satisfactory to the majority Of share
It has been this writer's conviction
for months that Government control
within the next few years is newt
able for the reason that the recovery
In earnings and in credit will be slow
and that, in order to meet the ex-
pansion program required to compete
with new traffic agencies, the only
abundant source of credit supply must
be the United States Treasury. The
day has passed when cooperation
and consolidation with a sharp re-
duction In working forces can be af-
fected. There Is more likely to be an
imperative demand for increased per-
sonnel instead Of a contracted one.
Witness the trend toward a six-hour
work day and annuity payments to
employees. Furthermore, in the pres
ent spirit of the public, it is doubt
full If much heed will be given to the
lesson which Canada has learned of
the wastefulness and costliness of
government operation. There Is ever
the faith that we may succeed where
others have failed in a similar enter
prise.
These facts must be faced by the
present holder of railroad securities.
They may not be of immediate i'm
portance to him. but they will have
to be reckoned with sooner or later
In the meantime a careful watch
should be maintained over the cur
rents of sentiment concerning this
subject as they appear on the sur
face Of Washington affairs.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Cotton was
quiet but steady today, with October
advancing to 11.64 or % points above
the low level of yesterday on covering
and little buying by the trade That
delivery closed at 1853, with the gen.
eral market ending steady at net ad-
vances Of to 10 points.
There was scattered buying which
evidently encountered very few offer
ings. The early action of the grain
and stock markets contributed to the
advance. and while prices sagged
slightly following reactions in wheat
they firmed up again in the late
trading on q somewhat increased
trade demand.
December advanced to 11.76 and
closed at lila, and final quotations
generally were within a point or two
of the best. Some further LIQUIDATION
Of July was taken by the trade with
out much change in differences and
the continued absence of selling
orders fror1 the South left the market
sensitive to comparatively small buy
ing orders.
There was some talk of low tenn
peratures in the South and a few
complaints Of excessive moisture IN
some sections. Otherwise the weather
news was considered generally favor
able.
Liverpool remained closed today
and seemed to have comparatively
few orders here, but there was a
little buying early believed to be for
continental account.
The amount Of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end If the
week was estimated at $4,000 bales
against $4,000 last year and 10000
two years ago.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY H. n. McGILL,
Gill Commodity Service. Inc.

McGill Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, May rs (P).
Commodity prices during the fourth
week in May registered a definite
decline. The reaction was preceded
by several weeks of price stability.
A check-up shows not one single ad-
vance during the past week. Out of
IA individual groups, 7 declined and
2 remained unchanged The reaction
was in alignment with the under
lying trend of industrial activity,
which was seasonally downward. The
week also featured growing labor con-
troversies and the spreading of con-
servatism following the unenthusi-
astic reception of the silver proposal
and the inability of the stock market
to gain ground.
Industrial prices ruled lower, re-
f1ecting price weakness in hides and
leather, non-ferrous metals and tex
tiles. Shipments of raw materials
into consuming establishments tell
sharply under the average recorded
during the first quarter of the year.
Farm Prices Lower.
Agricultural prices lost some ground.
Although the grains averaged higher
the upswing was limited and more
than counteracted by price weakness
in cotton and dairy products.
Live stock represented the third
major group that ruled lower. Sheep
prices were sharply lower and frac-
tional weakness was noted in cattle
and hogs. Hog prices are holding
close to the $3.50 level, compared with
q pre-war 1908-1912 average of $7.23.
Hides and leather represented the
fourth group that declined during the
week. Both hides and union sole
leather were quoted under the levels
of week ago.
Non-ferrous metals was the fifth
group to decline. The bulk of the
decrease was due to lead, although
antimony, quicksilver, silver and tin
averaged lower.
Fine textiles accounted for the
sixth group to register a decline from
the previous week. The downward
movement was due chiefly to cotton,
print cloth and the first change in
rayon prices since July, 1888. Silk
and wool remained practically un-
changed.
Coarse Textiles Drop.
Coarse textiles represented the
seventh group that declined. The
reaction was of a limited character
and reflected price concessions in
burlap and kapok.
Most important price changes in
the McGill weekly price index Q926
equaling 1000 are as follows:

HELPS FOR
 HOUSEWIVES
KEEPING TRACK OF ARTICLES
 STORED DURING SUMMER

Tn packing away garments for the summer, 1t is helpful to write on the wrapping what each pack age contains. Too, a list should be kept of these stored articles and their storage places, so that they may be obtained quickly if they are needed. It saves a great deal of poking around in closets and upsetting careful arrangements.
 The same principle should be used in packing luggage for sum- mer vacations. It is helpful to have list showing what the various bags and trunks contain, and to arrange things so that one bag has articles needed imme- diately, another has bulky" art icles, and so on.

IN BIG LEAGUE ALTHOUGH TWO
 TIMES RETIRED
John Conlan Holds Post with White Sox Alter
 Giving Up Baseball
By WILLIAM WEEKES

Associated Press sports Wrlter)
 CHICAGO, Aug. 8.John "Jocko' Conlan, a 3l-year-old Irishman from Chicagos west side, is mak ing good with the White Sox-two years after having given up hope of fashioning a major league base ball career.
 Conlan, stubby and somewhat pugnacious, quit baseball in dis gust before the 1882 season be- cause the Newark International league club wanted to make sharp reduction in his salary He decided if he wasn't worth more than he was offered he might better get out of baseball.
 It was not his first disappoint- ment. After working up from the Wichita club of the Western league to Rochester of the International between 1924 and 1926, he was re- garded as prospect for the big time. Cincinnati had about de- cided he was worth $15,000 and three ball players, for 1926 deliv- cry. when he suffered severe leg injury
 Back To The Sand-lots
 The deal fell through. He stayed in the International league for a while, then played with Toledo in the American Association. Back he went to the International loop with Newark. Then clear out of baseball
 Back in Chicago, Conlan could always get ball-playing job with 8 semi-professional team. In addi- tion, he became physical director for west side playground He still loved baseball, but had dis missed the big league angle from his mind.
 Early in July the White Sox, desperately in. need of a competent utility outfielder, started looking around. Conlan had been doing all right in semi-pro ball. Harry Grabiner, vice-president of the Sox. called the Irishman early one morning and asked if he would like to come over to Comiskey park and be looked over by Man ager Jimmy Dykes. Conlan thought he was being ribbed"
 Gets In There Regularly -
 Finally convinced that the prop osition was on the level. he went over to the park, and looked good enough to warrant another look. He was taken to Cleveland, out Dykes had little idea of using. him. However, Eyar Swanson wasn't hit ting. so Conlan was sent to right field. He got. hit, driving in a run. His fielding was actually i'm pressive.
 Since then, Conlan has been iu the lineup every day. sometimes in l place of Swanson and sometimes in place of Mule Haas, who had q bad leg. He has been getting hii or so every day, and handling fly balls and ground balls in fash- ion that has irened some of the worry -furrows out of Dykes brow
