SLIGHTLY EASY
Lower Gables, Favorable
Weather Are Influen-
ces Down

NEW ORLEANS, July 3.-F-
The cotton market opened slightly
easier in sympathy with lower
cables than due and rather more
favorable weather than expected.
First trades showed losses Of 5 to
6 points and prices continued to
decline until October traded at 1911
and December at 1881, or 6 t OF
points below yesterdays close.
Towards the end of the first hour
some support entered the market
in the form of buying on expecta-
tons Of a bullish weekly weather
and crop report and prices rallied
several points from the lows.
A government report met bullish
expectations, especially the refer
nee to increased weevil ~infesta-
ton in the eastern belt. Demand
October sold UP to 1926, end De-
cember 18.45, or IA to Is points
above the early lows and 8 points
oevr yesterdays close. Realizing

N. Y. COTTON

NEW YORK, July 3.-(P-The
cotton market opened steady at a
decline of 3 to II points under SELL
ing promoted by relatively easy
cables, but offerings we're compare
lively light and prices worked back
to about yesterdays closing figures
before the end of the first half
hour.
There was covering and some
trade buying was reported on the
rally which carried October from
1922 to 1926 or within 8 points Of
yesterdays closing quotation. July
was relatively firm after the early
decline to 17.73, selling up to 1888
or 3 points net higher.
The weekly report of the weather
bureau seemed to have little effect
on the market which was only
moderately active late in the morn
ing, and held generally steady on
pre-holiday covering. Some trade
buying was also reported on the
advance which sent the market I'D
to 1887 for October or about 8 to
8 points above yesterdays closing
quotations during the middle of the
day.

Caterpillar"
he

The whole success of the
Caterpillar Tractor has
been built on one sound and
ingenious engineering prin-
ciple -. the rolling track.
To this idea have been add
ed modern, efficient manu-
featuring methods and the
finest materials that could
be had for their purpose.
An engine of great power,
designed by foremost en-
gineers, for just the purpose
and the need it fills.
Tracks built from materials
that laugh at mud or sand w.
at hills or years 49,. tracks
that carry you under the
trees around the rows
and over the bitches. The
track alone and the sureness
of power and traction it per-
mits, would have made the
Caterpillar the recogniz-
ed orchard tractor.
These tracks will take you
and your load day in and

FISHERMEN START WAR
ON BRIGHTON H

BRIGHTON, Eng, July 3.-P-
Bathing suits and fish 90 not mix
in the opinion Of irate fishermen
of Brighton.
Members of the fishing colony
have protested to the town council
that through municipal ordinances
extending the bathing beach facili-
ties, the honest fisherfolk are grad
ually being deprived of their liveli-
hood.
How can we dry and mend our
nets with bathers on the beach?"
demanded Frank Leach, spokesman
Of the fishermen. "Our ancestors
founded Brighton and made it what
it is today. No one will ever turn
us away until we have Fought Tor
our rights"
The men have threatened to tear
down the brand new bathing notices
that have been put up along the
waters edge if the authorities 90
not take action to protect the fish
ing areas.
