BALTIMORE, Mar. 27.-Forty-
six Of the Nations best handicap
horses, from the winter campaigns
in Florida, California and Louisiana
and from seasonal retirement, were
declared eligible today for the 42d
running of the time-honored Dixie
Handicap at Pimlico May 10.
Most noteworthy is Calumet
Farms Armed, named best handi-
cap horse of the year after captur-
ing the 1945 Pimlico Special.
Armed has been reaping a golden
harvest for owner Warren Wright
in Florida during the winter
months, his Widener triumph being
the outstanding success In the
grapefruit circuit.
Others calculated to give Armed
a battle in the $50, 0,000-added Dixie
are Concordian, First Fiddle, Snow
Boots, STRIDE and Hillyer Court. And
emerging from winter retirement
are Stymie. Gallorette, Founders
Trymenow and Polynesian, the 1945
Preakness winner.
The 3-16-mile Dixie, one of the
fixtures at the Pimlico spring meet
ing, will be run the day before the
Preakness 1t is the Maryland
Jockey Clubs richest event for
handicap horses.
Concordian, owned by B. A. Muir.
ply, must be regarded because Of
his stunning victory over Armed In
the McLennan Handicap several
weeks ago. .Outrun by Armed in the
rich Widener, Concordian will seek
revenge in the Dixie.

E YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, April 30 @ -
Cotton futures declined IS cents to
$1.O0 a bale in light trading Tues
day.
Persistent liquidation and some
hedging was stimulated by the con-
fusion in the price control picture.
Hestitancy of mills to buy was at
tributed to price uncertainties and
the possibility of higher wage de-
mands.
Among the trade it was estimat-
ed that if the mid-July par
ity, on which the 1916 loan will
be based, is the same as the April
figure OF 22.44 cents a pound the
average loan on the 1916 crop at
92h per cent of parity would APP
proximate 22.44 cents. This would
compare with 1945 loan of 21.09
cents on middling 1916 inch cot
ton.
Spot cotton markets were quiet
firm.

GRAIN
CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. April! 3d. N) May
rye, off to 6 weak start Tuesday,
rallied toward the nooa hour and
shot up the daily 5 cent limit at
the close on active short covering.
Deferred oats followed a more or
derby pattern in advancing a cent
from the days low level.
The weak start in the active con-
tracts was the result of a carry
over of Mondays selling orders.
after rye had floundered to the
permissible low for the day. The
Minneapolis market offered no en-
couragement showing a 5 cent loss
shortly after the opening.
Oats III Demand
However there was good absorp-
ton of deferred oats around " cent
under the previous finish, and as
the day advanced buying orders
out-striped offerings. The bulk Of
buying was attributed to cash III
~terests. One factor in the increase
of rye and oats was an order by the
Office of Price Aoministrat ad-
vancing the price Of rye bread 2
cents per pound.
At the close wheat, orn and bar
ley were bid al their respective
ceiling prices, $1.83h, $1.2lk and
$1.26h. Oats were unchanged to
u higher than yesterdays close
May 80 and rye was unchanged to
5 cents higher, May $2.57%.
No Wheat Trade
No outright trades were record
ed in wheat corn and oats. Goa
siderable confusion was reported
in cash grain circles over new in
structions ordering country ship
pers to discontinue submitting Of
fers to purchase corn under the 80
cent bonus program at the termln-
ais. Instead country shippers are
to wire the Commodity Credit corp
Grafton direct for shipping instruc-
tons. This order was interpreted
to mean shutting off purchases
from the country on a to-arrlve
basis.
The Chicago Board of Trade an
nounced Tuesday that the last day
for trading in May contracts will
be May %. May contracts remain
ing open after, that date are to be
settled by delivery of the actual
cash commodity, the board said.
