Washington Sees No
Need for New EXCHANGE

WASHINGTON Feb. 19.-Department
of Agriculture authorities expressed
doubt tonight at what was termed
"the economical justification for an
additional exchange in New York
City" when told of the proposed open
ing of the American Cotton and Grain
Exchange there.
at seems TO me this war period
scarcely is a time for the establish
ment of additional exchanges in farm
products c. J. Brand, Director Of
Markets, said. "The New York Cotton
Exchange is now operated under Fed
eral control, and il has succeeded in
doing away with undue speculation in
futures, and as far as an exchange for
grain is concerned, New York City is
hardly the field for such an estab-
lishment.
"The promoters OF the new exchange
were in Washington in August or Sep
tember last, comforting with the de
partment on the matter, but no de-
cision was reached. and. as recall
it, department officials expressed doubt
then as to the advisabiity of open
ing a new exchange The promoters
then only contemplated cotton futures
| can see no economical justification
for the opening of another exchange

Mr.. Daily, before the law put its ban
On cocktighting, was we'll known in the
sporting world for the birds he bred
He began his long and picturesque
career when he enlisted in the Seventh

ico.
He fought at Buena Vista and Palo
Alto under General Winfield Scott and

Mr. DAILY was a member of the old
Metropolitan police force in the days
when Boss Tweed ruled and plundered
the city. He also served at one time
as an attache in the controllers office.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-20
In d strials
Cotton

Urgent buying to cover short con-
tracts, supplemented by demand
from trade interests, caused a sharp
advance in the cotton market yester-
day. May contracts rose to 30.43c, or
$3.50 bale above the closing price Of
Monday. and practically cent pound
above the low level of last week The
close showed gains throughout the list
Of 81 to 81 points, final trades in May
being at 3O36c
A good deal of the buying by trade
interests came from houses with
Southern mill connections, and aug-
gested that manufacturers were buying
hedges against the raw material re-
quired to fill recent government
orders for goods. There was also mill
buying to fix prices on call cotton The
presence of this demand, combined
with the continued absence Of spot
pressure and the failure Of Texas rain
advices to bring in fresh speculative
selling, appeared to alarm old shorts.
Stop-orders were uncovered on the ad-
vance, and while selling for profits was
more active during the last few min
utes, trade demand continued in evil
dence right up to the close
No change was reported in the ex-
port situation. Exports for the day
were 9,429 bales, making 2625,332 SO
far this season, against 3,974,155 last
year. Southern spot markets as off,
cially reported were unchanged to 70
points higher.
