Market Report Shows
Decline in Cotton

New York, April 14.-There was a
change in the tone of both the Liver
pool and local cotton markets last
week, which was attritated partly to
an. easier technical position, following
recent advances, reports of increased
spot offerings and apprehensions of
labor troubles in the British coal mines
at the beginning of next month. May
contracts here sold off from 72.08 to
1908 and closed at 1922, with the
general market steady at a net decline
of II to IA points.
For the first time in nearly two
weeks, the Liverpool market was dis
appointing from the. bullish standpoint
and the opening here was barely
steady at decline of 2 to Is points.
Liverpool continued weak after the
local opening and heavy seller here,
particularly in the later months, and
supposedly on fresh straddle accounts.
There was also considerable southern
selling, which increased the disposi-
ton of recent buyers to take profits
on long contracts and, before the de-
cline was checked, active months sold
about 40 to 46 points below Mondays
figures. This carried July off to 1885
and October to 1906, after which there
were rallies of several points on cover
ing.

Business Among Blacks

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, H., April 14.-The Beauty
Culture Trust is seeking to destroy
the hairdressing business among the
colored people throughout the country
Competition is the direct cause for
this action on the part of the trust.
This powerful organization is en-
deavoring to procure legislative ac-
ton in the several states that will
contain restrictive provisions which
will literally choke its colored competi-
tors to hasty business death.
Illinois and New York are the first
states to feel the fangs of the trust"
in this respect. Bills have been in
troduced in the respective legislatures
Of these states which provides for an
educational qualification for all who en-
gage in the business of hairdressing

and dangerous features of the provis-

the requirements of the examinations
included in their text If these bills
become laws no one will be permitted
to engage in the business who has not
passed an examination that will be
prescribed and prepared by commits
sioners whose personnel will be de-
termined by the trust" interests. AL
