Of cotton from the new Georgia crop ar

sold at public auction In front of the
exchange that day for the Belgian Re-

purchaser, wanted THE SUN Tobacco
Fund to profit also. Accordingly he gave
back the bale to be disposed of n sec
ond time and he himself offered $3.50.
1t was suggested that the sale should
not be closed until the occasion of some
big uptown entertainment for the fund.
and the night OF the Waldorf AFFAIR the
auction will be ended. Mr.. Newburger's
$3.50 offer stands, and the bidding will
start at that figure. Meanwhile the mar
ket price Of cotton has advanced to $175,
with prospects OF a further rise. and az
others have expressed a determination
