The response to it was sharp advance under general buying. which met very little opposition. The July delivery was traded at 13 cents or the highest price since 1934, while other months moved impressively above the 12 cent level. In the primary textile market here we understood that on the advance most sellers withdrew all offerings, pending decision on the higher list prices. The indicated acreage 30.621.00 after allowing for 214 per cent abandonment, on the basis of 10 year average yield per acre, points to an outturn of 11,175,000 bales.

Should the 189.1 yield be up the last three year average, under pounds which hardly seems possible present conditions, there would be crop of around 11,799.000 bales. On the other hand the poorest yield in the past 10 years. 161.5 pounds, would give us a crop of only 10,076,000 bales. Overnight, while not officially confirmed, it was gencles. erally accepted to be fact in trade eirthat producers pool completed liquidation of all its October futures Tuesday.

The Liverpool market which remained open for the report met our advance fully. There was no evidence of important hedge pressure on the bulge, but at this level it should be possible to repossess loan cotton. Still feel friendly to the constructive side, but would buy only on setbacks. Austin Produce Prices Poultry Turkey hens, No. 1, lb.

The recovery was slow, however, and many issues were unable to get very on the upside. Drouth news was still far from pleasing, marketwise, and the steel labor outlook was as cloudy as ever. At the same time there were many good business and industrial items to help bolster a recovery movement in equities. Carrier shares responded to hopeful earnings estimates and forecasts that last year's freight loadings would be well ahead of the 1935 week, although under the previous period because of the Independence holiday. Western rails came back despite crop shortage prospects, on the belief that federal aid for Northwestern farmers would offset to a considerable extent the losses of grain shipments.

Some of the implement issues also responded to the same influence. The buying appetite for the utilities was again attributed to bright profits hopes for the major corporations based on expanding power usage. The Associated Press electric power index for the week of July registered another record peak. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks stepped up .4 of a point to 63.3 against A decline of .6 Tuesday.

Thousands See Deep Eddy Open Many Take Advantage Of Free Swimming Thousands of persons from every part of the city attended the opening of Deep Eddy Bathing beach which was dedicated in a brief speech by Mayor Tom Miller who asserted that "it is fitting in this Centennial year that the city should contribute to the further welfare and happiness of its citizens." Mayor Miller said the bathing pool, the new bathhouse and other improvements represent an investment of approximately $35,000. The Deep Eddy Bathing beach was opened slightly more than a year after the city purchased the pool and grounds from A.

J. Ellers for $10,000. A week after the purchase, the flood of June 15 washed away some of the old wooden structures and covered the pool with trees, rubbish and wreckage. Water Treated Persons who witnessed the opening saw a pool filled with clear sparkling water with the chlorination content held constant at two parts per million by means of an automatic chlorination system making the water safe for every person to swim in. The pool is 100 feet wide and .00 feet long.

The city has installed new scum gutters and cleaned ou the concrete bottom. Hundreds of persons took advantage of the free swimming for opening. While they were disporting themselves in the water, other thousands milled about the bathhouse and inspected it throughout, or sat in the new rock of theoncrete stands built in front Hold Band Concert The municipal men's band directed by Pharr played an hour's concert, and a swimming meet was held in the pool to add interest to the opening. Mayor Miller was introduced for his talk by City Mgr. Guiton Morgan, who told the crowd that new bathing beach was a joint WPA-city project.

James A. Garrison, city recreation superintendent, served as master of ceremonies and announced the various events. Mgr. Morgan announced further improvements are contemplated at the pool, including the installation of plavground equipment west of the pool and construction of barbecue pits and other improvements for picnic grounds east of the pool to join with the American Legion's picnic grounds. Ex- Owner Made Happy Among those present at the opening was Mr.

Eilers who first opened Deep Eddy in 1915 as the first open air swimming pool in Texas. Mr. Eilers as made happy when Mayor Miller told him he would be given a lifetime pass to the pool in recognition of his efforts to maintain Deep Eddy through the years before the city acquired it. Mr. Eilers will also be given ticket No.

1 for the opening day Thursday. Another interested person, present was George Rowley, former manager of Deep Eddy up to 10 years ago, who marveled at the new improvements by the city. Present also madero City Commrs. Simon Gillis and Charles F. Alford.

Charles H. Page, member of the park board, who was the first on that board to advocate acquisition of Deep Eddy, also was present for the opening. Mayor Miller announced the pool will be open each day from 6 a. m. to 10 p.

m. In addition to the $10,000 purchase price, the city spent 254.69 for construction work and the WPA spent $16,865.64 in construction. Central Texas Pastors Busy Holding Revivals Special to The Austin American SAN SABA, July Rev. V. L.
