new Low FORCED
In COTTON TRADES
Liquidation Heavy and Values
Slump During Final
Deals of Day.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Liauida-
tion of cotton continued heavy and
general today. The market again
was forced into new low ground for
the season. March breaking below
ITO and May and July well under
120. At one time the market scored
a substantial rally, the best for
some days, but it was attributed
chiefly to covering. Values slumped
again in the final hour.
Tomorrow will be the first March
notice day at Liverpool, and a large
number of notices were expected to
be issued.
Initial quotations showed losses
of 81 to so points.
There were spurts of covering
after the execution of early stop
orders, but slight rallies met cot
ton from one source or another.
Trade was very active early, but II
decreased during the middle Of the
day.
Selling pressure tapered off after
the close of Liverpool. and a cover
ing movement around midday car
ried prices about 40 points up from
the bottom in the early afternoon.
when the list showed net losses of
about 25 points. Buyers for a re-
action again liquidated their hold
| ings in the last hour. and the under
tone OF the market became heavy.
Last quotations were barely steady
at net loss OF SIS to 100 poinvs.
Spot here was quiet, with mid
ding 55 points lower at 11.25c:
there were no sales. Spot at New
Orleans was quiet. with the revised
quotation of middling fixed at
11.25c; the sales were 563 bales.

Federal Ban Placed
On Rail Bond Issue

WASHINGTON, Feb. eS.-while
authorizing the Chicago. Burlington
& Quincy to issue seo.ooO.eO0 of ad-
ditional capital stock, the Interstate
Commerce Commission today denied
the Burlington's application to issue
slos, ,00O,O of per cent bonds on
the ground that the company had
failed to justify an authorization OF
the issuance of dividends of mort
gage bonds against its surplus.
The refusal of the commission to
authorize the bonds means that the
Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific, which own 81 per cent Of
the stock OF the Burlington. must
devise a new plan for financing the
maturity OF s2I5.00o.00o OF c. B. &

with Lewis the leading offender.
II was merely an oid-fashioned
brawl with the crowd roaring its
approval. The fact that rules are
supposed to be considered meant
nothing to- the crowd. The fact
that boxing as a sport was being
injured meant still less.
After three distinct warnings,
Louis White. the referee, stopped
the smear and disqualified the lead
ing offender.
Did the crowd hoot and howl
down the offending boxers? Why
be ridiculous? 1t promptly arose
upon its hind legs and panned the
hide of the man who was running
his job with cool decision and cour-
age.
Recalling n Query.
Which recalls a query Ty Cobb
put to us recently. II have come
into New York for fourteen years"
he said, "and have given the crowds
there the hardest. cleanest baseball
I knew how to play. Yet on my
last trip there $4,000 stood up and
hooted me because I was supposed
to have given out an interview
where i hadn't opened my mouth.
There wasn't a soul in the stands
willing to wait for the facts or TO
get my side of II. A crowd will
turn a trick like that and yet roast
the life out OF some ball player for
making a slight mistake. Why is
it?"
The answer is that while there is
rarely any touch of cowardice on
the part of the individual, the spirit
OF the mob is nearly always the
spirit of cowardice plus poor judg-
ment.
And in this respect one part of
the country is very much like any
other part. So much so that we
are having on one side the jeering
of the officials by the crowd and on
the other the officials contempt FOR
the crowd.
1t is about time that a few of our
masked camp followers were taking
tumble to themselves.

EPIPHANY CUNTS

Basketball fans who happen to
be in the vicinity of the Epiphany
gymnasium tonight should witness
two fast and exciting games. The
Tigers take on the QuinCy Athletic

which is the second of series be-
ing staged for the District Junior
Title. The Income Tax Init fifive
from the Treasury Department Mt.
composed of out-of-town former
college and high schol stars, will
play the omets in the second con-
test.
The omets expect a hard battle
with the auditors of income tax
returns, as the latter quint has been
prepping for over a month. to get
a chance at the District title. They
feel that the stepping stone to a
series of games with the Yankees.
will be their ability TO wallop the

Beyond any argument this Is one
tough commonwealth upon officials,

The ninth wonder of the world Is
that we can get and keep as many
fair and decent judges at WORK
along the sporting roadbed. For
the hand of the populace Is against

lent.
A Reason or Two.
Part of 1t is due to ignorance. A
crowd surrounds a ball field. The
crowd Is pulling Justify for the
home team. 1t sees the visiting
base runner slide into second with
the catcher's throw on hand three
feet in advance of the runner as the
infielder tags at his man.
The umpire says safe" because
he saw the second baseman miss
the runner a good six inches. The
crowd thinks the umpire is crazy
because it wasn't close enough to
see what actually took place.
The same thing goes for a fight.
Two boxers are whaling away and
one Is constantly rapping at his op-
ponent's jaw. The opponents glove
stops the blow, but the crowd on.y
sees the wsllop start and hears the
resultant echo that follows the wal
lop. The referee. who happens to
be on top of the job, knows what
is taking place, but what chance

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Many herbs such as sage and thyme
may be easily grown in the home gar
den. Parsley should be sown now.
Iris and peony shows will be held
late this month and early next, in
many towns and cities. They are
good places to study varieties.
Asparagus may be set out this
month. Be sure the soil is deeply
worked and is rich. 1t is a good plan
to set the plants six inches deep ut
least.
When picking wild flowers do not
take the whole plant. Remember
leaves and roots are needed to grow
again next year.
