COTTON QUIET
AND NARROW

NEW YORK. Feb. G.N.S1.
There was little interest in the cot
ton market today and trades once
again were few and far between.
Price fluctuations continued ex.
tremely narrow, with futures how
ering slightly under last nights
final quotations.
Cooperative interests old the May
and July deliveries, while Govern
ment agencies were credited with
purchasing December, which was
said to indicate that spot cotton in
the pool had been sold. Spot
houses and locals sold on a small
scale. The domestic trade bought
on scale down.
Nervousness over the proximity
of the Supreme Courts decision on
the gold clause cases continues to
keep the market in rut. RumorS
that the exchange might suspend
trading if an adverse decision is
handed down have been circulat-
ing for the. past few days, but
many traders are of the opinion
that this would not be necessary.
inasmuch as fluctuations during
any one day are limited to two
cents.
It was learned in Washington
today that Senator Bankhead will
introduce bill in the Senate to
establish an agency similar to the
Home Owners Loan Corporation,
with authority to make loans to
farm tenants to aid them in meet
ing their obligations to purchase
farms. The loans will bear a low
rate of interest, and the principal
will be amortized over a period Of
80 years, the senator said.

COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 G.N.s).-Firm-

coarse yarn cloths market today, as
that had weakened lis
cent the day before were generally
restored to the higher prices which had

at an extremely dull rate. There was
a general state of dissatisfaction in
selling quarters with the occasional
readiness of some mills to whittle
1-16 cent off their holding prices.
Such an attitude was based on the
fact that goods are being quoted too

ROWS TODAY

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 81.
With Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr.,
son of the President, dipping a
varsity oar for the first time,
Harvard oarsmen today hoped to
halt the long string of victories
by Princeton'S powerful crew.
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology was the third entrant in
the Compton Cup regatta in
Charles River basin. Partially
cloudy skies marred the outlook
for the late afternoon regatta.
The Orange and Black, with
five members of Coach Gordon
Sykes victorious eight of last
year, were outstanding favorites
to win the varsity Compton Cup
race for the third consecutive
year.
In the race for 15o-pound
crews, Princeton was favored to
defeat Tech, the only other en-.
trant. In the freshman and
junior varsity contests, both
Princeton and Harvard had the
edge on Tech.
In the varsity race, the Grim.
son hopes rested on an mex.
perienced eight. Young Roose,
welt was in No. 6 position.
