that when a super government IS set up

vanish. And from the acts of this

Council Bill No. Il

Despite the fact that meeting of the
Council in committee is supposed to be
under closed doors large audience was
present in the Council Hall last night be-
fore the members arrived. Such is the
widespread interest IN Colonial Council
Bill No. 27.
However, in the absence of objections
the audience remained and was enlight-
ened on several points.
One startling statement was made
last night by Mr.. Douglas Armstrong.
who said that the delay in the passage
of the Bill was injuring the interest OF
rum manufacturers as they are not per-
mitted to export their rum.
A Bill is before the Colonial Council
providing for an exclusive monopoly OF
the rum business for the Government
which in turn is to authorize the Virgin
Islands Co. to exercise this right An
other Bill provides for the, Geation OF
this Virgin Islands Co. These Bills have
not been passed by the Council and
have no force of law. Liquor is being
imported and sold here legally since the
repeal of Prohibition on the islands.
therefore, it was suggested. that an EN-
barge on the expectation of rum is
matter that should be taken to the pro-
per authorities at Washington.
There was a SUBJ committee report on
Colonial CouDcil Bill No. q deleting the
right of eminent domain and the right
to invade all fields of business. and
there was a minority report. The Coun-
Gil was not inclined to consider the
amendments. The members are sx-
tremely suspicious. They feel that an
undue advantage is being taken of the
situation and are weighing very careful
~ the responsibility they are being ask
ed to shoulder.
While one or two members were
rather unbecoming in their behavior

PROFITS Squirt

The semi-annual report OF the
International Nickel Company Of
Canada. Ltd, showed net profit
of $1O,O12,642 for the six months
ended on June 80, after expenses,
provision for taxes, depreciation,
depletion, interest and other de-
auctions.
After dividend requirements on

equaled 81 cents share on 14,584'

30. the net profit, on the same
basis, was $4.963,366, equivalent
after preferred dividends, to 81
cents a common share and com
pares with a net profit of S5O49,,
275, in the first quarter, also equal
to 81 cents a common snare. IN
the second quarter of last year the
net of $1,943,O47 was equal to III
cents a common share.
The balance sheet reflects the
purchase of additional shares OF
the ontario Refining Company,
Ltd, and the further reduction
in the outstanding debenture stock
of British subsidiaries, the two
transactions involving $500, 1872.
Despite these OUTLAWS and the
payment of two dividends on the
common stock, aggregating $2,915,-
633, the cash on June 80 was $15,-
96l, 243, against $14,O85,610 on De

issues forging ahead. The dollar
was firm.
Stocks displayed an improved
tone from the opening when
furry of buying sent the rails up
from fractions to more than a
point. The uptrend in the rails
came in the face of a poor traf-
fic showing last week and the
order from the pension board to
the carriers requesting start on
payments in compliance with the
law.
Special issues came to the fore
later. Radio preferred B spurted
more than 3 points, and carried
the other communication shares
along. Postal Telegraph Preferred
and Western Union gained more
than 2 points each. International
Telephone and American and
Foreign Power worked ahead in
sympathy.

COTTON PRICES
RISE SHARPLY

NEW YORK, Aug. Is GN.SO.
The improved tone in stocks and
buoyancy in grains, further
strengthened the cotton market
today, with futures adding good
gains to yesterdays advance OF
more than rs cents.
Trading again was at a mod
erately active pace as Wall Street
and foreign trade interests came
into the ring for appreciate
amounts of cotton. Professionals
and domestic mills also bought,
but on a smaller scale. Offer
ings were furnished by the south
and local traders.
The list displayed firm tone
from the opening, notching over
night gains of 7 to 9 points on
Liverpool cables that were a
dozen points above due prices.
The initial upswing attracted
moderate profit-taking, but this
was well absorbed by new buy
Ing which followed the higher
opening in the grain pit.
Current buoyancy in the cotton
market is attributed to the reports
Ghat the Government would loan
II cents a pound to growers on
new crop cotton based low mid
ding in the South this fall, as
against 10 cents loaned last year.
If this is so and the Government
should take a good sized slice OF
the nine-million-bale crop tempo
rarily off the market, some cotton
men believe there might be fewer
bales left to hedge than there
would be hedges outstanding to
he bought in by the trade. In
that event, prices might tend up
ward during the marketing sea-
son in sharp contrast with recent
years when large crops and
heavy carryover have contributed
dips in September.
Midday quotations were up 7
to 9 points, with october up at
1884, December up at 1853,
March up Z at 1885, and May up
8 at 1895.

COTTON GUT

Cotton farmers in the South, by
intelligent and cooperative execu-
ton of the AAA cotton reduction
program, have set an example to
the entire nation as to how agri-
culture can effect recovery.
This was the declaration by
Undersecretary of Agriculture
Rexford G. Tugwell today in an
address here. In other sections of
the country farmers are still
lamenting their situation because
they failed to follow the example
of the Southern cotton farmer, he
declared.
He mentioned specifically the
apple growers of New York State,
where my fellow Yankees have
failed to seize their opportunity" y
He vigorously praised the eff
cient manner in which the South
has executed the cotton reduction
program, and declared the end of
the present year will find the
5000, OOO-bale surplus of two years
ago reduced to only 100000
bales.
Cotton farmers now face a de-
cision as to what they wish to do
about the export market, what
price level they want to maintain
in cotton, and how much is to be
raised next year. These are mat
tiers they must decide upon for
themselves, he said.
