no longer to cause a thrill, 10000
impatient eX-Service men will de-
scend upon France in one of the

visit many of them made since the
guns ceased firing, in November,
1918.
Going across then they were
herded on transports and conveyed
through the dangerous waters of
the Atlantic with The possibility
every minute that a submarine
would send their ship to the bottom.
Twenty Ships to Garry Legion
This time they go as members of
the American, Legion, riding across
the ocean they made safe by their
victory.
Twenty ships will take them from
seven Atlantic and Gulf ports.
Official sailing date is September
and the return depends upon
when their money runs out.
The occasion is the annual con-
vention of the American Legion, be-
ing held in France that the boys
once again may fraternize at the
scene of the conflict from which
they so fortunately emerged alive.
Special rates on railroads; special
rates on steamers; special housing
rates in France; all these have been
arranged to make the trip attrac-
tive.

COTTON IS WEAK

Prices. Break Half Cent in

-. on Trade Buying.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 3o.-The cotton
market today was weak and unsettled,
prices breaking about half q cent
from yesterdays closing quotations.
The decline was checked at 1S.43 for
December, and there were rallies later
on covering and trade buying, that
delivery closing at 1883 compared with
1926 at the closing previous day and
1899, the high record of last Tuesday.
The general market closed steady at
net declines of 40 to "A points.
The market opened easy at de-
cline of 13 to 10 points under liquida-
ton and selling for a reaction. No
special news factor was connected
with the selling, but the market acted
as if a considerable long interest had

that a weaker technical position was

were uncovered as prices worked off.
and there was no slackening OF the
selling movement until active months
showed net losses Of about so to Sd

about 80 to 96 points from the high

gradually absorbed the offerings, how
ever. and when the selling tapered
off during the middle of the morning,
prices steadied on covering. Rallies
of Is or 20 points from the lowest
followed, but they were not fully main
tanned, as the bulges seemed to meet
further commission or wire house
liquidation. Last prices were about
s to 10 points up from the lowest on
most positions. Buying on the de-
cline may have been encouraged by
prospects for further showers in the
South, where dry weather is supposed
to be generally needed, but except for
the trade buying on a scale down dur
| ing the earlier trading the demand
was attributed chiefly to covering.
Owing to the holiday there were no
cables from Liverpool to influence
sentiment here one way or the other,
and Liverpool will not reopen for bust
ness until Tuesday morning. The dis
position to even up commitments may
have been promoted to some extent
by uncertainty as to the showing of
