HUGE Squirt CITED
AT COTTON PLANTS
Mill Activity Nears Record,
With Federal Program
Stimulating Hopes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
| NEW ORLEANS, August 1o.-Mill
activity in the cotton industry was de-
scribed as nearing record with Gov
eminent effort stimulating an opti-
mistic sentiment, in the annual report
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
today.
The report declared this condition
was much in contrast with low ebb &C
tivity and pessimistic feeling at the
start of last season. It was prepared by
Henry G.. Hester, secretary emeritus of
the exchange, and Henry Plauche, Sec
rotary.
The commercial crop, including seed
and totaling 15,083,0 900 bales of cotton
marketed during the past season, was
valued at 1896 .389.751, as compared
with s548,896,533 the previous season,
the report said.
Grades Slightly Lower.
The average price of lint cotton last
season was Sos cents a pound, as COM
pared with an average price the pre-
ceding season of $50 cents a pound
THE crop was not quite up to last
year in grade" said the report, aver
aging about 10 points better than mid
ding, with fairly good to good staple
and a minimum Of high and low
grades.
The season for the most part has
been one of uncertainty and dissatis-
faction with a CLEAN of hopefulness
during the latter months by reason OF
governmental efforts to better the sit
uation. These have helped the market
and aided in obtoipir innrnved sales
and increased activity in marketing and
consumption.
I'VE are still left with an excessive
carryover, which the Government IS
laudably endeavoring to reduce by the
unusual effort of partial cancellation
Of acreage for the coming season. The
result of the experiment Is said to be
problematical, but it is meeting with
hearty accord from the trade"
Trend Is Reversed.
1.-THE story of American mills Is en-
couragng," the report went on. AT
last years closing conditions were at as
| low ebb almost as had been witnessed
in the annals of the industry, and while
there was an underlying feeling that
any change must be for the better,
there was a preponderating sentiment
of uncertainty. This has been grad
ually changed until at present condi-
tons are just the opposite. -
From August to March, inclusive.
there was moderate change for the
better, while from April on the i'm
provement was such that most mills
worked to full capacity. operating night
and day shifts, consuming, as stated by
| leading authority, more per day,
South and North, than ever before"

BRITISH WILL
AVOID DEFAULT
United Press Informed Cabinet
Favors Partial Or Whole Pay
ment Of Sum Due.
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, June 13. tU.I)-Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, in his war debt speech be-
fore the house of commons, will an
nounce that the cabinet has de-
cided upon at least partial pay
ment of the 79,95O,000 war debt an
nuity due Thursday to the United
States, the United Press learned
from well-informed British and
American sources today.
Whether the payment would rep
resent approximately 10 per cent
of the sum due, as acknowledgment
of the debt, or a full payment in
silver, was still guarded secret.
But contrary to all other reports
the United Press was assured the
cabinet had decided against default,
This development was made
known shortly after the British
government dispatched an urgent
debt note to Washington with in
structions that it be delivered to the
state department Immediately. The
message was believed to contain
the British decision on the debt,
reached after two special meetings
of the cabinet had been held within
nine hours.
The second cabinet meeting to-
day was called to put finishing
touches to the note to the United
States, tentatively drafted at a
hastily convened meeting at mid
night. Ramsay Macdonald, prime
minister, called the first meeting
after receiving communication be-
lieved to have come from Washing
ton, and between the first and Sec

ENVOY TALKS
UPON DEBTS

WASHINGTON, June 13. iU.H --
Sir Ronald Lindsay, British ambas-
sador, called upon acting Secretary
of State Phillips today to discuss
the debt situation.
Phillips declined to comment on
the nature of his condensation
with Sir Ronald but it was defi-
nitely learned that the ambassador
had presented no formal note.
A definite proposal was under
stood to have been made verbally
but the nature of this could not
be learned.
While it has been generally un-
6erstood here that the British
would propose part payment OF
approximately 10 per cent OF the
amount due, Phillips would not con-
firm that this was the nature OF
the informal proposal put forward.
1t was emphasized at the state de-
partment that all debt negotiations
are centered at the White House.
Administration officials were re-
luctant to discuss the matter, es-
pecially in view of the imminent
adjournment of congress.
