Cotton Prices Fall
7,3 to 95 Points

Continued liquidation on the New
York Cotton Exchange yesterday
brought quotations on the staple of
the South down from 70 to IS points
more October futures sold as low as
34.50 cents pound, revealing q net
223 points since early in the week, but
u rally toward the close of trading
narrowed the days loss to So points,
or $500 of cent a pound
The spectacular smash took place in
May contracts which fell to $3.50 cents
a pound, which is AIS points below the
level attained Wednesday before the
break. The decline was more sensa-
tional than significant and represented
an attempt during the last few min
utes OF trading to sell few hundred
bales.
The general decline was facilitated
by reports that q severe break had
taken place in the Egyptian futures
market. In the local market buying
orders came from the South, which
seemed indisposed to liquidate hold
lngs at present prices.
CHICAGO, May Exhibitions of
bushels of grain were flung suddenly
on the market to-day by holders who
had become unnerved. Prices ouive red
and then collapsed. The strain and its
violent result were attributed mostly
to sweeping changes announced in rail
road operation and to nation wide
tightening of credits. Wreekase OF
values totalled 1915 cents bushel on
corn, 6's cents on oats and $l75 a bar
rel on pork. Tonight, owing to the
tension created, every brokerage house
~ Chicago was calling for heavily in
creased margins on all open trades and
there was PROJECT of another strenuous
day on exchange tomorrow. Whether
reaction or a further drop in quotations
was to be looked for few authorities
were willing to predict, but anxiety
was ev dent that either contingency
should be guarded against, to an un-
usual degree

mittee had taken over the management
Of the union, which is affiliated with the
International, until Briggs completed
his investigation and audit.
Max j. Scharf, who had led the strike
told reporters after the meeting that
the insurgents had won their demands.
He pointed out that the ten men who
were discharged by the milk companies
at the instigation of the union officials
precipitating the strike, were back at
work; that the charges of misuse by
union officials of union funds were be-
ing investigated, and that international
ofhcers had taken over the control Of

manufacturers to print the prices on
all shoes they sell to dealers, shall be
given a preferred place on the Senate
calendar
Senators Kenyon of Iowa, johnson of
California, Norris Of Nebraska, and
other Republicans during the past few
days have demanded on the floor Of the
Senate that the Republican steering
committee include these bills in the
list of measures that must be con-
sidered by the Senate before any ad-
journment is taken.
They have joined with the Demo-
cratic insurgents in threatening to
issue "manifesto" to the country, de-
nouncing the leaders of Congress for
their refusal to permit consideration
of legislation designed to reduce the
cost Of living, if Congress should ad-
journ before these bills were voted
on.
Kendrick Would Push Packers Bill
Senator Kendrick, Democrat, of
Wyoming, co-author with Senator
Kenyon of the bill placing the packing
industry under control of the Federal
government and prohibiting the packers
from engaging in any side lines of
business, demanded in the Senate to-
day that the bill be considered with
out delay.
Concentration of control of the meat
| packing industry has resulted in a de-
crease of production and decrease Of
the supply Of meat products for the
consumer, Senator Kenndrick said
He presented figures to show that in
spite Of the great increase in the
population of the United States since
1900 the number of sheep and cattle
has been steadily decreasing, while the
number of hogs has shown a slight in
crease. The bic packers, he said, handle
80 per cent of all the cattle and sheer
killed in interstate commerce, as
against only 81 per cent Of the number
J of hogs.

Si1ty Firms Protest
Prosecution OF Packers

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Protests
against charges of profitcering being
lodged against the meat packing indus
try were presented to Vice President
Marshall and Speaker Gillett to-day
by sixty firms styling themselves the
independents" The sgners of the
protest offered to prove to Congress and
the public that average profits are less
than two cents on the dollar and that
packers profits represent less than five
cents on tie meat bill of an average
family.
Charges of profiteering, the protest
ants declared, have injured the meat
packing industry, the farmer and the
livestock producer.

opera, there was place waiting for her in his establishment as head designer.
 Miss Farrar's style of beauty and coll bring allows her to adopt a certain dar fngness in design and color scheme of dress which few women could stand. She takes enormous pains and interest not merely with the gowns in which she appears in public, but with the dresses she wears at home and on the street. Her early appearances in New York are looked forward to with inter est not merely by music lovers, but by dressmakers, for she has always some new idea that is rapidly taken up by the public. The famous hobble skirt, which happily has gone out of fashion, was worn by Miss Farrar a year before it's use became general It was she who brought back to fashion the long, flow ing lines of the directoire and revived the famous style of head-dress invented a century ago by Madame de Statel. In Paris she has at her beck and call the most famous designers = Paquin, Worth. Muelle and Bakst yet in the end she is the designer of her own cos tunes. whether they are for operatic or concert use, or for her use in private life.
 The great war prevented Miss Farrar from making her usual trips to Paris, but this had little effect on her cos tunes, for she has very high regard for the American dressmaker and the American designer, and the women who go to hear her sing are certain of some pleasurable shocks of surprise in new ideas which the great singer has em- bodied in her wardrobe.
