COTTON LOSES
PART Of GAINS

NEW YORK, May IS G.N.S).
The cotton market eased off from
early highs as profit-taking began
to depress the new crop months.
The old months which have not
enjoyed the recent advances held
steady. A similar situation in
Liverpool influenced the market
to an extent.
The easiness in the new months
was due to smaller Government
buying. The trade, the Far East
and commission houses bought oc-
casionally but failed to support
the market actively, Selling was
coming from the South princi"
pally.
Towards noon July was quoted
at 1889 UP 2. october 11.78 up /,
December 11.S4 unchanged and
March 1871 off 2 points.

Prices Again Rise Is to rs
Cents; Extreme Top
at $12.15.

The top price of hogs at the In
dianapolis Union Stockyards today
equaled the Sl215 mark, the highest
paid for any classes since August,
1929, established in the sharp up
ward movement early last month.
The increase in prices today
varied from Is cents in the general
run to largely IS cents in the I'M
derweight division. Supply and de-
mand, which rules the price trends
in all livestock markets, have con-
tributed favorably to sharp in
creases in prices during the last
two weeks.
Today's supply at the local eX-
change were estimated at 1000, eX-
ceeding yesterdays number by 1000
With a strong consumers demand
prevailing this, however, has had
only a small effect on the local
market. Of the total receipts only
81 were held over for tomorrow'S
market.
Bulk of 160 to 100 pounds cashed
in at $1170 to $12, while better
weights, scaling 100 to 300 pounds,
ranged upward from $12 to $1215.
Extreme heavies from 300 pounds
and upward brought $11.70 to $1190.
Medium light slaughter pigs, from
100 to 100 pounds. sold at $1,000 to
SLIPS. Good packing sows were
salable at $9.75 to $1,000.
Initial trading was extremely &C
tive on all slaughter classes in the
cattle market and a firm under
tone again prevailed. Few classes
of beef steers we're reported selling
at $3.50 to $10.75. Good and choice
grades we're absent. Heifers in
small lots brought 1925 to $1,000.
Grassy low-grade classes ranged
from $3.50 to $3.50. Receipts were
600.
The veal market, which has in
creased sharply in the last two ses-
sionS, again was so cents higher to-
day. The bulk of good and choice
kinds sold at $1,000 to Sill Lambs
were Live to around 25 cents
higher. with the bulk of better
grade eve and wether kinds selling
at $875 to $780, Slaughter sheep

Policy Similar to That in
Use in America Dropped
for Substitute.
BY DANIEL VI. KIDNEY
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5 Egypt,
which next TO India is Americas
closest competitor in the cotton
markets Of the Iorld, has tried and
abandoned a crop curtailment and
price fixing program similar to the
one new being pursued in the
United States. Instead, the Egyp-
tan government has inaugurated its
present policy of producing the
maximum yields on the maximum
area at minimum costs with little
governmental Intervention.
This was disclosed today in a
survey of cotton production in Egypt
made by P K. Norris, senior mar
keting specialist of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economies of the Agri-
culture Department.
Mr.. Norris. who is now en- route
to Washington from a study tour
of the Brazilian cotton situation,
made the survey in Egypt last year.
The future of cotton production
in Egypt is closely associated with a
national cotton policy and the ex-
pansion of the total crop area" he

Reversal of Policy

The present government policy
with regard to cotton production ap-
pears TO be complete reversal of
the policy Of few years ago. Con-
trasted with the old policy of en-
oouraging the planting of long fine
staple varieties regardless of yields
and depending upon government
action to maintain prices, is the
present policy of producing the
maximum yields of the maximum
area at minimum costs with little
government intervention.
Egyptian officials and agricul-
tural leaders now recognize that the
advantages enjoyed by Egyptian
cotton because of its staple are be-
ing modified somewhat through the
competition of other long-Staple-
producing countries and shifts in
the world demand for long staple
cottonS.
Egypt is still the leading long
staple-producing country, but must
recognize the increasing production
of long staples in the Anglo-Egyp-
tan Sudan and in Uganda, Brazil,
Peru, and in the United States.

NEW YORK CITY'S pepper-pot
L y mayor. Fiorello La Guardia.
implacable foe Of certain public
utility interests, this week signed
bill authorizing a referendum at
the November election on the ques-
ton Of constructing a $40 500 900
municipality owned power plant.
The issues involved make this cpl
sode more than Just another city
wooing public ownership.
In the first place more than
passing interest is attracted to the
long drawn-Out controversy be-
cause Of the imposing stature Of
the principals involved. New York
City and environs comprise what is
probably the most oeasely popu-
lated area of its size in the world.
Consolidated Gas Co. of New York.
which furnishes the city's pOpula-
ton with its gas, electric light and
power. is one of the largest public
utility organization in the world.
With two such behemoths oc-
cupying the center of the arena it
is to be expected that each viii ex-
pend every effort to come out on
top. The decision now rests with
the electorate and advocates Of
municipal ownership of public util-
tiles throughout the country will
keep their ears to the ground on
the eventful Nov. to find out
whether New York City has voted
yes or no on the proposition.

Short Staples Substituted

Recent improvement in spinning
machinery has made possible the
substitution of short staples for
longer ones"
The report says that with contin-
ued improvement of spinning ma
chinery, the length of the stable will
have little to do with competition in
world markets.
The present policy" Mr.. Norris
says, includes the completion of the
Irrigation and drainage works. the
retaining of The waste lands, and
the increase of yields by a more
extensive planting of higher yield
ing varieties and the use of i'm
proved cultural methods.
This policy of quantity rather
than quality is based on the the
DRY that an increased yield will not
only increase the returns to growers
but will add to the total national
income"
