NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, June 5.--The
cotton market opened rather better
tfan .Xpe cted first trades showing
gains of % points on July and eight
to ten points on new crop positions.
After a further rally of II to 10
points on new crops with October
trading up to 1926 and December to
24.95. prices eased off on lower
cables than due and good weather
reports to 25.07 for October and
:4.S1 for December but still re-
tanned a small net gain over the
previous close and ruled steady while
waiting for the weather map to be
posted.
The market eased off making
new lows on the posting of the
weather map showing no. rain to
speak of in the belt and temporal
lures much warmer. October traded
down to 2505 and December 24.SO
or to within five points of the prev1-
GUS close. A little later the market
rallied sharply to an official fore
cast for showery weather and
cooler in the western half Of the
belt, all active months adcanvlng to
new highs with July $500; October,
Z0.oS anu DeCSIllDSL Ao.I1S VI @o' W
and 38 points, respectively, above
the previous close. Prices eased OH
near mid-session and on renewal OF
liquidation. July made new low
at 1882 but new crop months were
better sustained.
Weaknesses in the July position
due to rather free liquidation of that
month by longs was responsible for
the further decline to new lowI levels
for the day in all months in the
early afternoon. July traded down
to 2S.1S or 80 points down from the
early high and 81 points net lower
compared with the previous close.
October dropped to 24.S0 and Decem-
Der, 246O or 81 to So points down
from the early highs but only % to
20 under yesterdays close. The weak
ness in the July position was at
tfibuted to fears of improvement in
crop prospects due to better weather

SHANGHAI, June 4.-(By the AS

get.1cr with the commander and his
mechanician. Major Frederick Mar.

was divided today and once again
it was the flag plane which was the
laggard.
Major Martin experienced consid-
cradle difficulty at several stages OF
the trip north from California, be-
ing forced down by engine trouble
on the first days flight and suffer
ing a number of mishaps which frs:
put him far behind the other fliers
and then eliminated in the wreck
OF his plane against a mountain in
Alaska.
Last Monday the plane Chicago"
which succeeded the Seattle in flag
honorS, experienced engine trouble
on the flight from Kushimoto south
to Kagoshina, Japan, which result
ed in a forced landing. Today the
installed at Kasumigaura while the
fllers stopped for a few days at that
Japanese naval aviation base-was
unable to raise the machine from
the waters of Kagoshima harbor.
The other two planes went on
without it. The expectation here is
that the Chicago, with Lieutenant
Lowell II. Smith, now commander of
the flight, and his mechanician,
Lieutenant Leslie p. Arnold. will
make the 500-mile jump across the
China sea to this port tomorrow if
the weather permits, and the engine
can be reduced to g. more tractable
condition by that time.

GRAIN

CHICAGO Thursday), June s.
| Wheat received good support today
and despite the bearishness of the
news the tone of the market was
firm most of the time. Overnight
longs sold wheat at the start be-
cause of the showery weather over
the Northwest. This caused quite a
dip in prices. Commission houses
bought and turned the trend up
ward awain. Locals persisted in 60
ing out of wheat bought yesterday
and another break resulted. Again
commission house buying developed
and this, together with the strength
in Minneapolis and Winnipeg, gave
the market sufficient stimulus to
recover the early decline. A little
profit taking caused the advance to
halt. The Northwest is in need of
more moisture but recent showers
will at least afford temporary re-
lief. A better inquiry was reported
for wheat from exporters, but mills
continue to take hold sparingly.
Primary receipts continue to run
smaller than last year.
Corn followed the trend of wheat.
Trade was not large. Locals were
bearish owing to the improved
weather for the crop, but as usual
support was sufficient to absorb the
offerings. Cash corn was firm. Re-
ceipts are holding up well and con-
signment notices are holding up.
Shipping demand was light.
Oats led all grains in strength.
Cash oats were up 1-4@12 cent in
premium and this gave spectators
the necessary encourag cement. Ship
ping sales were moderate as ship
pers are afraid of being unable to
replace the oats sale and therefore
are limiting their offers.
Provisions were lower. Liquida-
ton on the decline in hogs was a de-
pressing factor.
Wheat closed So to 1 cent lower.
Buying power gave out when the
local longs attempted to take profits

B. & o. BIRTHDAY

The Oldest railroad in the United
States, the Baltimore & Ohio, is max
ing plans to celebrate its Tooth birth
day.
The original charter for the Bal
timore and Ohio was granted on
March 13, 1927. 1t was written in
longhand and is now on exhibition in
a comparatively good state of pres
ervation in the company's headquar-
ters in Baltimore.
BY authority of the Legislature of
Maryland, Governor Ritchie will APP
point large committee to make
plans for the greatest birthday party
ever given any railroad in the history
of the world. 1t is expected that or
ganized labor will have a part in the
affair as the Baltimore and Ohio in
dustrial policy is making a strong
appeal to the workers.

