Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans January 7.--Liverpool is again lower on parity adjustment on the basis of lower freights and general re- drction in the import costs. The freight is yet si.5o per 100, but forecasts from shipping quarters indicate a sensational cut towards the end of February. when all paternalism stops and old time free competition becomes operative. This ac- counts for the increased discount and greatest decline in Liverpool in the more distant positions. Some freight engage- ments for March are already rumored at as low as sl.50, which would be s15 a bale below the present rate, or 300 points
 This, of course, should not affect our market at all. On the contrary the out. look for cheaper export cost is bullish for our side, but the first superficial i'm pression always is acted on. and first trades here this morning were at de- cline of 90 points oa a little selling on the lower Liverpool.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 7.-Following a decline on the opening today the price of cotton rose strongly, the trading months advancing a cent a pound from the lowest levels. Technical conditions were generally given on the floor as the reason for the improvement in values the market acting both sold out and oversold. The initial decline amounted to p to 32 points; this was recovered and replaced by a net rise which finally amounted to q to 73 points. In the after noon small recessions from the highest
 occurred and last prices showed net gains for the day of 2S to 42 points.
 The early selling was in sympathy with poor cables and in addition, the bear element quite plainly sought to carry the reaction to greater lengths. When shorts tried to take profits they found little cotton for sale and the market frmed up rapidly although during a good part of the session buying was only !

EXAMINATION OF
BERGER is ENDED
SOCIALIST LEADER GIVES SIGH
OF RELIEF AS HE
QUITS STAND

Chicago, Jan. 8.-After being on
the stand for three days, Victor l..
Berger Of Milwaukee, who with four
other Socialist chiefs is on trail
charged with conspiracy to interfere
with the governments prosecution
Of the war, concluded his testimony
today.
Berger breathed sigh of relief as
he stepped from the witness stand.
Seldom has a defendant been sub
jected to more severe cross exam
ination than that administered to
Berger, by Assistant District Attor-
ney Fleming.
Government agents worked a year
investigating Berger's records and as
a result mass of documentary evil
dence was in the hands of govern
ment counsel for use in the cross
examination Of the defendant
Berger was confronted with prac-
tically every public utterance al
legged to be sedtious, which he had
made in recent years, and with hun
dreds of published anti-war articles.
He was asked to explain a number of
statements which apparently he had
forgotten ever having made.
Looks For Aid In Vain
The cross examination uncovered
a number of surprises. While under
the ordeal Berger looked appealingly
at his attorneys for protection but
they were unable to stem the tide Of
questions by government counsel
which, in nearly every instance,
brought discriminating admissions.
Berger at the opening of the court
complained of headache and asked
to be excused from reading docu-
ments.
"Is it not true that the majority
Socialists of Germany stood by the
kaiser in the awar?" asked Mr.. Flem:
ing.
"They stood by their country, not
by the kaiser" replied the witness.
Government counsel then read
from newspaper reports showing
that the majority Socialists of Ger
many supported the kaiser through
out the war.
Mr.. Fleming read from a speech by
Berger in which he declared that in
the advent with war with Japan the
Socialists of this nation would stand
by their country to the last ditch
I'm, other words, the Socialists
would stand by this country in war
with Japan but not in war with
Germany" said the government coun-
sell
mo l mean that the Socialists
would stand by this country in a.
war with any nation If our country
were attacked" replied Berger.
"Do you think Germany attacked
this country when it sent submarines
to our eastern coast and raided our
asked Mr. Fleming.
"No, l DON'T" said the witness
'She was not attacked in the same
sense as Belgium"

WOULD GARANTEE
1919 WHEAT PRICES

Washington, Jan. 1O.-Chairman
Lever Of the house agriculture COM
mittee announced today after a con-
ference with Secretary Houston that
legislation to insure the maintenance
of the government wheat guarantee
price for the 1919 crop was being
drafted by the department of agri-
culture and that he would introduce
ii in congress within few days.
Mr. Lever said the legislation
would authorize the Presindent to con-
tinue operation Of the food admins
tration's grain corporation or create
a new agency for buying, selling and
storing the 1919 crop. A revolving
fund of $6OO,0OO,000 for the use of the
corporation also would be provided.
"The government" Mr.. Lever said,
will buy all of the 1919 crop and
sell it at the world price, whatever
that may be-" He added that the
government might lose large sum
by maintaining the price, but that
it was necessary to keep faith with
the farmer.
While the world wheat reserve
soon to be released was not now
known, Mr.. Lever said, Australia has
a supply of 3oo,ooo,ooo bushels and
Argentina, India and other countries
probably have large stocks, the sale
of which might effect the export de-
mand and reduce prices. :& . .l

HARDEN APPEALS TO
GERMAN PEOPLE

London, Jan. 9,-The Times quotes
an article appearing in Die Zukunft
of Berlin of Dec. ii in which Maxi.
milan Harden, it's editor, appeals to
[GernaIiss he deno nstration
Of good faith and readiness ito secure
confidence by giving guarantees.
The article asserts that the Ger
Inan people fail to face the facts
about their own plight and / Allied
opinions. First, it says, the German
people accepted the Official lie" in
vented in order to conceal the re-
sponsibility Of the emperor for even
tual defeat, that Germany had been
wantonly attacked; and, second, when
defeat come, the German people
let off their own rulers so lightly. It
declares the German people do not
really understand the account which
Is being made up against them,
which Herr Harden described as
"fifty-one months of brutal rule in
Belgium during which every law of
humanity was broken, the devasta-
tion of northern France, air r8ids
against all law, the custom Of sink
ing passenger and hospital ships
secret agreements with the Irish and
the Flemish, the smuggling of explo-
,slves, baccilli and incendiary instru-
ments into neutral countries, and
everywhere bribery, fraud and theft"
Herr Harden asserts that the German
people do not realize the situation
they have to face and after express
ing the belief that the Allies believe
that the German revolution is a fraud:
urges Germany to approach the Allied
powers with assurance that Ger
many really places all her hopes in
the abandonment of Militaristic am
bitions and the creation of a new
world.
