COTTON SLIDES
MODERATELY

NEW YORK, June 8 G.N.SO.-
The forward progress of cotton
was checked today and the mar
ket slid from the previous clos
ings, under moderate profittaking
and an appreciate influx Of
offerings.
The list was easier from the
opening call, futures, dropping 8
to S points. Initial losses were
extended slightly late in the
morning.
Liquidation came from commits
sion houses and Wall Street, while
there was a noticeable increase
in sales from the South through
spot houses. Liverpool also sold.
There was the usual overnight
accumulation of price-fixing ordTs
from the trade in moderate
quantity. Professional and wire
house buying helped to limit the
decline.
It was learned today that AAA
officials are quietly working out
their cotton control program for
the 1885 crop, calling for an in
crease of nearly 100000 acres
in the area planted. These Off
Gals hold it imperative that the
1885 cotton crop be of sufficient
size to prevent an undue price
rise which would encourage pro-
duction in other areas. Thus
jeopardizing the position of the
American staple in world trade.
Noon prices were off S to 6
points, with July off 6 at 1877,
october off 5 at 1921, and De-
cember off 5 at 1892.

Efforts to verify the report to.dny were unavnilinR, duo to tho fact that Julius B. Smith, prosl. dent of the concern, was in Now York city and was not expected back to Waterbury until 0.30 O. clock this evening. Tho ncws that such q plan was under eonsidera. ton caused widespread satisfaction. However, with confirmation lack. ing, none of tho civic lenders of Waterbury were inclined to give opini .hs.
 The local plant of the American Mills company is located at tho corner of Mill street and East Liberty streets. Since tho re-. moval of all the local hands to H1mden, tho plant haa been lying Idle. The plant ig considered one of tho most upsto-dnte of It's kind in this part of tho country. Tho removal Of ail tho operations and employees to Hamden caused much regret whom the step was taken. The return of activities here will moan the moving back of tho for" mer Waterbury residents, also.
 nufacturing business is on the gradual pickup in Waterbury, hence tho interest in tho report concern ing tho return of tho American Mills company forces to tho city. At Mir Smiths homo this morn. ing 1t was stated thnt no other of. fieiai of the company would be in . position to verify or deny the report.

The Olympic. apparently undam- aged by the crash, stood by to pick up Captain George Braithwaite and his crew of i6 men. After q briefly flashed radio message reporting the accident, the wireless was silent res garding the fate of the lightship crew.
 First word of the accident reached short from Capt. John w. Binks, commanding the White Star liner, who asked that "all con- cerned" be informed his ship had collided with the Nantucket and sent her down on tho shoals she guards.
 The Nantucket. largest and most modern of the worlds floating lighthouses, was equipped with ra- dio directional devices by which commanders of incoming liners sct their courses.
 It may have been her efficiency. In tho dense fog that bianketed New England waters today, that brought down upon her 46,000 tons of speeding ocean liner, and cut her in two before the Olympic had time to swerve off the course.
 Mariners recently pointed out the danger of steering too true u course along the beam. declaring that with the momentum of ( Ia hA F.ep has little opportunity to veer out of the way of the beam-sending station.
