j. s. AID SOUGHT
IN COTTON SUIT

The State Department will use
it's influence to urge group of
German spinnerS to abide by the
contracts they entered with New
York and Galveston brokers for
100000 worth of cotton, it was
learned today.
Senator Connally CD Texas,
who asked the department to
protest to the German authori-
ties, said the spinners contracted
for the cotton in 1925-26 with
Nussbaum and Lighter for future
delivery, and the transaction was
made through the New York
Stock Exchange.
The Germans repudiated their
contracts, because Of the spectacu-
lar fall in cotton prices, and
their action was upheld by the
German courts. The jurists de-
cided the spinners acted within
their rights because the New York
exchange constituted a gambling
operation.
If Frederic M. Sackett, United
States Ambassador to Germany,
is unable to have the contracts
enforced, Connally said the mat
ter probably would be brought be-
fore the London Cotton Ex-
change, or some other neutral
organization for decision.

SMALL DEMAND
HOLDS.COTTON
PRICE, EDOWN
Huge Carryover of Present
Supply and Possibilities Of
Crop Being Big Hurt Outlook
By LEWIS HANEY,
Director New York University Bureau
Of business Research and Former
Economist Of Federal Trade
Copuu,iaaiOu

Commission.
The cotton situation is interest
ing, both in itself and as repre-,
senting a good many other raw
materials. The outstanding facts
are briefly as follows:
/. The world supply, including
this seasons crop and the carry.
over from last season, is extraor,
dinarily large (well over 20
million bales of American cotton)
Supply In Storage
2. An unusually large part of
this supply is in public storage.
More than 100000 bales are in
warehouses and congresses. This
means greater pressure on the
market.
3. The supply available for
the balance of the season is in.
creaSing sharply. That means a
big 'carryover for next season.
4. The immediate pressure on
the market is being relieved by
the Government. This introduces
great uncertainty and makes
traders hesitate to deal in cotton
(as in wheat). What will the
Government do with the stuff?
Demand Is Very Small
( The demand for cotton is
abnormally small. There is a
severe worldwide depression in
cotton textiles. Exports of cotton
for the season are running be-
hind a year ago. Domestic mill
consumption of cotton is very
low.
Situation Made Worse
6. The whole situation has
been made much worse by the
action of the Farm Board. By
keeping American cotton higher
than other cotton they have
encouraged the substitution of
foreign growths by foreign mills,
This hurts our exports both of
raw cotton and textiles.
There does not seem to be
much hope for relief on the
supply side for another year. Say
the new cotton crop is cut as
much as 20 per cent. That would
make about ia million bales
against l4.2 million last year,
But we will have a carry over
of about 100000 bales. That
makes a total American supply
just about as large as last year.
Demand Is Sub-NOrmaI
The only hope here (and in
similar caSes) is on the demand
side. At present the demand for
cotton is Sub-normal. Uncertainty
as to prices and the depressed
condition of business have unduly
curtailed buying. This is why
cotton sells around 10c. There is
good reason to believe that even
with the present big supply the
price would be at least 13c if the
demand were only normal.
Just as soon as commodity
prices get fairly stable and gen.
eral business shows signs of i'm
provement, the demand for cot
ton will quickly pick up to nor
NAL. Then the price will snap
back to over 13c.
Farm Board May Help
I hope this will come by mid
year. How soon depends on crop
reduction, Farm Board policies,
restoration of stable conditions in
the Orient, and the promptneSs
with which business men get CON-
modify prices readjusted and sta
bilized at the coming new low
level.

farm in Illinois in 1871, still
maintains the hobby which he
started as a farmer boy.
Every year he goes afield in
search of game and the bag

of his excellence as a hunter.
Friends also claim he is a good

The last third OF the baseball seas

came along with one-hit games.
Cards Held Down.
Guy Eush Of the Chicago Cubs
held the league leading st. Louis
Cardinals to a single blow. a scratch
single by George Watkins, while
Vincent Barton, ChicagO's rookie
outfielder won the game for him by
clouting a home run his fifth in a
week. Paul DerTinger, succumbing
TO the ink OF a pre- game gift, lost
a real hard luck game. He gave the
Cubs only three hits in eight inn
ings and famed nine only to lose
the I TO 0 decision on Barton's clout.
Dick Coffman Of the st. Louis
Browns pitched the other one-hit
game yesterday, beating the Chica-
go White Sox by a / to 0 count in
the second game Of a double head
er. The only hit off Coffman, who
gave one wa and hit one batsman.
was a roller over second by Kerr.
Bob Weiland. recently recalled from
Louisville, opposed him in the close
duel. Pat Caraway. lean left hand
er, held the Browns to five hits TO
beat Walter Stewart 4 TO 2 in the
opener.
The various low-hit games had
little effect on the league stand
ings. The triumphant Cubs finish
ed eight games behind the Cardinals
and still a point behind the New

innings before he eased up and gave
ten blows.
