Freight Rates Do
Not Effect Prices
Paid Cotton Producers

Washington, Nov. 1.-(AP)-Prices
paid to cotton producers are almost
unaffected by freight rates. the bureau
Of railway economies, which is main
tanned here by the carriers, declared
today in the form Of an analytical
statement.
Quality and grade cotton with fuc-
tuations in demand, it said, cause
price variations which exceed by many
times the total of freight charges that
might be incorporated in selling prices.
Considering cotton price movements
during recent years, the bureau found
no uniformity or regional basis in the
price fluctuations.
During the seasons 1923-o4 and
1924-25." the statement said, 1.-THE
spread in prices for middling cotton
ranged from minimum Of So to q
maximum of $16.3S per 100 pounds, or
from five to 10 times the freight rate
from various producing centers in the
South to Fall River, Mass, the most
important cotton manufacturing city
in the United States and located in a
cotton manufacturing district fathest
away from the fields"

MACMILLAN TO

RUINS OF NORTH

Donald B. Macmillan, noted Arctic
explorer, in an interview granted to
representative of the Yale Daily
News, states that he has carried the
Yale flag 5000 miles on his expedi-
lions to the far north.
Discussing his recent trip, he SAYS
that he discovered the only sure
proof known of the occupation of the
Norsemen on the continent of North
America before the voyage of Col
umbus. His proof, he said, in the
discovery of the remains of a big
Morse settlement, he said. He in
tends to return and investigate this
spot.
4 am certain" he said, chat this
old ruin is the bona fide remains of
That bold people. There are many
facts and traditions which tend to
confirm the theory of early Morse
settlement.
The old tower in Newport which
was supposed to be an ancient
Morse ruin was in reality erected by
an English governor. The relics
which We're found in Minnesota and
claimed to have been evidence Of
ancient settlements, are moreover, a
modern forgery"
