 Although he is sixty-four years of age Clay c. Macdonald, a member of the American Legion in St. Joseph, Mo-, has been selected as chief of po- lice of that city. Macdonald is a vet eran of the World War with a good record, and it is believed that his ex- perience and ability will check the re- suits of the national crime wave in the Missouri city.
 Members of the American Legion in Alaska prefer a land-grant bonus to a compensation. It was so decided by a large majority in a preference vote taken in every post of Alaska. The plan favored by the Legionnaires pro- vides for the grant to each veteran of one hundred and sixty acres from the unappropriated public lands of the Territory.
 More than 24,000 new claims of vet erans for compensation and other gov ernment assistance had been filed by the middle of February as result of a service contest among Illinois Amer ican Legion posts, which started last Armistice Day under the auspices of a Chicago newspaper and for which prizes were offered. Similar Legion campaigns to obtain just compensa- tion for the disabled are in progress in Montana, North Dakota and many other Legion departments.
 From Columbus, Wis.,, comes a story of how members of Lange-O Ostrander Post of the American Legion aided a

member of the post when his black smith shop was destroyed by fire. Twenty-four hours after the fire, post members met and voted unanimusly to help their budy rebuild the shop. Legion doctors, dentists, lawyers, mer- chants and trade union members worked for three days, under the di- rection of carpenter members of the post, and the result was much bet ter establishment for the unfortunate ex-service man. During the progress of the work, a local bakery provided the toilers with food.

 New York, June 2.-The raw sugar market was weak today and prices declined to the basis of 4.75c for cen trifugal, although at the close the market was still rather easier in tone. Most of the business was in Porto Rican sugar, although there was a sale to local refiners of 19,600 bags of San Domingo. and for prompt shipment at Sc centrifugal. which is equal to 5c duty paid, believed to be against sale of refined for export Of the Porto Ricans sold there were 1000 bags late last night at 4.S5c, 30,000 bags early at 4.77c and 14.000 bags to Savannah at 4.77c and 21,000 bags at 4.75c.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Rv Associafed Press

New Orleans, June 2.-Prices were lower in cotton today under the com- bined influence of a slightly higher crop condition report than expected and continued favorable weather over the belt In some quarters 1t was thought that the favorable weather and the belief that the crop had inn proved since May 25. the date of the condition report, had more to do with the sagging tendency than the condi-
 tion report itself At the lowest of the day the more active months were IS zto 19 points under the close of yes terday, with July off to 12.13c and Oc- tober off to 12.S3c. The close showed net losses of only six to eight points, with July at 12.25c and October at 12.e6c.
 The condition figures of $50 per cent of normal were just about half a point higher than the average of expecta- tions as 1t was worked out in this mar
 ket The market stood to points down just before the report was read out and soon after the figures were known went to the lowest levels. The
 small declines prior to the report were
 due to the favorable weather map. In the early trading October at one time stood points over the close of yesterday, in sympathy with better cables than due and somewhat more cheerful labor news from England. At
 no time did the market show real strength and during the greater part of the session operations were re-
 stricted by the holiday here tomorrow, in observance of Confederate Memor- ial Day.

EXPORT DEMAND AND BULLISH ESTIMATES
 SEND WHEAT UPWARD
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 2.-Big export business and bullish crop estimates lifted the wheat marke ct today to new high price tions were nervous at IA to 3-4c net advance with July $1.4o 12 to S1.40 3-4. Corn gained IA to 1-2 c; oats lost 1S to 1-4c and provisions finished unchanged to zoe higher
 Seaboard interests were heavy buy CTS in the wheat pit. and 1t was said that as much as 2,500,00o bushels had been worked for export. Gossip was also current that exporters at Kansas City were taking all offerings and were competing dwith domestic mills. Moreover. a statement from leading authority here indicated a yield of only 25S, ,00o 900 bushels in six states as against 343,ooO,o0O bushels suggested by the government May returns. In view of the scantiness of the visible supply and of the activity of exporters. l declines which resulted from rains were without any lasting influence as 1 price making factors, although the last dry spot in Kansas was reported to have been thoroughly soaked. The topmost point reached today by the July delivery $1.41 12, showed an ad- vance of about forty cents bsuhe | since April.
 Oats derived it's frmness from wheat and from word that Holland was a buyer of corn to the extent ol ] e00,000 bushels. Better crop reports tended to ease the oats market

