Federal Reserve Banking Act, which
centralizes and economies credit and
has been In successful use for years III
other coutries. Considerable aid is
also to be expected from the new
War Finance Corporation, which is
willing to make advances upon paper
not discountabIe by the Federal Re-
serve banks.
Cotton is attracting increasing at
tention. According to the government
report the outlook is for q 13, 100000
bale crop; though private estimates
are about IA, $780, 900 bales. The carry
over from the last crop is about g.
100000 bales, making a total supply
of nearly IS, 100000 bales. Consump
ton, which has been curtailed by the
war, is figured at about 12,000,0 600
bales, leaving q surplus of almost g.
000,0 bales from the coming crop.
These figures exclude llnters. At
present prices the crop would ap-
proximate about s2,000,000,000 in
value. Owing to the war, financing
the crop will be more difficult than
usual, and various problems of gov
eminent aid are already under con-
sideration. For the time being cotton
is facing more than it's usual share of
tonnage and the limitation Of home
consumption because Of inadequate
labor supply add to the drawbacks
just mentioned. For q long period
the South has opposed the price fixing
for cotton, which was about the only
important industry that had escaped
some form of government regulation
Now that the outlook for cotton is
less assuring, there is more readiness
to submit to some form of price fix
ing, especially if it tended to sup
port the staple. Cotton manufacture
ers are already more or less under
government supervision.
In the stock market there is
steady undertonc and fluctuations in
values continue strictly moderate.
War industrials are the favor
ties for speculative operations. Rail
road shares are steadily maintained
in spite of unsatisfactory net returns.
Public utilities, especially gas stocks,
were favorably affected by the dect-
sion of eX-Justice Hughes to the eff
feet that the fixing of the price for
gas in Brooklyn at soc was confisqa-
tory. His decision gave the impress
sion that hereafter there would be
a better chance of fair play for such
public utilities as have hitherto been
unduly depressed by arbitrary regu-
lations.

CANISTER MAY Be
HELD FOR MURDER
Confesses TO Participation in
Philadelphia Election Row

Confessing to his membership in a
gang, hired for members of the Phtla-
de1phia police department to accom-
p1ish a desired political end, Nicholas
Canonica, 23 years old, is held at the
police station and will be taken back
to Philadelphia to answer charges
which may possibly include murder.
Detective Mccain of the Philadelphia
police department is expected here to-
day to take the prisoner away. Ca
monica, while admitting membership
in the gang, vii not offer any objec-
ton to going back.
Canonico was arrested Thursday by
the local police for failing to file his
questionable. He had been employed
at the Connecticut company barns.
immediately after the arrest the po-
lice reported tho apprehension to the
Philadelphia police department, whose
investigation had progressed to the
stage that the man wanted was In
New Britain. Canonico came to New
Britain seven or eight months ago and
has been living with relatives at 81
Church street.
Canonco, whose home was at East
153rd street, New York, has confessed
that he and nine or ten other young
men were hired to go to Philadelphia
on election day. His understanding
was that the employers were members
of the Philadelphia'police department
who sought the election of certain
candidates. On arrival in Phlladel-
pha the gangsters were taken to a
hotel and shortly afterward went to
some club where they remained until
the following morning. which was
election day. In the particular dis
trict where he was located a fight
started and d policeman was killed.
Canonico left and came to New Bri-

Detective Sergeant Richardson
