S.--(By Associated Press,)-A spectacular mile race by Joie Ray, two flashing sprint victories by To- ment af q new American record for the 440-yard girls relay, stood out against a background of brilliant performances this afternoon by a galaxy of international track and field stars in the Wilco Athletic as sociation's pre-O Olympic carnival

 Ray, running under the colors of the Illinois A. C., hung up the fastest time for the mile recorded on Amer jean tracks in several seasons. The little Chicago runner was clocked in minutes, II 45 seconds, leading his nearest rival, Walter Maunz, Buff faio sehoolboy, by 125 yards. The onds slower than the recognized world mark of 4:12 S-5, held by Nor man.
 1t was Rays best performance since 1915, when he captured the Ma tional A. A. U. championship in ALA Z-0. 1ne OHly HCW tOSol SN the day went to the credit of the Meadowbrook clubs quartet in the 400-yard relay their time of 52 40 second, displacing the former Amer iean mark of 57 3-5, made by the University of Sotthern California last year. The downpour that set In shortly afterwards spoiled all fur ther chance of record breaking Tor the afternoon, Opposed by forml- dable array of sprinters. Murchison, a representative of the Newark A. C.' sped to brilliant triumphs in the l0O and 200 meter dashes. He won both events after stirring duels with T. A; Clarke of Baltimore, who finished second by a few yards in each race.

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-Ths buying movement which was started by the recent government crop report, and was only momentarily halted by the news of the Japanese disaster on Tuesday, became even more active and excited in the cotton market to- day. Prices for all deliveries made new high records for the season with October contracts selling at 27.9o late in the morning or lSb points above Fridays close and no less than 322 points above the low price touched on the reaction Of last Tuesday. October closed at 27.6O with the general market closing irregu- lar at a net advance of S5 to 1ub points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 36 to 45 points owing 10 the continued strength of LlVerpool, re- ports of continued improvement ol trade in cotton goods at Manchester, the better news from the domestic coal trade and the hope or an early agreement between Italy and Greece. Reports of continued wet weather in the south were also a factor but the advance to 27.00 for October met good deal of realizing for over the week end and considerable southern selling. Quite spurt of selling fol- lowed the publication of the census | eport showing of 1,141,337 bales ginned to September 1, or the heavl- est amount for the period on record The large figures were attributed chiefly to to the effects of drouthy conditions in Texas, however, and the market almost immediately re- sumed it's upward movement. The apparent readiness with which heavy offerings had been absorbed after such a rapid and extensive ad- vance, evidently alarmed recent sell .sers for a reaction, and the market became very active and excited late in the morning. December sold up to 27.70 and January to 27.37 With active months showing net ad- vances of 127 to 136 points. The close was 90 to 40 points off from the best under realizing. Private cables received here from Liverpool this morning said that Manchester was improving daily and was book ing large orders for various markets: Fall River advices stated that mil production there at the end of this week was about 75 per cent of nor nal compared with 55 per cent week ago.

NEW WORK COTTON FUTURES
NE1v ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. s.-New high levels for the season were again made m the cotton marekt today. prices being 1. &7 50 bale up on the strongest months at the most active stage of the session October was forced to 27 23c pound where the trading positions were 12I to 145 points higher than the last quotations of yesterday. The close was at net gains of the day of 12s to 127 points, with octo- her at range of 27.10c to 27 .1Sc. Buying was the heaviest since the present bull movement got under way and it was done in the face of heaviest ginning on rec ord up to the first of September The main stimulus for the demand appeared to be the growing belief that this is an other short crop. As for the total ginning to September 1 of I,141, Ss7 bales, the buy CTS pointed out that Texas ginned 1,VSS,- o52 bales of 1t, leaving an exceptionally small output for the remainder or the belt The heavy ginning In Texas, 1t was argued did not necessarily point to large crop in that state, but was mainly lhe re- sult of the premature opening Of Dolis . consequent upon the drouth of August.
 In the early trading prices advanced about 35 points and almost all of this ad- vance was wiped out immediately after the shining figures at md-session, the total of ginning plainly being larger than gen eraily expected. Bulitsh traders quickiy rallied and started a new buying move mont which soon had the market nlgher than ever

Under the five power naval treaty these will begin in 1881 when three vessels will be laid down to take the place of the Florida, Utah and Wyoming.
 The Willard board recommended the expenditure of only $S20O00 in the 1925 budget for air stations, com prising $554.000 for the Canal Zone and $266.o0 for Hawaii but success i've annual inerements as follows:
