COTTON LOWER
AND SLUGGISH

NEW YORK, March . 0N.SJs
In extremely quiet trading the
cotton market moved slightly
lower today, although the gen.
eral tone continued steady. Fluc-
tuations were narrow, contracts
holding with a 5-point range.
The market turned easier after
early buying orders had been
executed and the list worked
gradually lower. Price recessions
were orderly, however, and sup
port, in the form Of professional
buying, was noted at the lower
levels.
Weather conditions in the
South were Showery in central
and western portions, with snow
at some points. Precipitation was
not sufficient to alleviate dry
conditions prevailing n some
areas, although current reports
indicate soil conditions have been
improved.
At noon futures were off 1 10
3 points, with May off 3 at 12.22,
July off 2 at 1894, October Oft
/ at 12.47, and December off 1
at 1888.

of Standard Oil Company of
Indiana in IA States will work

that, we find the cost Of Iiv.
ing rises, SO IabOrerS can buy
no more products than before.
The only ways to get rid of
SurpluSes are to sell them cheap
or to destroy them.
How to Raise Buying Power
The only way to create new
buying power is to make it pos
Sible to increase profitable pro-
duction.
The second proposition Is this:
'What this country needs is
two kinds Of mOney-standard
money, and printing press
money" my correspondent
would call the latter "NRA
money!
The latter would be printed in
large amounts and be put in
circulation by paying high wages.
This idea always comes up in
big depressions. It was held by
"Coin Harvey" in 1896. It is the
idea that we need more money
and that we should add a lot OF
bad money to our supply Of good
money.
I don't think that the country
needs more money. We have about
as much as we ever had.
But aside from that, If we put
out lot Of printing press money
which is not convertible at it's face
value into something which has
a real exchange value equal to the
figure printed on the paper money
the paper money will decline in
purchasing power. Prices will come
to be measured in this money
Then the laborerS' paper wages
will buy no more food and cloth
ing than before. Probably not as
much.
Two Standards Impracticable
You can't keep two kinds OF
money, one of which is not really
worth as much as the other, at
par. The good standard" money
will be boarded. The paper money
whether backed by over-valued
silver, or not) will replace it in
circulation. Inflated prices will re,
suit. Labor will be worse off.
This hIs been tried over and
over again, always with the same
results.
My correspondent should note
that no one would hoard the print.
ing press money, whether you pro,
vide some scheme for depreciating
it each month or not. No one
would want it to keep. That is
just the trouble with it. Its pur,
chasing power would be declining.

Banking Reforms

Writing in Economic Forum
for the first time since becoming
one of its editors, Frank A. Van
derlip advocates as part of a
Program for Banking Legisla-
ton" the extension of the mutual
bank principle to the field Of
commercial banking.
But first, he says, commercial
and investment banking must be
separated. Trustee functions
should also be separated from
all other banking functions, and
there should be a restricted, but
not nation wide, system Of
branch banking, he adds.

Clearly there is some limit
What is it?
The limit Of what can be paid
to labor is set by what an indus
try produces, and by the minimum
amounts which must go to CAPT.
tai and enterprise. Clearly a
business can't pay wages in ex-
cess Of its net sales. Clearly, in
fact, it can't pay all it's receipts
out as wages. If nothing is given
as interest on invested capital and
profits for direction of the en-
terprise, the business will cease
to exist.
Why Industries Lag
The chief reason why our so.
called "heavy industries" are lag
glng, and thus keeping EN-
ployment down, is that much in
vested capital has not been able
to get interest. One reason why
banks are unable to make loans
is that business enterprise is un
able to get profits. If too much
is paid in wages, we kill the goose
which lays the wages eggs.
So we can't just decide to
boost wages. We have to con-
slider from what source wages
must come, and make allowance
for other payments.
In many cases, I am sure,
the only way to pay higher
wages now is to boost the prices
of products. But when we do
