COTTON MARKET

New York, Sept. 24.-The cotton
market was under further heavy pres
sure from the South this morning, and
first prices were 10 points lower to :
points higher. There was little trade
buying, but hardly enough to absorb the
offerings. and values continued to De,
cline until they ranged about 10 to ~
points under the previous close.
The market steadied later in the
morning on demand from the trade,
week end covering and moderate
amount of now outside buying, based
on a bullish crop and spot news. At
the same time sentiment here was nerV

late rush of hedge selling from the

Prices early in the second hour had

ber being net unchanged and later po-
sitions Il shade lower.
Cotton receipts at the ports for the
day are estimated at 2O,ooO bales
against 81, $50 bales week ago and
ol 2B0 bales year ago.

admire the many improvements that
have been made not only for the en-

their efforts in giving to the boys of
the Grammar school age OF this city
the opportunity of having free les
sons in the art of life saving and
swimming. given them at the "Y"
swimming pool under the personal
direction and coaching of Physical
Director Sanborn.
Over one hundred boys applied on
the first day of the campaign last
Monday and the results obtained in
this week of intensive training far
exceeded the expectations of any of
the officials of the organization. A
great majority of the youngsters did
not know the first thing about the
art. having hadelittle. opportunity of
learning and 1t was surprising to find
how few of the local boys could not
master themselves when in the wa
ter.
Mr.. Sanborn began by giving each
boy the first rudiments and keeping
him at it until he had attained at
least the knowledge of keeping above
water following it up by teaching
the strokes needed in order to make
progress should the occasion arise.
Each boy was also given sufficient in
struction in the manner of first aid in
life saving. These lessons were given
on Monday. Wednesday and Friday
and it was really wonderful to note the
Improvement made with in so short a
space of time. This arrangement was
a mart of q National proupo -, cav
forth by the National organization
for a week of intensive swimming
training among boys.
