Charges Made by Comn1is-

Montreal, July 10. = Sensational
charges that Sir Robert Borden, pre-
mier Of Canada, is one of the leading
profiteers, are made in the report of
the committee on the high cost of
living to the CanadiA A parliament.
On Tuesday Borden laid OH the
table the report of the committee on
industrial relations. 1t was to have
so long delayed that any legislation
to put its recommendation into eff
feet became impossible this session.
1t would take too much space to
comment upon its terms, but the mi

numerous and amazing documents
that ever emanated from members
of a resposnible commission.

DRASTIC SLUMP
IN COTTON DUE
TO PESSIMISTS
BY Victor Barron.

ATLANTA, Jan. 11.-Despite lower
freight rates, heavier exports and
continued firmness of spots, cotton
suffered a drastic slump late in the
week, as the result of a renewal of
heavy selling by professionals, Wall
Street, commission houses, Liverpool
and Southern sources. Demand was
of a good character up until Friday.
then offerings met only half hearted
absorption
The heavy selling probably was due
entirely to pessimistic talk in dry
goods circles, as there absolutely was
nothing else in the weeks develop
ments to encourage those unfriendly
to the market
Friday the market in New York col
lapsed under weight of heavy selling
and limited support, closing 80 to 1870
points down for the day, while tu-
lures at New Orleans closed 100
1876 points lowers to $3.50 a bale.
Both markets scored a healthy up
swing early in the week on bright
export news, further reduction in
ocean freight rates, strong spots and
optimistic advices from English mill
districts, which was followed by sim
liar news from domestic trade sources.
The sudden change in the tenor of
talk in dry goods circles was
surprising.
Final prices on the New York Ex-
change Friday found futures 40 to
SO points lower than last Saturdays
close, while the list at New Orleans
exhibited a net loss of 50 to 1OS points
for the week.
Following shows the high and low
levels of active options in the two
markets during the week;

NEW YORK.

Thursday; !!Tuesday; .!Friday.
Some nervousness was created ear
ly in the week by reports from Wash
ington that Senator Smith, of South
Carolina, would introduce bill to
amend Section of the Cotton Future
Act to prevent the delivery of tinges
and stains on futures contracts. II
was claimed that the resolution would
permit only two grades below and
above middling to be delivered on
contracts Naturally such would place
futures on a better parity with the
actual The report resulted in rather
active accumulation of October OPP
tions in both markets.
The renewed selling for Liverpool
account was accepted as meaning that
the British anticipate increased i'm
ports of the raw material, and, if the
old adage still holds good: What's
bearish on that side is bullish on this
side"-it should have improved the
American markets instead of helping
the break.
It's no use saying England or other
countries, except enemy countries, eX-
pect more cotton, because MORE COT
TON now is moving abroad than at
any time since we entered the war,
This weeks exports totaled 134,950
bales, against 1929 bales the samt
week last year
That the export situation daily is
becoming brighter is evidenced by the
fact that the total OutgO so far this
season amounts to 2,160.177 bales, as
compared with 2,431 1853 the previous
corresponding period--a. decrease OF
2709S1 bales. Up until December o.
last, exports totaled l 1924 against
1886. 666 to the same date the year
before-a decrease of 446,392 bales
With each weeks exports showing a
nice increase it will not be very long
before the comparison is in favor OF
the present season. Furthermore, the
government is on record as saying that
this seasons export should exceed
last seasons by fully 100000 bales.
With more bottoms becoming availa-

Surely, Europe needs millions o;
