Detroit, June 1S.-Thousands of emigrants from foreign countries, many of them described as penniess and who plan to enter the United States from Canada across the Detroit river, are doomed to disappointment according to Dr. F. l..

May. July marks the date on which the gates will be opened for quotas for the new year.
 But comparatively few of these thousands of immigrants camping in Canada can enter the United States through Detroit" Dr. Prentis said We can handle only about 200 day but we probably will not be permitted to allow that number to enter through the gateway. Only 15,46s immigrants can enter the United States in a single month and Detroit's share of that will be but a few hundred"

CHICAGO July 2S.-Nr. and Mrs. Joseph Laverne the former scarcely out Of his teens and the latter 21 to- day decided to give away their three small children because "their poverty denies othem the right to keep them
 Norma, 1 year old, has already been placed in wealthier home; Jean, 4, and Robert, 2, are to have their fu- lure parents" picked from mum Der of applicants.
 I'd rather dle than give the kid oies away" said Mrs. Laverne. an exceptionally pretty woman. Dying wouldn't help them or be fair to them, ana it would only cost money.
 We want them to grow up so they can have enough to eat. We've been married six years and tried to get ahead, but we cannot. Robert lost his Job and as soon ts he gets an other the furniture company gar nishees his wages. We failed. out we haven't failed to love each other and the children. The children can't live on love, though.
 "A lot of people say we have no right with our poverty to have chil- dren. Maybe we have no right to happiness of any sort" she concluded bitterly.
 Mrs. Laverne will soon become a mother for fourth time.

Steel Market Still
 Is Shouting Stability

< NEW YORK, July 2S.--The steel market continues to display a good deal of stability and price levels are but little altered. In some quarters there is q fair demand. especially for the lighter steel products. but as q rule new bookings are not keeping pace with production, small lot or ders for quick shipment are quite numerous and there are few evil dences of accumulation of stocks. Pig iron is trifle steadier. Demand Is slow, but production has been re- duced, and there is less pressure to sell. Copper was quite in the do- mestc trade, with prices generally unchanged from last week, but fair export trade developed, estimated at 100000 pounds, within ten days. United States exports during June were the largest in over year with the exception of last January.
 Tin became easier owing to slow consuming demand and a prospective liberal increase in the visible, supply.
 Lead was strong, with operators the principal buyers. Prompt sup plies are light and a better consum- Ing demand is anticipated
 I A firmer tone developed in zinc talso, with some inquiry for export. An absence of selling pressure, how ever. was the chief cause of strength.
 Anthony was steady, with a good demand. although mostly of a specu- 1tive sort, for future shipment.

LOUISIANA TEACHERS. EXAMINATION PAPERS ARE TEMPERED WITH
Statewide Tests Called OF On Discovery Questions
 Are Sold

NEW ORLEANS, July 2S.-When little Bobby, at examination time, leans toward the kid across the aisle and asks if New York isn't the capi- tai of the United States, it's not a surprising performance, and the school mistress merely chalks a goose egg on his paper: but when someone peeps It q copy of the ques- tions to be put to applicants for per mits to teach in the public schools of Louisiana, it's horse of another color.
 T. IT. Harris, state superintendent of public instruction, has just dis covered that the unexpected has hap poned, and as result has called off the sta ate- wide examinations sched- uled for July 3G-31, and August 1, and announced that they would be EeId August 13, II and 15. In the meantime the state examining board has gone to work on another set of brain teasers for normal school grad uates and others who aspire to the noble calling of holding the mind of the younger generation as 1t should be nodded
 The examining board recently sent copies of the examination questions by registered mail 10 each of the parish school superintendents The superintendent of St. Helena parish reported that the package addressed to him apparently had been tempered with and refused to accept 1t. That straw bent the camers back, but it didn't break until the Tangipahoe superintendent advised the board that nos only had his set of ques- tions been tempered with in transit, but there was evidence copies had been made and were being sold to Would-be teachers.
 Now. the board. in addition to fser r~I A crossing anyone who Is in possession of a set of the questions that leaked, is trying to find out who. when. where, and how.

LOS ANGELES, July 2S-Pola Negri announced today her engage
 ment to Charlie Chaplin Is definitely at an end.
 Simultaneously the exotic Polish film star lowered her long black lashes and sighed rapturously when someone mentioned the name of Will liam T. Tilden, II, tennis champion.
 Bushes carmined the soft contour of Pola's lowered face as she re- piled to the latest Hollywood rumor that she had dropped the custard pie for a tennis racquet" saying:
 T can say nothing except that
 admire Mir. Tilden very much. You
 must not ask me more" More blushes and a sudden switch ing of the conversation as to why 1 Charlie was tilted
 Mir Chaplin should never marry He is lacking in all the matrimonial
 requirements" Pola declared. T
 realized five weeks ago it was an impossibility. He's a charming little
 fellow and we're still friends, but I
 realize now that I never could have married him.
 He experiments in love, in my
 opinion. I'm glad it's over. l have ambitions and l am sure l never
 could be a great actress as Mrs. Charlie Chaplin"
 Pola dined the other night with Big Bill" Tilden and Manuel Alonzo, the dashing Spanish tennis champion At a nearby table, ignoring them, sat Charlie Chaplin. with Lenore Ulrich,
 of "Kiki" fame. Which gave rise to rumors that Charlie might be con- soling himself with another film en- gagement.
 Not with me-" said Lenore, after the fashion of her stage stuff l think engagements are old fashioned. She disclaimed any intentions of step ping into the vacancy left by Frau 1 lein Negri

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS July 28.-The selling movement in cotton was continued today on rains in Texas. which, although being 1 far from general seemed to cover many sections that have been complaining of drouth. Hedge selling was felt In larger volume, and the market was lower from the opening, reaching It's lowest in the late trading, when the list showed losses of 41 to 49 points. October traded down to 20. 40c in the early session and did not make new lows thereafter, but later months did. On the close October traded a range of 20 43c 10 20 41c, and the list showed net losses for the day of Al to 46 points.
 The opening was lower under overnight selling which appeared to more than fill the demand from traders on the short weekend. The rainfall in the west con trolled the market throughout the ses- sion, although many Texas and Oklahoma points wired in that rain was still badly
 needed. and the forecast seemed to indi- cate only q few scattering showers for over Sunday in Texas, while the outlook in Oklahoma was for fair weather. Realizing by shorts checked the de- cline in October after the first hour and more or less of this sort of buying was felt in the later trading. Toward the close .t was claimed by some brokers that spinners were doing much fixing of prices, and this helped to make for a steady tone. but at no stage Were there recoNeries of any great consc cquence. Prices in the spot de partment were 100 points lower, with middiinG off to 22c pound.

.FRESHDOWNTURNS
 NV WHEAT CAUSED BY HEDGING SALES

CHICAGO, July 2S.--Fresh down.
 turns in the value of wheat took
 place today, largely as a result Of
 hedging sales of newly harvested
 wheat and in line with weakness of
 stocks and cotton. Wheat prices
 closed heavy, 1B@1%c net lower,
 September 95% 995Ac, and December
 991s Q99Ac. Corn finished at a range varying from 9sc decline to 2lc advance, oats 1SGpLc to 3Lc
 down and provisions DC to 32c, Off
 From the outset, the wheat mar | ket gave evidence of strain toward
 a lower price level, with the buying
 demand at least temporarily insuffi- cient to bring about any important rally. Aside from the depressing eff fects of liberal receipts here today and of expected big arrivals Monday, bears put emphasis on the indirect influence of Germany's governmental and financial difficulties and on talk which was current that further can cellations of export purchases of wheat from America were being at | tempted by Great Britain. Mean while, reports of crop damage by
 rust and blight continued from the spring wheat belt both north and south of the Canadian line, but at tracted little notice.
 Selling here from spreaders who bought in Winnipeg had much to do with increased weakness of Chi cago prices for wheat as the day drew to a close. Final quotations here were the lowest of the day, With the July delivery scoring a new low | price record for the season. Liqui- dating sales on the part of holders , was in progress at the last. especially in the July delivery.
 End-o f-month bidding on the part l of shorts lifted July corn to the top
 most price yet this season, S93s c. | Longs then sold. however, and rains 1 east of the Mississippi tended also to ease the market. Oats declined with
 corn.
 Provisions were affected by grain
 weakness, despite a rise in hog val l ues.

COVERING FAILS
 TO HALT DECLINE .M COTTON PRICE

NEW YORK July 28.-Although
 Wall street covering developed in
 the cotton market on large scale to- day especially when October reached
 2l.10c, or 40 points down from the
 previous night. 1t failed to have more
 than temporary effect on the down. ward trend of prices. The advent of
 quite general rains in central and
 northern Tex2s. reaching inches at some points, caused renewal of
 selling pressure in such volume that
 the market gave way rapidly and at the close was practically at lowest
 point Of the day on new crop posi- tions, with the entire closing range from 36 to 75 points net lower. The near months experienced the great est decline and dropped to practically
 the same levels as the latter crop months, September In particular de- clining 110 points to 2130c. Addi-
 tonal factors connected with the
 forenoon break were the weakness In the stock market, lower spot prices In the south, a slacl1ening of trade in
 cotton goods and local pear pressure
 based on prospects for further rains in the southwest over Sunday. It was generally agreed that the Texas drouth had at least been relieved, and with the showers came quite sharp drop in temperatures. A crop report i issued by a prominent Texas house made condition 69.2, against 69.1 last month, with an indicated yield of i1,i25,o00 bales. The reports thus
 far issued have suggested a prospec- tive yield this year of around 12,000,- oG0 bales. At the opening. which was So points lower on August and un- changed to 90 points lower on other months. Liverpool, the south and New | Orleans were good sellers. There
 were also considerable hedge selling and this continued to be feature throughout the entire forenoon.
