erted a bullish tendency to the
market for several weeks.
Reports of increased consump,,
ton of cotton, due to improved
business conditions, have also aid,
ed the steady advance of the past
few weeks.
A bill introduced in congress by
Senator Bankhead of Alabama,
limiting the amount of cotton that
a gin may put out. has also at
tracted considerable attention IN
the markets. 1t was reported that
Senator Bankhead might amend
his bill, to provide taxation tea-
ture for excess production, as a
guarantee of reduced output.
Farmers are deriving little BEN
eft from their advances in cot
ton prices. Most of them have dis
posed of their cotton to the gov
eminent. on the several loan plans
offered them. or else they have
stored their crops away under
sheds, apparently determined not
to sell now at any price. This sit,
uation has made cotton very hard
to buy, and the basis paid in the
rural sections has reached almost
record high levels. .-

CONGRESS IS
RECEPTIVE TO
DEVALUATION
Gold Reserve Act Already
Drawn To Put New Pol
icies In Force
SOME CONSTITUTIONAL
OBJECTIONS RAISED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. (UP)
Congress appeared today certain
to write President Roosevelt's
money policies into the law of the
land.
The gold reserve act, title Of a
bill carrying out the presidents
recommendations fer taking into
the treasury all monetary gold
and revaluing the gold content Of
the dollar at point between 80
and so cents, aroused constitu-
tional dispute. but sentiment APP
peared overwhelming in support
of the measure.
Senate Republicans were called
together to discuss opposition
strategy. Their leaders. however,
had little hope of defeating the
presidents program. The most
they believed they could do would
be to force public hearings on the
bill. They foresaw a senate divi-
sion approximating the 81 to q
vote last April on the Thomas
amendment by which the presi-
dent was given authority to de-
value the dollar down to so per
cent.
Constitutional objections were
raised promptly. and answered
equally promptly after the presi-
dents newest monetary proposals
reached Capitol Hill.
