GARY SEES U. S. OUT
OF SLUMP QUICKLY
Deplores Gougers, Big and Lit
tie, but Blames After War
View for Abnormality.
MANY ARE NEAR INSANE
Pessimists Have No Argu-
ments Backed With Facts
and Figures.

Extravagance waste, decentralization
and mental distortion throughout the
world growing out OF the great war are
responsible for the present conditions OF
depression and crime, in the opinion OF
Judge Ebert II. Gary, chairman of the
directors OF the United States Steel Cor
poration. Prices have been advanced to
ridiculous limits; wastefulness in ma
tional and individual expenditure has run
unchecked the golden rule in business
has been temporarily abandoned by
many; the disposition to get something
for nothing has possessed nearly every
lone.
r. The foregoing thoughts were expressed
by Judge Gary yesterday in an interview
on the general situation as he sees it at
the closing of the year 1920. Judge Gary
fayed national administrative extrava-
gance, not only in this country, but in
other countries as well. Here is his
statement:
ct am only repeating what many at
present are saying when l assert that
there are many things in the general
atmosphere which are disquieting. And
yet am as hopeful and as confident of
the future as have been at any time,
Conditions are no worse than many
months ago predicted would probably be
the case
with others I have for long time
limited at the possibilities. The wonder
is that times have not been much worse.
Conditions are abnormal The minds OF
men throughout the world are distorted.
This, of course, is the result of the ter
rible war through which we have passed.
"The criminal outbreaks in big cities,
the revolutions in various countries. the
h. n xH.1f
ton to get something for nothing, even
by force. are all direct results OF the
military conflicts which have been rag
ing.

COTTON REACTS 0N REPORTS OF RAINS
 IN EASTERN BELT
General List Closed Net Unchanged to 3S Points Higher, With Rallies
 Late In the Day
By Associated Pres,

New York, May 3.-An early advance or reports of rains in the eastern belt was followed by reactions in the cotton market today. owing to a less favor able view of goods trade conditions and the failure of the bullish crop advices to create more active general de- Inand July was relatively weak, sell ing off from 3S.45c to SSc, or 2G points net lower, but there were rallies in the late trading, July closing at SS.2Oc and with the general list closing net un- changed to 3S points higher.
 The market opened at unchanged prices to an advance of 50 points, with active months selling about 25 to 5o points above last Fridays closing fig uIes during the early trading. There were numerous private reports of rains in the eastern belt and complaints of further delays in farm work, particu- larly from Georgia and Alabama. These aGvices, combined with the opening strength of the stock market, led to a good deal of scattered covering, while there was some Liverpool buying here and a moderate demand from Wall street.
 As soon as the first furry of buying subsided, however, the market turned easier owing to more favorable crop advces from the southwest, where re- cent rains have been beneficial and temperatures more favorable. As prices worked off there was more talk of a slackening demand for cotton goods owing to the resistance of consumers to higher prices and there was also comment on the reported spread oi labor troubles in New Bedford and wage uncertainties of disputes at other mill points. October broke from 36c to 3555c, and December from 35.20c to 34.S0c but the market showed rallies within IS or 20 points at the close of trade buying of July and renewed de- 1nand from houses with Liverpool con- nections.
 Manchester cables reported that strike notices had been postponed until next Saturday, and encouraged hope that the wage dispute there might be settled Exports today, 1856, making 5,615292 so far this season. Port re- oeipts. Il, 209; United States port stocks, 1,15S,129.

 In the early trading prices were ad- vanced 50 to 57 points, but before the session was very old private predictions of rain for Texas attracted much atten- tion and caused a selling
