POSSES HUNT BANDITS
Dynamited Express Safe But Cash
Already Removed.

Jackson, Tenn, Sept. 21.-Armed
posses were aiding police and sheriffs'
deputies today in searching for three
bandits who late last night held up a
northbound Mobile & Ohio passenger
train 80 miles south of this city and
dynamited the express car safe. Local
railroad officials say the bandits got
little of value. A package containing
$4,000, reported among the original
express shipments aboard the train,
had been deposited at Corinth, Miss.

High Density Bales
To Be Standard for
r. R. Cotton Rates
Manufacturers and Rail-
way Men Confer on Saw
ing in Transportation
and Storage

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--Plans for
making high density cotton the future
standard for transportation rates for
the staple were set on foot here to-day
BY a conference Of two committees rep
resenting the National Council Of Co.
ton Manufacturers and the railroads.
Immediate steps TO facilitate the
movement Of the new crop were urgeI
on mill executives, the government and
the railroads, and the committees
agreed TO meet again here on December
II 20 discuss readjustments of rate
with view 20 aceeleratins the cotton
movement and at the same time con
serving railway equipment.
Representatives of the council told
the conference that TO obtain desired
economies IN transportation and stor-
age the cost OF high density compress
sion be assessed against cotton con-
sumers until such time as the rail car
riers can make effective a preferential
rate on high density cotton. The pref
erential will take the form of pre-
MUM for compression or an increase
IN the present rate on low density
bales, thus making highly compressed
cotton the standard.
Thirty per cent Of the cotton mills
OF the country are engaged IN govern
ment work. according 70 estimates OF
the council.

and the only change emphasized was
that a foreign corporation cannot ac-

property OF any kind.
Il also specified that the nation re-

Industrial
Cotton.

Cotton.-Early irregularity was fol-
lowed by another sharp advance in the
cotton market yesterday, with all active
months making new high records for
the season. December sold through the
29-cent level, while January advanced
from 2s27 to $50 and closed at
28.52, with the general list closing
steady at net advance Of 70 to y
points.
The market opened steady at an adj
varce Of 20 II points, but eacoun-
tered realizing and scatterd selling
Prices eased of in consequence, active
months soon showing net losses Of
about 20 points. Il seemed, how
ever. that the contracts were being alb
sorbed BY Liverpool and domestic
trade interests on the decline, while
adyices from the South indicated that
the spot basis was sitter, and the
market turned frmer during the mid
die of the morning. Covering became
more active following the publication
of a bullish crop estimate, and stop
less orders were uncovered as the mar
ket made new high ground. After
showing net advances Of 80 20 40
points. the market met renewed realIz-
ing with the close showing reactions
Of about 10 % 10 points.
Il was suggested that the advance
might possibly have been influenced. by
increasing confidence in the smaller
estimates of the crop. A prominent
local firm issued report estimating
the Weld AZ only l0.500.0OO bales with
out linters, or 100000 with hnters.
This is considerably under the figures
recently discussed in local circles.
Advices from the cotton goods mar
ket indicated that mills were reeeiv-
inc orders for forward delivery. The
impression prevails that the trade buy
ING was to secure cover against raw
material requirements. This, combined
with the reported steadiness or South

Federal Sugar Refining Co.
Says Food Board Played
Into Hands of the Trust

The Federal Sugar Refining Com
pany, in statement issued last night,
charged, in effect. that the food ad-
ministration had played into the hands
OF its greater rival. the American
Sugar Refining Company, and by so
doing had enabled the American TO
corral the lions share Of Louisiana
sugar.
The charges were embraced in a
typewriter statement from Frank c.
Lowry, sales manager OF the Federal
After calling the American Sugar Re-
finlng Company a trust and recalling
that there is now pending against that
company a sherman law suit, the state
ment said:
"Mr. Babst, president Of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company. the
United States Food Administration and
representatives Of the Louisiana sugar
industry held conferences in Wash
ington on October % and %. 10 settle
upon the price at which the Louisiana
sugar was to be sold. No other refiner
was invited 20 attend these meetings
or knew that they were being held.
"As soon as negotiations were COM
pleted, Mr.. Babst, taking advantage Of
the extraordinary position in which ne
was placed. Immediately undertook 10
negotiate with the Louisiana planters
FOR practically their entire crop. So
far Sc we can ascertain, and certainly
so far as the Federal Sugar Refining
Company is concerned. the first inti-
nation that these negotiations were
under way came from press dispatches
that the deal had been concluded.
AS other refners had been instruct
ed 20 stay out OF the market, and the
responsibility for buying supplies was
left with the international committee,
of which Mr.. Babst and Mr.. Rolph
were members. Il was natural for re-
fners TO assume that this sugar had
not been purchased for the American
Sugar Refining Company alone.

Mr.. Rolph. chief OF the sugar division
Of the food administration. upon being
asked whether the sugar purchased
would be allotted TO the different re-

that the sugar had been bought solely

Mr.. Lowry went on 20 say that by
the arrangement the American Sugar

Of sugar out Of an estimated total Of
