WEATHER REPORT
DISTURBS COTTON
Favorable Statement Causes
Steady Sagging Off, Near
ing New Levels.

NEW YORK. June 21.-The de-
partment Of Agriculture said that
the heat was killing the weevil.
ang generally. too. the weekly
weather report was very favorable.
Consequently. the market sold orr
IL to 25 points early, rallied above
last nights close. sagged off again
10 near the low levels, but was very
steady on the break.
What some regard as panicky
buying on the part of English spin
ners created a sentiment distinctly
In favor OF cotton prices. From
1900 to $4,000 bales are purchased
daily in the Liverpool market. The
demand for goods has kept up Won
derfully. 1t is understood that
conversation took place with
prominent southern statistical au-
thority and he conceded with the
belief of the interviewer that there
would be about $4,000 bales or
cotton carried over August 1. This
amount Is, perhaps. fully 1000 900
bales under the general expecta-
lions of the trade.
Uppermost in the minds of the
cotton trade today was what the
July government report would show.
An improvement Is expected. The
ten year average up to 1921 is 7SS
per cent and the average loss from
August to October is IA per cent.
The weather map today showed
rains over the extreme southern
states east Of the river. West OF
the river there was only some rain
In the extreme south The fore
cast was regarded as favorable but
private advices summarizing the
situation in South Carolina claim
that there is absolutely no chance
oS a full crop of cotton this year.
and that II the season continues
wet there will be practically no
crop raised 1t is these bullish ex-
pressions by cotton factors that has
carried prices through the 23c level
in the southern spot markets
These spot markets are selling
much above a parity with the New
York futures market. For instance
In Savannah, cotton sold at 22.sr
yesterday. while New York jury
ruled at about the same price. TINS
allowed no spread for delivery and
other expenses.

secretary. are in New York city arrang-
ing to open branch office in the Gus
tom House. This office will be devoted
10 the study of imports in detail, as pro-
vided for by the tariff law A large
staff of technical experts will be-main-
tained in the New York office.
The institution of this office and the
increase in the Washington staff au-
thorized by the Fordney- -McCumber law
are awaiting a Congressional appropria-
ton of S250,O00 for the remainder of the
fiscal year. 1t is likely the money will
be made available within week or
two.
The commission takes the position that
to reveal the character Of the pplica-
tions for revision would disturb business
needlessly. The rule adopted is that
when an investigation is decided upon
that will be announced.
Some Of the applications ask for In
creases in rates, others for decreases. in
every instance the purpose being to pro-
vide a tariff rate equal to the difference
in the cost of production at home and
abroad. The assumption that the ma
jority OF applications are for reductions
Is neither denied nor confirmed by the
commission.
Ihe demand Tor information concern
ing applications is from firms and asso-
Citations directly interested in any change
of rates. They take the position. and
the commission sees some merit in the
stand, that those who file applications
for a rate change have an advantage
They know what Is going on and are
in a better position to prepare for an in

mission is promising. however. to give
adequate notice of an investigation, sc
everybody concerned may prepare.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Dec 29.-Charles NJ
Schwab, in an address tonight before
the Pennsylvania State Education Asso-
citation, said the average morale Of the
average American citizep--the working
class-was higher than that of the so
called higher citizens" of the country.
IT am prouder of the friendship OF
those who worked with me In my humble
beginning" added Mr.. Schwab, than of
the adulations of the highest in the
world"
The fundamental principles Of educa-
ton, Mr.. Schwab said. were democracy
and integrity.
"If | had a SON." he said. II would
see that he would receive the highest
education in the United States. Such a
type cannot be gained in universities and
colleges where class distinction and snob-
bishness are often too prevalent although
such institutions may give him SUI
premacy in technical things. The ideal
education, to my mind. comes to the boy
in the great public schools
