TOO MUCH COTTON
HELD MARKET HURT
Merchant Tells Subcommittee
Causes for Present De-
pressed Mart Conditions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Temporary oversupply Of cotton and
increased foreign competition were as
signed yesterday by w. l.. Clayton,
Houston Tex cotton merchant, as the
causes of the present depressed mar
ket in testimony before a Senate agri-
culture subcommittee investigating the
situation.
Hardly had Clayton finished the read
ing of a long, prepared statement, in
which he was frequently interrupted by
questions, than the subcommittee took
a recess until tomorrow, with indica-
tons that the Texas man then would
be given a severe cross-examination.
Charges Not Discussed.
His firm, Anderson, Clayton 81 Co,
has been charged by Senator Hefin
Democrat, of Alabama, member of the
subcommittee, with eXerting an "over-
shadoWing influence" on the cotton
markets, and the Alabaman said he in
tends to find out all that Clayton can
tell about the allegations The charges
were not discussed yesterday.
Among the conditions which he said
caused an "exceSs of supply" over de-
Tnand, Clayton cited a rapid dumping
of cotton on the market, hand to-
mouth" buying by spinners and a gen.
eral decline in commodity prices.
The decline in prices, he said, was
,'due to the recent recession of which
the stock market crash was both a re-
suit and then a contributing cause"
Should Get % Cents.
Questioned by Chairman Townsend,
Clayton maintained that Hedging" had
played no part in the decline which has
brought the market down to about II
cents a pound. He added that If the
cotton farmer was to maintain a pre-
war standard of living. he should re-
ceive at least % cents a pound for his
crop.
Defending spectators, the witness
said they perform their greatest serv-
ice" in years of surplus by carrying
over the extra supply. He estimated
that on December 1st the spectators
were carrying through purchase of fu-
tilres 100000 to 100000 bales of
American cotton
Without the exchanges" he said,
''tl1e spectators could not have per-
formed this function, since they rarely
ever buy actual cotton"
