this country where experiments in
spong cultivation have been made. The
various methods are as follows: Seed

cement blocks, are dropped or lowered

the ocean bottom, where they remain
Tor year or two, until they reach a
size proper for commercial purposes.
They are then taken by the hook when
new cuttings are attached and the
cement blocks let down again. Another
method was to string them on a wire
held horizontal by stakes driven in the
bottom. In doing this. however,
various difficulties arose. The sponges

Cotton

A growing belief that the fixing Of
general price on cotton would prove
unnecessary and that the operations of
the War Industries Board committees
would not materially disturb existing
channels of distribution seemed largely
responsible for the better tone Of the
cotton market yesterday. Both Chair
man Page of the cotton inquiry COM
mittee and Chairman Baruch of the
War Industries Board were quoted as
of opinion that the operation of the
committee on distribution would rem
der price-tixing unnecessary, and
Chairman Brand-of the committee on
distribution authorized the following
statement:
"The committee plans to exercise its
supervision through existing customary
channels by controlling the quantity
and quality of cotton used by domestic
and foreign consumers. This they be-
lieve can be done without disturbing to
an appreciable extent the existing
facilities and organizations for mar
keting and distributing the crop. The
committee will require both domestic
and foreign consumers to take a fair
and equitable proportion of the grades
below middling."

Although gross revenues Of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company in
creased in the year ended June 80 last
as result Of larger volume of traffic
carried over it's several lines, net earn
ings were sharply reduced, owing to the
higher costs of operation. The annual
report issued yesterday to the stock
holders by Theodore p. Shonts, presi-
dent, shows gross operating revenues of
4O,497 1928, the largest in the history of
the company, an increase Of S631 ,581
over the preceding year. Operating ex-
penditures aggregated $19.113,336, an
increase Of $2,530,043, leaving net op-
Grating revenue Of S21 ,384,391, a fall

previous twelve months. Net corporate
income, after taxes and other charges,

manned surplus from the years op-
erations of 81 ,046,267 a decrease of
$l,056,387 compared with the surplus OF

President Shonts calls attention in
the report to the f.,ct that the company
carried 710,998,335 passengers over its
lines last year, against 763, ,574, ,O85 the
year before. The company paid $3,-
758,583 in taxes, an increase of 30.S
per cent.
The increase in operating expenses Of
1870 per cent during the year was due
to rising. costs of running trains and
maintaining the properties on all the
various lines. 1t cost $1,O41 ,579 more
to operate the subway division last
year, while on the Manhattan division
there was all increase of S1,488, 1853.

day, brought some surprises as to de-
tails, but not as to two features-an
advance to the merchant furnaces max

refusal to make any advance on finished
steel products.
Lake Superior iron ore producers
asked Tor so cents more and were
granted 20 cents on the ground that
the 40 cents advance given them three
months ago was all absorbed in higher
rail freights. Eastern iron ore bro
ducers had expectations of sharing in
the ore advance, but this was denied
them and all other ore producers out

by adopting Birmingham and Pitts
Durgh as pig iron basing points, ad-
vancing basic and foundry irons 81 a

been on the smaller blast furnaces in

furnaces get the benefit of the ST adj
vance. For Tennessee furnaces the
advance ranges from S125 to s1.75.
Virginia furnaces and those in Eastern
