WILL NOT FIX
COTTON PRICES
Committee on Cotton Distribu-
ton Has Been Directed TO
Effect as Quickly as Possible
an Equitable Distribution of
Cotton as to Quantity and
Grade.

The war industries board commit
tee on cotton distribution announced
that it will not recommend that a
price be fixed on raw cotton at the
present time, nor will it so recon-
mend in any event before sufficient
time has elapsed to test the effect
as stabilizing influence of the work
assigned to the committe, unless un-
expected changes of such violence
should occur as to threaten the well
fare of legitimate interests.
The statement, signed by Thomas
Walker Page, chairman of the boards
committee, and Charles j. Brand,
chairman of the committee on cot
ton distribution, wanrs the cotton in
terests against giving credence to un-
authorized reports or rumors pur-
porting to come from the two COM
mittees. They are urged to proceed
in the normal transaction of business
without uncertainty or hesitation.
The committee on cotton distribu-
ton has been organized, it is stated,
and has been directed to effect as
quickly as possible an equitable dis
tribution of cotton as to quantity and
also as to grade among both domes-
tic and foreign manufacturers, with
a special view to providing for the
proper utilization of the surplus of
grades below middlng.
All purchases. both for foreign and
domestic consumption, will continue
to be made at market prices through
the marketing and distributing agen-
cies commonly used, unless thecot-
ton committee shall determine that q
necessity has arisen for making q
change.
