tion in short selling OF cotton in the
New Orleans and New York Exchanges

tribution committee OF the war indus

Charles J. Brand, chairman OF the
committee, announced the action today,
saying il had been taken because OF
undue short selling yesterday which
caused ,hd ket to fall two cents.
Mr.. Brafokadded that short selling
at this time is OF doubtful wisdom, as
the country is in the midst OF market
ing cotton and conditions do not war
rant short selling as cotton goods stocks
throughout the world are depleted and
the demand for the product is bound to
be great.
Speculative interests, Mr.. Brand said.
are taking advantage Of the situation
due to the sudden collapse Of the war.

graphed officials OF thec cotton ex-

speculative short selling OF cotton on

prevent undue speculation.
The traders we're requested TO Tor

particularly those in liquidation OF pre-
