NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, March 2.-(P)-Tbe
cotton market was highly ire gular
today. Prices in early dealings rose
to new 22-year peaks but the adj
vance attracted profit-taking and
hedging in mid-session dealings
and thereafter prices moved over
an irregular trend. At the close the
market was 10 cents a bale higher
to Is lower.
Weekend profit taking continued
to uncover steady trade demand
most of the buying was predicated
on prospects for increased con-
sumption of cotton in the United

NEW YUM, MdICu W T-AAiS
stock market today concluded an
other losing week with most lead
ers down fractions to more than 2
points although dealings were the
slowest in about six months.
Persistent pessimism over the
General Motors-union stalemate,
threatened railway and coal strikes,
the outlook for corporate earnings
and cloudy international affairs
were blamed by brokers for extern
sion of the decline. The O.P.A. an
nsuncement of steel price boosts
failed to enthuse most issues in this
field as questions regarding costs
still were prominent. U. S. Steel
ended unchanged, Republic Steel
and Youngstown Sheet off IA each
and Bethlehem up point on re-
stricted sales.
The direction was downward
from the start with motors and
rails soft. Extreme losses of bet
ter than 3 were shaded in most
cases at the close and scattered
gamers appeared. The ticker tape
frequently halted and transfers for
the two hours of $4,000 shares
were the smallest since Sept. q.
They compared with 1890 in
the previous Saturday session two

not be located and that her bag
gage was still in the capital city.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-If the Big Nine Rose Bowl hookup goes through according to Western Conference plans, what effect will it have on schools like Notre Dame, Pitt and Michigan State? They'd like to make it a Big Ten again and have adhered strictly to conference rules on post season play. But if the conference champ goes to Pasadena and if Notre Dame beats Army Cas countless subway alumni think it will the Irish might be hard press ed fer an excuse to decline a bid rom some other bowl. And Pitt apparently is headed for the big time again, with six conference schools on it's l947 schedule :. T The whole deal seems to be aimed at colleges which frankly recruit players and several pungent words may De said on that subject at the winter NCAA meeting. But in the meantime the teams for this seascn's bowl games will be picked without NCAA guidance.

'WHIzzER' WHITE TALK ABOUT PLAY
 ON GRID FOR PAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30-Byron (Whizzer) White says he can't see why it's wrong to play college foot ball for pay if it's the only way you can getsa education.
 You must ask yourself" he told members of the Washington Touch down Club yesterday, what might have happened to these boys had they not had the opportunity to come to college and pay their way with football.
 And they'll have to prove to me that these players are being hurt by the system before I'll condemn it."
 The Whizzer, one of the more learned muscle men of our times came out of Colorado University with Phi Beta Kappa key and a Rhodes Scholarship after a foot ball career which made him an all- America halfback in 1937
 He had a whirl at the pro game before turning to the study of law in earnest. He's doing all right in the legal field, too He's law clerk to Fred M. Vinson, Chief Justice Of the United States.
