TREND IN COTTON
 MARKET IS LOWER
UnfavorabIe Foreign News Is Back of Much of the
 Selling
By Associated Preaa

New Orleans, January 29.-Save for the reaction upward that came with the closing session, the trend in cot ton this last week was steadily lower and prices made new low levels for the downward movement that set in year. Unfavorable foreign news was back of much of the selling, but there were complaints of slackening trade in this country, a poor spot demand and at times the threat of an in- creased acreage was over the market At no time were prices higher than the close of the preceding week highest levels still showing net losses of four to eight points. At the lowest of the week prices were at net declines of 12o to 16o points. The close was 80 to 115 points lower than the close of the preceding week. March traded down to 625o and closed at 1b soc. In the spot depart ment middling lost 126 points. clos ing at 1b.60c against 1t t.25c on the close of tho same week last year.
 Some of the heaviest selling pres suxe followed the news of the col lapse of bullish operations In the Bombay market, and there was fur ther selling on the strikes among Rhode Island cotton mills and on tele- grams from the eastern belt to the effect that southern mills were con templating curtailment of output be- cause their orders did not extend be- yond February.
 Increase in Acreage
 Repors from the belt were that an increase in the acreage was probable. although many sections still insisted that conditions were such that an in- crease could not be financed. At the end of the week October was the strongest month on the boards be- cause of messages from early sections of Texas telling of organized efforts to shold acreage down and induce farmers to pay more attention to food and feed crops and to live stock. At the lowest of the week. october was depressed to IA. 3sc from which t came back to 14.95c on the closing session.
 The strong reaction on the last day of the week was partly due to short covering on an oversold market but was also partly due to new buying. induced by accounts of considerable fixing of prices on this side of the water by foreign splnners. Germany did considerable of this right after the middle of the week and so dld both Rotterdam and Havre little later. Weekend market circulars called particular attention to the sold-out and over-sold state of the contract market.

To Be No Relief From Inordi- nate Taxation For Number of Years to Come Despite Claims of Republican Ad- miniStratiOn.
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald. ..


 800 Davidson Building.
 Washington, January 29.-(Speciai') While the art of fooling the people when and because they want to be fooled, has its advantages to the un- faithful purveyor of news. the demo- cratic national committee has con cluded that 1t is best to tell the truth in the present emergency.
 There is no relief from present in ordinate taxation for number or years to come. The republican ao- ministration is operating under budget system over which presioes Gen. c. G. Dawes. Many statements relative to saving, reduction or ex- penses, and cutting of appropriatiohs' with attendant promise or early re- duction in the burden of taxation have been made.
 But. according to democratic pub licity, in the mails today, the claims are inaccurate. To sustain it's po- sition. it quotes the following from a speech by Representative Joseph By.as of Tennessee, member of the House committee on appropriations, a StateHcHt NHlCit " uN~~' been challenged:
 Byrns' Statement
 Since my first remarks" said MT Byrns, the bureau of the budget or rather the President. has submitted supplemental estimates to Congress for additional appropriations for the year 1923. The estimates as they ap- peared in the book of estimates car ried an> item of $50,495,7s5 for the shipping board. The supplemental estimates amend that particular esti- mate and make it $100,000,0 900, or an increase of $49,504,265. which if add ed to the su moi s3,S09.413,66s.53 (the original estimate) makes total of appropriations asked for by the Pres ident for the fiscal year 1928 of s3,- s5S.917.924.53, which is an actual in crease over the appropriations made for 1922 of $S7o17.410.53.
 "As we all know, the President esti- mated that there would be a deficit in 1923 of s1S7.571.s77, and he told Congress that that could possibly be met by the practice of economy. This additional supplemental estimate in creased that estimated deficit of the

RY POLLY HY

Cinder-pathers Of the Wilmington
High School are preparing for the
interscho elastic track meet at Glen
Mills Saturday. Some forty schools
will be represented and about 400
athletes will participate. The Cherry
and White team will be composed Of
about ten men.
In practice, Captain Jacobson
surprised some OF the other athletes
as we'll as the coach by romping
away in the century, with a good
six yards ahead OF his foremost op-
ponent. His time was clocked at
10 2-5 seconds.
Coach Ashton said. on being
asked as TO whether Jacobson will
run the hundred. that he has al
ready entered the captain in three
events. the quarter. 220 and broad
lump. Dick Thatcher will probably
be the man for the century. Dick is
working harder than ever, as he in
tends to make up for his failure at
Delaware. He is also a good broad
jumper. He can out-jump Jacobson
by a foot or more, his best distance
being about twenty feet.
Coach Ashton will time the team
once more before the meet. and that
may be this aftern Jon. Yesterday
all the men had a good workout.
As the mile relay trials have not
proved satisfactory, most Of the
members will not be taken along to
take part in this event. The weight
men will also remain home. A high
jumper and pole vaulter are the
only field men who will be taken
along.
After this meet, Captain Jacob
son and his mates have only one
more interscholastic meet scheduled
that at Tome on the Saturday fol-
lowing. Manager johnson is trying
TO schedule a few dual meets, ami
the men still have hopes Of earning
their letter before the season closes.
Here are the events and those
who will enter the Glen Mills meet:
1OO-Yard Dash-lThatcher. Katz.
220-Yard Dash-Jacobson, Thatch-
er.
QuarterMile Run-Jacobson.
Pole Nault-Conly.
High Jump-BaXter.
Broad Jump-Jacobson, Thatcher.
Mile-Thompson
The men will meet at the school
building Saturday morning and from
