TRACTION INQUIRY.

The resolution introduced in the

investigation of dealings in the trac-

caused quite little comment among
professionals. Although no one in the

he had seen Governor Miller's mes
sage on the fractions before it was
released, its trend was pretty well
known among traders. Those who
had quietly picked up the traction
stocks were able to dispose of their

out without much difficulty.

LEATHER OUTLOOK.

The passing of the preferred divi-

aroused considerable interest as to
the affairs of the Central Leather and
other companies. II is not believed
that the Hide and Leather directors
would have, passed the dividend if
there were any possible ways in which
IL could be paid. Leather men continue
in the belief that no permanent re-
"diustm"1t can he expected until the
public is induced to buy. This can
oniy b. brought about by retailers
accepting the situation and. reducing
their prices While the leather men
admit that some retail prices hayc
been reduced. they state there are
many retailers who still hold out fer
too much profit. ."

NEED FOR SINGLE

Need for more general adoption by

of the Bureau OF Markets OF the De-
partment OF Agriculture. who last
year graded approximately 23o.730

For this reason cotton specialists
OF the department are giving special
attention to- educating producers re-
garding the value OF .cIsssiag cotton

the depressing enect OF inferior
staple upon prices. and tbe losses in

demonstrations as a fun inch or lon

bringing into the hands OF the pro-
ducers thousands OF dollars more than
they could have gained under former

A further result. say officials, has
been the withdrawal from the field
of so many so-called "scaipers" buy

the ignorance OF the grower as to the

World markets have a deep and
