Report of British
Labor Troubles
Depresses Cotton
Early Rally in July Contracts
Changed unto Mel Losses :
Liverpool Weakness and
Selling Add 10 Decline

The cotton market made fairly
steady showing until late in the day,
when reports of still more serious
labor conditions In England led to re-
newed liquidation and professional
selling. July contracts, which had
rallied from 1921 to 1903 during the
earlier trading, broke to 1877 late in
the afternoon and closed at that figure:
or &c points net lower. The tone OF
the general market was weak at the
close, with last prices showing net
declines of II to q points.
There was q continuation OF THURSDAY 2
selling movement at the opening and nrst
Weakness OF Liverpool promoted Aau1ua-
tion, but the pressure was much less actlNe
after the heavy selling OF the previous cay
ana prices soon turned steadier. Reports

afforded buyers ncourasenient,$ whtle there
was also some buying on the continued
showers or rains IN Eastern bsle sections,
although temperatures in the South were
more favorable.
narly losses were recovered. with the
market selling about 70 . points net
higher, but buying dwindled. at the ed
vance and when the unfavorRble late labor
news from England reached the ring
prices broke rapidly:

development IN China, and IL there is not
a settlement OF British labor troubles these
conditions may be reflected In the export
division OF the domestic goods trade. Ao-

TO lay down American cotton In Japan
than the better grades OF East Indian.
Southern selling here was less active
yesterday but judging from the sales re-
ported, Dallas finds 1t easier to market
spot cotton below 1t25 for n1iddling than
above Il,5G. At any rate, an increased bust
ness was reported there at a decline OF 80
points to I1.15, Other spot markets were
unchanged to 36 points lower.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 20 points lower at 1896 for mid
ding: sales nil.

Wheat Unsettled
AT the Close After
Show of Strength
Opening Is Lower, Followed
by Sharp Uptnrn; but
Best Prices Are Not Main
tanned; Frost Predicted

CHICAGO May 18s--Wheat averaged
higher in price to-day, chiefly as re-
suit of frost predictions and a. renewal
of unfavorable crop reports. The close
was unsettled at the same as yester-
days finish to &c advance, with May
at s1.43A @S1.431s and July S1.15h@
S115A. Corn gained b@Ac to &c
net, oats A0asc and provisions 100
zoe.
Strength In the wheat market developed
quickly after some depression caused by
absence of frost which had been expected
last night. Indications, however, that the
Northwest and West would have freezing
temperatures tonight led to anxiety lest
the spring wheat just coming UP would
be injured. Meanwhile advices from field
experts in Kansas, Oklahoma and Mis-
souri, tended also to encourage buying or
account OF deterioration evident in the
condition of the winter crop. Toward the
last of the day, nevertheless, profit taking
sales became rather general and best
prices failed TO hold. Rains at some
points in Oklahoma were regarded as
against the bulls. Passage of the Tincher
bin through the House AZ Washington
counted also as an incentive TO sell.
Corn and oats were governed largely
by sympathy with wheat. Country offer
what above the market.
Demand for provisions was stimulated
a little by the strength OF grain.

Liabilities Of International
Exchange Exceed Assets
by $50, 900, 600, Circular
Says; n. Us Opportunity

ST., LOUIS, May 49, Officials Of the
International Fur Exchanges, Funston
Brothers & Co., to-day announced a
deficit of $4,000, 437 in the finances of
the establishment. A circular contain
ing this information is being mailed
to all stockholders, it was added.
The Indebtedness Of the company was
announced at $18 .065, 603. It's assets
were said to be SS,863 ,1G6
In recent years the company has
been holding auction sales that were
said to have been the largest in the
history of the fur trade At several
sales, OF two weeks duration each, re-
seeeipts passed, the $25,ooo,ooo mark.
The company handled sales of govern
ment furs at these auctions.
"The present unfortunate condition
of the company's business" the crcu-
lar says, sis due to the sudden and vio-
lent collapse in the spring Of 1920 of
the wholesale market for furs."
The circular explains that an ar
rangement was made by which the eX-
changes Indebtedness to banks was
consolidated in the form of an accept
ance credit of slightly in excess Of $685.
100000. This arrangement was COM
pleted July 20 last, and was effective
lof HlieIy Gays. An audlLloHal loan OF
approximately $2,000,000 is mentioned
in the circular
Against the announced deficit, the
circular adds, the company has claims
against purchasers amounting to $4,-
$50, 156, about So per cent of which is
covered by insurance.
"In addition" states the circular,
there are owing to the operating COM
pany deficit accounts resulting from adj
vances to shippers amounting to ST.
405,142, of which $2,061,799 is owing
by concerns now known to be bankrupt.
SAT their face value these deficit &C
to cover the balance of Indebtedness
shown by the consolidated balance
sheet, but, unfortunately, there seems
to be no possibility of avoiding very
heavy loss in the final settlement of
these items. 1t is believed the fur
concerns which thus far have survived
without bankruptcy will In many in
stances be able to meet the claims, but
there is no present prospect that the
ultimate collection will be sufficient
to satisfy the Indebtedness"
The announcement of deficit by the
international Fur Exchange, controlled
by Funston Brothers & Co, came as
no surprise to local raw fur dealers.
The financial difficulties of the company
have been known for some time. Since
the company was placed in the hands of
a banking committee strenuous efforts
have been made to collect outstanding
accounts. The fact that many of the
dealers who bought furs at the com
pany's auctions were hard hit finan-
cially when prices slumped, made col
lections exceedingly difficult.
80 Il II.
that New York will now assume the
worlds leadership in the raw fur trade.
with the Funsten concern apparently
ready to wind up it's affairs.

