COTTON MART
OPENS EASY
Rains In Southwest Cause
Drop of 9 to 11 Points
In New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS. April 8</P)—
The cotton market opened easy de
spite relatively steady Liverpool
cables. Rains in the southwest
caused moderate selling which forced
May down to 19.62, July 19.68 and
October 19.61, or 9 to 11 points un
der Saturday’s close.
At the end of the first hour the
market was easy and at the lows.
The market was quiet but rather
steadier later with prices working
up a few points from the lowest on
covering, while there seemed to be
further trade buying of near months.
July advanced to $19.84 and October
to $19.75 or within 4 points of Sat
urday’s closing quotations and the
market was steady at net declines
of about 3 to 6 points at midday.
NEW YORK, April 8.—(yTi—Cot
ton opened steady at a decline of 7
to 13 points, with active months
selling 12 to 14 points below Satur
day’s closing under liquidation with
local and commission house selling,
inspired by indifferent showing of
Liverpool and the weather map.
July eased off to 19.76 and De
cember 19.72. The market was quiet
at the end of the first half hour,
with prices showing rallies of four
or five Doints on covering.
Following the early decline trad
ing tapered off, and the market
lapsed into quiet. Near noon mod
erate demand deevloped on a fore
cast of less favorable weather and
on expectations of abullishtextile
statistics tomorrow. The early de
cline was recovered. May selling
back to $19.71, July $19.78 and Oc
tober $19.61, or 9 to 10 points above
the lows and about parallel with
Saturday’s close. At noon the mar
ket was steady but prices eased off
5 to 6 points from the top on real
izing.

Grain Prices Swing
Upward; Corn, Oats,
Wheat Show Gains
CHICAGO. April 8.—i/P'—Grain
prices took a decided upward
swing today after a wavering start.
Buying was associated largely with
current reports that broad plans
of farm relief legislation were tak
ing definite shape rapidly.
Opening at 3-8 cents decline to
1-8 cent rise, wheat later scored a
sharp general advance. Corn, oats
and provisions also were f:rmer,
with corn starting l-8c off to l-2c
un, and subsequently showing gains
all around.

Mysterious maneuvers by Gen. Plu

Central Mexico.
Dispatches from Aguascalientes,
in the heart of the country of the
‘ Cristeros,’’ told of the arrival of
the rebel generalissimo with three
trainloads of picked soldiers. It was
not knowm where the troops were
to go but movement further south
into the state of Jalisco was pre
sumed to be the purpose of Calles.
Other troops of Gen. Saturino Ce
dilla, charged by General Calles to
wage war of “extermination” against
the religious insurgents, were al
ready in Jalisco and neighboring
Quanajuato and there was a ten
dency here to take the appearance
of Calles at Aguascalientes as evi
dence of his determination to rid
the government of elements which j
have troubled it for two years.

_
Sixteen Are Arrested After
‘Commissions’ Sold In
Mythical Army
MANILA. April 8.—<7P>—Sixteen
Filipinos were unde rarrest today
charged iwth planning a “grand re
volutionary army” to overthrow the
present government and substitute
an independent administration.
Police, however, say the scheme
was not serious in its intent, and
it probably would have gone little
farther than the swindling of a
number of natives into purchasing
officers’ commission in the “revolu
tion.’
A raid yesterday netted 21 men. a
large quantity of literature, bolos
and daggers. Five of those arrest
ed. reevaled the leaders had set
prices for ranks in the “army.” Un
der the plan a colonel’s title would
cost 483 pesos, fabou $240), a lieu
tenant-colonel 38 pesos and a major
280.
Revolutionary pamphlets asserting
Japan would send its navy and sup
ply arms were found.

Somehow Bill Doak is always
coming back—and to the Cardinals,
this time. The venerable spitballer,
who was a free agent, signed with
the St. Louis team last week. He
