A representative of the merchants
told the Associated Press today thai
the output of Bremen cotton mills

fuel shortage.
The greatest activity in the cot

where water power is available. Mill
owners have pooled their intere: is
of mills, on full time rather than
allow them to operate on part time
The merchants say the mills have
bought all the cotton needed for
spring and most of the supply nee

Consequently there are only few
emergency sales.
There is general complaint among
the merchants about the failure of
Americans to deliver cotton prompt
ly because Of steamer delays which
are said to be due to the limited OF!
supply and poor steamers.
AS the Bremen exchange forbids
in dealing in futures and requires
spot deliveries, merchants have been

Immediate Opening

Be Urged at Meeting

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 11.-Plans

when the permanent organization
committee of the institution meets

tonight.

thorized under the Edge act, was
accomplished when the minimum
amount of stock-S6,O00.0 0O-was
oversubscribed.
The corporation will extend long
time credits to foreign countries in
need of cotton and other agricul-
tural products, thus creating an ad-
ditional market for the souths huge
cotton crop, it's hackers assert.
Whether the institution can be
put in operation in time to aid farm

that was worrying the leaders to-
night.
Proposed by Robert F. Maddox,
Atlanta banker: at the American

been rapidly consummated.
Tonight it stands ready for bust

This will be done when the perma-
nent organization committee meets
here next Friday.

CARUSOBURSTS
BLOOD VESSEL
WHILE SINGING

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Enrico
Caruso, grand opera star, purst a
small blood vessel in his throat while
singing in the Brooklyn Academy of
Music tonight.
Caruso had finished the first act
of the opera, when the accident &C.

Physicials said they did not believ
! his condition serious. 1t was Caru-
SOS second accident this week. In
a performance in New York he was
injured slightly when he fell on
a flight of stage stairs.
The audience tonight did not no
tice that anything had occurred when
the curtain went down at the end OF
the first act. After an extended de-
lay between acts the manager of
the theater announced that Caruso
was ANXIOUS to continue II the pa
irons desired.
They shouted "No!" and the per-
Torrance ended.
The accident which it was said
is not serious, occurred during the
D'Amore," but the tenor did not stop
until the end of the act.
A physician in attendance then
told hi NIT would be unwise to con-
tinue, for if he did SO, the results
might prove serious. In addition,
the blood in his throat interferred
