0rs in the cotton goods markets were
displaying a little reluctance to follow
the higher prices established on many
lines and as consequence, trading, al
though fair, was somewhat slower than
in recent sessions. The price tone
continued firm, however, at the higher
levels with mills fully anticipating a
resumption of buying shortly. Failure
to take volume goods Immediately after
an advance in price is considered
natural. A contributing factor in the
reduced volume was the tendency to

Parker, er., had been acting as the governors lieutenant in the fight and the younger Parker, an inspector in the state motor vehicle bureau, had been assigned to help his fatksr.
 Freed under $500 bail in a bizarre justice of the peace court session in the Elks' club lounge 20 minutes after he was arrested, Parker ex. pressed confidence that he would not be extradited to New York.

 "IIl Tight 1t, of course," he said. He refused to say whether he thought Governor Hoffman would refuse to honor on extradition re. quest. Neither Parker nor the governor had warning, before the gray haired detective was arrested, that he had been indicted. State police Lieut.. Louis Bornman Seized him when he sauntered out of the Elks' club on his way home to din- ner.
 Adopting Q poker face, Parker tel- ephoned for a lawyer, James M. Davis. Justice of the peace John Throckmorton went to the club ifn- mediately, called "court" to order with Q rapping of knuckles on card table, and released Parker url- der his own bond.
