COTTON HOLDS STEADY
DURING PAST WEEK
Irregular Movements Character.

/ Range Was Small,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated ffesS.
NEW YORK, May 21-The cotton
market has been more or less irregular
during the past week, but prices have
held fairly steady within range of
some Is or 30 points. A slight advance
early in the week was attributed to
trade buying and covering accompanied
by rather a less favorable view OF
weather conditions in the South, but
the bulges met increased offerings
which may have included little selling
for Southern account as well as real
izing or liquidation.
A sufficient demand developed from
the trade on the declines or scale-doWn
orders to steady the market. however
and prices Stiffened up again toward
the end of the week on renewed cover
ing promoted by reports of better tone
in the stock market and announcements
/ that a committee of banking and in
dustrialists had been appointed to CO.
operate with the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation in the credit expansion
program.
The buying, however, was by nc
means active or general. and according
to local brokers, the market appeared
to be awaiting the further progress OF
legislative uncertainties in Congress
The weekly report of the Weather Bu-
reau read rather less favorably, indi-
eating that warmer weather was needed
in most sections and that moisture had
been deficient in many places in the
Eastern belt, but was followed by re-
ports of rains in the Southeast, with
clear and warmer weather in the West
Private advices reaching here from
the South had been regarded by the
trade as indicating that aside from
minor drawbacks. the crop is getting a
fairly favorable start, although the re-
duction in the use of fertilizer and the
possibility of boil weevil damage have
yet to be reckoned with.

Charles Reed of New York, repre-

the House Ways and Means Committee
in Washington last week and asked for
a tariff adjustment to prevent unfair
competition of titanium ore from India
with similar ore being mined in Nelson
County. Indian ore producers now are
able to sh'a titanium to the United
States at lower price than it can be
produced in this country. it was said.

Oil Stocks.

NEW YORK, May 81 (SpeciaD In
the midst of the general beariShness on
nearly all industrial stocks, there is a
moderate degree of confidence in the
shares of the oil refining and produc-
ing companies. Incidents that have
been developing this sentiment are the
resumption of dividends by Ohio Oil
and Seaboard Oil, reports of small
profits in the first quarter of the year
by some of the companies, the decision
Of the Supreme Court sustaining the
Oklahoma prorating law. and the con-
ference now being held in New York
by international leaders in the petro-
feum industry. The fact also that regu-
lar dividends were declared last week
by Standard of New Jersey and Stand
ard Of California has encouraged hold
ers Of. oil shares to stick to their
investments.

VALUATION OF
PROPERTY TO BE
CUT so PERCENT

Valuation of property in Santa
Cruz county for assessment purpos-
es will be cut approximately 80 per-
cent, thus throwing the total valu-
alton of the county below the $10,-
COO 900 mark and automatically plac-
ing this county in fourth class, it
became known definitely yesterday
The reduced assessment, it was
pointed out by local business man,
will probably mean a higher tax
rate, unless the board of supervisors
cuts every corner possible in the
budget for 1928.
Another local man said that there
will be quite a big reduction in the
budget total because of the great
savings made in the schools and
other economies. It is his opinion
that these savings, and placing the
county in fourth class, may mean a
lower tax rate than that of 1892.
