COTTON FUTURES

Cotton future prices were little
changed at any time in yesterdays fes-
tureless and quiet session. The market
was slightly depressed in the first hour
by increased week end liquidation on
the part OF professional interests and
offerings from Liverpool and the South
but was quick to recover from all dips
with scattered short covering and q
little new demand from spot houses
The market was net unchanged to
points lower at the finish of the day.
There was, nothing in the way OF a new
factor to influence the list, so prices
drifted Idly under dull evening up opera
tlons.
with the initial call the market was
3 10 IL points lower. and directly after
ward December, which was relatively
easy. dropped 1s points under Fridays
finals TO 24.g0 cents. Sentiment as
whole was still rather mixed and there
was a strong disposition to await new
developments. The proximity OF the
two Government reports on ginning and
size OF the crop tended TO restrict the
volume Of new business. The firrnness
of securities prices proved OF some senti-
mental bullish value.
Weekly statistics were mostly
ignored. The weeks total exports

Rail- Merger Denied.

Advlces from Cleveland yesterday
quoted o. p. Van sweringen, chairman
Of the board of the Nickel Plate. as
denying the truth of published report
that Nickel Plate, Clover Leaf and the
Lake Erie and Western had completed
plans for consolidation under one
operating management. Bankers here
included in their arguments against the
probability OF the merger the fact that
Walter L. Ross is under a five year con-
tract as operating head of Glover Leaf !;
that Glover Leafs outstanding securl-
ties are s20,000.000 in excess of the
valuation assigned by the commission,
and that since neither Nickel Plate nor
Lake Erie and Western has az yet been
assigned a value by the commission
there is no immediate possibility OF
ascertaining whether tho value OF these
two carriers is sufficiently in excess OF
their outstanding securities to counter
balance the Glover Leafs discrepancy.
Such a merger as has been mentioned
is believed unlikely for some time.

MICHIGAN MAN
OF FLAX PLANTS

Announcement that Arthur De-
Mitt of Port Huron, Michigan, has
been hired as plant manager to
fill the vacancy left by the resig-
nation of Robert Crawford of the
Willamette Valley Flax & Hemp
Growers association, was made
following a meeting of the board
of directors this morning.
Mr.. DeMitt will have charge of
the Turner plant of the associa-
tion and was recommended to the
board of directors through the
United States agricultural depart
ment by officials of the fibre di-
vision. He is a native of Belgium
and spent a large amount Of time
in the flax districts of that coun-
try.
The continued dry weather has
done considerable damage to the
flax crop this year and will result
in a large part being made into
tow.
This condition, however, has
not discourage growers, according
to George w. Eyre, president or
the association, who said that
many had determined to increase
their acreage in 1928.
