were little distorted.

but in those moments of violence and
terror 1t is not surprising that an acsu.
rate knowledge of details could not be
gained.
The only points in which the account
varied from the facts were the firing
of guns by the police and the clubbing
of Morris Davis by the police.
That report made the police to appear
as a murderous bunch. bouncing down
npon pea eeful citltizens with clubs ADD

Il were better for the people that
this were the true story, for it migat
have helped the agitators in their pro-
paganda against oppression"
The opposite proved to be true The
people were rioting madly. They beat the
unarmed Director of Police, brske the
head of the acting Director Of Police.
and the other two policemen. also got
their share while they obeyed orders and
did not discharge gun.

TRADING HOLDS

General business activity in
Canada has been maintained at
a steady level despite the uncer-
tain crop prospects of the prairie
provinces and Ontario and con-
tinued unsettled conditions in
some important foreign markets,
states S. H. Logan, general man
ager of the Canadian Bank of
Commerce. He said, in part:
"In making this statement
we do not disregard official and
private reports Of a recent
SIackening, partly seasonal, in
certain major industries, but
we have taken into account the
operation Of numerous plants,
individually small but collec-
lively important, whose prOduc-
ton Is not included in official
records.
"The operations of these
plants have assumed such i'm
portance that they should now
be considered in conjunction
with those of the so-caIled key
industries, not only because
they are relatively more nu-
merouS than in the predepres-
sion period, but also because
they have brOadened consider
ably as the business revival
spread from these basic export
industries, metal mining, news
print manufacture and lumber
ing, to mills and factories de-
pendent largely upon the do
meStic market.
"The activity in this group

Struction and transportation, in
cresaed sufficiently in April and
May to offset q slight decline
in . few other branches Of in
dustry, such as steel and tex

BUSINESS RISE
SEEN IN FALL

In it's weekly summary Of the
general business situation, the
Standard Statistics Company, OF
New York, currently comments as
follows:
Recession in business activity
and in prices of finished goods
have become more general dur.
ing the past week. As estimated
for May, the Standard Statistics
Company index Of industrial pro-
duction has been placed at 1852,
compared with 1873 for April
and 1913 for March. At present,
however, it appears unlikely
that the summer decline, after
allowing for the seasonal factor,
will be more than 10 per cent
from the recent peak.
"Steel production has con-
tinued to run counter to the
general trnd, primarily because
Of rush orders for stock pur-
poses. Although the earnings

price reductions on less ex-
pensive automobiles fOreShadOw
sharp competition in this group.
Crude oil production and stocks
of motor fuel, ON the other hand,
have continued to decline, plaC-
ing the industry in y stronger
position. Electric power output
has shown sharp seasonal de-
clines in recent weeks, although
still holding above 1888.
"MOst prevailing uncertainties
appear Of . relatively temporary
nature, and resumption Of the
uptrend Of general business Is
still in prospect for the autumn"
With the settlement of several
strikes, the survey says,
the crest Of labor disturbances ap-
pears to have been reached for the
time being, although full solution
Of the policy differences between
capital and labor has by no means
been achieved. In the Middle
western drought areas, conditions
have been slightly improved by
scattered rains, and prospects for
the late staple crops would be
measurably increased by more
rain. In any event, Government
aid will prevent a serious reduc-
ton in farm purchasing power.

COTTON PRICES
MOVE LOWER

NEW YORK, June IL O.N.SO.
The cotton market continued un.
settled today as further rains
were indicated for dry areas of
the cotton belt, with futures ad-
ding to Mondays decline Of so
cents.
Trading, although moderately
active, was below that Of yester-
day. Selling, particularly from
wire firms and the South, was in
lighter volume, while the demand
for contracts was considerably
curtailed.
Buying was limited to price
fixing orders for domestic mills
and scattered purchases by spot
firms. The market again was hard
put to absorb liquidation of July
options for first notice day, with
a good portion of these offerings
being taken by spot houses. Local
traders sold in a small way.
The New York Cotton Exchange
Service today estimated the
amount of cotton consumed by
domestic mills in May at $500
bales, against the Census Bureau
figures of $4,000 consumed in
April and 621,000 in May, 1888.
Noon prices were off to 4
points, with July off 4 at 1894,
October off 3 at 1918, and De-
cember off 4 and 1929.
