EXPLAINS ECONOMIC
INSTITUTE PROGRAM
DR.. Harold G.. Moulton Addresses
Library Association
Here.

Work of the Institute of Economics
in making q study OF the economic
problems in the United States and
other countries was described by DR..
Harold q. Moulton, director of the
institute. in an address before the
District of Columbia Library Asso-
citation in the Grace Dodge Hotel last
night.
Touching upon the agricultural
situation in this country. he said that
the institute had found by research
that Il return to prewar demands for
American agricultural products in
foreign markets was unlikely. This
being the case. he said. some other
means of relief for the farmers in
this country has to be determined.
The gap between the price paid the
farmer for his products and the price
paid by the consumer, he explained,
is great.
The big problem in this country.
then, is what can be done to bring
about temporary relief in the agri-
cultural situation" he said. He de-
plored the fact that we have not the
financial machinery to make long
term loans to the farmer in order to
help him over a period of from two
to five years. The extending of loans
Tor several years duration, he said,
would greatly aid in relieving the
present crisis
During a business session the as
sociation indorsed the Stalker bill,
now in the House, which authorizes a
reduction in postage on library books.
This reduction, il was stated, would
enable more good library books to be
placed before the farmer and through
out rural districts.
Fluctuations were extended Her
bert Putnam of the Library of Con-
gresS upon the completion of his
twenty-five years of service
A brief address on the work of max
ing lists of the books contained in
the various Libraries was made by ].
T. Gerould, librarian at Princeton
University. Miss Josephine A. Rath-
bone, vice director of the Pratt Insti-
tute School of Library Science, and a
number of her students were guests
of the association. Miles o. Price.
president of the association, presided.

DECLARES AMERICANS
SHOULD ADMIRE BRAZIL

Since Americans admire that which
is big, they should be keenly inter
ested in Brazil, according to DIR.
Mitchell Carroll, who spoke last night
before members of the National Geo.
graphic Society at the Masonic Tenn
pie. Brazil is bigger than the Unit ed
States without Alaska, he reminded
his hearers, and is, in fact, the fourth
largest country in the world, being
surpassed only by Canada, Russia
and China
DR.. Carroll declared that three of
the seven natural wonders of the
world are to be properly credited
to Brazil, the Amazon, the Iguazu
Falls and the harbor of Rio de
Ja.niero. Remarkable illustrations of
the latter were shown, bringing out
the intense beauty of the combina-
ton of sea, islands, peaks and the
level spaces over which the city has
grown.
Other views showed features of
Para once the world great rubber
port; Bahia, whence came the seed
less oranges that now represent a
great industry in California: Sac
Paulo, city of coffee niillionaires, and

resort near Rio, which is the sum-

COFFEE FUTURES'

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Continuation of the recent buying movement sent the market for coffee futures 35 to 65 points higher at the opening today, De- cember selling up to k1c and March to 20.5oc, the highest prices touched on the local exchange since June, 1919. De mand tapered off at these figures and there was sufficient realizing to cause reactions of 30 to 50 points with March selling off to 2O.05c. That delivery closed at 2o.25c, the general market showing net advances of 25 to 40 points. Sales were estimated at s0,000. Closing quotations: December, 20.65c; March, 20.25c; May, 1s.75c; July, 1s.2sc; Septem-

REALIZING HALTS
 COTTON ADVANCE
January Rises 50 Points To 24.OO, Then Loses
 Gains

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-A further ad- vance in the cotton market was checked by realizing today and after selling up to Pic, or 50 points net higher. January just about lost the gain, closing at 2355c. The general market closed barely steady, net points higher to points lower.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 8 points to an advance of points. Some realizing was absorbed on slight recessions owing to the steadiness Of Liverpool cables and reports of further trade buying, and the market soon firmed up. Buying was less active than yesterday but offerings were compara- lively light and prices worked steadily upward at midday until December sold at 23.8Sc and March at 24.25c, or about 40 to 50 points net higher and into new high ground for the present movement
 At these prices the market showed an advance of about 175 to 1S0 points from the low level of last Saturday, and the extent of the advance evidently en- couraged talk of a reaction. At any rate, realizing became more active. while there also appeared to be a little more southern selling late in the afternoon and prices eased back to about yes- terday's closing quotations.
 The midday advance was accompanied by rumors that large cotton exporters were buying spots at firm Dasis m the southwest and buying was probably encouraged by expectations of continued large exports during the balance of this month and the first of November. Some traders, however, anticipated a falling off in spot demand after October en- agreements are completed and this may have been responsible for some of the late selling, although the feature most generally mentioned in connection with the reaction was the rapidity of the recent advance.

WHEAF SUFFERS
 PRICE SETBACK
Demand Later Proves In- adequate To Absorb
 Offerings

CHICAGO, Oct. 2s-Wheat under went a material setback in price today after an early advance. Demand which at first had been active, was inadequate to absorb the offerings later, despite estimates that new export business to- tailed 1,5ooooo to 100000 bushels. The wheat market finished weat Sc to EXC net lower, December, $1.42A @1.42h and May, $1.47t t@1.47% with corn at hc to 1c advance; oats hc to Ac off and pro- visions varying from 25c decline to a rise of ZIG. =
 Dwindling of speculative demand for wheat became apparent chiefly during the last hour of the board of trade ses- sion. Buying on the part of houses with seaboard connections was of suffi- cient volume earlier to give the market an upward tendency good share of the time, and it was said that conti- mental Europe was purchasing on q good cable, both for nearby and de- ferred shipment. When, however, that fact grew evident that for at least the time being a sustained demand was missing the market quickly receded.
 Unloading of early purchases was q notable feature of the late trading in wheat. An increase of 10,7 900 bushels in the worlds available supply was re- ported, putting the total S,000,000 bushels in excess of the total supply year ago. Crop advices from, Argentina, Aus tralia and India were construed as somewhat less bullish than of late. Besides domestic receipts remained heavy and for the first time this sea- son the arrivals Of wheat at Winnipeg showed an increase as compared with 1923.
 Corn owed It's strength mainly to widespread poor returns from huslxing and to price upturns in foreign mar kets.- Oats were relatively easy on ac- count of the large available supply.
 In, the provision market the effect of lower prices in hogs was counter-bal- anced by the ascent of corn.

NEW oRLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2s.-The cotton market after advancing 52. to 54 points during the morning on overnight buying orders resulting from yesterdays sharp upturn and due to a broader demand for contracts as a result of favorable European news, large exports and ex- pectations that tomorrow's weekly weather and crop summary will prove bullish, lost practically all the gain during the afternoon. The reaction was due partly to the general impression that the damage that might have been done by the frost has been fully dis counted.
 As Liverpool was just shade lower than due at the time of the opening here first trades showed losses of to points, but the market rallied right after the call and continued to advance during the greater part of the morning until 1t showed gains over the previous close of 52 to 54 points.
 In the late trading prices slumped badly under the pressure of profit talk ing and liquidation. The near months utes of the session but the more dis tant months closed at the lowest. The close showed net gains of points on December and on January and net losses of 5 to points on the later months.
 The large exports proved one or the main stimulating features of the day. They reached 74,924 bales and the ex- ports for the week so far totaled 136, 460 bales.
 The strength or the near month Is thought to mean that considerable cot ton will be rendered in due course in the local market on December con- tracts. Local certificated stock has in- creased to 10000 bales and is expected fa aIJ
