 Incendiary Origin
By Associated Press

Cameron, Tex, October 1o--Loss esti- mated at s1,0oo.0o0 was caused by fire here today, which destroyed 1000 bales Of cotton and the compress and ware- house of the Cameron Compress Com pany.
 Officers and the watchmen employed at the compress expressed the opinion that the fire was of incendiary origin.
 The compress was protected by insur- ance, but farmers who had cotton in storage are expected to lose heavily. The compress was owned by A. J. Dos- set of Waco. who lost another press by fire at Quanah less than a month ago.
 The Rockdale fire department came to the assistance of local firemen and aided in saving 1.500 bales Of cotton.
 The San Antonio and Aransas Pass railway lost 327 flat and 437 compressed bales, and the Santa Fe 27 flat bales and 147 pressed. Twenty seven cars were destroyed.
 Authorities are investigating story that an automobile was seen near the press and driven away at high speed just before the flames broke out.

BUYERS PREDICT
 FALLING PRICES Some to Drop Fifty Per Cent From Present LeveIs--Con-
 ventionS Opens
By Assoclated Press

Chicago. october 1o.--That there will be a falling off in prices amounting in some instances to as much as 50 per cent within the next six or seven months was the opinion expressed today by dele- gates in the convention of the Purchas- ing Agents Association. which opens to- morrow.
 ''We do not believe there is going to be any crash or panic" said A. IL Rein- hardt vice chairman of the convention copmittee. But all of the hundreds or buyers I have talked with seem to be- lieve that the peak in prices has been reached and that there will be steady decline from now on. in some instances as much as 50 per cent. I have found no one who believed that there would be a return to pre-war prices for at leasf a couple of years, but all appear to have faith in the tendency downward.
