Part Of the New York Stock
Said to Have Been Sold

There was quite an outburst Of excited
trading IN the cotton market during the
forenoon yesterday. Prices ran up sharp

Of Monday. Tho weather WAS unfavor-
able in Mississippi. Arkansas and eastern
Texas. where continued rains are inter-
,.ring with farming operations. Liver
TOOL WAS higher than due and spot sales
reached a total OF 10000 bales. Cables
said that British epinners had voted
.salnet going on short time during the
Easter holidays. a decision which Is
hardly In line with the recent pessimis-
tic reports regarding the state Of trade
In Lancashire.
The acute situation in the near months
was again emphasized yesterday by the
manner in which March. May and July
shot UP under the impetus OF excited
Bidding. It was the last trading day for
o'clock at q premium Of so points over
May. The May option At one time sold
at Q premium of 40 points over July. but
at the close this was reduced to 81
points There is evidence Of . big short
interest in the near months and the stu
alton has not been helped materially by
the freedom with which July has been
sold recently.

authorities express the opinion that even
the growths OF other countries have been
hedged by sales in New York. SO risky
has the sale Of near months been consid.

technical situation has been created In

THE United States Steel corpor-
alton has issued a pamphlet con-
tanning in full the stenographlc
report of the proceedings of the
annual meeting of stockholders
held on April 20. We recommend
a reading of this report to anyone
who can read the English language.
And we wish that it might be trans
lated into foreign languages and
receive a worldwide circulation.
The pamphlet is revelation-to
anyone not at all we'll acquainted
with the relations between the big
corporation and its employees of
what the largest steel organization
in the world and its workers have
achieved in the establishment of a
system of cooperation which un-
doubtedly represents the highest
and most successful type of such a
system yet developed.
The subsidiary companies of the
Steel Corporation at the present
time have more than $4,000 en-
ployes who are stockholders of the
parent company. Representatives
of these employee stockholders,
chosen by the latter from their own
number, attended the annual meet
ing and voluntarily told of the re-
lations of the men and the COM
pany. One of these asked the
privilege of offering short player,
in which he gave thanks for what
the Steel Corporation was doing
for the welfare of humanity. There
was no irreverance in this. 1t was
the sincere and spontaneous ex-
preston of man who had been
working for the company for seven
teen years. Financial America.

HENRY FORD let out 6 ZOO men
at once from his automobile factor
les one day last week. Ford was
paying a minimum wage scale of
IS per day as an experiment in his
profit sharing plan. These good
old Democratic times have fixed it
so that even automobile factories
have felt the slump the same as
have all other factories. If Ford S
business had kept up he could have
paid nice fat dividend in addition
to the high wages as it is said that
it costs only $4,000 to manufac-
ture Ford machine.

Resolutions.

Adopted by Henryville Waddell and
Cedar Bluff farmers in regard to the
present prices of cotton seed:
Whereas the oil mpanies have re-
duced the price 'of cotton seed $1,000
per tun, and whereas, they should bring
as much or more than they did last sea-
son, for the reason that oil products
are worth.more today than they were
then,
Therefore, be it resolved: That we
will not sacrifice our seed unless forced
to do 30.
That cotton seed Is worth more to the
farmers as a fertilizer than to dispose
Of them at such prices.
That we will ask our brother farmers
throughout the state to hold their seed
from the market at present.
That we will find a market OUTSIDE
he state, if possible, unless our oil
mills will make US a price compared
With price Of cotton seed products.
That we ask the following newspapers
., publish these resolutions, viz: Clay
