HUNDREDS OF JEWS
LEFT HOMELESS
Three Churches and so Houses
Burned in Lemberg Pogroms--
Trouble Spreads Rapidly

Vienna, Nov. 81. tBy the Associated
Press -Hundreds are homeless at
Lemberg u the result of pogroms
against the Jews in that city It is
reported that many people have been
killed and wounded. three churches
and so houses burned and wholesale
footing has taken place. The trouble
is said to be extending west to Jaro-
slav and south to Drohobycz, as we'll
as to many towns in western and
eastern Galicia.
Jewish reports say the disorders
We're not attributable to Bolshevism
but were the outcome of an effort to
prevent the Jews from carrying out
the principle of self determination,
according to President Wilson's pro-
gram. DISTINGUISHED observers de-
clare the fighting is the outgrowth of
the fact that the Ukrainians in Po-
land wish to be free and under
Ukrainians are in the majority, The
q preponderance of Polish inhabi-
tants, while around the city the
Ukrainian sare i'll the majority The
people of Lemberg, with the eXcep-
ton OF the Jews, want to unite with
the Poles. The Poles therefore, ac-
cording TO these observers, are pur-
suing a policy of violence against the
Jews.

Fayors Price.Fixing

The cotton market had a firm opening
Of to AZ points advance on fairly
active buying, based on the firm cables
and increased confidence that there
would be no Government regulation.
There was a sharp break from the
opening advance. While the big ginning
figures were taken as a reflection OF a
short crop. they also pointed 10 IA pid
early season accumulation Of available
supplies.
There was probably selling on this,
while sentiment was also unsettled by
reports from Washington that sentiment
in favor of price-hxing was growing
stronger and seemed to be looked upon
more fayorably in some secttons of the
South, as well as among manufacturers.
October broke 80 points from the carry
high level and January about rs points
with the general list selling 43 to As
points net lower. but trading became
quiet at this level and there were mod
crate rallies.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 1900 bales, compared
