 To bolster center field the Reds Iout-bid several clubs, including the New York Yankees, for the services of the veteran Kiki Cuyler when the Cubs made him a free agent. Cuylar has always liked the Gin cinnati park and has played some Of his best baseball there He will prove a good investment IL he can play half the games scheduled for the next couple of years and serve as an outfield replacement.
 Even thes stunt of playing night games has proved a success under MacPhail's magic touch. In their four night games they have taken in $67000-more than the cost of installing the elaborate lighting system-and still have three more games scheduled to be played under the arc lights.

RAIL AND UTILITY
BONDS STILL RISE
Some Exceptions in Junior
Carriers Laid to Week
End Adjustments.
ey the Associated Press.

~ the Associated RreSS.
NEW YORK, June 15.-Railroad
and utility issues registered still fur
ther gains during today's brief session
of the bond market. q. S. Govern
rrent loans displayed Steadiness but
trading was restricted.
While there were few defections
from the upward movement among
Junior railroad loans, largely as a re-
suit of week end adjustments and
profit taking following the sustained
rise over the past several days, the
main body Of these securities ex-
changed hands at advances of to
more than point with numerous
western and southern roads in the
higher brackets.
These included Southern Railway
consolidated IS at S712, Pere Mar
quette SIS at S9%, Nickel Plate 5hs
at 10 and Katy" 412s at 411z. Others
improving included obligations of Bal
tinore & Ohio, Great Northern, New
Haven and Southern Pacific.
Among industrials and utilities, out
standing performances were turned in
by bonds Of the International Tele-
phone, which were picked up in sub
stantial volume by traders and in
Vestors who believed the company had
materially improved its financial po-
sition by relinquishing its paternal
hold upon Postal Telegraph a. Gable
Corp. one of its principal subsidiaries,
which filed petition for reorganiza-
ton in the Federal Court yesterday.
Postal SIS, already hammered down to
nearly "a of their par value, were still
further depressed, losing IA points
on balance at 2714.
Trading in Government bonds was
light due to the absence of many
leading dealers who stay away from
their Offices during the short Saturday
session in the Summer months.
Quoted values, however, were well sus-
tanned and the majority of Treasury
loans edged forward 1872 to as much
as $50, Indirect obligations showed
little change.
Transfers aggregated $6,Os4,OOO, par
value, compared with s4,516000 last
Saturday. The Associated Press aver

New York Cotton
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 15.-Cotton con-
tinued its rally today in moderately
active commission house and foreign
buying promoted by reports Of un-
favorable weather N the cotton belt.
Fina. prices showed net gains Of Z to
8 points.
Early buying from both domestic
and foreign sources was credited
partly to overnight consideration Of
statements by Senator Bankhead
pointing to the relatively small stocks
Of cotton in Tree channels and the
suggestion that little of the approx
mately five and one quarter million
bales controlled Or financed by the
Government would come out much
below Is cents. Heavy rains IN Gen.
tral and South Texas and reports Of
floods in the Southwestern part Of
that State also brought in demand.
Midmornine advances to net gains
of 10 to IL points attracted local real
izing. but the market became steadier
in the late session on trade puying
and covering.
The amount OF cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at $4,000 bales
compared with l9T 900 last year and
113 1000 two years ago.
The range follows:
