NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, July 5-R-July
cotton futures dropped sharply to-
day in a rush to liquidate holdings
in the spot month. Old July lost
"a points and new %. Later deliv-
cries dipped only l to 4 points.
In the rush to sell, around U.s.
900 bales of old July were liqui-
dated, traders estimated.
Only 4 delivery notices were is
sued and observers were a little
puzzled over severity of the de-
cline. Some suggested pressure
was based on fears more cotton, of
a grade untenderable on new typS
contracts, would be certified for
delivery before July expires on the
18th.
Relative flrmness of later months
was based on reports of further
unwanted rains in sections of the
belt and talk of a higher goverr-
ment cotton loan rate.
Business in Worth street textile
markets was at a standstill as
many houses closed for a long
holiday.

NEW YORK, July 5-R-Rails

Wall street observers said the

believed they may go higher.

CHICAGO, July 5-R-Heavy re-
ceipts Of wheat at principal south

depress domestic prices today.
The market also had to contend
with profit taking sales IS a result
of forecast of partly cloudy wealth
err and probably showers in the
spring wheat belt where moisture
is badly needed. Many traders who
bought Wednesday during the price
advance sold today.

negro slaves, whose efforts resulted
in the humble beginnings Of Metho.
dism in Wilmington during the dec.
aG2 of 1890 to 1900.
Metl!odism gradually expanded In

five separate pastoral charges, a
church membership of between $500
and 1000, and physical properties
having a valuation in excess of half
a million dollars, the Rev. Mr.. Bar
cliff said.
