000 bales is
within reasonable expectation.
The mysterious break in steel
with which the market closed yes
terday was caused by the talk of
a well known coal operator who en-
tered a Stock Exchange house Is
minutes before the close and poured
out his troubles. He said labor
would have to be commandeered in
order to get enough coal to keep the
country from freezing to death next
winter.
A year ago this same operator ad-
vised his friends not to lay up coal
and some of them nearly froze to
death.
So the broker called up an i'm
portant customer and told him about
it. and five minutes to three got an
order to sell $500 shares of steel.
Another customer added $500 shares
and the 10000 share block struck
the market just at the close.
The entire transaction was a di-
rect result OF the coal operator get
ting his feet wet and becoming
grouchy.
General Motors stock commanded
a premium of 81 a share tonight.
Some brokers report that agents of
the company have offered to bor-
row stock to keep it out of the
hands Of the raiders who are being
disciplined.
Good buying was seen today in
Reading. Distillers. Wabash, Hide
and Leather, Pierce Oil. United Mo-
tors and Pierce Arrow Telephone
and telegraph stocks were slightly
lower as a result OF the Presidents
move toward taking over the COM
panies for government account.

February Rich in Historic
Incidents of Hemped Arena


OF the old time fighters mentioned In
the foregoing table carry little sig
nificance, but to veteran followers Of
the hemped arena the deeds and ex-
ploits OF Jack Dempsey, George lie
blanchN and Terry McGovern sull live
In their memories and never will be
forgotten.
Back in lsS4-S5, Dempsey was rec
oRnized as the worlds champion
among the lishtweights. lie laid
claim to the tue, following the retire
ment OF Arthur Chambers, who had
relgned Tor seven years, from 1879 to
1873, Dempsey had fairly fought his
way to the championship. having
whipped such sterling lightweishts OF
his day as Jimmy Mitchell. Tom
Henry Billy Lacey, Bob Trumbull.
Jack Keenan,. Jimmy Murray and Bil
Frasier. II Is said OF Dempsey that
no lightweight before him ever had
the wonderful hold on the public that
he enjoyed. He was one OF the few
lighters In ring history who held the
championship in three divisions OF
pugilism His decisive defeat OF the
hands OF Bob Fitzsimmons practically
marked the end Of Dempsey ma a fac
tor In ring affairs
ished there was not such strict OBJ
serNance OF poundage In the arrange
ment OF title matches as there is to
day. and 1t is OF record that frequent
ly lightwelghts were pitted against
welters and welters against middle
weights. Originally Dempsey began
his career as II lightweight, but when
foemen became scarce In this division
he began to take on i42- pound scrap
pers, and his success here emboldened
him to'seize the welter crown also. In
1854, however. Dempsey abandoned
all attempts TO fight In the lighter
classlficatons and from that time on
his ring record shows that middle
weights were his opponents. ON July
80 OF that year, Dempsey laid claim
TO the ji-pound title, following his
victory over George Fulljames, and he
reigned undisturhed until 1890 when
George lie Blanche became a figure
in middleweight circles on August
21 OF that year la Blanche knocked
out Dempsey In the thirty second
round. at San Francisco
That victory really was defeat for
lie Blanche because II changed him
from his simple habits OF life into a
reYeller and hail fellow well-mct In
stead OF the strict routine he had been
yont to follow lie Blanche was lured
,by the mocking<, leasures OF the prim-
rose path and his physical strength
naturally suffered thereby His reign
as title holder was brief for i'm Feb
ruary. 1891, Lc Blanche vas knocked
out In the twelfth round by Young
Mitchell, considered only u second
