COTTON MARKET
STEADY, RISES
General Advance of 12 To
13 Points Over Yes
terday’s Close
ORLEANS, April 9.—OP)—
The cotton market opened steady
at an advance of 6 to 8 points in
response to higher Liverpool ca
bles than expected. Buying con
tinued due probably to rains and
expectations of a bullish textile re
port to be issued after the close to
day.
May sold up to 19.94, July 20.01
and October 19.82, or 12 to 13
points above yesterday’s close. The
market was steady and near the
highs.
k Some realizing developed during
the second hour but was absorbed
by shorts covering on the unfavor
able weather outlook. May advanced
to $20.00, July $20.06 and October
$19.88, or 17 to 19 points above yes
terday’s close.
This further advance attracted
renewed realizing and this coupled
with some May liquidation carried
prices off 6 to 9 points. At noon the
market was steady.
— *—
NEW YORK, April 9.—(JP)—Cot
ton opened steady at an advance of
3 to 8 points on a less favorable
view of .weather news and steadier
cables. There was considerable
realizing, but covering was active,
and there seemed to be local or
commission buying.
July sold up to 20.08 and Decem
ber to 20.05, making pet advances
of about 12 to 17 points. The mar
ket was within 2 or 3 points of the
best at the end of the first half
hour.
, Buying became more active on
apprehensions that rains would
work eastward and there might be
another wet spell in the South. July
sold up to 20.15 and December to
20.14, making net advances of 19
to 24 points on the active months.
These prices brought in consider
able realizing, however, while de
mand tapered off somewhat late in
the morning. The market at mid
day showed reactions of 8 or 10
points from the best.

CALLES MOVES
(Continued from Page One.)
ing westward from Juarez and
other Chihuahua points.
This, together with word from
Mexico City that General Calles
was headed for Culiacan, Sinaloa,
to take personal qommand of a
drive northward into Sonora, the
heart of the rebel country, indi
cated the principal theater of war
has been shifted to the west.
At least two important obstacles
appeared in Escobar’s path. The
first was the uncertainty as to
whether his main army would be
able to enter Sonora before inter
ception by federals. Forces from
General Cardenas also were re
ported to be heading toward Pul
peto Pass, through which Escobar’s
rebels were expected to enter
Sonora. The second was the fed
eral garrison at Naco. Sonora, on
the Arizona border east of here.
Less than 1.200 loyal federals
under General Lucas Gonzalez have
held the Naco fortifications against
repeated attacks.by the rebel gen
eral Fausto Topete. Federal pos
session of Naco constitutes a foot
hold which the federals might use
as a base to the rear of the rebel
army in the event the revolution
aries meet Calles forces in south
ern Sonora.
REBELS NEAR PRESIDIO
TO FIGHT EX-MATES
PRESIDIO. Texas. April 9.—(/P>—
Mexican federals, rebels until they
killed the insurgent commander at
Ojinaga, across the border from
here, and took control of the town
in the name of the government,
peered toward the rough country to
the south today where a bartd of
rebels was reported moving on
Ojinaga.
The counter revolutionists, about
150 in number, felt little alarm as
they gripped the rifles and machine
guns they wrested from their for
mer comrades. They had moved
quickly after killing Lieut. Col. Raul
Cardenes, the commander, and
Captain Quintanilla, one of his
aides.
The avenging contingent was
feared to be moving up from the
San Carlos and San Palvo sectors,
about 40 miles south and east of
Ojinaga. Should the invaders
actually arrive, they were not ex
pected before dusk or. early tomor
row, due to the difficult march be
tween them and the border cit.v
Meanwhile, about 50 federals to re
inforce Ojingaa were expected soon.
Presidio felt little concern over
the situation. Sunday's battle, al
though bullets dropped frequently
into Presidio, did no damage on
the American side, and a U. S. cav
alry contingent here was prepared
as before, to remove Americans
from the danger zone.
