From London comes the message
that four British destroyers engaged

other vessels have attacked the enemy

According to unconfrmed reports

CONGRESSMEN PLEASED
WITH SMITH LEVER BILL

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 16.-
Much pleasure was expressed today by
southern congressman over the re-
ports Of the amount Of trading under
the Smith Lever bill system which
was being done on the New York cot
ton exchange. More Of the trading IL
being done under this system, accord
ing to the records, than under the old
plan. despite the fact both are option
al and will be until after February
II.
The prime object Of the Lever bill
was to break up the system in vogue
on the New York and other exchanges
Of buying cotton futures" Of ono
grade. and then settling in another
with difference in price which al
ways seemed to work against he cot
ton seller in the south, and for the
cotton buyer on the exchange. Un-
der the terms Of the bill tax Of two
cents pound, or $40 a bale, is plac-
ed upon all sales Of cotton futures,
that Is cotton 10 be delivered at a
certain specified date in the future,
unless the requirements Of the bill as
to grading and other particulars are
complied with.
One Of tho most important Of these
requirements is that the cotton must
be sold only in certain grades, which
are established by the department Of
agriculture, and samples Of which will
be exhibited in every primary cotton
market in the south. In this wny tho
cotton raiser and dealer in the south
will know just what grade the cotton
he is producing or selling will make,
and just what the price Of that grade
is. There will be no opportunity for
any sharp practice whereby the cot
ton producer may be defrauded by
clever switching Of grades.
