COTTON PRICES
GO SLIGHTLY
HIGHER

NEW YORK, June "a U.NS).
Cotton futures today moved with
in a narrow range holding fairly
steady at slightly higher levels.
Trading was limited in volume
with little in the days news to
influence any definite upward
trend.
Fair Accumulation
July liquidation prior to first
notice day next Tuesday, con-
tributed some pressure in the
ringe once more, but was offset
by trade and spot house pur-
chaSeS.
Spot firms were credited with
transferring hedges to distant
positions at New York and Liver
pool. There was a fair overnight
accumulation of trade buying
orders, mostly from the Con-
tinent, in distant months, sold
by New Orleans and local pro-
fessional traders. Commission
houses liquidated July contracts.
Yesterday the exports we're in
excess of 22,500 bales, with about
1000 to the Orient and the bal
ance, excepting about 5000 to
Canada. going to Continental
countries.
European Feeling
Houses with European connec-
tionS point out that a distinctly
better feeling toward the cotton
market is apparently developing
abroad. The reports from the
South. however, indicate no
marked increase in demands for
spots for the moment.
At noon July was up 3 at 5.22,
October up 2 at 5:46, December
up 2 at 5.61, January UP l at $50,
March up 2 at 5.84, and May up
l, at 500.

HOME LOAN AID
URGED HERE

The Fifth Federal Reserve
banking and industrial committee
announced last night, after an
extended meeting in the Riggs
Bank board room. that it. had
adopted a resolution urging all
financial agencies in the area
to exercise the utmost possible
liberality in the renewal and ex-
tension of loans to home owners.
An investigation, which has
been ordered continued, indicates
that many unemployed could be
given work on public and private
construction jobs which would
be undertaken in this territory
if adequately financed. and for
these, too, a liberal attitude on
the part of banks and other loan
agencies was beSpoken.
The meeting was presided over
by Edwin c. Graham, of this
city, chairman, and was attended
by Robert v. Fleming, represent
ing the Washington banks, and
by business and banker repre-
SentativeS from Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North and
South Carolina.

Bureau of Business ReSearch
In such dull markets as have
recently prevailed, the question
always arises, which way will the
cat jump? Or will it jump at all
in the near future?
No one can tell with certainty.
That is just the reason why
small traders are well advised
to stay out.
It seems sensible to believe
that news" is being awaited as
a deciding factor, and as I have
no way of anticipating this myS-
terious news, I hesitate to guess
at the next minor move.
Two Probabilities
OF two things, however, I feel
that there is a reasonable prob
ability:
1t is probable that eventually
the averages will see new lows,
and that several Of the most
prominent stocks will sell much
lower.
1t, therefore, seems clear that
the news that Is now 50 widely
anticipated is being considered
as good news" and that If it
comes the effort will be to mark
prices up. If this were not the
case, 1 should think that more
signs of liquidation or selling
pressure would have developed by
this time.

Be1Uare Buying, Especially
On Rally Haney Warns

Some Of the reasons why look
for an eventual further decline
are as follows:
A good many important stocks
are still high, when allowance is
made for increased capitalization.
/ The trend of earnings and divi-
dends is plainly downward and
seems likely to continue so for
at least another quarter. Other
cases such as Sears Roebuck,
American Smelling and B. M. T.
are to be expected.
Government Worries
We are not through with Gov.
ernment financial difficulties,
and have hardly touched the "re-
lief" problem.
But meanwhile, there is much
talk, even among the smarter
traders, Of an early run-up of
moderate proportions. The idea is
that they" are letting stocks
down to encourage the shorts.
Then some news will be sprung
and the shorts will be run in.
1t might be well to take in a
little sail if you are short of the
market. I would hesitate to sell
short at the moment. But I
would certainly not buy stocks
here, and least of all if that
much-talked of rally were to de-
velop.
I would especially avoid such
leading stocks as American Can,
Steel, and Telephone, and the
rails

STOCKS ARE HIT
7 IN NEW WAVE
!: Of SELLING
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June % QN.SO.
Dividend uncertainties accompa-
MED by renewed liquidation out
weighed the rediScount rate cut
here late yesterday and the stock
market Went lower today after
an early furry on the upside.
American Can, AtChiSon and
Allied Chemical bore the brunt
Of the selling in the first hour.
All three have dividend meetings
next week and considerable doubt
exists whether present rates will
be maintained.
Liquidation Spreads
The selling spread to other is
sues where later dividend meet
ings are scheduled, principally U.
s. Steel preferred and American
Telephone. Can, AtchiSon and
Steel preferred went to new bear
market lows while Allied and
Telephone came within a frac-
tion of their former bottoms.
Steel also came in for renewed
pressure and broke through its
previous resistance points.
Liquidation was apparent in
other issues, notably Western
Union, which came out on the tape
in considerable volume and lost
more than point. Sears Roe
buck was another and was driven
down to a new record low.
Further selling came into Allied
Chemical in the early afternoon
and this issue also went to new
low.
Bank Failures Hurt
Neither the news nor outside
markets provided any supporting
influence. Developments in the
last "a hours included more than
a score of small bank failures in
the Middle West, largely in Chi
cago, while abroad delegates at
Lausanne and Geneva continued
to wrangle about debts and arma-
mentS.
Rails were carried down by the
break in Atchison, which sold at
the lowest levels since the turn
of the century. Union Pacific
found a thin market and lost
nearly 3 points while New York
Central was heavy.
Trading activity failed to show
any notable increase despite the
decline and volume continued
around the low levels of the last
four days.

 and so on with an in-

SCORING CHANGES

No Trump Tricks - Instead of counting each no trump trick as 35 points the new values are 30 points for the list, 3rd, 5th and 7th tricks and 40 points for the End, 4th and 9th tricks. The score for two, four, or six no trump is the same as the old score (70, 140, 210, while the values of one, three, five and seven no trump are five points less than under the old code. Thus, five no trump formerly counted l75. Now it is ITO.
 Under the new code all lives" are automatically el limi n a e d from the last digit of a score. The mistakes in addition thus will be materially decreased. A three no trump contract is val ued at 100 points, the same as a game contract in diamonds or clubs. Heretofore the five point advantage in favor of the three no trump contract stimulated much unnatural bidding in dupli- cate in the endeavor to play a hand at a contract of three no trump.
 Omission of Premiums for Making Doubled Contracts.-The old laws gave the bidding side too much of an advantage, since the De- clarer's side had so much more to gain, if doubled contract was made, than the adversaries if the contract was defeated. Thus un- der the old laws, if a contract of four hearts, doubled not vulner- able, was made the Declarer gained ITO points extra while the adversaries could gain but 50 points extra if the contract was defeated one trick. Under the new rule the Declarer'S gain is only 120 points.
 Reduced Premium for Undoubled Overtricks-The premium for un- doubled overtricks has been re- duced from 50 points per trick to the corresponding odd trick value. Thus, If player bids two hearts and makes three hearts, he will score 60 points below the line and 30 points above the line. The premium for overtricks in a doubled con- tract remains unchanged, i. e. 100 points for each doubled over. trick when not vulnerable ant 200 points for each doubled over trick when vulnerable.
 This change has been in eff feet, in all duplicate bridge con- tracts four years and has proved very popular.
 Changes in Undertrick Penalties The new code has increased somewhat the doubled, not vul- nerable undertrick penalties. The undoubled vulnerable penal ties remain at 50 points pei trick. This was. one of the ma jor defects under the old laws since it encouraged sacrifice bid ding to an undesirable extent However, the new penalties wil allow the non-vulnerable sidt considerable latitude in overbid ding activities.
 A comparison of the old ane new penalties follows:
