COTTON MARKET.

New York, June "a. Pronounced
weakness was shown in cotton again
today. due To general selling, but
toward the close there was a good
rally. although final quotations were
considerably below the previous
close.
First prices were irregular, with
August up 33 points and other
months points higher to 4 points
lower. An outstanding feature of
the session was a drop of 81 points
in July to 35.25, caused by pressure
OF heavy long liquidation in prepara-
ton for first notice day tomorrow.
This encouraged holders of later
months to dispose of their holdings.
In the afternoon prices dropped
sharply, led by July, which fell near
ly 100 points, while new crop op-
tions showed net losses of s2a67
points.
In the final half-hour there was
an active local covering movement,
which rallied prices 3Sa40 points.
The market closed steady at a net
decline of 37a57 points.
Spot here was quiet with middlinr
so points lower at 1916. There were
no sales.
Spot at New Orleans was steady
with middling unchanged at 4Oc. The
sales were 1,125 bales.

GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, June 24.-Corn futures
broke sharply at the opening today.
Selling was not particularly heavy.
although fairly general in Septem-
ber. but the extensive short cover
ing of yesterday left the market
without support, and the lack of de-
mand at the opening was also a
factor. Liberal receipts, estimated
at 2lO cars, was the most beariss
influence. There also was talk of
cheaper wheat and its probable in
ffUence on corn. The declines in
rices during the day were sharp.
July closed with loss of "a TO al.

corn was 2 to 4kc. lower.
Oats futures failed to attract much
attention. The action of the mar

relatively as weak as corn. July

TEACHERS. YEARLY
 MEETING NOV. II

Holidays probably will be given by Hendrix, State Normal and the public school on Thursday, Friday and Sat urday of this week to permit their faculties to attend the annual meet ing of the Arkansas State Teachers Association at Little Rock, November II to 14. Many of the local educa- tors hold various committee appoint ments by that body, while others will appear on the programs to be pre- sented by the several sections com prising at. As has been the policy of the association, its efforts this year have been to secure the attendance of every school teacher in the state.
 A question which may come before the teachers is that of athletics and the continuance of the present athle- tic association. Some elements of the teachers association, it is said, will bring the matter before the body with the object of modifying if possible the association rule on professional ism, the cause of the present up- heaval in the collegiate division. A proposal also will be submitted for the separation of the present associa- tion into district collegiate and high school divisions, each to control its own affairs, replacing the present ex- ecutive committee which has the de clslve voice on questions arising in either division.
