COTTON May
BE SOLD in
OLD MANNER
Bureau Of Markets to Approve
of Bona Eide Sales Under Old
Style for Liquidation.

Washington, March 9-No objection
will be made by the bureau of mar
kets to bona fide cotton sales or pur-
chases under old style contracts for
the sole purpose OF liquidating actu-
ally existing long or short interests,
provided such liquidation is accom-
plished not later than May 1, after
which date all transactions must be
new style contracts, as provided in the
law approved March A.
Firms having such outstanding in
terests on March would be required
to report their positions at once and
to make daily reports of the number
OF bales sold or bought until their out
standing old style contracts are filled.
Call transactions must comply with
the new style contracts as fixed by the
law.
Conferences between Charles J..
Brand, chief OF the bureau. Judge
Graham. cotton futures attorney for
the treasury department, and other
officials, have resulted in an informal
opinion. which was expressed today.
as follows:
"The question as to whether or not
there can be trading in old style con-
tracts, in liquidation OF outstanding
contracts entered into prior to March .
is open to serious doubt from a lega;
standpoint. AS a practical matter. we
sympathize with the trade in it's sit
uation, brought about by making the
amendment effective with the ap-
proval of the act. instead of later, as
originally contemplated.
Old Style Permissible.
I'm the circumstances, no objection
will be made to bona fide sales or pur-
chases Of old style contracts for the
sole purpose OF liquidation OF actually
existing long or short interests. pro-
vided such liquidation is accomplished
not later than May 1, 1919, on and
after which date all sales or pur-
chases on exchanges must be new
style contracts.
In order that the treasury depart
ment may be constantly advised Of the
situation, it was necessary for each
firm having outstanding interest on
March to report either directly or

close any language upon which the

suant to call transactions"

LARDNER TO QUIT
Assistant State Business Man.
ager Gives Up Job.
State Could Not Keep Him ON
Meager Salary.

Failure of the legislature to appro-
pirate for salaries in keeping with
present living demand, caused the loss
of another STATE official today. James
T. sLardner. assistant state business
manager. today handed the state board
of administration his resignation. He
leaves the service July /.
Lardner has been in state service a
number of years and is familiar with
conditions and needs at all state fnsti-
tutions. He was formerly purchasing
agent at the State Agricultural col
lege, and came to Topeka when he
was moved here with his clerical force
in 1914. When the state manager law
was enacted in 1917 and the new state
board of administration created, Lard
ner became assistant state manager.
He received a salary of $2.40 a year.
The state is mighty unfortunate in
losing Lardner," said Harvey Penny,
member of the state board. He
was a highly efficient worker and
mighty valuable in state work. But
we simply couldn't retain him at the
present salary"
Lardner's successor has not been
named. The vacancy will probably be
filled this week at a conference of
members of the board with with
James A. Kimball. state> manager.
