 Miller Blames Crop
 Gardiner H. Miller, president of the New York Cotton Exchange, who testified yesterday, said the low price of cotton resulted from "the law of supply and demand" and asserted the large crop here and abroad and slump in stock values all had combined to keep the price down.,
 Senators Smith and Heflin. demo- crats, however, disagreed with Mil Ter. Both said market manipula- tion had played a part in the fall Of the staple. Hefiin asserted the firm of Anderson. Clayton &I Co.,, Houston, Texas, cotton brokers, had exercised a dominating and de- pressing influence on cotton prices
 Questioned about the legislation 10 which he was referring Henican said that measures now pending before congress ranged from add tional regulation to practical abol- ton of trading on the exchanges
 Tt Is within the range of truth to say that they are a disturbing i1 fuence on the cotton market and will continue to be until they are | finally disposed off, he said.
