NEW HICH PRICES
 ESTABLISHED IN
 COTTON MARKETS
Continued Strength of Liverpool Sends October to 35.20
 Cents.

New York. July 1.-The cotton market has shown renewed firmness during the past week. The reactions which followed the recent government crop report and preceded the holidays have not only been recovered but new high records have been established for the life of the present contract, with October deliveries selling at 35.20 compared with 31.85, the low level of the previous week and 1925, the low point reached on the declines of last spring.
 This advance has been due to the continued strength of the Liverpool market, further anxiety over new domestic goods markets at advainc- ing prices. Better weather conditions in the south and a more favorable weekly report from the weather bu- reau Wednesday caused only moder- ate reactions owing to the low end June crop indications and the appear ance of trade buying on the declines.
 Reports that one of the prominent southern authorities placed the mid month condition of the crop at 72 compared with the end-June report of 70, led to some selling this morn ing but the offerings were readily absorbed and the best prices of the week made later on reports that trad ing with Germany would be permitted under blanket license and on the appearance of high temperatures in parts of the southwest.

Earns $25,O0O,OOO Annually.

Mount Clemens Mich, July H. Testifying at the trial here today of the libel sought of Henry Ford ..vs The Chicago Tribune, Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford company, said that the net profits of the Ford com pany in 1914, when the minimum wage of $5 day was put into effect, was $3O,000,O00. He said it was the Ford policy to keep profits at $25 ,000,- 900 year, and to this end it was the custom to cut the price of cars each year. In 1916, however, it was deemed advisable to build blast fur naces and expand otherwise, he said, and the price was not cut that year. Profits resulted, and are now being used as originally contemplated.
 When the armistice was signed on November II, 1918, the Ford Motor company, plant at Detroit was entire ly given over to work work, accord ing to Edsel B. Ford, who occupied the entire session of court today. He had net concluded when adjournment was taken until Monday. Henry Ford was in court waiting to testify.

ENGLISH AGAINST TRIAL IN LONDON
 OF LATE KAISER
Opposition Leads to Prediction that Project Will Be
 Abandoned.

London, July 11.-Predictions that the project to bring the former Ger man emperor to trial in England will be abandoned are growing, in view of the almost unanimous opposition of the newspaper of alls parties. Vir- tually all the leading papers, with the exception of the Northcliffe Press are denouncing the plan.
 The Northcliffe papers have taken no stand in the matter, but print many letters from prominent persons opposing the trial. The influential weekly reviews all oppose or deride the project of bringing the former emperor from Holland.
 Walter Runciman, former member of the cabinet writes:
 "Feeling in this country is justifia- bly, bitter against the kaiser. Indeed, it is so bitter that the public might take the law into their own hands and lynch him." The Saturday Re view says:
 "It is a mistake of taste, want of tact. London is the last place in the world that ought to have been chosen, first because the English are the chief enemies of the Germans accord ing to the Germans. Secondly. be- cause London is the court of William of Hohenzollern's first cousin, and the home of his illustrious grand mother: thirdly, because William has often been our guest. King George and the emperor must, in their young CT days. have lived in some intimacy"
 The New Statesman says:
 "Let us hope that the duties of the government will cut the knot for us and save us from the blunder of rein stating the last of the HohenZollerns in. the hearts of his disillusionized countrymen."
