 Washington, Jan. 14.-(UP)- Tumbling stock and commodity prices foreshadow speculative re- action to the possibility of the sup reme court reclaring unconstitu- tional the gold action of the Roose- welt administration.
 Presumably the rumblings were Q foretaste of what would happen if the court acts against the mone- tary program, as exemplified in the cases involved without precaution- ary action by the government.
 Five cases involving the gold pro- gram have been argued before the court. In three the plaintiffs con- tend that their railroad gold clause bonds must be paid in gold or tho currency equivalent, $1.89 to the dollar. In another they charge fourth 4 IA liberty bonds called last spring should be paid the same way. The fourth suit asks that pay ment be made on gold certificates turned in under the anti-hoarding orders.
 The government argues that none of these claims can be up- held because they interfere with congress power to regulate cur | rency.
 Prior to March 1893, when President Roosevelt declared the bank holiday, raids on the dollar had tended to reduce the govern ment's supply of gold. It was flow ing abroad and at home. Hoarders were gathering in gold and gold certificates under the free gold policy which had been maintained by the United States after other nations had abandoned 1t.
 Foreign nations for the most part had abandoned the free gold standard and ceased to use gold coin. Instead bullion reserves were maintained for currency backing. This is just what the United States sought to do.
 The obvious advantage of this system was to maintain 0 stable currency. It also permitted the government to keep the dollars value on foreign exchange on parity with the currency Of other nations. Raids on the dollar could be met in open competition.
 Soon afterwards congress pass ed the agriculture adjustment act with the Thomas amendment.
 The latter was the attempt or the imitation bloc in congress which gave the president discretionary bower to do almost as he wished with the currency. It carried per mkissIve power to devalue the doi- lar in terms of gold by as much as 50 per cent. r, ed in gold 1t became, 1t was pe- Iieyed, desiable to use this power In the way stood the 00,0o0.0oO,, 900 of gold clause bonds which had been issued by the government ana private long term borrowers ana which demanded payment In golo at the old standard of value, name ly 2b.8 grains, nine tenths inc Tor every dollar. X dent signed on June 6, 1893, public resolution No. 10. The act deciared an emergency and gave the con gressional intent to make all doi- lars equal in terms of currency. IL found gold clause obligations an Imnediment. The resolution pro- vided that such obligations be pay able in any kind of legal tender.
 In January, 1884, congress di- rected the president to reduce the gold content of the dollar py not less than 40 nor more than bO per cent. A few days later he reduced 1t by executive order rom 2o.e

COTTON LOWER.
IN DULL TRADE

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 G.N.SD.
The cotton market moved slightly
lower today in comparatively
quiet dealings, futures losing O
few points under light selling
from domestic sources.
Most Of the cotton for sale
today was furnished by spot firms,
locals and the South, with aggre-
gate offerings failing to reach
any great proportions. Easiness
in the ring resulted chiefly from
the limited demand. Trade inter
terests and the Continent were
moderate purchases during fore
noon dealings.
The only item of interest in
today's news was the report of
the bureau of agricultural eco
nomics. stating that world cotton
production is now estimated at
100000 bales, or 100000 bales
less than the November estimate
and 100000 less than produc-
ton in 1888. The downward re-
vision since November, it was
pointed out, is chiefly on the
basis Of reports of reduced crop
prospects in India. The present
estimate is the smallest since
1923-24.
Midday prices were 2 to 3
points lower, with March off 2
at 1888. May off at 12.U, July
off 2 at 1874, and December off
3 at 1855.
The Washington times., 1935-01-08

Texas Corporation was the most
pronounced weak spot in the Sec
tion, losing more than q point.
Standard Oil of New Jersey also
lost about a point. while Socony
Vacuum, Standard of Indiana,
SimmS, Pure Oil and Consoli-
dated Oil suffered slightly smaller
losses.
Industrial shares were unset
tied by the heaviness in the
petroleum group. United States
Steel, though, was in consistent
demand and held slightly above
yesterdays closing levels.
Utilities Lower
Fresh selling broke out in the
utility shares where Consolidated
Gas got down more than half
point to within small fractions OF
it's record low. Public Service,
Columbia Gas, United Gas I'm
provement and other power and
light favorites also were frac-
tionally lower.
Chemical shares were under
pressure with du Pont and Allied
Chemical down about 2 points
each.
Railroad shares turned soft
after early firmnesS. Atchison
opened fractionally higher, but
had it's early gain converted into
q small loss before the end Of the
first hour. A similar situation de-
veloped in New York Central,
Southern Railway and several Of
the lowerpriced favorites.
Farm Shares Dip
j. I. Case was heavy in the
farm equipment shares. Profit
taking was evident in this issue
and appeared to be aggravated by
the heavineSS in the wheat market
where losses ran to half a cent a
bushel. Mail order shares were
easier.
Mining stocks did little as
United States Smelling, Cerro de
Pasco, American Smelling and
others held in a narrow range
around their previous closing
levels.
Both General Motors and
Chrysler held comparatively well
near yesterdays closing levels.
The motor equipments, though,
were slightly easier.
Tobacco, AVIATION, liquor and
specially shares were quiet and
slightly easier in sympathy with
the rest of the list.
