Washington, Feb. 2.-Thc senate to- day passed without debate a rcsOlu- ton by Senator Smith of South Caro- lima, directing the attorney general to investigate buying and selling opera tions on thc New York Cotton cy- change, to ascertain if the methods employed are in restraint of trade.
 The resolution rccitcS that com- plaints from farmers. merchants and business men say cotton quotations on the exchange are made lower than the prices in local spot markets, and that these lower prices demoralize the cotton trade.
 Later Senator Smith announced that he would confer with the attorney general regarding the operations on the cot, )n exchange and recent fluc- tuations in prices of cotton. He said he proposes a very thorough invcstl- gation. and that if no remedy for the conditions complained of como through this channel, Ire would insis, upon tn appointment of committed to go to New York and institute Q drastic enquiry.

Ex. langp Welcomes Probe.

New York, Feb. 2.-Henry II. Reyes, president of the New York Cotton eX- change, said today the exchange would welcome any investigation as to It's being in restraint of trade.
 "Prices on the exchange are actually the result of orders received by mem bers to buy and sell,' he said. me management of the exchange has ab- solutely nothing to do with prices. It in no way influences prices, put. on the other hand, it is the public ana no other agency that establishes the value of cotton. The business of the exchange, by it's members, is con ducted under the strong provisions ol the United States cotton futures act which was enacted to correct what was thought by some people to be a condition that was detrimental to cot ton interests"
