CROP ORTS
HOLDING DOWN
COTTON PRICE
Unfavorable Crop Develop-
ments Only Factor Which
Will Increase General Price
Level to Any Extent
(By Henry Clews A Co.)
NEW YORK June 28.—In the
absence of important fresh develop- *
ments the fluctuations in the cotton j
market have been of more limited
proportions with local influences
and readjustments of technical mar-
ket conditions in the main responsi-
ble for the alternate periods of
strength and weakness. There has
been a marked absence of selling
pressure with the development of i
better weather in the cotton States I
and a fair amount of trade support
has developed on nil price recessions. I
Aside from theories of the ultimate;
upward course of the market based 1
o ntbe law of supply and demand
there has not been much to en-
courage bullish speculative opera-
tions except for quick turns. The
liquidation of old crop commitments
continued owing to the approach of
notice day for July deliveries and
reports of an increased desire on
the part of Southern spot owners to^
close out the balance of stock on
hand.
Conditions Generally Good
Better crop progress is now re-
ported over the greater portion of
the cotton belt. Temperatures have
averaged about normal during the
past week and the rainfall was gen-
erally of a local character. In Tex-
as the crop is reported as making
fair progress although a few sections
need more moisture. Fairly good
conditions are reported in the West-
ern belt and in the Carolinas but
the average of reports from Geor-
gia fail to indicate any material im-
provement an account of previous
wet weather. in many scattered lo-
calities Taken as a whole the pros-
pects for a fair sired yield have im-
proved somewhat recently lathough
the season’s final production will
depend upon climatic conditions
during the critical period of July
and August.
Yara and Cloth Markets Quiet
The cotton yarn and print cloth
markets are quiet with current quo-
tations called nominal orobably ow-
ing to the willingness of yarn deal-
ers to do business at some price
conceptions. The aim of most yarn
spinners appears to be to start the
coming season ’ with all the high
priced old crop yarns sold and mar-
keted. With new crop cotton con-
tracts selling at from two to three;
cents a pound below current spot
quotations .buyers of both finished
and unfinished goods are naturally
encouraged to hold off as long as
possible in anticipation of a corres-
ponding gradual reduction in prices
for most descriptions of cotton
goods.
Put Off Supply Purchase
Heavy duck and other fabrics
used for automobile purposes now
show signs of accumulation owing
to the recent falling off in demand.
The general tendency to put off
purchasing of fresh supplies so
much in evidence recently and the
present hesitation in normal buying
are expected to lead to increased
demand from retailers and small
country merchants in the early fall
season through actual necessity to
replenish depleted stocks and to
meet the regular steady requirements
of consumers. The most encourt'ing
feature in the domestic textile trade
outlook is the increased export in-
quiries reported recently for stan-
dard cotton goods.
_ m mm . . •
Lxponi oeiow cipcci«iivu«
The exports of cotton goods fro*m
this country have been well below
trade expectations for some time
past owing to the comparatively
high price levels that have prevail-
ed. Recently however there is un-
mistakable evidence that the export
movements to South America the
West Indies and the Orient will be
much larger for the next six months
than they have been during the first
half of the year. The general
knowledge that a full sized produc-
of American cotton is necessary this
year and the generally bullish sta-
tistical position continue to attract a
fair amount of trade and general
support on all price recessions. How-
ever. in view o fthe general apathy
of the bullish speculative element
and the unsettled surrounding trade
and financial conditions it would
seem to require some positive un-
favorable crop developments to I
bring about further advances above
current levels that will be maintain-

