Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

From the highest to the lowest to-
days prices in our market varied 10
TO % points. There were frequent quick
swings up and down of 10 OR more
points The tone of the market was
nervous. Selling orders were encoun-
tered on advances, buyers were in evil
dence on declines
From our viewpoint the market is
shaping up for big move. We be-
lieve it will be upward. Exports so
far this season are double those of last
year. American mills are very largely
uncovered with the actual while they
hold ahead for months on the basis of 25-
cent cotton.
Liverpool is a more liberal buyer OF
spots lately. The sole basis for the
recent heavy selling is the belief that
the ginning figures up to September
l indicate big crop. We think this
is a fallacy, but meantime outside
spectators are afraid of the issue and
prefer to await further developments
before taking hold of the market on
the long side.
In our opinion and within a short
time. real bull market may be in full
swing at perhaps 100 points or more
higher. The short side of cotton has
dangerous possibilities: we think it
should be avoided. 1t looks to us as
though big interests were accumulat-
Ing COTTON ana DIT the proper Time
would make the fact known most con-
vincingly
The oil market today was tame, but
bearish views predominated. 1t is no.
ticeable that the talk of lower prices
was not accompanied by selling or
ders We believe March oil is very
cheap. We think it is likely to have
a sharp advance when least expected.
Avery's Letter
The strength in the American spot mar
kets, big exports and buying by New
England spinners stimulated Liverpool
into activity this morning with the conse.
quence American markets opened at an
advance of from 10 to II points over the
previous close.
Bear drives were made several times,
but with the marking up of spot quota
tons showing substantial advances at
various points recoveries were easily
brought about.
The market is in a very healthy state
technically speaking. those who bought

NEW OTk, september E.-IHe iOCd
market for raw sugar was strong, will
refined led to quite active buying of raw
sugar by refiners and the days business
included about $4,000 bags Of Cubas fol
second half of September at 4Ac, cost
and freight; $1,000 bags of Cubas from
store and prompt shipments at 4Ac, cos
and freight, and 10000 bags from store

with a further buying inquiry at thai
level
There was an increased demand fol
refined sugar, not only for local account
but from exports as well. The latter were
credited with buying about 1900 tons fol
South American countries, and there were
further inquiries in the market at the
close. Prices, however, remained un-
changed at 6.25c for fine granulated, al.
though the undertone was firmer in sym.
pathy with raws.
The firmness in raws and the increased
activity In refined led to quite an ac-
tive buying movement in the futures mar
ket and closing prices showed net gains
of to II points, or within few points
of the best of the day. Commission houses

American Officials Want to Enter
Deeply Into Investigation of
Mexican Affairs.
Now CONSIDERING COMMISSION
Chief Justice White, Cocktails, Leh-
man and BrandeiS Are Among
Men Being Mentioned.

Washington, July Washington
officials today looked for an early
agreement by General Carranza to sug-
gestions for the extension of the pow
ers of an international joint commits
sion to settle border difficulties, which
accompanied the American acceptance
to Mexicos proposal for that form OF
settlement The state department
notified CarranZa's ambassador here
last night that the commission plan
was satisfactory.
American officials do not want to
stop at discussion Of problems deal
ing solely with bandit raids and the
presence in Mexico of United States
troops. They want to take up the
whole Mexican tangle, hoping the con-
ferences may bring suggestions for
the reconstruction Of Mexico on firm
economical and financial basis.
1t will be two weeks at least, Off
Gals believe, before the commission
can meet. The state department will
insist that conferences be held within
the United States. Appointment of
American members will await Car
ranza's reply. President Wilson is
unGerstOOd to have under considera-
ton already a score Of men as COM
missiOners These include Chief JUS
tice White, Major General Cocktails,
Frederick Lehman and Justice Louis

Luis Cabrera, Mexican minister of
finance, it is understood, will head the

FOR EXCLUSION

Washington, July 29.--American Am
bassador Page at London today cabled
the state department that Great Brit
ain insists upon excluding from Eng
land and Ireland Thomas Hughes
Kelly of New York, treasurer OF the
Irish Relief fund; his assistant, Joseph
Smith, and Mrs. Kelly. They will
leave England Monday on the Ameri-
can liner Philadelphia
Ambassador Page has been inform
ed by the foreign Office that the deci-
sion to exclude the three Americans
was irrevocable. No reasons for ex-
clusion of the Irish relief workers was
given by Ambassador Page who said
that during their detention at Liver
pool the British authorities had per-
mitted them to remain at a hotel
without being actually imprisoned
State department officials today still
hoped the exclusion order might be
modified, however.

United States Court Says
German Commander Can
Not Keep Boat.
LINE OF PRECEDENTS
Rights Lost When Ship Was
Brought to "Lay Up"
Here Indefinitely.

Washington, July 29-The federal
courts decision holding for the British
owners in the Appam case cOnfrOntS
the United States government with de-
Gliding what to do with Lieutenant Berg
and his prize crew, which brought in
the ship after one of the most thrilling
chapters in the sea history of the war.
Generally speaking, Lieutenant Berg
and his men are regarded as part of
Germany's naval forces, and if that
view were carried out to its conclusion
they would have to be interned for the
war for the crew of the other two Ger
man raiders, Prinz Itel Friedrich and
Kron Prinz Wilhelm, at the Norfolk
navy yard.
State department officials expect the
courts decision will be carried through
to the supreme court on appeal and
disposition of the German crew must
be decided while proceedings are pend
ing If appeal is taken the ship would
remain in custody of the federal court
Courts Holding.
Norfolk, Va, July 29-Federal Judge
WaddilI today decided the libel pro-
ceedings for possession of the captured
British liner Apam in favor of the Eng
lish owners and against the German
prize crew which brought her here.
/
eminent lost all legal claim to the
Appam and her cargo as prizes of war
when Lieutenant Berg and his prize
crew on last February first brought
them into the neutral waters of Hamp-
ton Roads, with the intention of lay
ing up" the vessel indefinitely
The court held further that the
Prussian-American treaty of 1893, re-
newed in 1928, does not apply or con-
troll in the case so as TO guarantee the
prize crew asylum in United States
waters.
That the action of the German prize
court in declaring the Appam a prize
while the case was in litigation in the
United States courts has no effect on
the Jurisdiction of the courts
That the jurisdiction of the United
States courts in the case is established
by long line of precedents including
several by the supreme court.

Springfield, I'll, July 29-Negro
citizens of Springfield planned today
to file injunction proceedings against

A swimming pool in one Of the local

The plans for injunction proceed

at which the radical negroes overrode

use the pools or will close them en-

ed, have counseIed against it

THE WAR TO-DAY

The Russian drive into GaIicia
Is going forward with tremendous
strides. Russian forces have cap
tured BrOdy, an important railway
junction in Galicia and have brOk-
en- the AustrO-German first lines
west of Lutsk in FOIhynia, taking
5000 prisoners and 46 guns. The
capture of Brody, some 80 miles
northeast of Lemberg. opens a d.
rect road to the Galician capital.
The occupation of the town also
NAV have the effect of causing the
entire Austrian line southwark to-
ward TarnOpOl and Buczacz to fall
back.
The success in VoIhynia, while
also a menace to Lemburg, threat
ems the stronghold of Vladimir and
makes more insecure the AustrO-
German hold on KOyel.
British forces north OF the
SOmme have occupied the whole OF
LOngueVal, and their march TO-
ward Bapaume has been aided by
the reOccupatiOn of DelYille wood.
Fighting continues in the vicinity
of PoZieres.
In the Vosges the Germans have
attempted to break the French line,
