COTTON PRICE STEADY

Firm Cables and Rains in Eastern

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE cotton
market opened firm today at an adj
vance Of IL to Is points in response to
the relatively firm tone of Liverpool and
reports of further rains in the eastern
and central belts.
October contracts sold up to 2207
on this initial demand. but met con-
siderable realizing or liquidation and
eased of to 21.96 in early trading
Liverpool was buyer here on the de-
cline which also seemed TO bring In
some further covering or rebuying. The
market was quiet and steady around
the % cent level for October at the
end of the first hour.
1t was reported that one of the trade
authorities estimated domestic con-
sumption of lint cotton for June at
$4,000 bales. against 577.7l0 for May
and 659,e4l for June last year.
Private cables said there had been
Continental and Bombay buying in
Liverpool, with the effects Of recent
American acreage figures offset by I'M
favorable weather in the South.
The market weakened after publica-
ton of the weekly Weather Bureau re-
port. which evidently made a more ia
vorable showing than expected. Octo-
Der contracts sold off to 2l82. or about
25 points from the high level of the
morning and 8 points below yesterdays
close Offerings were attributed chiefly
to liquidation by yesterdays buyers and
local selling. The decline seemed TO
bring in a little more buying, which
was encouraged by prospects for further
showers in the Eastern belt. The VOL
une of business tapered off on rallies
Of 10 or II points, and the market was
comparatively quiet at midday, with ac-
tive months ruling net unchanged to
points higher

! NEW YORK, July ll.-Lower prices
for bonds followed the overnight an
nouncement of the increase in the re-
discount rate of the Chicago Federal
Reserve Bank III part, the action OF
the Chicago directors had been antici-
pated by Tuesdays market. when the
| United States Government obligations
were SO heavily sold, but there were
further declines today. New lows for
1928 were established for the first. third
and fourth Liberty loans and by the
Treasury 3SSs. The third Liberty loan
sold at par, the Treasury 38sS below
par and the fourth Liberty loan to yield
over 4 per cent.
Dealings in the Liberties and the
Treasury notes. however, were not as
large today as III the preceding session,
Ii was the corporate bonds which bore
the brunt Of the selling today. This
was true Of the investment issues, the
speculative descriptions and even of the
foreign bonds. Losses were not large
in the highgrade group, but the trend
was definitely downward.
All the speculative railroad issues sold
of on a small turnover. International
Great Northern adjustments. Chicago
Great Western As, Missouri Pacific As,
st. Paul adjustments and Seaboard Air
Line IS were all lower. Industrial obli-
cations such as Dodge Bros. IS and
Hudson Coal SIS weakened Convertible
&C Q )er bonds and Public Service Of New
JpF5ey 4i2s went down with their re-
SpN tive stocks.
Weakness in the foreign department
centered about the Italian bonds. Ital-
ian government Is dropped a point.
City OF Rome Gus we're off a point and
q half at 93 Italian Public Utility rs
down a point at 81 and other Italian
municipals and induStrials down in pro-
portion.
The remarkable feature of the day
was the fact that so little liquidation
was brought out at the lower level of
prices. Evidently the bond market was
better prepared for the money develop
mentS than the stock market.

In completing the first of two surveys

The figure for total construction, it

to large figure over the State as a

pointed out. I merely turned Ornle
over to the sheriff and beat 1t back to
the Office, giving the police due credit
for the arrest in story that was on the
street before the other papers even
knew that anybody's been arrested.
That little scoop was quite enough for
me. in the way of glory. But naturally
with my pet tame prisoner, rules or no

Naturally" DR.. Cavanaugh agreed
SO suavely that Peter looked up with
sharp scrutiny: but the doctor was in
tent on extinguishing the burning end
OF his cigar against the side of the
ash tray. And what did he say?" he
asked without looking up.
Il told him I'd see that he had
lawyer and he said That's very kind OF
you. but you Cughtn't to bother just
estly do think there's something queer
about him-nobody has any call to be
as philosophical as all that, when he's
about to be tried for murder"
But then, you see, you've never been
on trial for murder-perhapS you are
not in position to judge" DR.. Cava-
naueh reminded him.
We'll. I think Id at least manage
to be Interested" Orme's indifference
to the fate of his own neck was be-
coming point of acute grievance to
Peter, despite his part in bringing that
neck within reach of danger. He did
not look up at all until told him we
were going to try to get you to come
and see him.. Then he stared like
somebody that's just been shaken awake.
But all he said was. oh! I've heard of
him. Still the idea seemed to impress
him. Whatever you decide about him,
I'm glad you're going. You haven't
goc any advance theory-I suppose-in
other words. hunch?"
IF had it wouldn't be worth ex
pressing. Still. your impressions are
helpful. they give us little background

witness. not the district attorneys,
after all, you know"
"Whoop-ee! I'll bet two doughnuts
you will" Peter beamed. by the way,

interesting features. but L am not will
ing to go into it with any more definite
bias than would if he had come as a
patient to my office.
THE district attorney was rather
heated in his comments on the 'inSan-
ity dodge as the current fashion among
criminals of the present day-but after
all we are not sure that Orme is a GRIM
inal. any more than we are sure that he
is insane. BY the way, how did he
take the transformation of his captor
into a good Samaritan"
Peted leaned back in his chair and
lighted fresh cigarette from the stub
of Its predecessor
THE police weren't allowing any
newspaper interviews. They didn't want
to run the risk of having Orme start
something with the reporters before
he'd talked to them. But my position
was what you might call strategic"
You have way of putting yourself
in strategic positions" DR.. Cavanaugh
commented, with briefly quizzical
glance in Peters direction.
'Oh, it was nothing to crow about. y
Peter hastened to assure him. only,
you see, if I'd chosen to play myself up
in the Herald as the intrepid anna
teur who discovered and caught the
man who wrote that threat, before the
police even got rightly started to search
for him. it would have made them look
rather silly.
1T wasn't like that of course, really.
Just happened to light on tip and
followed it, and capturing Orme was
about as heroic as picking up some
body's strayed kitten. But they couldn't
help seeing the possibilities of the other
