creement on the cotton futures section

cry Is made will be agreed to is the gen

compel the democrats of both bodies final
ly to reach an agreement Neither body
IL over-anXious for this legislation now
that IL IS before them. but having put
their hands to il. they are unable To
draw them away because of the force of

The compromise would compel all con
tracts for future cotton delivery to specify

livery OF the cotton to be IT that grade
