NEW YORK, April 27.-P)-
Weekend covering was held chief
ly responsible for moderate advances
in cotton today and was probably
promoted by relatively steady Liver
pool cables. The bulges met some
further liquidation on a favorable
view of the days weather reports,
but after selling off from 1885 to
1877, July rallied to 1890 and closed
at 1881. The general market closed
steady at net advances Of 4 to 8
points.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of 2 to 10 points in response
to the relatively steady showing of
Liverpool. The market eased off
after the call under liquidation
through wire and commission
houses.
May declined from 1858 to 1851,
December from 1904 to 1899 which
carried the price level back within
2 or 3 points Of yesterdays closing
quotations during the middle Of the
morning.
Closing quotations were about 8 to
9 points off from the best on the
more active positions.
The amount of cotton on ship
board at the end was estimated at
$4,000 against 10000 bales last year,

tained-whether it was used

Presumably the money was

Z ON BOARD

Chapman w. Fowler, counsel for
Capt Robert E, Doyle, of the
Eighth precinct, today challenged
two members of the Police Trial
Board scheduled to hear charges
of insubodination against Doyle and
Private Robert ]. Allen.
Fowler told Major Henry G., Pratt.
superintendent OF police, that he
objected to the presence of Capts.
Q. I. Davis, of the Second precinct.
and W. G. Stott, of the Third, on
the board
He made no objection TO Inspector
Louis j. Stoll, the other member of
the board
Fowler's objections were based on
the ground that Davis and Stott are
not emily Doyle Juniors in point Of
service on the police force, but in
point of age also. Doyle is 5S and
Davis and Stott are each 81. Doyle
is ranking captain on the force in
length of service, with "A years to
his credit.
The attorney said that he was
satisfied with the proposed naming
of Capt. G. P. NJ. Lord of the TfF'r,

Both officers are olde" than Dow.

Fowler told the police chief it
would be agreeable to himself and
his client if the District Commits

the case. and agreed to waive the
right of appeal if they should do SO.
He also suggested that three
business men of good standing be
chosen as a trial board.
Major Pratt, however, has taken
the stand that the charges against

the usual manner. He expressed
