HARVEY'S SPEECH
 AGAIN QUESTIONED
Representative Flood Wants to Know If His Remarks Were Official or If They Were Approved.

Washington, May 24.-Amba Harvey's Pilgrim dinner speech in London came in for further congress sional attention today, Representative Flood, democrat, Virginia, introduce ing a resolution proposing to ask Sec retary Hughes if certain statements attributed to the ambassador were official utterances, delivered by in- struction or whether they had been approved or disapproved by the de- partm mcnt."
 MT. Flood wanted to know particu- larly whether MT. Harvey was "voic- ing the sentiments and policies Of the United States government" when he was quoted as having said that the declaration of war between Great Britain and the United States has ceased to be conceivable is no more than an assumption"
 Again when he said:
 Not a few remain convinced that we sent our young soldiers across to save this kingdom, France and Italy. That is not fact. We sent them sole ly to save the United States of Ameri- ca and most reluctantly and laggardly at that" Also when he said i've were not too proud to fight whatever that may mean. We were afraid not to fight

Obligation I
sell Good Clothes

In times like these, when the call
for lower prices tempts many to
reduce quality standards, we feel
most keenly our obligation to
continue to sell none but Good
Clothes.
We are successfully meeting the
demand for lower prices by selling
on a greatly reduced margain Of
profit. But in SO doing, we are
adhering strictly to our quality
standards, as exemplified by So
ciety Brand, Hart Schaffner &
Marx and Michaels Stern Value

We could not do otherwise and

who rely upon us for Good Clothes,

COTTON MARKET
DOWN AT CLOSING
Bulls Yield Much Ground in
Last Hour-Final Prices OFF
45 to 62 Points.

Sentiment was so reactionary in yes
only the unfavorable features in the
general situation were emphasized. Bulls
struggled hopelessly against the weight
OF long liquidation and Southern selling
by the increase of stop loss orders In
the last hour gave considerable ground
The market closed at virtually the days
lowest level and with active positions at
As to So points down from Mondays
Anal bids.
In the face OF Government report
showing the lowest condition on record
and the smallest crop indication in more
than thirty years, the market has
dropped more than So a bale since Mon
days topmost level. The trade Is con-
fronted by the questions whether or not
cotton Is no longer cheap at 21 cents
pound, considering the state OF AFFAIRS
all over the world. with Germany's pur-
chasing power curtailed, Great Britain
still narrowed by labor troubles and Italy
still trying to extricate herself from a
maze Of war born problems and whether
or not 1t is possible for the cotton mar
ket to advance In the face of securities
weakness.
A well known Southern authority esti-
mates this seasons consumption of cot
ton by the United States on basis Of
20 or Il cents a pound at roughly
100000 bales. Using Government
figures on exports, which they say should
approximate 6.750, 900 bales. that author
ity states that on August 1, 1922. there
will be a carryover of 1.660,000 bales or
cotton In this country. That calculation
may be upset easily should the ratio Of
increasing exports continue. So far this
week about 10000 bales Of cotton have
been exported. against $1,000 bales last
week. Bulls pin their hopes on exports
and not 30 much on consumption.
Bulls argue that the present increased
hedging by the South may prove ulti-
mately the foundation for healthy ad-
vance. Some time or other. they say.
the actual cotton against which hedge
sales have been made will be moved and
marketed, and then hedges being put out
now in the local market will be covered.
For the present the local cotton market
must go through a digestive process.
which may last until the Anal estimate
Of the 1S21-1922 crop IL made by the
Government early in December. Mean
while the markets fluctuations will de-
pend on the attitude of the Southern
farmer and ginning and conditions re-
ports that will appear before the final
crop estimate.
Manchester advices brighten the bull
side to no little extent. Yesterdays
cables were featured by active inquiry
from India. and spot sales abroad we're
very little decreased. 10000 bales chang
ing hands at 3 point advance.
The weather Is losing its significance
daily. The map was again unsatisfac-
tory, but 1t would be stretching words to
say that II was the cause, of local or
outside buying. The chance for a top
crop of even small size is remote, and
therefore unfavorable weather from now
on will not change crop estimates to any
great extent.
Just after the irregular opening yester-
day the market advanced about 25 points
from Mondays final prices with support
from trade interests and spot houses. but
