Further irregularity developed at

influence of a drop in brokers’ loans

public utilities were heavy.

Dr. Foster Hauls
In 100 Pounds of
Tarpon Late Sunday
Dr C G. Foster of Brownsville
landed a six-foot tarpon Sunday
that weighed an even 100 pounds.
It was caught in the pass between
Padre and Brazos islands The bat
tle was hot for 45 minutes before
the big fish was hauled in.
Another ore. said to be larger,
was hooked but it r 1 under the
boat, catching and breaking the
line in the propellor. Dr. Foster re
ported a large number of tarpon
seen in the pass until the tide be
gan to ebb
A large crowd gathered at Batsell

where pictures were taken of the j
victim and the conqueror. The fish!
will be mounted. Dr. Foster said.

ACTIVE MONTH
COTTON RISES
Steady Cables and Cold
Weather Apprehension
Strengthens Price
NEW YORK. June 3 —<*v-Cot
ton opened steady at a decline of
1 point on July but generally 2 to 8
points higher in response to rela- :
ttvely steady cables and apprehen
sions of cold weather. July strength
ened with the rest of the list on
buying believed to be partly for
trade account against sales of Oc
tober. By the end of the firs* half
hour, active months were selling 13
to 15 points above Saturday's clos
ing quotations.
The market developed strength
and activity on the early advance
which extended to 18 37 for July and
18 63 for December or about 26 to 30
points above Saturday's closing quo
tation. There was a good deal of
covering but the demand tapered
off at the higher prices with the
market later easing off several i
points under profit-taking At mid
day trading was comparatively quiet
at net advances.
