COTTON OPTIONS SLUMP
BOTH OLD AND NEW MONTHS
SHOW DECLINES.
Bears Are More Aggressive Than the
Bulls During the Week and
Are Aided by Favorable
Weather in Cotton Belt.
I NEW ORLEANS, May 28.—The cotton market
Sthis wck showed a net loss of 31 to :54 points
■ or. the old crop «ud a uet loss of 17 to 19 points
I or. the now inontbs.
Bears were more uggrosHive than the bulla.
| and wltli th*» aid of favorable weather In the
cotton country they were able to wway the
market their way after rather a strong open
Ing based on too much rain.
The high prices of the week were made
Monday, when tin- more active months were
0 to 15 points higher than Inst week s close.
At that time it seemed ns If the advantage
was to some extent with the bulls and reports
from the cotton belt were bad enough to cause
serious apprehension of foul crops. Tuesday the
weather took a turn for the better aiul over a
larger part of the cotton belt was favorable the
week through.
The lowest prices were made !• riday. when
| the old crops were 49 to 50 point* under last
week's closing and the new crops were 23 to
28 points under. on Saturday there was u
smnll recovery on the forecast of rain in the
Bcuthwest and crop reports indicating not nl
together satisfactory progress in the earliest
section of the cotton country.
The bears were helped in their campaign by
considerable liquidation from the loug aide, es-
pecially in July and August. This fuelling was
induced by the idea that the bull interests in
cotton had abandoned July. The weakness in
the wheat market was pointed to as confirm
lng this. Not a few bulls, however, preferred
to believe that the heavy selling i>f wheat con
tracts was done s" that the Western interests
might all the better protect themselves in the
cctton market. The week closed with as much
uncertainty as ever expressed over the summer
months condition.
Business was curtailed to some extent by the
nearness of the bureau reports on acreage and
conditions. These rejmrts will be dated May
25, and will be issued June 2. Not a few
traders were disposed to shorten their lines on
week end because of these r -ports. At no time
did belief in the bullishness or bearlshness of
these reports crystallize sufficiently to sway
prices much either way. The general expecta-
tion was for a moderate Increase in acreage and
a condition report that would be lower than
last year's figures of 81.10 per cent.
Late in the week it was announced that the
pending lockout in the Lancashire district bad
been diverted by the postponement of the dis-
putes between 'Manchester spinners and opera-
tives for three months, but the bulls made no
attempt to take advantage of this us a market
factor.
The visible supply of American cotton fell
below the two million mark, being put by
Hester at 1,96.1,000 bales, but the bullishness
of these figures was lost sight of in rather
small spinners' takings.
In the spot market prices lost 1-lOc, mid
dling closing at 14 15 10c, against 15e last Week
and 11c this week last year. Sales on the
spot amounted to 1865 bales, against 2725 last
week and 3150 this week last year: sales to ar
rive totalled 1050 bales, against 1473 last week
and 2075 this week last year.

NEW ORLEANS, May 2H. -Cotton: Futures
opened steady at a decrtoe of 5 to 8 p dnts
on the old crop months and 2 to 4 po'nis (U
the new. Cables were <v-ich Iow.'t 1 hau die
and weather indications were of pr.i t.« "'r no
rein anv\nhere in the cotton belt ?ver night.
In the first half hour of trading no great
volume of business was done and (">ri?•-« did net
move much. August was stronger than July
trading, at a net decline of 2 points, against
a r.ct decline in July of 8 points. October
started in at a decline of 4 points, hut at ihe
end of the first half hour of business was
unchanged compared with yesterday's last quo-
tation.
The market gained struugth In the last half
hour of the session on leportw from Southwest
Texas that the crop was in decidedly bad shape
a. the result of cold weather and too inucb
rain. Intensifying the effect of these reports
was the weather forecast of rain In Southwest
Texas over Sunday.
August advanced until It was 6 points over
yesterday's closing and the new crop months
rose to a level of 4 points over yesterday's last
quotations.
July showed little strength and at the high-
est was only one point up aet.
On the closing the tone was steady and July
stood at a net decline of 1 point, while the
other active months stood at a net advance of

PENSION MATTER IS PENDING
Some Teachers Youn« in Local Service
Oppose Idea.
The movement annniK tlio San Antonio
teachers for pensioning tenchcra grown
old in service is being carried on by tho
committee In charge. This committee met
Saturday morning nt the Brnekenrld^e
Grammar School. 1 Hiring the meeting
the members of tho committee went over
tho jilt.iih of similar pension* in different
portions of tho country nnd determined
to look Into the legal phase of the Idea ,
In Texas.
In their discussions It was brought out
very clearly that many of the teacher* 1
In the city schools have grown old in
service and that they have not been able ]
to save because of the small salaries
paid them.
It Is understood that thero Is an under-
current of sentiment anion* tho younger :
teachers in the schools, or, rather, the
teachers young In service In the San An-
tonio schools, but old in experience as |
teachers, against the movement. A peti-
tion asking for such a pension was pasK.'d I
among tho teachers of tho various school*
several week* ago and many would not i
sign it. These say It Is not ,1ust that Ihoy
should pay dues toward a fund that w 11
do them no 1. but which will benefit j
persons no longer In tho service as teach- j
ers.
