ed 10 points higher at l0.l5 and adj
vanced to 1924. Trading was active.
Liverpool reported a firm market,
a natural reaction after Mondays
decline and the better tone there was
quickly reflected on TIC New Orleans
market.
Reports of a pending cotton con-
ference In washington Tuesday aft
ernoon also brought out some prof
it-taking and buying orders by
shorts.
The better tone held for the rest
OF the morning and most futures in

gains Of % TO 20 points were shown
by July at 1854, Oct. at 1888 and

considered to be more OF a techni-
cal reaction than an indication tnat
the basic factors under the market

Liverpool. from which the local
market usually takes its cue, was
the original impetus for the rally

ing American liquors under federal
licenses, and. as has been the case
in other parts Of the state, no ef-
fort was made to enforce the Dean
Act-the state liquor law-against
them. The theory behind this nom
prosecution has been that turies
would not convict defendants IN
such cases. and that such trials
would clutter the dockets Of the
courts, costing the county much
money for trials.
Not Bad I'm County
County officers. however. have
handled foreign liquor cases reg
ularly. turning their seizures and
defendants over to the customs for
prosecution in federal court.
I'VE did not have a bad liquor sit

sheriff says, "but the governor has
indicated that he wants the Dean
Act enforced to the letter. Several
church and civic organizations IN
the county also have indicated by
resolutions that they want the Dean
act enforced"
