PACKERS MERGER
CALLED SERIOUS
BLOW TO TRADE
Secretary Wallace Going To
Chicago To Fight Con-
Solidation

CHICAGO. June 1S.=Chicago hear
ings on Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace's complaint against the
Armour Morris packing merger be-
gan today with charges by President
Edward c. Adams of the Chicago
Live Stock Trades exchange, that the
purchase of the Morris interests by
Armour would eliminate eompeti-
ton, restrict prices and be tre-
mendous advantage to the big
packers.
The merger would be serious
handicap to the market through its
elimination of competition, according
to Adams.
"The more buyers on the market,
the better for the producers" Adams
said, expressing his belief that W al
lace's complaint was absolutely JUS
titled"
I'm purchasing Morris G. Co. ;"
Adams said, under the exami-
nation of Walter l.. Fisher, former
secretary of the interior, Armour
got rid of one of it's principal com
petitors in the buying of live stock.
This UNNECESSARILY increased the
chances of price manipulation. Prices
undoubtedly are based on eompeti-
tive buying"
Chicago buying fixes prices paid
for live stock all over the country,
Adams pointed out.

NEW LIQUIDATION
BRINGS BREAK OF
MORE THAN CENT

NEW YORK, June 1S.-There was
a break of over a cent pound in the
cotton market here today under re-
newal of near month liquidation
which appeared to be precipitated by
weak Liverpool cables, improving
crop account and the unsettled ruling
of stocks and foreign rates. July
sold off to 1851 cents, or lis points
net lower, making new low ground
for the movement, while there was an
even greater break In the price OF
August, an Inactive month. which
declined to 1925 cents or 200 points
below the more or less nominal
quotation of Saturday. The break IN
new crop breaks was less severe, but
they were very unsettled and OCTOBER
sold off to "a cents or 101 points net
lower. Last prices were at the low
est of the day, with the market easy
at net decline of IS to 200 points.
The market stood at a decline OF
20 to 43 points owing to the poor
cable reports of good weather over
the weekend, and Liverpool advices
attributing the selling there to an
unfavorable view of European imam
cial conditions and prospects for con-
tinued mill curtailment in Manches-
ter during July and August. There
was good deal of covering on the
opening decline, but the demand was

was a lull in the liquidation move
ment around the 27-cent level for
July, but offerings appeared extreme
ly weak and unsettled during the aft
ernoon under heavy general selling.
Wall street was a particularly active
seller on the decline, which uncovered
stop orders, and the market was un-

a great part of the days selling was
attributed to Wall street and COM
mission house liquidation which was
supposed to be largely the result of
weakness in the stock market.
Houses with western connections
were also heavy sellers. and may
have been influenced by the weakness

unfortunate failure of Knauth, Mac

be that this was because the actual

no secret that the collapse in the
price of marks is largely responsible
for it's failure, although it's immedi-

The war, which disrupted German

placed on the famous British black

there was no German business. After
the war German connections were
revived, and the firm was active in
