REDS WORKING

Chicago, Nov. 2f-The first ''under-
ground party" that the United States
has ever seen is now believed to be
operating according to Edward J.
Brennan, division superintendent of the
Bureau of Investigation of the Depart
ment of Justice here.
1t appears he said, THAT the mem
beers or great majority of them of the
Communist paSfes have gone over to a
United Communist Party that seems to
be maintaining secrecy never before
attempted by an American radical or
ganization.
These people appear to be holding
meetings with the utmost secrecy with
which they can surround them. Names
used appear fictitious.
''The Russian element which formed
the backbone of the original Communist
Party appears to be in control and to
have the bulk of the membership of the
new secret organization.
Literature is frequently distributed
without any indication as, to where it
comes from. In order to escape detec-
ton, 1t appears that the party members
take unusual precautions. The members
are known among themselves and lit
erature is passed around among them.

NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, May 27. The local mar kct for raw sugar was weak and lower under increased offerings from all sources brought about the continued agitation against the high prices pre- vailing and the various investigations pointing towards possibly larger sup plies in Cuba than the trade has been aware of. Business, however, was not particularly active, with refners in. clined to go slow. There were sales of some Porto Ricos to local rcfiner al 20.50, cost and freight, duty paid, and 25,000 bags of Cubas for MayJunc shipment at 10 1-2 cents, cost and freight, equal to 20 56 for centrfu- gal The market closed unsettled with Cubas offered at 19 1-2 cents cost and freight, equal to 2056 for centrifu- gal. --.=
 The market for refined did not re- fleet any of the nervousness exhibit ed in raws and prices were advanced !,v one rcfiner to the basis Of 26 12 cents for fine graduated. Prices DOW range from 21 12 to 26 12 cents with refiners all pretty well sold up.
 The weakness in raws led to renew cd liquidation in futures and prices broke 100 points, the full maximum decilen permitted for any one days session, with closing prices at the | lowest.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, May 27,-The trend was higher in the cotton market to- day, although bullish operations were, to some extent, restricted by the better weather prevailing in the belt Buying was mainly done on the con tinued very low condition figures from private crop reporting bureaus. After a rise of ri to Is points around the opening the market declined under selling due chiefly to the good wcath- CT map. A little later the real buying movement of the day set in.
 Much short covering came up on the market during the last half of the ses- sion and it was estimated by the nearness of the memorial day holiday and bureau day. Just before the close offerings frsm satisfied longs became rather liberal, causing recession. Sellers could not make headway gainst the private condition reports of which there were four; one of 62.8 the same figure as the report of yes terday that caused a furry in the bul camp; another of 65.4, one of 66.5 anc one of 6S9,

Washington May 27.-That Texas faces 2 country wide "quarantine'' if the state attempts half way meaa-f urcS with the pink worm pest was q notice served on the legislature today hy Secretary Meredith of the depart mrnt of agriculture in letter read at special session called to ratify recent agreement between the nation al government and Texas and Lousi- ana representatives.
 The immediate needs, Mir Meredith said in his letter to Governor Hobby, after expressing regret that he could dot address the session personally, Was declaration of mon cotton zones for the infested area of Texas and the blowing up of fields already planted in such arcas.'
 ! "I sincerely hope,' the secretary ad- dcd, "that this legislature will as promptly as possible, make suitable legislation and amendments to tn" Pink Roll Warm act of 1919 as may he necessary to carry out the full program of cxtormination, including the reasonable compensation by the , statc to the planters concerned for their loss.'
 At another point the secretary said:
 lit l'9NpIl VI iIlt bfli WtfNtl pHpuld not be lost to Texas and this coun- try. Failure to profit by that lesson would surely bring upon the cotton industry of this nation a calamity which could not be measured Stating the departments position and that of other cotton growing states, Mir, Meredith said;
 of Texas should fail in this cmer- gcncy to carry out the program of teNterminatioH and adopt in lieu there of pomc half way course which would practically amount to giving up the
 fight and leaving room for the spread ;, of the insect in Texas and other states, the department of agriculture realizing it's obligations to the other cotton growing states, feels that in would be rcmiss in it's duty if 1t failed to do everything that is possi hlr within the limit of it's power and authority to prevent the spread of the pest from Texas"

EARLY REACTIONS
 ARE FOLLOWED BY
 RENEWED FiRMNESS

New York, May 27- Today's private crop reports were a little more ia vorable, but early reactions were roi- lowed by reserved firmness in the cotton market. The general market closed easy net unchanged to go points higher
 The market opened steady and soon turned easy under realizing or seat tcring liquidation. A southwestern ro port placing the condition of the crop at 6S.9 seemed disappointment to people who had bought on a report Of 6S.S earlier in the week. anad was also considered responsible for break in the Liverpool market.
 Untavorable reports from the goods trade encouraged reactionary sentj- ment after the evidence of the past two or three days, but even the high CT crop condition figures still com pared very bullishly with previous years and the market rallied later on reduced covering. This was stimu- lated during the middle of the after noon by reports of gold imports and the firmer ruling of the stock market.
 Two other private reports were is sued, one of them making the condi= tion 65.4 and the other 6G.5 while a cancas of local exchange members showed that d government report of around 65.9 was expected on the av- craze.
 One of today's reports said the acreage was about the same as last year, while another pointed to an in crease of 1 per cent. Port rectipts to day 7.936 United States port stocks l,073,430. Exports 9,345, making D. S91 .933 so far this season.