Average Wage Cut
For Last Year Put
AT Ga Per Cent


WASHINGTON, May 10. The aver
age decrease in pay per employee in
leading industrial plants throughout
the country during the past year was
ga per cent, according to the results
of general survey OF the labor field,
announced to-nighs by the Federal
Reserve Board.
Plants which year ago employed
loo 600 workers, the beard declared
showed decline in the numbers en-
ployed Of % per. cent The reduction
in the weekly payroll was found to be
even greater, amounting to 29,8 per
cent.
The inquiry covered establishments
reporting 1,3o8,792 employees April l,
with total weekly payroll of $780,
726,38o, as coHpared with 1,737.7f7
employees and a total payroll Of $751;
286,l63 April 1, 1920.
To some extent reduction in the pay
roll was attributed to the fact that last
year many plants were working longer
hours and aften overtime. Supplement-
airy information, however, the board
declared, indicated that actual rates
paid have been reduced, especially in
the case of unskilled labor. In some
instances, particularly in the South
east, the board added, unskilled labor
has been reduced fully so per cent in
wages.
In three Of the Federal Reserve dis
trlcts, however, increases in the aver
age pay of workers was reported. In
Dallas and San Francisco an increase
was noted In the average compensation
of employees, in the former of ga per
cent and in the latter of 1928 per cent,
coupled with decreases Of employment
of 1873 per cent and So per cent, re-
spectively. In New York there was an
average increase in pay Of 0.5 per cent
and decrease in employment of 1871
per cent.
Decreases in the number of work
ers and in average pay for the other
districts We're: Boston, IT'S per cent
and 81 per cent, respectively; Phila-
land, 43.S and 1872 per cent; Rich
mond, % and 17.7 per cent; Atlanta,
oo.t ana 14.l per cent; Chicago, 1928
and 5.5 per cent; ST. Louis, 219 and
/ l7.6 per cent; Minneapolis, 1877 and
SD per cent and Kansas City, 52.5 and
8.4 per cent.
Reductions in the number on the
pay roll were made in ali the indus
tries covered in the boards survey,
except oil, the reduction being small
est for public utilities, with GA per
cent, and largest for the rubber in
dustry, with "a per cen. Among the
highest percentages of reductions in
employment were: 55.2 per cent for
the automobile industry, 60.4 per cent
for the building industry and Alb per
cent for iron and steel.
Decreases in the average earnings
per employee varied from "a per cent
in the boot and shoe industry, to
40 per cent in the rubber industry.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 49, Fifty
millions in business is being with
held from American merchants be-
cause Of inadequate foreign trade
financing machinery, William c.
Redfield, former Secretary of Com
merce, told the New Jersey bankers
at their convention here to-day.
1--WE arc supposed to be q prac-
tical people," he said, "and here are
conditions which test the truth of
that supposition. If we treat it in
the spirit Of Let George do it, the
answer will be both quick and UNI
pleasant, for the cxport-wise finan-
ciers under George V have no hest
tation in undertaking that which we
may overlook"
Mr.. Redfleld advocated support Of
the Foreign Trade Financing Cor
poration as a remedial measure.

August Fur Sales Urged
Manufacturers See Hope for
Continued Buying

Fur manufacturers here are banking
on the continuation of the policy of
holding retail fur sales IN August TO
chases at wholesale during June and
early July.
The August fur sales were initiated
some years ago and have spread in
popularity among retailers until they
have become fixed events. The usual
sales were held in August last year,
despite the unsettled condition of trade
in general, and were fairly successful,
according to all reports. Although re-
tailers assert that no definite plans
have been made for the August events
this year it is felt that the usual sales
will be held, and upon this the manu-
facturers are depending for most of
their early business this year.
