ing was featured by heavy short
covering during the afternoon ses-
sion. especially after March went
over $50. A heavy undertOne was
shown during the first thirty min
utes but the market uncovered
good support later and prices al
most completely recovered by the
end Of midsession. Exporters did
not follow the advance. Last prices
were cents higher
Although corn eased off at the
opening the decline was fully re-
covered after support developed.
Cash interests caused pressure at
the opening. The break brought out
heavy buying by commission
house which gossip credited to a
leading elevator interest Futures
showed a gain Of = cent.
There was little or no increas Sc
in trading in oats which displayed
easiness. Commission houses with
Eastern connections were on the
selling side while buying was of a
local character. Arrivals were
lighter. estimates being siXty-rivc

During this time a decrease of an

taken place, yet rAdiscounts have
Increased approximately $1,000. 600

been absorbed by commercial loans.
but an equal amount of new credit
has been extended. It is this situa-

long delay in the settlement of the
foreign trade situation, which is
making bankers extremely con-

men AND BUSINESS
By Richard Spillane
(Copyright, 1920, by 7

With the largest stock of cotton
on hand in the history of the world.
the anomaly is presented of a pos
sible squeeze" in cotton in New
York. This is of no particular CON
cCrn to the public except from its
cddity and its speculative character
Here are the facts: There arc only
1000 bales of certified cotton in New
York. Ordinarily the quantity is
very much larger. This crop year.
because there was no particular de-
mand for cotton, the crop was al
lowed to remain in the South, par
ticularly as storage space in North
ern centers was filled with finished
goods.
Recently it developed that two
very big cotton houses had COnsid-
erable commitments on opposite
SIDES of the market in the January
option. Just at present middling
cotton is selling in Houston, Tex,
at about twelve cents a pound. The
January or spot position sells in New
York at about sixteen cents. If de-
livery is demanded by the longs
there will be a scurry to bring cot
ton up from the South to fulfil he
contracts, There is plenty of cotton
obtain. but II their buying is urgent
it may give opportunity fer the
people there to get more Tor their
staple than it commands at present
You may see some mild fireworks
Incidentally. there is storage
space idle in Philadelphia and New
York that would accommodate be
tween 100000 ana 100000 bales of
cotton. The warehouse people might
I'LL all or part of this space If they
went after the cotton people. Sooner
,r later the cotton must come north.
Carrying charges are lower in the
North, insurance and warehouse
rates being less. The New York
Dock Company alone has room for
100000 bales of cotton.
1t is predicted that the next cotton
crop viii not exceed 100000 bales.
1t is predicted also that the surplus
from the present crop will be 9,000,-
600 bales. the greatest ever known.
This would be appalling but for
one fact. Whenever there is an i'm
mense surplus of any of the products
Of the earth and the price is much
depressed, lasting good results even
to the people temporarily sufferers.
And this comes through finding new
avenues of use or employment for
the product because of its cheapness
and its superabundanCe. This fact
has been demonstrated many times
in cotton. Today it finds employ
ment in more lines than any other
vegetable growth. Linters-the
shavings from the seed of cotton
today are used in 14S lines of indus
try it did not enter thirty years ago.
BAD as the situation today may ap-
pear to the cotton farmer. he may
profit later and profit much.
There is great complaint about
launderers. Never. it is said, was 50
much acid used by those persons.
Garments are in shreds after a few
trips to the mangle. The prices
charged, too, are, a fright.

 Of Defense Is Heard

George Dunn. rancher from near Hereford. who was arrested on a com plaint sworn to by Joe Boyle, cattle inspector. charging that he had slaughtered cattle without obtaining a state butchers license was rOuad not guilty yesterday afternoon bv a jury in the justice court at Lowell
 Dunn is one of the ranchers who has been selling beef at the rublic market at Lowell Under the law q producer Of cattle may slaughter aaG Scli live beefs year without obtain ing a butchers license. Dunn testi- lied on the stand that he had slaugh- cred five beefs of his own, and that 4t the request of Roman Tellis. a neishbOviDg Tancher, he slaughtered three for him and disposed of them on the public market He testified that he was paid S4 a head for slaush tsring the cattle. Tells s@bstantiaI- ed Dunn's testimony
 The point that the jury had to de eide was whether or not Dunn. in slaushteling Tellis' cattle after hay ing killed five of his own. was viclat- ing the law requiring the possession of Q butchers license to slaughter and offer for sale more than five head of cattle a year.

thing He said that some years ago the Counselor Court condemned an Enslish subject to be hung under the English law. When the time came to have the hanging they could not get any Siamese to hang a man as they thought it very barbarOUs. so they had to send to Singapore for the Of ficial hangman- Singapore i.; nearly one thousand miles away. and when he came the British legation sent out for rope. No one would sell them rope. Finally they get an outsider 10 buy a rope for them and they final Y hung the man.
 So you see that here where they are considered primitive people in many Vays having cruel customs. having no compunctiOn al beheading a man. yet they consider choking q mal tO death most outraseOCs. While this nation yet has capita punish ment. no culprit can be killed until the king signs the death warrant. and like all humane men he is very loath to do so.'

Pie Profteering.

The cost of living has been
shrinking-and we'll it might !;
it was too high; and still the
profteers, I'm thinking, are
charging us too much for pie.
We chase ourselves to eating
places when hunger in due sea-
son calls, and there we sit and
feed Our faces with soup and
greens and Goldfish balls. The
staple things bear modest prices,
the cornbeef hash and garlic
stew; the prunes and shredded
beans and rices the poorest man
may sit and chew. But when
we come to pie the charges in
duce a pious man to swear, by
Cleopatra and her barges, that
some ones rake off is unfair.
They cut a pie in fourteen pieces,
and charge us fifteen cents a
slice, and we would summon the
polices in our disgust at such a
price. A pie brings in about two
dollars, and that is going pretty
swift; what wonder that the
poet hollers, inquiring, "Whither
do we drift?" Pie is tired ma
ture's sweet restorer, our staff
and solace till we die, and oh, it
makes us sore and sorer, when
profteers get rich in pie! Pie
banishes the widows sorrow,
and it the orphans tears will
dry, and we should ostracise to-
morrow the men who over
charge for pie. Far better over
charge for chicken, for sardines
packed in olive oil; pie is the
comfort of the stricken, the stay
of those who weep and toll.
