NEW YORK, October 17.-The out
standing feature in the curb market
today was the strength displayed by
most of the oils in face of the heavy
slashing of quotations on gasoline.
That there had been no further
liquidation was sufficiently notable,
but it was still more remarkable that
the occasion should have been ad-
judged fitting for a moderate re-
sumption here and there of opera
tions for the rise. Such operations
appeared in Wilcox OH and Gas, which
rose from As to above 5 on large
transactions.
They also appeared in the similarly
low-priced Gulf States OIL and Re

LIVERPOOL OBJECTS TO GIVING UP CONTROL OVER COTTON GRADES
Will Only Yield To American Standards After A
 Struggle
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HEKALD Wasbfugf0u n q Iupa 1R |

While France has accepted Ameri- can cotton standards as provided in legislation enacted by Congress the last session 1t is made plain to this bureau today by Hugh l.. Roxburgh, one of the British delegates, confer ring with the Secretary of Agricul- ture, that strenuous objection may be registered by the cotton ex- changes of Liverpool and Man chester.
 If England finally agrees, he inti- mated, 1t will be because England cannot help herself. Its grades are not identical with American grades but the differences are so well un- 0erstood that American shippers know what Liverpool customers want and Liverpool customers know what they will receive.
 The principal English objection it Is pointed out is based on the fact Il at where as now in event differ ences Liverpool appoints the board of arbitration, in the future differ ences will be adjusted by the Ameri- can Secretary of Agriculture. Liver pool, it is intimated, will not yield without a struggle it's control of the cotton market which control was ob- tained as result of the fact that it is and has been always the greatest importer of American cotton.
 In the arbitration with English and French cotton experts the Secre- tary of Agriculture was assisted by the important cotton exchange oper- ators in the United States. l. Well of Montgomery represented Ala bama.

FARMERS TO BENEFIT
 BY GRAIN CONFERENCE.
Samuel Gompers To Be Central
 Figure In Farmer-Labor Meet

WASHINGTON, June 16--Samuel Gompers. who will be a central fig ure at next weeks farmer labor con- ference at Chicago, predicted Satur- day that considerable benefit may accrue to wheat farmers from the wheat conference" scheduled to pre- cede the political barley. =.
 Those who handle wheat but do not raise it have no difficulty in making money out of wheat" he said. Perhaps such a conference as that now proposed may find a way by which more satisfactory results will accrue to those who raise the wheat.
 Tt is at any rate a good sign when any productive group comes to- gether to study it's situation and its needs"
 Gompers attitude in advance of the farmer labor confab is being close ly watched. in view of his well known aversion to labor party, which he maintains would inevitably drift into the control of professional politicians, and rob labor of its po- litical potency.
 Equally under observation at the conference will be Senator Royal s. Copeland of New York, who has an nounced that he will be present Taggart democrats are understood to be grooming the former Manhattan physician as candidate for the vice presidency on the ticket with Sena- tor Ralston in 1924.
 Copelands mission at the confer ence, politicians believe. is to dem- onstrate to the middle west that he is in full sympathy with the prob lems of the farmer.

MACMILLAN TELLS $ sWHAT THEARCUC
 IS REALLY LIKE

Before the deXarture in 1908 of the Peary expedition, of which pr. Donald M. MacMillan was a mem Der. the explorers were given a packet of letters by learned society. They were letters of in- troduction to the people of the North Pole.
 Even scientists have been far astray in their conception of the Artic. In the accompanying in- terview Dr. MacMillan gives a picture which the average man or woman would doubt If 1t did not como from an authority. He tells also of his plans for research on his approaching trip in an S9-foot schooner. including the use of radio for the first time on such an expedition a use which will settle the question whether the radio can be used beyond the aurora.
 Asked what exploration has ad- ded to human knowledge. Dr. Mac Milan tells. aside from highly technical matters, of an abundance of flowers, of animal herds, of cish life more plentiful than that Of the tropics. r,
 He says:
 "One surprise after another awaits1 the Artic explorer. Even at the edge of the Polar Sea every valley Is d rushing river In July. Flowers 'are sprinkied on every sunny slope The botanist reports more than 700 varieties beyound the Artic circle.
 Birds by the million fly to within 400 miles of the pole to build their nests. We find great herds of musk -oxen even in the darkness of the winter night"
 Time was when Greenland's present hills were at the bottom of the sea. There are coal seams 30 feet thick, holding 600 kinds of fossil plants-among them, the fig and the magnolia. Five times has the ice cap covered North America. The glaciers are ad- vancing once more-have been for seventy years. Is another ice age under way? That is one of the points pr. MacMillan and his specialist companions will study, during the months they are locked in the ice. .s 2,
