COTTON CHALKS
UP GAINS

NEW YORK, May 6 QN.S0.
Ignoring one of the best weekly
weather reports thus far this sea-
son, the cotton market established
moderate gains in morning session
dealings today. Trading was on
the dull side.
While the trade, Liverpool and
Wall Street bought, the South,
New Orleans and the ring were
contributing cotton. The Govern
ment pool was also selling, releas-
ing fair quantities of May and
restricting gains in that contract
somewhat.
Although the weather report for
the past week was distinctly
bulliSh for the crop and bearish
for the market, it had already
been discounted and little atten-
ton was paid to the summary to-
day. The rains in the West dur
ing the past week aided crops
there considerably. In the south
ern half of Texas progress was
reported good and in the north
planting has become more general
since the rains. In the east how
ever, where. until recently, too
much moisture barred planting,
sunny weather of the past three
weeks has dried the top soil a lit
tie too much for best seeding and
termination.
A trade paper reduced its esti-
mate Of acreage as of the end of
April by 10000 acres, from the
previous month, to total of 3O.-
900, 900 acres.
Toward. noon the market con-
tinued q quiet affair. May was
quoted at 11.39 up /, July 11.12 UP

her 1929 I'D d points.

bell in the tenth. It was hope
less. helpless gallantry that car.
ried him on. Never actually
knocked out in is years Of fight
ing, he was able to take what
dubious comfort he might from
the fact that the record stood UP
to the end last night in this, his
final fight.
Otherwise, his performance was
so bad as to be almost unreal. He
almost knocked Tony out in the
first round and reporters scurried
to the girl-bride's box to get her
post-mortem announcement. Then,
one by one, they struggled back.
Tony, his nose Dashed and his
right eye cut, stopped making the
mistake Of leading to McLarnin
and jockeyed James into leading
to him, always sound behavior
against McLarnin. The result
was that the lightweight cham.
pion counter-punched out Of q
crouch, scored a flash knockdown
in the second and went on from
there, never giving McLarnin an
other round.
