that report is fairly summarized in the
reports. IN the relatively I'M
important role assigned tn It to the In
fluence Of the Increased production Of
gold. That fact. which economists
to regard as the predomfnatmg one IN
the problem, is treated as OF minor
consideration. But the report of the
committee will not for this reasen lack
the respect Of practical men. The
theory that the supply of gold is chief
ly responsible for the Mise in prices is
open to a good many practical objec-
tions, doubts and questSons. The varl-
atoms in advances of prices exhibited
by different commodities show that
various causes are in operation. some
of them plainly more powerful in their
influence upon single groups OF COM
medities than in any general cause.
for the latter would tend to produce
in advances.
The committee IL therefore probably
sound in suggesting q variety Of caus-
es as having more practical Importance
than any general cause. The most po-
tent factor, in the committees opinion.
lies in the agricultural conditions In
this country. The prices that have
risen most are the prices OF farm pro-
ducts, and their rise Is the result OF
q variety Of causes. The era Of cheap
farm products has passed away with
the gradual settling Of the country. The
demand for farm products has increas-
ed, The country has larger nom
agricultural population. The cost OF
Agricultural production has advanced.
With regard to the influence Of the
tariff, the committee reports that it has
not been material factor in causing
the rise in prices for the last decade.
Certainly the tariff has not been a
factor in causing the advance In the
cost Of Farm products. which has been
the most striking feature IN the rise
In the cost OF living. Moreover. while
prices have been advancing tariff
rates have been stationary, or, In the
last year. have been slightly reduced
Where they were reduced tho commits

The report win be generally accepted
as sensible in its connlusi0nA Its
scieutiap value and interest are les
sened because OF the unwtlimgness OF
congress to vote funds for an extended

THE COTTON R K

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices TO a decline of 6 points in sym
pathy with lower cables than expected
and in response to the census figures,
which showed a slightly. heavier GIN
ming for the period than the bulls had
been led to expect by recent private
reports.
During the first few minutes the mar
ket was very unsettled, and prices
eased off to a net loss of about 10@12
points under. scattering liquidation and
local selling for a turn, but many oper-
ators thought that the ginning report
was low enough to confirm the govern
ment's estimate of the crop, and there
was good buying on a scale down. as a
result of which prices steadied up dur-
ing the middle of the morning, and
when some of the early sellers started
to cover the market rallied to within a
point OF two of last nights finals.
The market was quiet later in the
forenoon, with prices steady within a
point or two of last nights finals
Business seemed to be mostly in the
way of evening up Over the holidays.
The market continued quiet during
the early afternoon, with prices easing
off to a net loss of about 6 to Z points
under scattered realizing and a little
local selling in the absence of agrees
sive bull support.