LaFo|lette Mixes Things Up
Considerably

the useless conflict between the two
old parties.
If both Coolidge and Davis insist
on running to the end, neither Of them
will be the next President. La Fol
lette, too, may lack the necessary
votes. But who, then, will the next
President be? Wall Street does not
know. That is disconcerting.
England unexpectedly got a Labor
government. Unexpectedly Poincare
met defeat. Is it absolutely certain
that/a third party cannot force man
of its choice into the White House?
Democrats and Republicans are un-
usually silent and meditative.
Prudently considering every poss-
ible eventuality, the hackers of Cool
with the defeat of both their men.
However, the defeat of Coolidge and
Davis would not necessarily amount
to complete disaster. 1t is always
possible to limit the executive pow
ers of an unwelcome President by fill
ing the seats of Congress with a safe
majority of reliable legislators. If
the White House, therefore, remains
in doubt, it is up to the old party lead
ers to keep the House and the Senate
under Republican and Democratic
control.
However, it will be the ambition Of
La Toilette and the labor forces to
meet Republicans and Democrats on
their own ground. They would soon
er control the Congress than occupy
the White House. Therefore, says
the manifesto of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, "We shall analyze
the records and attitude of every as
pirant to public office, and shall give
our findings the widest possible pub
licity. Labor's enemies and friends
must be clearly known and be defin-
itely Indicated" "To stand faithfully
by our friends and elect them, and to
oppose our enemies and to defeat
them," is the aim of the Federation.
1t is the aim of the Federation's enc
mics, too. The resulting contest
promises to become unusually inter
esting.

Help to Farmers
Highly Overrated

Washington-The department of
agriculture states that the esti-
mate of a billion-dollar increase to
farmers, because of advanced
prices, is exaggerated.
"It is possible that American
wheat growers will get from $780,
100000 to $200,0O0,000 more for
their wheat this year than last,
assuming. that they sell over $780,
100000 bushels" the department
states.
''This is considerably less than
$1,0O0,000,000 increase estimated
in some quarters, but bespeaks an
increased ability to pay off debts
and general improvement in fl
nancial conditions in the wheat
country"
The department states that the
"corn situation is by no means
good" This will affect live stock
prices.
New York-Wall street has re-
vised it's estimate Of 81, 1,000,000,0O0
profit for farmers, since the de-
partment of agriculture states that
the figure will range between
$100,000,00O and $20O,0OO,OOO.

FAIRY TALES
BIG CAMPAIGN FAKE FREELY Y
CIRCULATED
prosperity" Stories Put Out by the
Associated Press Proven False
u. S. Government Reports

Washington - Whether Coolidge
and reaction shall march back to pow
er over a highway built of lies, is the
issue raised by discovery that the
"billion-dollar prosperity of the west
ern wheat farmer" is myth.
The first big campaign fake, circu
lated by the Associated Press and ac-
cepted by the tory press as gospel, is
officially discredited by no less au-
thority than the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
What are the facts as to this "pros-
perity," which the Associated Press
announced was making many farmers
wealthy, and was adding over a bill
lion dollars to the assets of the wheat
farmers and corn growers?
at is possible" says Secretary
Wallace's statement, "that American
wheat growers will get from $780,
100000 to $200,000,000 more for their
wheat this year than last, assuming
that they sell something over 500,
100000 bushels. This is considerably
less than the $1,000,000,000 increase
estimated in some quarters, but be-
speaks an increased ability to pay off
debts and general improvement in
financial conditions in the wheat
country.
con the other hand, the corn situa-
tion is by no means good. Stands are
extremely spotted, many fields full of
weeds, and much of the crop is so far
behind that it will need something
approaching a frostless fall to ma
ture. Corn is a feed crop and high
prices add mainly to the cost of live
stock production"
After showing that expensive corn
this fall will presumably force stock
men to continue to sell their breed
ing animals, and that hogs and high
grade cattle will be higher in price
next year, the reveiw admits that "the
south is considered to be going
through critical days now," although
cotton may bring in more money than
in 1923.
1t winds up with this statement
"The index of purchasing power of
farm products is slowly rising, NOV
ing up to 79 in June (relative to the
year 1913 taken as 1907 or 1879 high
er than any other June in four years"
So the billion-dollar wheat prosper
ity and the billion dollar farmer
opulence which has been touted by
Brisbane, the Curtis Publishing Co.
and the A. P. comes down to 1917
recovery from extreme deflation, and
to warnings that the cost of feed for
hogs and cattle is going up. Most of
the voters in the states whose pri-
mary elections take place before the
middle of August will not know that
they have been victimized by colos-
sal lie.

THE HOT POKER
CAL GRABBED HOLD OF THE
WRONG END
National Defense Day" Propaganda,
Like TwO-Edged Sword, is a Hard
Proposition to Handle

Mobilization Day''-or National
Defense Day." as President Coolidge
insists on rechIistening it-promises
to become a leading issue in the pres
idential campaign.
The militarists are responsible.
Secretary of War John w. Weeks and
General Amos Fries, chief of the
chemical warfare service, are the lads
who "sold" Mobilization Day to Cool
idge.
Now the President is beginning to
appreciate that he has grabbed the
business end of a red hot poker, but
he can't let go. He is in so deep he
must go through
Fries, a man Of extremely limited
talents, specializes in the manufac-
ture of poison gas and is proud of it.
He is at his best when he is describ-
ing how in the "next war"-which he
is sure can not be avoided-non- COM
batants, old men, women and little
children, will be wiped out by the
devilish gases which he is producing
in government laboratories.
He can not understand how normal
human beings recoil in horror from
the loathsome business. In his opin-
ion, all such are "pacifists"-danger-
Gus radicals" in league with Moscow.
1t was Fries who was responsible
for the vicious pamphlets issued by

Mobilization Day was planned as
the Waterloo of the enemies of mill
tarlsm The country was to be flood
