New York Cotton
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 2l.-Trading in
cotton was quiet today with a steady
opening followed by moderate reac-
tionS under continued near month
liquidation and scattered selling. July
contracts after selling at 1174 early,
eased off to IL .67, but steadied at that
figure and closed at ll69 The gen.
eral market finished steady at net
declines Of to points.
Orders appeared to be evenly
divided at the opening and first
prices were unchanged to points
higher. There was probably some
buying on the relatively steady show
ing of Liverpool, but this was sup
piled by continuation of near month
liquidation and scattered realizing or
reselling by recent buyers.
Trade interests continued to buy
May against sales of later deliveries,
and there was some week end cover
ing. but general business was re-
Stricted by uncertainty over possible
developments in the monetary Situa-
ton.
The development of a steadier tone
in the dollar in foreign markets prob
ably led to little selling on the decline
which carried May off from II IS to
1853 and October from IL .88 to IL 80.
Covering and the demand from the
trade was sufficient to steady The
comparatively narrow market at these
figures, however, and closing quota
tions were shade up from the lowest.
Reports that President Roosevelt
had signed the Bankhead bill had
been generally anticipated. apparently.
and had little if any market effect
in the late trading. The amount of
cotton on shipboard awaiting clear
ance at the end of the week was esti-
mated at $4,000 bales, against $4,000
last year
The range follows.

Farm Prices Down.
Agricultural prices lost considerable
ground. Weakness was general led
by the grains In addition to lower
quotations for wheat, corn, oats, bar
ley, rye and flaXseed, price declines
were also recorded in sugar, potatoes,
cotton and beans.
Live stock averaged moderately

and lambs.
Building material prices climbed to
new high, the increase during the
week being due to higher quotations
Tor structural steel and lumber.
Hide and leather prices also moved
to a new high for the year, largely
due to the l cent increase in the
price Of hides.
Non-ferrouS metals moved irregu-
larly during the week but ended up at
a lower point than week ago. Sill
yer, tin and zinc led the decline.
Ferrous metals registered a broad
increase under a general mark-up in

participated in the price upswing.
Fine Textiles Decline.
Fine textiles declined quite sharply
Cotton broke under the II cent level
and there was corresponding weak
ness in finished goods. Silk also de-
clined moderately as compared with
the previous week.
Coarse textiles averaged higher un-

 When he lifted it from the wa. tor, doorge said it was the biggest piekerei he over saw. But then came the tragic and startling %. currenee. George swung the hsh with much straining ef his museu. lar back to land and for an in9tn nt inc fiph's snout brushed against the leaves Of m edd.iooklng plant, one George never before saw.
 This leaf apparently was nke food to . starving man Tor sud. denly the mort Ash, ieaped up and off the hook and fopped back Into It's Kingdom, according to ucorge, All his efferts later to ro.hook the Ash, which grew larger with each telling, proved futile. The next tlme he goes fishing, George vows. no will take 6 hand.seythe to clear the area near which he is standing of all brush 50 the next one won't got away.
