New Lows Reached
In Cotton Slump
AS Pressure Gains
Spot Price OFF Cent at 2l,
While All Futures Break
Through 20 and Decem-
ber Drops to Low of 1860

Notwithstanding the extent of pre-
vious declines, there was q further and
severe break in the cotton market yes
terday, with prices for an deliveries
making new low records for the season.
December contracts we're relatively
weak, selling off to 1860, or 140 points
net lower, and closing ct that level,
with the general market closing weak
at net losses of 62 to 40 points.
Increased nervousness over the Brit
ish labor situation, due partly to ru-
mors that railway workers might strike
in support of the coal miners following
a conference to be held next Wednes-
day, doubtless contributed to the weak
ness of the days market.
Not long ago it was reported that
Southern bankers were intending to
lend between 18 and zoe a pound on
cotton this season. and now that mar
ket prices are down to about that level
it may be that some of yesterdays sell
ing represented hedging as protection
against loans on cotton already held
as security Sales of print cloths at
Fall River for the week were estimated
at only 5000 bales, and the curtailment
of mill activity was said to have been
the greatest so far reported.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 100 points lower, at 21c for
middling. No sales were reported.

Increased Offers
Cause Wheat Drop:
Sales on Advance
Farmers Take Advantage of
Sharp Upturn, Falling to
Show Consistency. Traders
Believe: Tone Is Weaker

Western farmers evidently are anx-
ious to sell wheat despite their pro
fessed intention Of holding it for So.
This was evident in Saturdays market
when country offers were on a much
more liberal scale and at lower pre-
miums compared with futures.
The sharp advance of Friday eel
IDENTIFY attracted more selling by farm
ers who were will to take advantage
of tho upturn. This pressure was
taken by the trade to Indicate that
farmers are not entirely consistent
IN their assertions that the market had
been unduly depressed, and recognize
the general change in commercial con-
ditIons, including the general read
lustment of values. The whole mar
het was easier and the close fo the day
showed losses Of 5 Z to cents from,
the previous close.
The export demand was of a linn
tied character and leading exporters
expressed the oninion that the advance
in the price of wheat, the weaker for
eign exchange market and the British
coal situation made combination
which was likely to preclude export
operations.
In the local cash market No. 2 red
and No. 2 hard wheat were quoted at
S2.43 c. i. f. track New York.

TO Old Economic Order
Asks for Restoration of
Huge World Commerce

Frank 4. Vanderlip has the
reputation of being leader
among forward looking fnanciers.
He argues in this discussion,
though, that what the world now
needs is to turn back in part to
the pre-war methods of life.

thing like the old order of world
commerce, millions of people can
not live" he asserts. Millions
have already died because of the

Trying to Average Costs

The retailers are now trying 10 aver
age their costs and base their selling
prices upon these averaged cost prices.
Some of the goods in the retailers
stocks were bought at peak prices and
Implications have been made at lower
prices.
Perhaps the most interesting de-
velopment that has taken place in re-
tail merchandising in the last few
months is the elimination of many
price lines. One store TINS fall carried
at least eight fewer prices in its line
o. domestic millinery than II did last
year When ~ IS realized that com
rlcte color and stvle range must be
carried in each price line and that a
certain percentage Of these hats must
be sold al loss at the end of the
season TO close them out. it becomes
clear why ii reduction of lines carried
results in a smaller capital invest
ment for the store. One store now
7 carries approximately only one-third
the number cf price lines in lines that
1t did year ago.
Competition Is keener
Being in business primarily to make
profit, the retailer is holding OF
making reductions as long as possible.
He admits : The same thing is true
Of the wholesaler The only difference
is that tho wholesaler sells 70 fewer
people than the retailer and therefore
feels the reaction ~ trade sooner than
does the last link IA the distributing
chain. The slow buying on the part Of
the public. however. admittedly IS fore
; ing the retailer TO bring down his
prices. Competition is becoming keener
and almost every retailer expects it
to multiply as the season DEVELOPS
Women, who form the bulk Of the buv
ing public, are shopping as never before.