FULL REPORT ON
FLOOD CONTROL
(Continued from Pure 11
second feet passing from the river
through the Donna flood-way. The
flood channel along the Sardinas
should carry 40000 second feet from
the Mission flumes to Pharr-San Juan
west line from this point to the junc-
tion with the channel from the Donna
flood-way the main channel should car-
ry 110000 second feet and thence to
the point of division at the east end
of Llano Grande Lake the capacity
should he 130000 second feet. From
the print of division approximately 70-
OOO «ec< nd f»4.t should be delivered
into the Arroyo Colorado and approxi-
mately 60(100 second feet should be
discharged through the nerth chan-
nel.
Principal Details of Work.
(1) From the Mission flumes to the
Pharr-San Juan west line there shall
he constructed a chaauul having
capacity of 40000 second feet follow-
ing the course of the Sardinas resa-
ca. A continuous levee shall be built
to form the south side of this chan-
nel. On the north side the “first
bench” generally will serve tu confine
the water but levers will be needed in
some localities.
(2) To conduct the water frim the
Grangeno basin to the Sardinas resa-
ca at the Pharr-San Juan west line
there shnli he constructed a water-way
of 70000 second feet capacity. A levee
will be built along each side of this
channel.
(3) From the junction of the chan-
nels from Mission and from Grangeno
near the Pharr-San Juan west line
the main flood channel shall extend to
the end of Llano Grande Lake follow-
ing approximately the course of the
floodway of the Hidalgo Drainage Dis-
trict Number One and including Cruz
Resnca and the Llano Grande Lake.
This channel shall have capacity cf
110.000 second feet down to its junc-
tion with the channel of the Donna
spill-way and thence to the east end
of Llano Grande Lake a capacity of
130.000 second feet. Generally there
will be low levees on both sides of
this channel but for a part of the
way its north hank will be formed by
the “first bench.” Excavation will be
necessary in some sections of this chan-
nel.
(4) Levers shall be constructed from
the I>onnn flood-way to the main chan-
nel to form a water-way having a
capacity of 20000 second feet.
(5) The cut from the lower end of
Llano Grande Lake through the Fuste
to the Arroyo Colorado shall be en-
larged by dredging and the construc-
tion of levees to have capacity equal-
ing that of the Arroyo; or if found
more expedient a part of the water
going north from Llano Grande Lake
may be passed around north o( the city
of Mercedes and through the Anaquitas
Arroyo to the Arroyo Colorado tn
which case the rapacity through the
Fuste will be approximately 45000
second feet.
<6> To the north of Mercedes a chan-
nel having a capacity of 60000 second
feet shall be provided. This will be ac-
complished by building levees along
both sides and making considerable ex-
cavations at places.
The work already dme in this sec-
tion by the American-Rio Grande Land
and Irrigation Company will be utiliz-
ed beyond this work the channel will
extend through a series of natural de-
pressions flanked by levees as far to-
wards the coast as it is necessary to
confine the flood water. The most de-
sirable location for the lower end of
this channel cannot be determined un-

MRS. B.E. CLARKE
GAINED 37 POUNDS
BY TAKING TANLAC
One of the most interesting of
the many remarkable statements in
connection with the Tanlac treatment
was made recently by Mrs. B. E.
Clarke. 616 South Willow St.. Sher-
man. Texas.
“Nearly all my life" said Mrs.
Clarke. “I had suffered from
stomach trouble. Three years ago
I was almost past going but Tanlac
restored my health completely and
I actually gained thirty-seven pounds
in weight. I’ve not taken a dose of
medicine since I finished my Tan-
lac treatment but I can’t remember
ever feeling any better than I have
since then and do now.
“And one of the most wonderful
features of my case was that I got
rid of a persistent weakening cough
wheih had worried me for thirty
til further surveys arc made.
(7) In the vicinity of Mercedes
there shall be constructed adequate
control works which will opi rate im-
properly divide the flood waters be-
tween the Arroyo Colorado and the
Campacnus Channel flow.ng north
ward.
(8) In the Arroyo Colorado excava-
tions shall he made at several place#
and obstructions removed. Alonjr its
hanks levees shall be constructed where
they are needed tq prevent serious
spread of water. When so improvtd this
Arrcyo will have capacity to safely car-
ry 70000 second feet.
Cuatn.
It will be readily understood that
because of lack of complete data und
lack of time to consider in detail all
the existing data fully detailed esti-
matts <f costs have not be n attempv-
• ed hut approximate estimate.- have
been made for each ptincipal feature
and tv.- feel warranted in staling that
works as have been indicated heiein
may be constructed at a total co t not
exceeding Four Million Dollars.
No budges. «r other structures
across the- flood-ways have been con-
sidered because it is believed that
communities for whose bent fit such
structures may be built should pay for
them.”

INJURED EYES END
CAREER OF BOXERS
ST. PAUL. June 28.—Mike Gib-
bons. the middleweight brother of
j Tommy Gibbons challenger for the
j heavyweight crown known in ring
circles around the world as “The
Phantom” and Saph McKenna the
bantamweight who was a pocket
edition of the older Gibbons will
never box again because of defec-
tive vision.
In his last few starts the Phantom
collided with punches which in other
days would have whizzed harmless-
' ly by. been blocked with elbow or
I__«
shoulder or have been picked off
i with a glove before well started. It
j was not until he visited an eye spe-
' cialist that *Mike learned that the
! sight of one eye was virtually gone
i due. it is believer to a loose lace of
a glove striking it.
McKenna was recently dismissed
* »<i •» hov’Mtal where he was taken
following his last bout with Johnny
Ertle. former bantam weight title
claimant in which Ertle shaded him
and landed a blow which definitely
I put out of the ring one of the clev-
! crest little boxers ever developed in
this section. Physicians declared
McKenna’s eye would never regain
^it.s usetulness.
McKenna who worked with Gib-
bona in training had Mike’s style to
the last detail. He was not as in-
clined as the Phantom to stay in
close but showed ns well in flashy
footwork and speed. •
