 S,1"nrrr Irruiry Continues
 Not since President Wilson as at.trl in 1913 that lobbyists were so th;ok in Washington that one can't throw brick without hit ting one" started q senate commit tee on an investigation of outside rrcegure then beirg brought against the Underwood tariff bill. has such . sweeping in"uiry into lobbying been undertaken.
 While the lobbying committee laid the foundation for its investt- eatinn by setting the starting date and issr'"g subpo"nas for the first witness to be called. the committee irquirinF into Shcarer's activities at the 1927 Geneva naval conference prepared also to push It's work. Members were called into confer cnce today by Chairman Shortridge and next week will resume their hearings with first emphasis laid on the source of the alleged British document presented by Shearer pur- porting to show that existence Of q gigantic espionage system in this country, it also plans to inquire further into the relations between Shoarcr and his shipbuider em- ploycs.
 This inquiry was recessed on the eye of it's probing into so-callel British activity in this country be- cause of the visit of Prime Minister Macdonald.
 Peace Societies on Carpet
 Charged with general survey Of the situation, the lobby commit fee also is to delve into naval as- fairs, announcement having been made that peace societies and oth- CTS advocating reduced armament as well as "b!g navy" proponents would be summoned.
 The inquiry will get under way however, fired by the same furor that set off the 1913 investigations

Southern cotton men Of wide experience
believe that the most serious problem
in front of the cotton planter is the
British Spinners' strike, although they
are confident that the labor government
will take the shutdown more seriously
than If the Conservatives had remained
in power. Increased domestic consurlp-
ton and increased spindles in the
Orient will offset some Of the British
exports If trouble continues there.

TREND IRREGULAR
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Recent Favorites Continue
UpWard-UtiIities, Mines
and Specialties Rise.
BY HARRY H. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 2.-Irregularity
prevailed in the issues traded in on the
Curb Exchange today, but the market
was not subject TO such wide varia-
tions in trends as the Stock Exchange.
The trading exeL.plified the truth of
the old maxim that nothing succeeds
like success. Stocks which have been
on the upSwing continued their courses
and traders scra lbled TO get aboard
like office seekers after band wagon,
meanwhile tossing overheard their COM
mitments in less active issues. This
policy was, perhaps, aided by the fact
that money dropped to 10 per cent, al
though money as factor in the mar
ket has ceased to have dominant
meaning.
Utilities Are Active.
There was renewed activity in the
utilities. the mining stocks and a num-
Der of the industrial specialties.
Nevada California Edison had an ad-
vance of 5 points. from 64$l to 6934,
moving with some of the other Far

influenced largely by big receipts here
threatening possibility Of railroad en-
barge on grain shipments to Chicago
Much talk was also current that the
enormous movement of new Winter
wheat to market centers will cause at
least a temporary general glut. An
embarrassing factor was that the heavy
carry-over of old wheat from last years
crop is, to large extent. limiting the
amount of storage room available.
Under such circumstances many own
