NEW COTTON CROP
RETURN FORECAST
Exchange Experts Expect
Present Yield to Net About
1880, 600, 900.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE ques-
ton of how much of the cotton crop re-
naming unsold will be carried over into
the next season and the amount of
acreage In the 1929 crop are the domi-
nant factors today in the price of the
great staple product.
So far the money yield from the 1928
crop has been anything but satisfactory
in many cotton growing districts. In
bring its producers $4,000, 900 to SIS.
100000 less than that of 1927. accord
ing to one Of the outstanding experts of
the industry today.
The 1927 crop of 12,7s3,o00 bales
brought in 81 ,440,514,000, according to
Secretary Hester of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange. The 1928 crop. about
1.400,000 bales larger. cannot equal that
figure unless the prices for the unsold
portion advance materially. Usually a
decreasing supply and a shrinking sur
but for the last crop there has been a
decreaoe in supply and at the same time
a decline in price.
Only these deeply verSed in the cot
ton trade can estimate what part psy-
chology and sentiment have played in
overseeing the normal reaction The
1928 crop yielded 14,173,0 900 bales. and
surplus Is estimated at only 100000
bales, which is 100000 less than a
year ago and 100000 less than two
years ago. The average price has been
1877 cents pound less than for the
1927 crop
Consumers anticipated huge crop,
owing to the increase in paintings Of
from 40, 1876, 900 to 46.s43, 600 acres. The
buyers could not get 1t through their
heads that there would be small crop,
which should produce high prices. and
the very weight Of that sentiment held
prices down.
Now, however, the influence of that
sentiment Is over and the market will
become subject to sentiment as to the
amount of cotton which will be carried
over into the next season and the
amount Of acreage planted In the next
Spring. There is every reason, experts
say, to believe that exports will be very
heavy this year. The Manchester. Eng
land. trade is staging comeback, de-
spite the means emanating from that
section regarding poor business. Man
chester, domestic cotton men say, is
good deal like the foot ball coach who
always weeps over his prospects before
q game. no matter how certain he is of
winning.

NEW YORK, January 17.-Judging
from statements that have been issued
from time to time by the arrangements
of Canadian corporations whose stocks
have caught the speculative public's
fancy, there Is a closer cooperation be-
tween Canadian industrial managers
and Canadian bankers than obtains be-
tween similar groups in the United
States.
Canadian banks have for months
taken the attitude that they could not
afford to permit their credit supplies
that such divergence would injure
either the industrial or the agricul-
tural development Of the dominion.
Repeatedly they have shut down hard
on those who were inclined TO borrow
too heavily for stock market operations,
and there has been a disposition among
the heads of Canadian corporations TO
reply frankly to stock jobbing ruflors
as they were issued. This has led to
unfortunate results for, that part of the
public which Is gullibie and takes It's
rumors minus the precautionary grain
Of salt"
One of the first to refute a report
that was being made use OF in order
10 nelp along MARKET mOVeLHcut was
the president Of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, who died some months ago,
who denied some months ago that his
road intended to segregate its invest
ment holdings and declare stock div
idend. Then came the brutal but frank
statement from the head Of the Ca
madam Marconi Co. that earnings on
its stock did not entitle 1t to valua-
ton over So share. although at the
moment 1t was selling eight times
higher.
The International Nickel people have
been careful to squelch statements as
to what they propose to do. and es-
pecially as to the earnings from some
of their recently acquired companies.
These have not, however. had much
effect in checking the rise In their
stock.
Now comes the very unusual and
detailed statement from the vice presi-
dent of the Ford Co. of Canada, which
has nipped' in the bud another Of the
typical professional campaigns In a
stock whose name has been SUFFICIENT to

BUSINESS SLUMP SEEN
IN WAKE OF MONEY RATE
Nv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 17-Alvan T.
Simonds Of Fitchburg, Mass, predicted
a slump In business throughout the Ma
ton, beginning the end Of this year
and to continue throughout 1890. Mr..
Simonds. who is president Of the Simonds
Saw & Steel Co.. told the twenty-fifth
annual convention here of the National
Boot g. Shoe Manufacturers Associa-
ton that high money rates would cause
the slump. It Is probable the shoe
business will be affected, he added, and
consequently boot and shoe manufac-
turerS should beware Of expansion at
the present time.
The manufacturers were urged by
John T. Edgerton, president Of the as
sociation, TO Join with the National As
ISOLATION OF Manufacturers to combat
hostile legislation. Ninety per cent of
the legislation before legislative bodies
affects manufacturers In some way, he
asserted. and much Of it Is aimed d.
rectly at them and is hostile to their
interests.

pany's expanding business, particularly
in connection with its systems for con-
trolling traffic signals and grade-cross-
ings protection.
1t seems paradoxical that the Miller
induction train-control device, which is
being used successfully to automatically
stop a railway train in case the engine
man disregards a danger signal, Is
equally efficient In providing means TO
the motorist. without any action on his
part, to control traffic signals and
eliminate the annoying and unnecessary
delays caused by the usual cyclic
changes of the ordinary signal light.
William du Pont of Wilmington, Del,
the executive and financial head of the
Miller company, took an active part in
the reorganization plans.
For several years the company's stock
has been very widely held in Washing
ton and vicinity.

have been completed.
The Weirton Co. also operates plants
at Steubenville, Ohio, and at Clarks-
burg w. Va, and upon completion Of

An expansion program which, 1t Is said,

The program calls for the erection

adjoin the present plant of the steel
