j. A. C.-Some authorities do not
distinguish between answer and reply,
but Alfred Ayres says: These two
words should not be used indiscrim-
inately. An answer is given to ques-
ton; reply to an assertion. When
we are addressed, We answer; when we
are accused, we reply. We answer let
tiers and reply to arguments, statements
or accusations they may contain" The
difference is so slight that it need
cause no grave concern if one word is
used in place of the other.

Cotton futures turned weak to-

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, June 8 Q.N.SO.
Stocks were left to shift for
themselves yesterday. The bal
ance was on the selling eide and
the result was a drab exhibition
with the list showing a heavy
tone. There was some buying
for renewal Of the rally but no
news materialized to start this
off.
It was significant, however,
that bonds continued to do better
and that the dollar gave the best
exhibition Of strength in two
months.
Reasons for buying stocks ex-
cept on a strictly hit-and-run
basis continue lacking, but it is
encouraging to see signs Of I'M
provement in the financial struc-
ture.

NEW YORK, June 8 G.N.S).
The end Of the gold flow from
this country loomed today as the
dollar continued its abrupt re-
versal of yesterday with another
strong performance.
Sertngth was concentrated prin-
cipally against the currencies Of
France, Holland and Switzerland.
The franc slipped to .03941a, or
well below the point at which
shipments from here are profit
able. Swiss francs dropped .0002
to 1857, and the guilder dropped
to .4053, against a. recent high Of

New Lows in May
May production Of pig iron and

NEW YORK, June 8 U.N.SO.
Reaction ruled the stock market
for the third successive day to-
day. A combination of unfavor-
able business statistics and uncer-

Added to these were fresh
break in wheat both in Chicago

Supporting factors were re-

revelation that the 500, ,000, 900

Leading stocks dropped a point

and then stiffened. Trading was
light and the market showed lit
tie pressure, the trading COM
munity marking time pending
developments.
There were several weak spots.
B. M. T. continued it's precipitate
decline of the last few days and
dropped about 2 points more to

through its previous resistance
point.
Woolworth was heavily sold
following the surprise announce
ment Of the resignation of Hubert
T. Parson, its president.
Rally is Short Lived
Rails drifted lower with Atchi-
son and Union Pacific giving up
about a point apiece. Tobacco
shares met further profit-taking
induced by their sharp run-up in
last weeks rally.
Food stocks were heavy while
oils gave ground fractionally fol.
lowing increase in petroleum pro-
duction for the week.
Rallying tendencies developed
about noon but failed to carry
far, and fresh unsettlement was
created when B. M. T. preferred

common broke its moning low.
