1he TWO presidents will lay their
cases before the National Association
missioner lands. 1t will make a red
hot issue. as Mccarthy has many
friends, who admire his executive
ability whether they agree with all
his base ball theories or not.
Behind this controversy there is
something else--the draft. There are
club owners in that part of the coun-
try who do not wish to Develop base
ball talent. but are willing to take
the major league castoffs. Tie Chi
cage Nationals, who are in common
with the Los Angeles club. wish a
condition whereby they may use the
California club to develop and handle
players freely. Under the guile in
vogue in 1928. the National club could
not send players to Los Angeles un-
less they were subject to the draft.
The Pacific Coast League would not
accept players who were subject to
draft, so that made deadlock.

May traded as high as 3097c, as low as 30.05c and closed at 3O.31c pound. March traded as high as 21.1Sc and closed at 30.35c after trading at 3017c on the closing ses- sion.
 In the spot department prices gained 25 points in the net results. middling closing at 30.75c a pound after having sold as high as 3lc. On the close of this week last year middling stood at 17c.
 Much of the interest in the old crop was centered in March, owing to reports that spot interests were in control of the long end of that position and would demand delivery of cotton on the contracts they held. At the same time, on two sessions of the week notices of tenders were all lowed to circulate, apparently with the purpose of causing the liquida- tion of weekly held contracts.
 According to reports reaching this market the week saw much planting in the earliest counties of Texas. but on the close there was fear that threatening rainy weather would stop this work and would interfere with preparations for planting in later sections of the belt.

other hand 1t is beginning to be said by sellers that cotton yaHh p-ices seem likely to lag considerably be- hind the advances in cotton. Slack demand, which appears likely to con- tinue indefinitely, and consequent in- crease of unsold stocks of yarns, 1t is believed, will induce a wide spread desire among spinners and yarn dealers to take profits on yarT ] which cost present holders a great deal less than the prices now being quoted.
 The following chart indicates the trend of yarn prices.
 Surface indications suggest little activity In the extra staple cotton markets and prices have not changed to any considerable extent. With shorter cotton in some cases sell ing at an advance over the longer staple, the situation has been pug zling one to mill men and sellers alike. Several dealers have been shipping 1 h inch staple for 1 1-16 the longer fiber being obtained more readily and at prices quite as fa- vorable as the shorter length. Few of the mill men are interested in strict middlng grades at the present time and there is more dealings in middling.
 Prices generally on extra staple cotton, strict middling in grade and color, f. d. b. and classed as to a very exacting standard of staple, are as follows:
 1h inch, 33 to 34h cents.
 1 316inch, 35 to 36 cents.

LONDON, March 1l.-Prof. Burton Scammell, of the Dover Radium in- stitute, has discovered that by the use of radio-phosphate of potash. a nan can be rejuvenated in re- markahle manner, according to the Westminster Gazette's correspon- dent. It is claimed that as result of the tratement man can live to be 125; always feel as fresh as a daisy, and develop the square jaw which is an essential feature of the American movie Hero.
 A retired banker of Nottingham gave an interviewer a remarkable account of his mental and physical transformation as the result of talk ing advantage of Professor Scam- melPs discovery. This man, who is 77 years old and who took the treatment for three years. says his eyes are stronger than they were 16 years ago.

 Dealers have put another half-cent pound on their southern carded yarn quotations. making it just that much more difficult to ascertain the dividing line between actual sale prices and figures that are nothing more than asking prices. as buying is of such a desultory nature that some of the carded counts go with out sales being reported for several days at a stretch. It is claimed by some of the dealers in Philadelphia that sales are being made at all of the prices quoted. In other quarters, it is stated that yarns are being gen. erally quoted at these figures, right enough. but much inquiry is being lost to direct-selling spinners at prices which, as in the case of 30s-2 southern carded warps, go all the way down to 60 cents pound. It is suggested that the attendtion of yarn consumers be directed to the fact that any list of quotations un- der the circumstances, can be re- garded only as normal.
 In spite of stronger cotton, weak spots in the yarn market show signs of appearing again, but such reports of price-cutting are still too few to be accepted as representing the gen eral state or the market. On the
