For the whole of that month he had

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, December 24.-Tele-
phone users may find some satisfac-
ton in the knowledge that the
telephone company soon may be
compelled to supply the French
phones" in every part of the Nation
without additional cost, or at a much
lower added fee. They may also be
cheered by the information that the
monopoly" which controls most Of
the country's telephones hasn't by
any means the latest style in hand
telephone sets-and can't get them.
The newest hand-set, manufactured
by two independent concerns, has
the bell box built inside the base Of
the set.
One by one, the States in every
part Of the land have either begun
the fight to throw off the yoke of
the extra cost for hand phones or
have partly won the battle by de-
manding and receiving drastic re-
ductions in the amount the telephone
company collects for the French
phone" so termed because, shortly
after the World War, the movies
began to show scenes in Paris where
the hand-set telephone was much in
use. And then everybody went for
the fad in a big way, to such an
extent that the company which man
ufactured the desk phones doesn't
even make them any more.
New York Cuts Rate.
After a recent hearing before the
New York Public Service Commits
sion the charge for the hand-sets
was cut to IS cents. In some States
the charge has been as high as 30
cents a month.
In Illinois the State Commerce
Commission has ordered that, after
a subscriber has paid the telephone
company SO in additional charges,
at the rate of IS cents a month for
three years, the company shall not
be allowed to charge that subscriber
further for the hand-set, so long as

NEW YORK, July 20 GN.SJ.
Cotton futures turned rs cents a
bale under the previous close
around the noon hour today.
After rallying as much as 40
cents in initial dealings. Offer
ings were not particularly heavy
but trade and speculative buying
lacked consistency.
The initial upturn ranged from
2 to 8 points and was partly
predicated on strength in Liver
pool, where cables were more
than q dozen American points
above due prices. Demand for
cotton on the call was fairly
heavy, but petered out in Suose'
Quent dealings.
Wall Street, wire houses and
domestic trade sources were the
chief buyers throughout the fore
noon. Spot firms, New orleans
and the South were lined up on
the selling side Of the market.
Twice as much as that which
had been reported would be pur-
chased when specifications were
first sent out, will be used in the
