EEW YORK, December 3-The
cotton market opened steady today
at an advance of points to a de-
cline of points. Orders were fairly
well divided at the start with some
buying on relatively steady cables,
but prices broke during the first few
minutes under renewed liquidation
and southern hedge selling promoted
by favorable weekly weather re-
view and continued talk of increased
crop estimates.
January sold off to 22.S5, or 90
points net lower, but Liverpool was a
good buyer here presumably to undo
straddles on the advance in sterling

with active positions showing net
losses of about to 8 points at the

NEW YORK, December 3.--An-

Treasury of an offering of long-term
bonds on a per cent basis, the first
iong-term bond offering since Oc-
tober, 1922, brought about selling Of
the old Government issues especially
the Treasury 4As OF 1947-52, in to-
days bond market.
This calling represented a readjust-
ment of the yields on the old Govern
ment issues to that offered by the
new bonds. Under heavy sales the
Treasury AS dropped below 105,
compared with their high of 1917
just before election. The decline,
however, would have to go much
farther to reach a per cent basis.
That yield would be afforded around

an agreement with the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America since

net profits Of $s37,899, three times
as large as any previous year.
No concern in Chicago fought
labor more bitterly than this concern

agreement early in May, 1919, 1T the
conclusion of the strike. II took 9

Donald, accompanied by J. H.

Baldwin Humorous
Premier Baldwin, in his speech
against the motion of no confidence
showed himself the typical represen-
tative of British industry that he is.
He was even humorous at times as
when he said the labor party was
put in power by the votes of a pro-
gressive party. This elected cheers
from the liberals but he turned the
tables by saying, eyes, but progress
is not necessarily forward" and then
quoted figures to show the constantly
lessening liberal representation since
1906. "You only got bigger num-
bers in the last election by appeal
ing to the voters to keep the social
lists out" he said to the liberals.
Ramsay MacDonald's speech was
interpreted by the press generally as
very concialatory and direct bid
for middle-class support. He prom
ised to use many of the reforms pro-
posed by the tories and said their
failure was due largely to their vac
illating policy on the German rep
arations.
