workers than a simultaneous acute
economic crisis. It is the developing
unemployment and slowing up of
trade and the accelerated pace of
economic disruption in the agricul-
tural districts that are driving the
city and country workers to political
unity. The men at the helm of the
government in Washington, do not
feel sure of themselves. They do not
know whether they will be able to
ward off serious halt in production
before the end of the year. This is
the real motive for their redoubled
efforts to win over some of the so
called farm leaders like Frazier and
Ladd. On this basis we may also
look forward to some half-hearted
remedial measures being considered
by Congress in behalf of a small sec
ton of the working class that is the
highly skilled layer of the masses.
AS matter Of fact, the present flood
of immigration legislation arises from
the plan Of the reactionary Republi-
cans to utilize the fraudulent cry of
the protection of American labor as
one of their main campaign slogans.
In this fashion the big capitalists hope
to sow dissension in the ranks of the
industrial workers and prevent effec-
tive political cooperation between the
farmers and the workers.
Trouble Impends
Whether the employing class can
muster sufficient strength to delay
a general economic depression for the
whole year is questionable. At this
date no one can definitely answer this
problem. But there are sufficient
fundamental facts and data at hand
indicating that the capitalists are
confronted by an almost hopeless
task.
The conditions in Europe are show
ing no signs Of improvement for
American business. Our exports for
the last fiscal year are less than those
Of the preceding year. Our farmers
are meeting with more serious COM
petition in the world market than
they have ever faced since the declara-
ton of the war. At home, agricul-
ture is falling behind in the develop
ment of more efficient productive
methods. Our efficiency and skill in
industrial production and the develop
ment of improved machinery in man
ufacturing, are outstripping the i'm
provement in agricultural production
at an ever increasing pace.
Under these conditions our capt.
talists can at best only hope to delay
for a short period the serious econ
omic troubles that are impending for
the country. These economic troubles
are pregnant with fundamental poll
teal changes. The employers realize
this and they are working overtime
preparing to meet the crisis.

NEW LOW LEVEL
 HIT BY COTTON
Sharp Opening Advance Is SIet By Renewal Of Liquidation.
 2 Forcing Drop

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.--A sharp, open. ing advance met renewal of liqufda- tion in the. cotton market today and
 was followed by a break into new low ground for the movement. May oon- tracts, which sold at 82.15 at the open ing, or 130 points above the low price of Friday, broke to 80.48 in the late trading, making decline of 17 points and a net loss of 102 points. May closed at 30.50, with the general market closing easy at net ideclines of 70. to 100 points on old crop months, and of 25 to 37> points on tho later deliveries.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 43 to 60 points on unexpectedly strong Liverpool cables, covering by re- cent sellers and buying by houses with Liverpool connections, accompanied by British dockers' strike was anticipated. For a time the market show'ed consid- erable firmness, but there was enough selling to check the advance at the ini- tial prices and the market became weak and unsettled later in the day when sentiment was evidently Influenced by weakness in the stock market, increas- ing apprehensions that the oil scandal would react unfavorably- on general cOnIlueuCo anu roiteretcu reports or ln- creasing domestic mill curtailment. Early buyers for rally liquidated on the decline and stop orders were uncov- cred on the break which carried March contracts off from S1.7o, the high point of the morning, to 30.06, and July from s0.so to 29.50. These prices represented net losses of 80 to 104 points and car ried the market we'll below the lowest level touched on the decline of last week. Ne wcrop months were relative ly' quiet and steady during the entire day and may have found some support in reports that wet weather has caused another check in farm work. The tone of the general market, however, was. ex- nervous and unsettled during the afternoon, and closing prices were within 4 to 10 points of the lowest. Port receipts today, 12,25o bales; U. S. port stocks, SS5, ,546; exports, 2,079, mak- Ing 4,176,4s2 bales so far this season.

GRAIN SELLERS
 BECOME HOLDER
Prices Turn Lower At Start As Result Of Stock Market
 Weakness

CHICAGO, Feb. Is.--cra.n prices showed downward tendency today, largely as result of New York, stocls market weakness which appeared to in timidate buyers here and made sellers become bolder. Wheat closed unset tied, three-fourths to cent net lower; May. $10eK @11o, ana July, ,$1.0sS@ . shade to Y. In provisions, the out come was unchanged to cents down. Setbaci<s in wheat values began within . few minutes after the open ing. and continued throughout the day except for occasional slight rallies. Persistent selling and inadequate buy ing support characterized the trade un- til the end. Selling came chiefly from commission houses and pit speculators, and although of only. moderate volume, proved to be more of . weight than the market could sustain without yield ing to considerable extent. This was especially the case after announcesnent that all the plants of Chicago flour milling concern had shut down for an flour buying.
 Increased receipts of wheat 1t pri- mary points acted as more than an off. set for decrease in the visible sup. ply total. f-i4 .s
 Meanwhile. world shipments of whsa. were heavy and, q decided enlargement of the amount of wheat on ocean pa1- sage together with growing seriousness of the British dock strike counted as a further handicap for wheat bulls. On the other hand, talk about impaired prospects of winter wheat and about expected reduction of spring. wheat acreage failed to stimulate demand.
 Liberal arrivals of corn here, nearly 300 cars, had . depressing effect on the corn market, and on oats as we'll. Be- sides total receipts of corn at primary points were more than double the amount a year ago. 5I
 Provisions sagged in response to . de- cline in hog values. -.

NEW YORK FUTURES
NEW ORLEANs COTTON


 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1S.-The cot ton market for a good opening on fav- orable Liverpool advices, which carried the old crop months up 51 to 61 points, compared with the closing of Saturday, developed a decidedly weak tone in the middle of the morning and prices con- tinued to decline practically to the close of the old crop months, receding 12s to 156 points from the early high to a level 71 to 100 points net lower con- pared with Saturdays close, the final figures showing net losses for the day of 68 to 95 points on the active old crop deliveries and AS points on the active new crop month of October.
 The course of Liverpool was consid- cred highly stimulating at the start as that market not only was higher than due but continued firm. This course of Liverpool coupled with rath- CT unfavorable conditions in the west ern belt over Sunday caused the market to open at a good advance and March soon traded up to 31.s6c and May to 31.43c and July to 30.50c or practically $3 bale above the closing levels of Saturday.
 well as more or less short selling which caused prices to ease up. As the ses- sion advanced the selling by profess sionals and ring traders increased. Prices increased rapidly until they were stimulated by reports from Washington that sensational developments were i'm pending in connection with the oil scan dal.
 Another bearish influence was a gov- ernment mid-monthly report giving a rather favorable view of crop prepara- tions in the west. There was also pes- simistic views from the cotton goods trade and report that the biggest mill in the country had again made cuts in the price of its output.
 There was rather sharp rally in the afternoon on covering by shorts, but it did not hold, and the market closed near the low points of the day with the near months much the weakest
