COTTON PRICES HIT
NEW LOWS IN WEEK
Market Rallies Bring Out In
creased 0ffering-Securities
Decline Is Factor.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 9-Rallies at
tributed largely to readjustments of the
technical position following previous de-
clines were succeeded by renewed weak
ness in the cotton market here during
the week, with prices reaching new low
levels for the life of the present trading
positions. This was considered reflec-
ton of further liquidation and scat
tered selling promoted by weakness in
the stock market, legislative uncer-
taintieS. tendency to scale down opin-
ions as to the probable decrease in
acreage and more or less disappoint-
ment over the failure of general busi-
ness conditions to improve more rapidly.
Combined with these features, Wash
ington advices appeared to emphasize
uncertainty as to the probable DISPOSE
ton Of Farm Board financed cotton
after the end of this season, which may
have contributed in some measure to
the unsettled ruling of sentiment. May
contracts sold off to $50 or below at
the end of the week, making a decline
of about 130 points from the high level
touched early in March, and while Of
ferings were absorbed by covering and
trade buying on scale-down orders, the
demand tapered off on comparatively
slight bulges. Nevertheless, the demand
was in sufficient volume to slow down
the decline and create points of resist
ance during the progress of the weeks
trading.
Weather conditions were considered
more favorable for farm work in the
South and, according to some authori-
ties, present conditions point to about
the same start for the crop as that of
last year, with the exception that soil
preparation is not so thorough or well
advanced in the northern two-thirds of
the Central and Eastern belts.
A private report on cotton planting
intentions issued during the week
placed the probable decrease in acreage
at 7.3 per cent.

KREUGER & TOLL LOSS
MAY TOP S24O, 900, 900
BY WILLIAM H. sToNEMAN.

Special Radio Dispatch to The Star.
STOCKHOLM, April 9.-It is esti-
mated today that the total losses in
volved in the Kreuger debacle will
amount to between 1900 .000,0 900 and
l,800,000,000 crowns (abeut S240,0 ,000,-
900 and S360,000,000) The latter fig
ure is equivalent to Sweden's national
debt
Among the tremendous listed assets
OF Kreuger & Toll-operating organiza-
tion Of the interests controlled by the
late Ivar Kreuger-which are reported
as missing and which it has been i'm
possible to trace so far, is a block of
$4,000 common shares of the Inter
national Match Corporation. whose
value is listed on the Kreuger books at
approximately $23 900 600.
New light is thrown on the situa-
ton Of the International Match Corpo-
ration with the discovery that the
company is within a short time due to
pay interest amounting to approx
mately sl,500000 on a $50, 10000 bond
issue. This cannot be paid, it is un-
derstood and consequently it may be
possible for any individual American
bondholder to force foreclosure. Lee,
Higginson e. Co. of New York is ap-
parently hoping to collect the proxies
of all the American holders in order
TO prevent hasty action by any individ-
ual
Thus the fate Of the International
Match Corporation is now in the hands
Of the American security holders.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
At SHORT SESSION
Advance Due to Early Cow

Taking.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 9-The Stock
Exchange rallied briskly at the OPEN
ing today, following its long decline,
but Cancelled most of the gains and
in many instances went even lower In
later trading
The sudden and unexpected call on
the officials of the New York Stock
Exchange to present themselves before
the Senate Banking Committee on Mon
day with statement showing the posi-
ton of the short interest as of April
led to some confusion at the opening
OF the market, which was beneficial
to prices. An order had gone out last
night asking for report on short con-
tracts as of April IL. This resulted
in an active covering movement which
in the first half hour produced an
average advance in industrials Of over
points and the most active trading
Tor that period this month.
Additional influences were the rise
IN wheat on the Government crop re-
port showing a possible decrease of
ABOUT 40 per cent in the Winter wheat
output this year. At the same time
an advance of 81 bale occurred in
cotton.
IIe Denent OF the initial covering
movement was lost when the Stock Ex-
change changed the date for the reports
on short contracts from April II to
April 8, coinciding with that demanded
by the Senate Committee. This led to
decline all through the list and the
resumption OF some of the liquidation
IN motors and rails particularly, such
as characterized recent markets.
Union Pacific touched a new low
price. There were heavy offerings of
General Motors following its unfavor-
able report on March sales. Auburn
Auto, after an advance of points from
Fridays level, which was 100 points be-
low the maximum of the year, reacted,
but was able to show a net gain for
most of the session.
The public utilities, United States
Steel, American Can, General Electric
and Allied Chemical we're among the
shares that made the largest gains at
the start, so the inference was that T.
was among these issues that the short
interest was most extensive Evidence
OF this sort was strong in the case Of
American Telephone e. Telegraph,
which started about points higher
On the average about half of the origi-
nal gains we're lost before the market
steadied in the second hour.

Happily for Mr.. Payne and his

Indicate State Budget
Will Have Big Decrease

A decided reduction in the cost of
State government will be effected by
the 193S-34 budget, judging by indi-
cations.
With old sources of revenue drying
up and the extreme unpopuiarity of
new taxes, the State Government has
set an example of economy to the
various counties by saving $75O,0OO
from the allotments for departmental
expenditures during the past year.
1t is hoped that the State will be
able to return 100000 to the treasury
from unexpended allotment in 1933-34.
With this in mind, Walter N. Kirkman
State purchasing agent, has conferred
with all department heads, urging
them to cut expenses to the bone.
While estimates of expenses for
1881 were based on the higher prices
prevailing in 1881, large portion of
the money saved was affected through
taking advantage of the decline in
prices. The budgetary estimate in 1888
will necessarily be based on the lower
prices prevailing, and economies will
have to be brought about by another
means.
The 1888 budget estimate will take
into consideration the $2,5OO,OOO treas
ury balance with which the State will
end its fiscal year October 1, 1888.
The budget estimate has not yet
reached Gov. Richie, but is expected
within few weeks.

In memory you're always near,
Loved, remembered, longed for always
Bringing many sad tears.
My heart cannot tell how miss you,
My lips do not Know what to say,
But only God knows how | miss you,
In my lonely home today.
The one loved has gone to rest,
His firm true heart is still
The hands that always gave me help,
Now lies in deaths cold chill.
My heart still aches with sadness,
My eyes shed many tears
God only knows how miss him,
At the end Of this one year.
You gave no one last farewell,
You said good bye to none,
Your loving heart just ceased TO beat
And left me all alone.
A sad and lonely mother.
