Washington, Nov 25.--The federal
trade commission has completed its in
vestigation into the effect Of cotton eX-
changes, operating under existing law,
on the cotton market and prepared It's
report for submission to the senate.
The investigation was made under al
thority OF a resolution introduced last
March by Senator n. B. Dial Of South
Carolina.
From unofficial sources, it is under
stood that the report will show that
in the opinion OF the commission, the
present law, which permits an en-
change to deliver to purchasers any
one Of ten tendcrable grades, gives the
exchanges an unfair advantage over
purchasers, allows tho exchanges tt

Americans were rather inclined to
take the disarmament conference in
Washington as a final affair. That is,
many of them believed that when the

and instrumental lines a constant delight.
Strings of pearls-Grieg was man of
nervous. sensitive temperament. quick
and ardent in feeling. and the music he
composed reflected his personality and it
is of value just because it is the artistic
expression of delicate personal feeling.
While he was passionately devoted to the
works of the German Schumann and the
Polish Chopin, he stroye to build up a
national music based upon the folk songs
of Norway. But his music is never
large or heroic: ii follows closely his own
delicate, gentle. and modest nature. One
of the most striking characteristics of
his music is the shOrtness of his phrases
and his manner of repeating them almost
literally. These phrases are polished like
gems, while the melodies charm US with
their perfect proportions.
