New York Cotton
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August 12-An early
advance in cotton on covering and
active near month buying was followed
by renewed weakness today with prices
making new low ground for the move
ment under further liquidation and
scattered selling.
December contracts after selling up
to $50 On the early demand broke to
951 and closed at that figure with the
general market closing easy at net de-
clines of 9 to IT points.
Initial prices were 8 points up to
6 points lower The heavy buying OF
near months continued after the call,
and the general list steadied up during
the first few minutes, with active
months showing net advances of about
l8 to 10 points Later. the market
turned easier. following the weakness
in grain. Closing prices showed re-
actions of about "a to 80 points from
the early high levels and December at
o5l showed reaction of 73 points
from the high price touched on the
rally of last Wednesday.
The active early buying of near
months puzzled local traders, and the
opinion was expressed in some quarters
that it might have come from one or
another of the agricultural readjust-
ment agencies and be connected with
operations in seed loan cotton or cot
ton option contracts.
The amount of cotton reported on
Shipboard awaiting clearance at the end
OF the week was estimated at SO, ,161
bales, against 81. 400 last year.

CODE FEARS UPSET
PRICES FOR GRAIN
Reviving Confidence Gives Way to
Fresh Alarm Despite Bullish
Crop Reports.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, August 12-Uncertainty
over the operation and terms Of a ma
tional grain exchange code is just now
doing much to turn Board of Trade
business topsy-turvy.
To a great extent buyers confidence,
which had been gradually returning,
appears to have given away to unrea-
soning fear, substituting price losses
for advances. Largely because Of un-
expected developments indicating that
a code tentatively agreed upon was ur-
acceptable to Washington officials, the
average trader has been left breathless
and bewildered. Notwithstanding Off
cial confirmation of the most extern
sive crop losses in generation, wheat
this morning compared with a week
ago. was 2ssa2S cents lower, corn
5sa11a down, oats 1a1 g off and provi-
sions varying from IS cents decline to
rise of II cents.
Prominent grain men say that ma
ture has been working hand in hand
with the Washington administration
recovery program, and so great Is the
crop loss this season that even with
liberal supplies of wheat and corn car
ried over from last year the markets,
given a free hand, would naturally re-
spond without any artificial aid. Ma
neuverings, however, in connection
with the grain trade code, have sud-
denly restricted purchase activities
here, and inspired extreme caution.

TRACTION MERGER
DETAILS EXPECTED
WITHIN SHORT Time
CONTINUED From Second Page.)

$11, 1,643,000 But with the change in
the entire situation since those days
it is now believed in well informed cir
cles that the percentage Of the con-
solidated Is which will be transferred
to the merger will be much smaller
than in 1926. It has even been re-
ported in apparently reliable financial
quarters that the new car company
might take over only about 100000
of these.
Should this prove a reliable predic-
ton the bonded debt of the new mer-
ger, including the outstanding bonds
Of the old subsidiaries, would line up
about as follows:
Anacos. & Pot. r. r. r. 1st 5s. S2.451 900

Washington r. q E. cons. As. 5000, 900
Capital Traction Co. 1st 5s.... 5,536.OOO
Total .$13,117,O00
This is speculative, but believed to be
an indication of the direction in which
the terms of the agreement turn. The
maturity dates are all substantially in
the future. which, would be to the ad
vantage Of the new company. 1t
would not be faced with the early
necessity Of refunding.

"Wiles gave motive for the slaying
in duplicating Rushton," Sheriff

the investigation far enough yet to

Rushton, 49-year-old married man
and father Of two children, was taken

In the matter of removal proceed
iEgs, the number attempted under
the LANCER administration stands out
as record. Beginning with the capt.
tel commission removal, which re-
suited in resignation of the commits
sion several months before q new law
would have legislated it out of exis-
tence, custer proceedings were freq
uent. Attempts were made to re-
move three members of the Burleigh
county board Of commissioners, whose
suspension and subsequent reinstate-
ment was ordered by the governor
A removal action was begun against
ney, and he, too, was held to be en-
titled to continue in office. There
followed removal proceedings against
the Stark and Bowman county boards

in these cases still pending. The last
proceeding, instituted by the COVER
nor himself, is against r. E. Wenzel,

Just been completed.

however, were transmitted through the
mails and filed. Later, In q speech
at Kindred, Gov. LANCER said that
had he not declared martial law, !

priation act would have been effected
and the department crippled.
Leader Brings Criticism
Probably few governors have been
subject to such vigorous attacks as
resulted when the governor established
the Leader" as the administration
newspaper he deemed necessary to-
chronicle the events OF hts admin
istration. Statements came from en-
ployes, some discharged, that they
were compelled to contribute five per
cent Of their years salary to support
the newspaper. while the administra-
ton answered their attacks by point
ing to the fact that employees were
given subscriptions to sell for the
amount contributed and In this man
ner could recover their donations.
But the cross-fire Of the political
battle showed up best in the sales tax
campaign into which the governor
threw himself with vigor and enthu-
siasm. He stumped the state, declar-
ing that the two per cent sales tax
law, enacted by the legislature at his
behest and then referred to vote,
was necessary to save many North
Dakota schools from closing. The law
was defeated and down with it went
the 1888 legislative act which would
have given the governor authority to
remove workmen's compensation bu-
reau commissioners without cause, q
law aimed chiefly at displacing r. e.
Wenzel from the position he had
held for II years. Defeated also was
the law changing the administration
Of insolvent banks. Defeat Of these
three laws, enacted by an admins
tration-controlled legislature, was In
terpreted by the governors opponents
as a rebuke to the administration.
Proclamations. which the governor
said were aimed at alleyiating many
difficulties besetting the farmers
frequently were forthcoming from
the executive offices. Besides the
embargo proclamations, there were
those declaring q moratorium on
mortgage foreclosures, and orders 70
halt dispossession Of homes and per
sonal property where inability to pay