CROP REP(RT TIID
 NOT STIMULATE
 COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Quiet at a Net Decline Of Four to Ten Points on the Gay.
 Trading Quiet
By Associated Press

New York, June 2.-The first govern ment crop report of the season failed to stimulate business in the cotton market and fluctuations were comrar- atively narrow. Evidently the con dition of 66 compared with 62.4, the low record of last year, and 76.7, the 10-year average, had been dis counted, although it was shade above the average of private reports re- gently issued. It's appearance caused a furry of realizing or liquidation, but after selling off from 13 .49e to 13. soc for October, the price rallied, closing at IS. 43c The general market closed quiet at a net decline of to 10 points.
 Trading was quiet from the start. The opening was at a decline of l to 5 points and prices sold from to 10 points below last nights closing fig ures before the government report was issued as a result of scattering local and southern liquidation.
 The furry o fselling which followed the government report carried July off from 1274c to 12. 55c and December from 13 90c to 13 ,75c, with the general list selling 16 to 20 points net lower. The condition was too far below the 10-year average to encourage fresh selling for short account, however, and as soon as the scattering liquida- tion by Wall street, local and commits sion house longs, had been absorbed, the market turned steadier on cover- ing. Last prices showed rallies of some 9 to 16 points from the lowest.
 The revised figures on acreage plant ed last year. showing an increase Of about 1,500,000 acres as compared with the preliminary estimate, furnished the basis for some bearish comment on the ground that preliminary figures were likely to underestimate this years area. There was also consid- erable comment on the figures of last years yield per acre. making it 17s.4 pounds, compared with 176.S, the av- craze of the 10 previous seasons. This was regarded as demonstrating that a favorable growing season might bring poor crop start up to very satisfactory result, and local traders believe that the present drop has al- ready made some improveme since the date of the government report. Liverpol market remained open to trade on the condition figures, but showed no special feature.

EIGHT PER CENT
 MONEY AND PRICE
 REVISION FEATURED
Exchange on London Forfeited the Better Part of It's Recent Rally, With Dutch
 Bills Reversed
By Associated Presa

New York, June 2.-An per cent rate for call loans, further price re- visions, and another low record of 86 for Liberty S1z per cent bonds con tributed to today's reactionary stock market.
 Some speculative favorites, notably oils, equipments and specialties of the tobacco and leather types, were inter mittently active and strong. In gen. eral, however, representative stocks again reflected unsettled business con ditions and lack of public support.
 Call money opened at per cent. rose to 71k per cent in the first half of the session, and touched per cent in the last hour, when market prices were most confusing.
 Only once before this year--on Feb ruary 8, when demand loans rose to 2 per cent-was todays money rate ex- ceeded. Borrowers of time funds bid per cent for all dates. but only small sums were available. Banks attributed the increasing scaricty to large capital flotations, government withdrawals and reduction of local reserves by in terior banks.
 Factors bearing more or less directly on market values included a cut in Pittsburg prices of wire products and marked concessions in refined sugars.
 Columbia Graphophone preferred was added to the steady increasing list of stocks deferring dividends.
 Exchange on London forfeited the better part of its recent rally and all continental rates fell to 30 points. Dutch bills again sustaining the great CT reversal. Incidentally, the Bank of England weekly report disclosed a large decrease in liability reserves.
 Liberty 3 # 8 recovered most of their loss, but the trend of that group as a whole was downward.
 Other domestic as we'll as interna- tional issues were responsive in va riable degree to the money furry. To- tai sales, par value, were $19,775,000.
