DistiIlerS' Prospects

In d circular covering the prospects
of the United States Food Products
Corporation, the name under when the
Distillers Securities is to operate after
the annual meeting next week, Chand-
Ter g. Co. make the following state
ments, which were officially coniirmed
"Few United States Food Products
shareholders know that their company
is already an important producer OF
such articles as jams, jellies, Maras
chino cherries, etc. In fact, it is
understood that II. II. Shufeldt g. Co.
of Peoria, III. (Which subsidiary is
manufacturing these products) arc al
ready tens of thousands of pounds be-
hind in their deliveries of these items.

No Fifty-Bale Contracts

From time to time there has been
talk, principally among the small cot
ton traders, of starting movement to
make the unit of trading on the New
York Cotton Exchange fifty bales in
stead of one hundred bales, as at pres
ent. The chief reason for such plan
is the large margins which are eXacted
at present. But were such plan
broached to the board of governors of
the exchange it would not meet with
approval. Walter L. Johnson, presi-
dent Of the exchange, said that the plan
would not be considered. Cotton men
explained that were such action taken
it would necessitate a change IN the
bylaws Of the exchange, which specify
that one hundred bales shall be the
minimum. 1T would also be necessary
TO have another ring on the floor of the
exchange, and would result III the
bringing in of additional brokers who
would handle odd lots, similar to
brokers who handle odd lots of stocks
on the Stock Exchange. There would
be two sets of prices, as the charges of
handling an odd lots transaction would
be larger than for the one hundred bale
or larger lot Cotton men do not like
the idea in the least. There would be
too much confusion, they say.

Montreal Workers Res,ive
Demand Made for Higher
Wages and ''PreferentiaI
Shops"

New York fur manufacturers are in
tcrested in the reported labor Difficult
ties in the fur trade in Boston and
Montreal. 1t ls expected that the 500
or 700 fur workers III the Canadian city
VIII 20 on strike for shorter hours.
higher wages and "prefercntial shops."
The last mentioned issue means that
the workers want the manufacturers to
give preference to union men when
employing help. Most of the Montreal
manuiacturers operate "open shops" in
winch union and non-union help arc
employed.
In Boston the fur workers arc max
ing an effort TO obtain the same work
ing conditions as prevail in New York
under the agreement recently reached
between the manufacturers and en-
ploycs. This means, in the main. n re-
duction of working hours from forty
eight to forty-four and an increase Of
40 per cent in the minimum wage scaLe
1T is believed here that the Boston
manufacturers and their employees Will
come to an agreement without strike
developing.

Prospects of an early lifting Of the
embargo upon the shipment of Ameri-

sent prices soaring on the New York
Cotton Exchange Yesterday The new
style May contracts sold up to 24.35
cents, or l55 points above the closing
price or Monday and Sl3 bale above
the price of week ago.
Closing quotations for the different
contracts We're 81 to St above the level
OF the preceding day. Reports that the
work of drafting the final peace treaty
is rapidly progressing led TO predlc-
tlonS that cotton would be soon NOV

According to Washington advices,
we'll organized movement is on foot to
buy a million bales of cotton in this
country for Germany, the commodity
TO be stored here until peace is official
ly proclaimed. 1t is understood that
the British viii place no obstacles in
the way of sending American cotton
INTO Germany, while French opposition
is expected to be broken down.
Contributing factors TO the general
uplft in cotton prices were the better

Must Complete ''Old Style"
Contracts bv April 80

WASHINGTON, March 12-To clear
up Misunderstanding the Bureau Of
Markets tonight ssued a statement
explaining its recent ruling on tho
cotton futures act that purchases or
bona fde sales covered by old style
contracts for the purpose of liquidation
would be permitted until April 80. The
statement follows:
"t'ulfllment Of old style contrasts in
accordance with other written terms
namely by actual delivery or receipt Of
cotton or by setof or ringout or by
cash settlement in the future month in
which they mature, is not prevented by
the recent amendment to the cotton
future act Under the provision of the
amendment as passed there is serious
doubt as to legality of permitting the
