COTTON FUTURES
TREND STRONGER
Reports of Resumption of
Textile Plants, Favorable
Advices, Boost Market.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-There were
a number of influences to stimulate
the demand for cotton futures to-
day and the market was stronger.
The factors most emphasized around
the ring were heavier. Reports Of
increasing consumption of the staple
at New England and Southern
points follow the resumption of tex
tile plants and favorable advices
from goods circles.
Although quiet. the market
showed steadiness early. First
prices were unchanged to II points
higher on buying by New Orleans
and wire houses with Southern con-
nections. Room shorts also covered
on the bullish weekly statistics and
favorable trade reports Wall
Street and trade interests were the
best sellers. The market made ad-
ditional gains before the end of the
first hour.
Spot at New Orleans was quiet
with middling unchanged at 15c;
the sales were Is bales.
Receipts of cotton in bales at
important points today were: Gal
weston, 6,647; New Orleans. 5,57S;

WHEAT LOWEST
In GRAIN SLUMP
Lack of Demand Felt as Sup
plies Increase in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Lack of de-
mand at a time when supplies in
creased caused a slump in grain to-
day. Wheat closed at the bottom
and other grains followed. Prices
had some recovery from the low
level of the day after wheat suf-
fered a severe setback. Sentiment
at the beginning was bearish.
There was some liquidation at the
start and after a break of cents
locals covered short wheat put out
yesterday. Futures showed a decline
OF Al cents.
Corn was very weak. Support
was withdrawn and the market was
unable to, stand up under the in
oreasing weight of hedging sales.
A little short covering developed on
the break and steadied the market.
Corn was Is to SIS cents lower.
Oats showed increased activity.
Prices suffered fair losses inspired
by the drop in wheat and corn.
Stop loss sales were uncovered on
the way down and the main buying
was on resting orders. Receipts
were light. Futures showed de-
cline of rs cents.
Rye was 22s to 3 nc lower. Bar
ley ruled firm and was l &c lower.
The decline in grain had it's effect
on provisions. There appeared to
be a lack of interest on the buying
side in view of an expectation of a
heavy increase in lard stock. There
were cash demands for ham and ba-

Thomson & McKinnon, local bro

review issued at the close of yester-
days markets, said in part:
To-day we have had the most
quiet and orderly market in several
weeks. Many leading and active
stocks were not quoted until some
time after the opening of the session.
The simple. explanation of this is
an absence Of both buying and SELL

down in interest and probably fore
shadowing a short period of dull

ARGENTINE TRADE

Competition With American
Growers Anticipated in
Continental Markets.

NEW YORK, Jan. I5.-Competi-
tion from the Argentine with Ameri-
ca in the importing markets in
Europe is becoming more of a
factor in the wheat market. No
definite information has been re-
ccived to indicate that, the Argentine
government has settled the question.
but there were private cables re-
ceived here this morning stating
that 1t was rumored that a settle
ment had been made and that wheat
was being offered in the continental
markets at prices equivalent to
about cents under the price OF
American wheat in the same mar
kets.
The British commission is evil

sure, and reports from London this
morning said that the commission
has reduced the wheat price for re-
sale. effective Monday, on all grades
of wheat, ranging from Is to rs Cd
per quarter. There was an absence
of export demand here, and the mar
ket showed further weakness under
selling by commission houses.
The corn market was easy in SYM
pathy with wheat and owing to con-
tinued large receipts at primary
points, American shippers are Of
fering corn abroad cheaper than the
Argentine, but the volume of busi-
ness so far has not been large
enough to make very much impress
sion on the market.
There was little feature to oats,
but prices were weaker under scat

the other markets.
Provisions were inactive, and
prices lower with grain, despite a
show of frmness in the hog market.

DELAY In HEARING
PLAN CRITICIZED
Levering Says Engineers of
Army Are Anxious to
Rap Project.

Hearings scheduled before the
Federal Power Commission on Great
Fails water power projects for jan
uary 20, have been indefinitely post
poned by Secretary of War Baker,
chairman, it was learned yesterday
Inability of the army engineers to
hle their report prior to that date
Is understood to be the reason.
j. II. Levering, California engi-
neer issued a statement last night
criticizing the pOstponement and de-
claring that the delay was merely
to enable army engineers to attack
his plan.
Fear Criticism.
In quarters friendly to the Lev
ering plan, the delay was ascribed
to the desire of the army engineers
to allow the wave of criticism over
the Muscle Shoals project, in which
they were connected, to die down
before presenting another plan for
development of water power.
Relying upon the decision of the
power commission TO set January 20
for hearing on the Great Falls prof.
ects," said Levering. Il have been
to considerable expense arranging
for expert testimony for that date
and I see no reason for pOstpontng
the hearings.
Blames Engineers.
"n the army engineers have not
yet completed their report-and it
was due, under the law, on January
that is their fault. l should be
heard now and they should be heard
later when they are ready.
1T seems like a waste of time to
add another army report to those
already on file. II the project is to
be further considered by govern
ment engineers, it should be re-
ferred to the Interior Department
experts, who have collected the data
and built most of the government
hydraulic installations now Operat-
ing.
Il was informed today by Mr..
Merrill, secretary of the power COM
mission, that the army report had
been examined by Col. Kelly, chief
enginesr of the board, who had sug-
gested kseveral changes.
Hits Col. Kelly.
"As Col. Kelly did not hesitate to
criticize my report before he knew
its contents. the presumption is that
his amendments to Maj. Tyler's re-
port will not be based on a cOnsid-
GRAFTON of its merits. He not only
assumed to speak for the commits
sion, but to revise the reports of the
chief engineer of the army. or any
one else that happens to do busi-
ness with the board"
Maj. Tyler, in charge of the work
for the Engineer Corps, completed
and transmitted his report to Gen.
Beach, chief of engineers, on jan
uary IL. Gen. Beach said yesterday
he had not had an opportunity to
analyze 1t and probably would not
be ready to approve or disapproye 1t
before the date originally set for
the hearing before the commission.

TOWNLEY LEAGUE
ADVICE COSTLY

Testimony opposing several bills
to forbid trading in grain futures
was offered yesterday before the
House Committee on Agriculture. J.
w. Scott, a farmer, of Grand Forks,
North Dakota, testified that farmers
of the Middle West were persuaded
by propaganda of the Nonpartisan
League to- hold their wheat for SO a
bushel when it was selling at $3.50
a bushel. This wheat, he testified,
can only be marketed at a great
loss now.
Senator Dial, of South Carolina,
asserted that the arbitrary grading
of cotton into ten grades by New
York brokers was a frequent source
of loss and fraud practiced upon
Southern planters.
