NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. March 13-tPE
Cotton opened easier owing to very
much lower cables than due. First
trades showed losses OF 8 points. a
smaller decline than warranted by

to ease off until May traded al

1853, or ii to Is points below yes
terday's close, but rallied 5 to {
points owing to overnight buying

and what appeared to be good gen.
eral support and May traded up X
14.49, July to 14.70 and October IL
i4.T8 or Is to 20 points early lows.
The bulge attracted rather heavy
liquidf ion by yesterdays buyers,

unfavorable response of Liverpool

KITE FLYING
WAKES HOT
Examinations Held by Many
Schools for Honor Of
Representation

Entrants in The Herald kite fly
ing contest r to enter a field sat-
urday in which there will be sever
al champions already selected by
their respective schools. and COM
petition for the gold and silver mon
ey prizes will be forced to send their
kites high into the clouds, If records
already held by some OF the con-
testants are to be considered.
In several schools prospective en-
trants are holding elimination con-
tests to see who shall represent the
school at the championship meet,
to be held at Riverside Park Begin
ming at $3.50 p. m. Saturday.
At Blaylack school competition
has waxed to a point where string
is at a premium and where declara-
tons that the "'sky Is the limit are
to be heard on all sides. At this
school at least half a dozen boys
are in competition TO win the hon
or OF representing their sex at the
Herald contest. Not to be outdone,
four girls have taken to kite flying
and from among their number one
is to be sent TO the first annual
championship meet as a representa-
tive Of Blaylack school TO compete
in the girls division, for which a
grand prize of $500 in gold is Of
fered, aside from the other prizes.
Merchants Of Brownsville report
that from sale Of string and cord
the contest will be difficult for the
Judges. Reports are TO the effect
that many of the contestants IN
tend TO use small gauge, strong IL
men line for the contest, which in
dicates that many Of the boys and
girls are out to establish a record.
BY the use Of such a line a great
deal OF weight Is removed from the
kite with the result that many ad-
ditional yards OF height will be at
tanned by the kites flown for record.
AS there Is no restriction 70 the
size OF kite to be entered. there IS
every likelihood that several box
kites will be entered. The followers
OF the Eagle and Coffin kites, how
\ have always contended that
il was the flying ability and not the
shape OF the kite that made for
height and that 10 amount OF
craftsmanship in box kite construc-
ton could replace kite flying abil-
ity .
At any rate there will be scores
of kites overhead when The Herald
hold its first annual kite flying con-
test at Riverside Park next Satur-
day afternoon. at which time the
Judges with accurate instruments
will begin the judging OF the kites
1t has been decided that 10 every
boy and girl who completes IN TINS
contest, whether such entrant wins
a prize or not. shall be presented
either a kite or ball Of string or kite
flying equipment Of some sort III
this way 1t Is hoped 70 stimulate
interest in this great sport.
