Spot Houses Favor
Clarke'S Amendment

NEW YORK, July 11.-Advices from
kilograms and letters which are cur
rent. state that many. # not a ma
jority. Of the large spot cotton firms
and many mills favor the passage Of
the Clarke amendment, believing it will
enable them to buy their spot cotton
from the planter cheaper than at
present
1t said that the open competition and
broadcast distribution of market in
formation and quotations kept the pro-
Queer OF cotton well posted under rul-
ing prices from hour to hour and day
10 day. This would not be the case
with the adoption of the Clarke amend
ment, as il would leave the cotton mar
Nets IN the hands Of simply the few
spot dealers.
With the adoption Of the Clarke
amendment there would he a fixed tax
OF 90 cents a bale for hedging contracts.
w men the local cotton buyer in interior
towns buys his cotton from the farmer
MS bid price would be low enough to
enable him to hedge his contract and
pay the so cents a bale tax, and the
farmer, therefore, would indirectly have
TO pay this tax. If the head and Off
Gals of the Farmers Union could real
lie what this amendment means. and
would look at 1t from purely a business
standpoint, they would OPPOSE the
Clarke amendment and try to Introduce
some bill that would perpetuate the ex-
change and encourage competition that
makes broad market for cotton This
tax reduces the value of cotton as a
collateral with the bank as protection
in all lines Of business has become a
necessity.

Look for a professional traders market

Estimates Of the quantity Of Canadian
Pacific stock liquidated by European
sellers Wednesday ran as high as TO-
900 shares. Canadian Pacific is about
the highest priced stock listed on the
market and securities of such prices are
usually the first ones sold if money is
badly needed
The weakness in Canadian Pacific
stock during the past few days was said
to be the result Of the rImor that 500

Although the dullness In the market
continues, there are few stocks for

The market was inclined to open
lower on good reports concerning the
crop and the favorable weather pros
poets, but controlling influences in New
York at once advanced August prices
and by this show of power checked all
selling, with the consequence that the
market remained idle around last
nights closing figures.
The Turner Crop Bureau, Of Mem
phis makes the condition S2.5 on July

ducing area Of Texas is practically free

close to-day. These losses were Ia

NEW YORK, July 11.-At the open
