COTTON SLUMP
IS LAID To
BIC CROP
BY IntsrnAaIOual News Service

BY international News Service
General economic depression
not manipulation on the cotton
exchange, was responsible for the
low prices Of cotton this fan, {
Gardner H. Miller. president Of
the New York Cotton Exchange,
told a Senate cotton investigating
committee yesterday.
Appearing before the subcom.s 2
mittee Of the Senate Agricultural !.
Committee, named to look into
charges Of manipulation ON the
exchange, he said q large world
production, particularly in for
eign cottonS, was primarily ro
sponsible, for the recent decline in
prices.
Charges that certain cotton i'm
tereStS - specifically, the Clayton
and Anderson cotton brokr =age
firm, of Houston, Tex.-haVe been
instrumental in manipulating the ;
cotton market were made by
members Of the Senate suhcoml
mittee.
They repeatedly attempted but
failed to get Miller to admit he
knew Of such a dominating influ-
ence."
Another factor, he said, was the
fact that the domestic crop was
marketed rapidly and at . time
when the spinning industry was
depressed.
Miller denied that activities Of :
the cotton exchanges were IN any
degree responsible for the low
level at which cotton has sold In
recent months. He said the price
level Of cotton this fall was true
reflection of supply and demand
conditions in the world cotton
trade. He claimed:
There is an unmiStakabIe
tendency in the United States
to ignore or forget the greatly -
increased production Of cotton
by foreign countries and the
greatly increased competitive
influence exerted by foreign
cOttons In the determination
of the price Of the American
Gotten.
"The total production Of
foreign cotton increased from
9,703,OOO bales i'm the 1926-27
season to 1O,356,O0O bales In
the 1928-29 season while the
preliminary estimate for the
1929-3O season is 11,2OO, 600
bales" :
