COTTON MARKET
} ARE INDICTED

New York, June 1S.-The government
has come out in the open in its attempt
to prove that manipulating the cotton
market is against the law. James A.
Patten. of Chicago, and seven lesser
figures in the speculative field have
been indicted charged with conspiracy
in restraint of trade under the Sher-
man antitrust law
The Indictment was returned by a
special federal grand jury late yes
terday and handed up before judge
Hough in the United States circuit
court
When the indictments were an
nourced, there was an excited break
on the New York cotton exchange.
The bull leaders, however. appeared
undisturbed by the governments &C
tion and by their buying orders help
ed to rally prices during the last few
minutes
Five counts are embraced in the in
GIctment, but the real charge is the one
CT Grging that the defendants unlaw-
fully did conspire with certain
corporations not herein indicted, to de-
mand arbitrary, excessive and monopO-
E>tic prices for cotton"
