 Exchange Called
 Criminal Agency

Greenville, s. C., June 24--De- claring that the "New York Cotton Exchange is criminal agency to beat down the5prices of cotton," Thos. J. Shackleford of Athens, Ga., attorney for the American Cotton association, criticized the practices of the or ganization today before the 20th an- nual convention of the South Caro- lima Bankers association.

 "The time has come when we must divorce our service from the New York exchange to establish cotton center in the south," he concluded.
