NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-(P)-Cot-
ton futures were steady to firm
during of most of today's session
with buying interest created by
reports of crop damage and news
that Spain was in the market for
cotton. Extreme gains of about 50
cents bale, however, were NOT
maintained at the final, as profit
taking and hedging in late trading
found buyers reserved. Final
quotations were off 5 cents a bale
to IS cents higher.
Mills were buyers of nearby
positions at the start and this de-
mand continued throughout most
OF the morning dealings. It was
reported that Spain was in the
market seeking approximately 3d.
GOO bales of United States, Mexican
and Brazilian cotton. Most of the
staple however, is expected to be
bought in the United States as
Mexican supplies were SAID to be
.cW.
Advices from the cotton belt
stated that weevil infestation was
spreading particularly in Texas
and Oklahoma with other sections
OF the main producing area re-
porting recent adverse weather as
materially affected prospects.

Dear Mr., Hearst;
The fact that plans
are now under way for
holding in 1946 the an
nual William Randolph
Hearst RoTC Competi-
ton is most encourag-
ing. These competitions
are a healthy adjunct to
our national prepared
ness since they stimu-
late pride in a funda-
mental soldierly skill.
In addition they encour-
age hearty competi
tive spirit among thou
sands of young men who,
because of physical diff
ferences in physical a |
m a keup, might not
otherwise be matched
against one another in
competitive sport.
While II is difficult to
estimate the precise eff
feet Of these competi-
tlons on enrolment in
the ROTC, I feel that
they are a distinct en-
couragement. AS you
know, the need for an
extensive R0TC pro.
gram continues to exist.
Consequently, l believe
the competition per
forms a service TO the
nation, not only by pro-
noting sportsmanship,
but also by fostering
among young men an in
terest in national de-
fense.
Faithfully yours,
G.. G. MARSHALL.

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
Il have just learned that
plans are now being made for
holding the William Ran.
dolph Hearst RoTC Rifle
Competition for 1945. This
is deeply gratifying to me.
The interest inspired by
these matches in the past has
been of great help in attain
ing the current high stan
dards of craftsmanship
among RoTC students.
Former students who are
now officers in the Army
have been able to pass on the
knowledge which they re-
ceived in these matches to
the enlisted men for whose
training they are responsible.
The War Department ap-
preciates the patriotic work
which you have done in spon-
soring the William Randolph
Hearst RoTC Rifle Competi-
tion. Ifeel it has contributed
greatly to our country's de-
fense.
Sincerely Yours,
