COTTON YARN MARKET
SHOWS A FALLING OFF
Spinners, However, Have Orders
to Last Them Well Into the
First Of Year, Report Says.


First Of Year, Report Says.
By the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTE, n. c., December 10.
The cotton yarn market has shown
considerable falling of due to the
approaching holiday season, says the
weekly bulletin of the Southern Yarn
Shippers Association, issued here to-
day.
"Spinners, however, says the re-
port, have orders to last them well
into the first of the year and are not
seeking business at the present level
of prices"
THE Government crop estimate of
December Of 1S,61S,O00 bales was
about as expected, although numerous
private estimates were materially In
excess of this figure" says the report.
THE nearness of the Government
crop estimate together with the ap-
preaching holidays has had a gen.
orally depressing effect on trade.
Buyers feel confident of being able
to supply their needs at satisfactory
figures and show no interest in plac-
ing orders in advance of their require
ments. The approach of the holidays
and inventory period are in a measure
responsible for the present lack Of de-
mand.
"Spinners have orders to last them
we'll into the first of the year and are
not seeking business at the present
level of prices. 1t Is expected now
that the size of the crop has definitely
been determined and prices have be-
come stabilized that trading will be-
come more active.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
BALTIMORE, December 10.-Thirty
thousand bushels of oysters have been
taken from the Cedar Point reserved
area since the area was opened Mon
day, according to reports received by
the State conservation commissioner.
The oysters are in excellent con-
dition and buyers from Baltimore,
Washington and Crisfield are paying
$1.4O a bushel net at Solomons Island.
The buyers pay the State a speciai
tax Of 10 cents a bushel.
Indications are that the area Will
continue to yield sufficient oysters to
justify the conservation department
in allowing dredging to continue for
at least two weeks. 1t was said. The
older captains declare the Cedar Point
area has shown the best results Of
planting of shells ever seen on the
Chesapeake and Is expected to yield
the dredgers at least 100000.

GOOD WAGES
BY International News service


PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 12.--
No industry should exist in America
that docs not reward its earners
with a wage sufficient to maintain
the American standard of living, !"
Secretary of Labor James j. Davis
declared today in an address at the
fifty-first annual convention Of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Tin and Steel Workers
1.-The American worker is so will
ing and trained to work and earn
that only poor management or
short-sightedness in the office can
stand in the way of good wage,
he said. Taking the American
worker as he is, the management
that cannot pay him what he Is
worth is not management good
enough for this country
Davis declared the three essen
tials TO prosperity and wages were
stable government, the lowest
possible taxation and the fullest
possible use OF labor and time-sag y
ing machinery.
Referring to the great Homestead
strike of three decades ago Davis
said that today such contest was
unthinkable.
To-day when any great body of
men feel moved TO protest wages or
working conditions in the form OF a
strike, the difference is more like
referring some great case at law
to the supreme court of the Ameri-
can people, he said. Twenty-Five
years ago a strike meant battle.
Today it is like law suit
He contrasted the Homestead
strike with the strike of $4,000 an
thracite miners last year when not
life was lost nor a drop of blood
spilled"
