N. Y. COTTON NEW YORK. July 31.—(04—Cot ton opened firm today at an ad vance of 14 to 20 points on a con tinuation of the recent buying movement which appeared to be stimulated by higher cables, unfav orable features in the weather news and continued talk of increasing weevil damage. October contracts sold up to 19.10 and March to 19.44, or 20 to 23 points net higher, and the market was firm within a point or two of the best at the end of the first half hour. However, the advance met considerable realizing and some southern selling. There was a feel ing that the eastern belt was get ting too many showers in view of the boll weevil situation and that rain was needed in west Texas. Liverpool cables reported local. Continental and Bombay buying in that market on adverse weather re ports from the South.

Canales Explains Border Labor Law MEXICO CITY, July SO.—OP)— Felipe Canales, acting secretary of interior, clarified the situation with regard to Americans residing in the United States and working in Mex ico today with a statement to The Associated Press in which he said recent regulations controlling such border migrations should be con strued loosely. He said the “regulations" which > required those who earned their living by wording in Mexico to re side in Mexico should be considered as a request rather than a demand, and hence any persons not wishing to comply with it would not have to do so. The secretary explained it was Mexico’s desire that persons work ing inside the Mexican border live in Mexico so that they w'ould spend their money or the Mexican side and contribute to the prosperity of Mexican border t ns. He declared, however, it was- not the govern ment's intention to create misun ' ' 1 . ■ ■ ■■ derstanding r ill feeling along the border. He explained that a new card system, the cards to be obtained from chambers of commerce along the border on the American side, might soon be invoked to enable a check on border migration, but it would offer no inconvenience. The cards would cost one peso (about 48 cents) each and would be valid for a year. No passports or other documents a.a required under or dinary circumstances now.

Complaints of traveling me were added today to those of thi other bus line, that the Missouri Pacific Transportation company’s schedule changes have made it practically impossible to come to the Valley by a hurried bus trip from San Anto nio and Houston. “The schedule formerly called for arrival of the San Antonio bus. which made prompt connections, in the Valley at about 6 p. m., the far thest Valley point being reached by 7 p. m., in leaving San Antonio in the morning,” one traveling man explained. “Now the Missouri Pacific has I changed its schedule so that it is necessary to lay over four and a half hours at Corpus Christi, and the bus reaches Edinburg at 10 p. m., so late that anyone wanting to go to the lower part of the Valley cannot reach that section in any convenience by bus.” Hotel Men Complain Hotel men added their complaint to that of the traveling men, those in ihe lower part of the Valley stat ing that the change had hurt busi ness in the Valley to some extent It was also stated that much of the business of the independent bus operators in the section between Corpus Christi and the Valley has been secured through the fact that they operate in such a manner as to cateh the busses leaving Falfur rias an.1 Corpus Christi, and make connections with the busses arriving at those points. Many of the independent opera tors make frequent runs between Corpus Christi or Falfurrias and the Valley, and usually run ahead of the Misouri Pacific busses in order to meet the schedules o fthe other busses.
