TREND IS LOWER

Selling Meets Support, but
BuIges Are Not Fully

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. August 31.-The cot
ton market opened barely steady to-
day at a decline of to 10 points
under overnight selling orders
brought in by the weakness of late
yesterday and relatively easy early
cables from Liverpool.
December sold off to 22.45 and
March to 22.67, but the further de.
cline seemed to bring in a good deal
of covering or rebuying, while later
Liverpool cables showed rallies, and
bullish sentiment was probably en-
couraged to some extent by lower
private condition and crop figures.
December quickly rallied to 22.SS,
a net advance of 30 points, but this
bulge met renewal of liquidation and
the market was rather nervous and
unsettled at the end of the first hour,
prices ruling within . or points of
yesterdays closing quotations.
Two private crop reports were
issued, one placing the condition in
IL Of the leading States at an average
of SIT and the indicated yield in these
IL States at 1885, 22 bales. The
other made the condition of the entire
belt SOL and the indicated crop 49,

depreciation of the weekly weather
report, but a moderate bulge met a
renewal of general selling and liquida-
ton. An increased disposition to
close out long contracts in advance
of the approaching Government re-
port was said to be in evidence. Re-
dictionary sentiment evidently was
encouraged by the sharpness Of the
decline from recent high records.
Some trade buying was reported on
the decline, but it was in compare
lively small volume and the support
was attributed chiefly to covering.
December sold off to 1890. making a
net decline of about % points. An
other private crop report, placing the
condition at 57.7 and the indicated
yield at 12,745, 900 bales, brought in
more buying around midday and there
were rallies of several points from
the lowest.

Most Fishers Use Worms;
CAL Angles for Majority

for can be caught by siding in with
the majority"
Secretary Charles L. Biederwolf OF
the Indiana Izaak Walton League
and clerk of the Supreme Court
says he thinks it's all right for Cool
idge to fish with worms.
"Of course the league men largely
prefer fishing with artificial lures,
but there is no rule against worms,
Biederwolf declared. Casting is an
art that must be learned and to be
really proficient one must enjoy the
sport. Coolidge is not great fish
erman and for his sport worms will
suffice"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-24

There are more worm fishermen
then "1y fishermen" according to
George N. Manifold of the State
fish and game department and that
may explain why President Coolidge
used worms for catching trout.
At any rate, the President has
been censored by certain sportSmen
for using worms for bait in the
streams of the Black Hills.
Persons who kick about that are
merely fly fishing cranks," Mann
field says. There are 100 to l more
worm fishermen than fly fishermen
