Cotton futures today experienced
the heaviest hedge selling of the
season so far, with final prices
$1.25 to $3.50 a bale lower.
The market also absorbed a
fair amount of profit taking or
ders which were induced by re-
quest that President Truman call
a parley to cope with the rise
in living costs.
Traders explained that the
recent rise in cotton prices has
finally attracted producer selling
of new crop cotton. On the de-

There also was some covering

sented evening up operations,

these, read this book. The whole
jo5 is unfolded in a simple and
scnlrt.nr rnance". starting from the
mood of spring and continuing to
the harvest.
Mr. Pryor makes some excellent
points. For instance, he advocates
that gardening should not become a
labor, with the gardener setting UP
for himself the task of producing
specimens which are museum pieces
in the flower and vegetable world
He advises sticking to certain spe-
cies which are known to thrive in
the neighborhood. Why, when you
are gardening for fun and for the
pleasure Of drinking your evening
martini amidst the radiance of your
handiwork, should you subject your
self and your limited garden space
to trial and error? The result is
usually error and bare earth is your
only reward. So stick to things that
like to grow here.
Mr.. Pryor has gone into careful
but simple detail about fertilizing,
landscaping, herb growing, vegetable
growing, propagation by layering,
and, in fact, everything one could
ever want to know about how to
make a garden grow. Read this book

This symbolic novel is the fourth
in the series of prehistoric explora-

Testament of Man" The others
were Darkness and the Deep" 1.-THE
Golden Rooms" and "Intimations of

adam and the Serpent" describes
the waning days of the matriarchal
tribe. The character called Dove
has dared challenge the authority
and wisdom of the old women who
rule the tribe, of the very ascend
ancy of womanhood on which all
laws and customs are based.
Dove is a philosopher, prophet
in his primitive way. He explores
the magic of the times and ponders
why women rule and men cringe
at their command. In the end, his
covert rebellion Is discovered and
he is destroyed. But he has planted
seeds of skepticism and ambition
among the men which one day will
raise them to power.

would operate in several other ways
to promote responsibility as well as

It is not possible in a brief review

The title story. 1T May Never
Happen" presents at least one per-
son, Mr.. Phillimore, whom you're
not likely to forget. You couldn't
ask much more of short story. A
lighter. decidedly humorous stroke
colors THE Oedipus Complex, .
which. by the way, has nothing to
do with the oedipus complex. THE
Voice" is MADE dramatic by under
statement. The Fly in the Oint-
ment" is as dark study in charac-
ter contrast as I've seen outside of
Chekhov or Maupassant.
The opening story, The Sailor" is
memorable for both its atmosphere
and people. Mr.. Pritchett's chief
asset, it seems to me, is that his
stories, like Dorothy Parker's, seem
complete even when nothing much
happens-not mere fragments of
narrative. &C. B. ].
