WANTS FOREIGN FIRMS
70 REDUCE RISK RATES
A. F. Mock Says Ship Board
May Force Action.

A. II. Mack. district director OF opera-
tons for the Shipping Board. said yes
terday he would favor action by tho
board to foroe foreign underwriters to
reduce their rates on coverage for
American ships. These, he said, have
been kept UP at levels not warranted by
the improved efficiency of the Shipping
Board operators. AS the resources OF
American underwriters are not sufficien.
to handle the entire business of the board
1t has been necessary to continue to do
some OF the underwriting IN Londcn.
Mr.. Mack said:
American underwriters have lowered
their rates on the ground that only the
best types OF Shipping Board vessels are
now In service. The inefficient oper-
ators have been eliminated and officers
and men have besomo experienced in
handling their vessels. The Shipping
Board could easily forco q similar action
by foreign underwriters II II agreed to
carry all insurance itself that could not
be handled In the American market. I
have already made this suggestion and
believe IL entirely practicable"

HARDING REJECTS PLAN
TO REPAIR LEVIATHAN
Boston Navy Yard Method
Declared Indefinite.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-Inability OF
the Boston navy yard to submit def
mite bid for the reconditioning OF the
steamship Leviathan prccludes any plan
to have the work done there, President
Harding to-day notified Representative
Dallinger (Mass.). who recently made
such a proposal.
II have before me the bids which
were submitted by private contractors"
the Presidents letter stated, "and get
a variation In these bids amounting to
approximately S5.000,000. II the Ship
ping Board should have the Leviathan
reconditioned without a definite bid and
the cost should run to the larger figure
CT the bids submitted. such action on
the part Of the Shipping Board would
never be excused.
II really do not and myself able to be
helpful In designating the work in ac-
cordance with your suggestion. think
Il is fair to assume that the Government
yards at Boston ought TO do this work as
cheaply as any other yard. but there is
no way by which we can learn tho cost
In advance at the Government yard at
Boston and we do know precisely what
we are called upon to Pay under an
award to a contracting concern"

SHIP BOARD ASKS
so MILLIONS MORE
Cash Is Needed to Compromise
Part Of Claims Out Of
Court.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1o.--An apprcpria-
tion Of $50. 100000 for settlement OF
claims was requested Of Congress to-
day by the Shipping Board. This
amount Is needed in addition to 100000
900 already sought by the board for ex-
penses during tho coming fiscal year. a
. communication forwarded to Speaker
Gillett by President Harding from the
Budget Bureau stated.
Total claims pending against the

board against various individuals and
companies amounting to $7s.2ss.166.65,

the board at $219,160,678.94.
OF the $4,000, 900 requested $50. 0.000,-
900, the communication stated, is needed
at once. The Shipping Board reported
that $54.000.000 In admiralty claim,
were pending against 1t, while claims
totaling S62.000.000 had been presented
before the Court OF Claims. No appro.
priation Is needed at this time. Congress
was told. for settlement Of these two
classes Of claims. as the Shipping Board
intends to present each case to Con.
gress after the court has handed dowr
its award.
Chairman Lasker said no could moi
predict the amount for which the claims
could be settled. as twas impossible t.
negotiate compromises until money wa:
available to make settlements. A bis
saving could be effected. however, II
the claims could be settled by com

COTTON MARKET
LOSES EARLY GAIN
General List Closes Off 22 to
so Points-January Weak
and Down to 1903.

An early bulge Of 10 to 90 points in
yesterdays quiet cotton market at
tracted considerable Wall Street and
outside selling. which resulted In loss
OF its gain and carried 1t some 22 TO
so points under Mondays closing. The
forenoon advance was due largely to
the Census Bureaus ginning report. re-
garded as slightly bullish, as It showed
only about $1,000 bales of cotton ginned
In tho period December 13. 1921. to
January I. 1922. against expectations
Of between $4,000 and l2o,0ov bales.
The small ginning returns and the
subsequent bulge permitted many ner-
vous longs to sell out their holdings.
which slowly but surely carried the
market under last nights close. In the
opinion OF most prominent people In
the trade few thousand bales more
or less would make little or no differ
ence IN the ultimate crop situation
Some traders thought that yesterday 6
figures showed plainly that the De-
partment Of Agriculture's last report
had overestimated the cotton crop o!
1s2l-l922 by some 100000 bales. Fu-
ture ginning reports must be seen. how
ever, before any such ideas can be &C
cepted as fact.
IAverpool's early steadiness was fol-
lowed by a reaction that was received
with enthusiasm by local bears. Part
Of the local bearish sentiment that de-
veloped after tho ginning figures were
announced undoubtedly was caused by
reports Of bank pressure In the South
TO wipe out stale accounts to start the
new season with a clean slate. More OF
that kind of sentiment resulted from
reports that there had been consider
able cancellation Of freight room and
that dry goods business was not keep

week.

No Change in Gray Goods.

Fairly active trading started in at tho
crening OF yesterdays local gray goods
market. but the activity lessened afte-
reports from the cotton market that It's
prices were dropping. The market
closed with little or no trading in evi-
dence. but prices were generally firm at
Mondays closing quotations. Print
cloths OF e4-60s and 6s-72s were asked
at s& ard sA cents respectively, but
buyers apparently were unwilling tc
commit themselves at those prices. There
was no feature in the speciality linee.
The buriap market had another dull
cay. A fair number OF Inquiries wero
reported on odd widths. but the number
OF actual sales transacted was neglible.
Reports from Calcutta stated that the
market there was quiet. with prices TN

novel Merchandising Method.

A unique method OF merchandising is
being used successfully by a local furni-
ture dealer. His scheme is to cut down
overhead expenses by engaging a small
store for display OF sample OF all his
products. He carries no stock for direct
purchases. The would-be purchaser Sc
lects the furniture desired from the
samples displayed and the order is Gent
by the dealer direct to the factory. which
sends the article direct to the pur-
chaser's home. In most instances the
consumer is saved anywhere from Is to
IS per cent. OF the retail price. A dig
advantage OF that kind OF merchandise
ing Is the extra tirne required for de-
livery.
