COTTON TRADE FACES
CRISIS IN BRITAIN
Government Report Reveals Ian.
cashire's Share of World
Business Has Declined. I
BY BATES RANEY.
Associated Press Stan Writer.

MANCHESTER, England. August IL.
The Lancashire cotton industry, which
draws most of its raw material from
the Southern United States and exports
it as manufactured textiles to the Near
and Far East, is face to face with the
gravest crisis of its history.
The plight of the once vast industry
is fully revealed in government report,
drawn up after months of investigation,
which tells the industry, without mine
ing words, that it must reorganize or
get out of business.
While trade statistics show that the
world each year is using more cotton
goods than before the war, Lancashire's
share Of the trade has declined danger
ously. ~
A year ago the little cotton spinning
town of Burnley had only 1921 unen-
ployed cotton operatives. Today the flg-
ure is $4,000 The unemployed of Black
burn jumped from 7.443 last year to
$4,000 today, while the unemployed Ut
Preston increased from 1919 to 13.36S.
In 1918 the Lancashire cotton trade
sold the world 7000,000,000 yards Of
piece goods. In 1929 it sold only $780,
100000 yards and this year is selling
even less.

and just as good as Lancashire and
putting them on the market more at.
tractively. The japanese, particularly,
have almost supplanted the British in
China market and are rapidly driving
the Lancashire product even out Of
India.
In effect, the British government has
told Lancashire spinners that they must
abandon their historic ''wait-till they
come-to-us" marketing system and
adopt the American make -them-buy"
methods. Also that the surviving mills
must be equipped with up-to-date ma
chimes and grouped in amalgamations.

CHICAGO. August 12.-E. w. Sheets

PRICES ARE MIXED
IN CURB TRADING
Market Has Slightly Lower
Trend as Sales Volume

BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August l2.-While Wal
Street tried to estimate the effect OF
crop conditions on prosperity prospects
professionals today hammered a few
issues on the Curb Exchange that might
be affected and traders and public alike
paid little attention to the rest of the
list. The result was that prices drifted
slightly lower and dealings fell more
than 80 per cent below those of the
previous session.
Electric Bond g. Share was fraction
ally below its opening quotation. This
was also true of Cities Service and
some of the other standard issues such
as Pennroad Corporation, Vacuum OH,
American Cynamid B and United Gas

showed virtually no change.
Ford Motors Ltd. led all issues in the
forenoon in point of trading interest.
Opening on block of 1900 shares at
22A, off a point, it later regained part
of its early loss, reacted and rallied
again.
Mead-Johnson sold of more than 2
points despite the showing in its six
months earnings statement which set
q new high record in profits.
Buckeye Pipe Line was one of the
firSt stocks to record q new low mark
for the year. Other pipe line issues
advanced in early trading. Chesebor-
ough Manufacturing, an inactive issue,
came out at lat, of 734 points.
Store Shares moved lower along with
the food and beverage stocks. Walgreen
Drug slipped and its warrants hit a
low level. American Maize Products
was sold on the theory that its profits
would be affected by higher corn quo
tations. Orange Crush on the sale of
400 shares broke 3l2 points.
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea, which
has reported consistent sales gains this
year, again encountered a thin market
and sold off. Deere g. Co., one of the
farm implement shares, opened of "a
points.
National Screen Service headed the
downward trend in amusements and
was followed quickly by Technicolor and
Fox Theaters A.
Specialties, such as Moody's particle
pating preferred, which was up !,
Cooper BesSemer, which rose fraction
ally. and Doehler Die Casting, also up a
trtfie, showed firmneSS in the afternoon.
Aviation Credit Corporation again

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, August IL R.-Despite
official announcement of 600.0oo,00o to
TOO 100000 bushels cut in the Govern
ment forecast of corn yields, prices aver
aged lower today. RusheS to buy corn
faded away after the first hour, and the
market collapsed under the weight Of
belated offerings from traders who ap-
parently had not foreseen that the bull
ish effects of drought damage had been
largely anticipated. Wheat values were
weak throughout the day, owing good
deal to absence of export demand for
wheat from North America and to en-
larged estimates of production in Can

CHINESE LOAN SUGGESTED
AS AID TO SILVER PRICE
BY the Associated Press.

Senator Pittman of Nevada believes
silver could be restored to its normal
price of between so and 80 cents an
ounce through loan of 500,000,0 900 sill
yer dollars to China for railroad and
highway construction. This, in turn, he
believes, could be brought about through
concerted action by nations Of the world
through a treaty agreement by the
United States, England, France and Bel
GUM.
The loan, Pittman says, could be made
Immediately by the United States from
its existing silver stocks in the Treasury,
which, in turn, could be replaced by pur-
chases from new production. The loan
would be administered by commission
made up of representatives of the gov
ernments participating.
