NO ACTION ON
LIVE STOCK BILL
IN ARGENTINA

Buenos Aires, Nov. 12-(Mail)-
The Argentine congress has ended its
regular sessions without taking. any
action on the bill introduced to fix
a minimum price for livestock.
The measure was accompanied by
charges that the British and Ameri-
can meat packing companies operat-
ing in Argentina were making xce
dve profits and had &aused the stump
In live stock prices. The bill failed
in committee following o report on
the meat trade situation made at the
committees request by thu Argentine
Rural society, a national agricultural
organization. The report opposed the
bill.
The Rural society, which held a
hearing at which the Of the
packing establishments and represen-
tatives of the livestock industry gave
their opinions, held that the fixing
of a minimum price was uneconomic
and that h charges that the fall In
price Of live stocks was "the result Of
the interested maneuvres" of the
packers, had not been proved. 1t was
not the consequence OF a certain
factor but Of q worldwide situation.
the report said. The society advised
that the meat trade should be left
10 the regular action of supply and
demand.
Regarding what were referred to as
the meat trusts" the report said:
Ell the existence Of 'noxious trusts
had been proved, the Argentine Rural
society would condemn them and
claim h guarantees of our laws
against them. But before reaching
this point a better knowledge Of the
situation Is necessary. Those who
make an industry OF meat should be

course Of their business being perfect

COTTON GINS OF.

Every Gin in Cameron County
Operating to Full Capacity
Cotton Of High Grade
and Bringing Top Price

The cotton gins Of Cameron county
are running steadily day AID night 10
handle the bumper crop of cotton the
county is producing this year. Prices
nj all points in the Valley are ranging
from - to - certs. and the cotton =
grading exceptionally good.
Tha brownsville gin reported this
morning that 1876 bales had been turned
out. and the gin is getting into full
swing and will handle the crop rapidly.
Al San B"nito and Rio Hondo the
three gins reported a total of 3t-l
bales up 20 Mo.day noon, and the iiar'
;iugcn gins reported 2.I22 bales.
In Tiidalgo county the same condi-
ton prevails as in Cameron. The gins
are taxed tn their capacity To- handle the
big yield of the flcecy staple. l'le;t,
# labor for cotton picking is available
in all the Valley counties, with the re-
suit that gins are being severely taxed
to keep up with the pickerS. In most
towns of the Valley long lines Of wag-
ons loaded with cotton are lined up nj
each gin. and in some cases the farmers
are obliged To wait many hours.
Reports from Willacy county and the
other dry farming districts Of the Val
ley Indicate that the same conditions NJ
regards bumper crop prevail. Hun
ireds Of acres Of cotton in the dry
farming areas are now ready for the
pickers. and the production in many
cases will run over three-fourths of n
bale.
The high prices the Valley is receiv-
ing for its cotton this year is tho direct
result Of IFS ability Ia get the earliest
cotton 10 the market. according to the
buyers statements Many Of the mills
have large stocks Of old cctton. but for
certain fabrics a mixture of Eew cotton
is desirable. with the result that the
first cotton on the market receives q
premium.
