PRICES DEPRESSED IN COTTON MARKET DURING LAST WEEK
Close Was At Losses Of 49 To 144 Points With July
 Having Touched 25.02

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-Prices were depressed in the cotton market throughout last week. At the high est levels the trading months were still to 21 points under the close of the preceding week, while at the lowest they were 75 to 172 points under. The close was at net losses on the week of 49 to IA points. July traded as low as 25.o2c and closed at 25.30c: October traded as low as 22.96c and closed at 23.26c. These were new levels for the down. ward movement that has been under way for sometime past In the spot department prices lost 150 points on middling, which closed at 26.50c against 1S.12c a pound on the close of this week last year.
 Much of the selling of the week was caused by private reports of slowing down of trade, both textile and general, which led to almost constant talk of curtailment of pro- duction by the mills of the country. At the end of the week some market circulars expressed the opinion that the amount of comment in this direc- ton was not justified by the short time actually under way, as but few mills appeared to be running on re- duced time while some southern mills reported that they still were work ing overtime and there were in stances where mills were said to be working day and night shifts. Spot cotton markets generally were quiet but there were no indications of any pressure to sell as the market fell.
 The weather of the week was generally considered unsatisfactory to highly unfavorable. While some planting appeared to be going ahead in some sections of the belt at all times many sections complained that the seed was going into the ground under unfavorable conditions. The main complaint in the western belt was low temperatures. In the east ern belt, general and continued rains interfered with the planting program. Because of the forecast of further rains in the eastern belt over Sum day it was generally considered that the beginning of the new week would bring increased crop com plaints but, against this as a market factor, was the hearing in the sugar market injunction suit, which is scheduled for Monday.

Georges Didn't Make Impressiue Shouting

PARIS, May 6.-Despite the fact that Georges Carpenter won back most of his lost prestige among fight fans by defeating Marcel Miles for the heavyweight cham pionship of France Sunday aft ternoon, recognized sporting au- thorities declared themselves any thing but enthusiastic over his accomplishment.
 It was Georges first victory in the ring since he knocked out Joe Beckett of England with a mighty right swing. Fistic experts con slider that Carpenter should have finished Miles, who was entirely without science, in the third or fourth round of the battle.
 Carpenter showed confidence at the beginning of the bout but throughout he lacked speed and precision.
 The consensus is that if Miles had Siki's arms the result would have been different.

HUGHESPROTESTS
BRITISH ATTITUDE
TOWARD CONSULS
Two American Diplomats Ex-
PEELED by EngIand-Note
Is Sent.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The
United States has prepared a sharp
note to Great Britain denouncing the
attitude of the latter government in
expelling two American consuls from
New Castle, England, it was learned
today.
The note, signed by Secretary of
State Hughes. makes no effort to con-
ceal the displeasure of the United
States at her action some months ago
in cancelling recognition Of the
United States consuls at New Castle.
1t is understood that Secretary
Hughes shortly will publish the Amer
lean note. making plain the extreme
annoyance and displeasure Of this gov
eminent.
The New Castle incident has caused
an unusual amount Of friction be-
tween the two governments.
The present sharp note results from
a reply received from Great Britain
fatty refusing a request by the
United States that the British gov
eminent withdraw the charges against
the American consuls. An investiga-
! ton by this government had found
these charges baseless.
The American representatives in
question, Consul Fred c. Statler and
Vice Consul Russell NJ. Brooks are
charged with using their official po-
sitions to coerce British subjects com
ing to the United States to sail on
American Shipping Board vessels
