NEW ORLEANS. La, Jan. 7.
-tUP)-Cott0n traders ran tn"
market up $3.50 bale yesterday
in the first burst Of enthusiasm
over the supreme court decision
, that killed the AAA.
A. reaction ser in. gained NOM
entum when the government took
advantage ct the rise to start
selling from its vas cotton hold
ings, and by the end Of the day
! the gains were wiped out.
Traders We're uncertain last

was: What effect does the AAA
decision have on the governments
''toan" cotton?
In making l2-centS-a-2onnd
loans to farmers and taking their
cotton as security. the govern
ment ACQUIRED 4.6GT.l76 bales.
The loans mature February and
some policy must be devised for
disposal. Senator 8ankhead had
said he will introduce a bill re-
uuiring the secretary of &gricul-
ture to take over the loan cot
ton and market it at the rate OF
10000 bales Il week. Some OBJ

liQuidatcd. =.
The officially estimated deficit
of the budget for the current
fiscal year, exclusive of the East
African campaign, is l,G5IOOO,-
600 lire.
italv's economic battle is pre-
scented wildly in the decrease OF
the nations gold. Most of the de-
crease was due to foreign pur-
chascs made in gol dto avoid any
possibility of a run on the lire:
| During 1894 gold reserves Tell
from 1O5,OO0,00O lire to 5,Sll,-
100000 lire. BY October ~,
| 1885, the last date on which Of
flea FIGURES were permitted to be
made public, the gold reserve to-
tailed 1886, 100000 lire. The 46
per cent gold backing of cur
iency previously maintained by
! the Bank Of Italy was reduced IN
July to 40 per cent and then de-
clined steadily to approximately
| 20 per cent by the close of Oc-
! tober.
Official treasury figures show
ed that up to March, 1885, eXpen-
! ditures charged to the East Afri-
can campaign fund totalled 374,-
/ $4,000 lire. BY the close of the
fiscal year, June so, 1885, the
cost increased to 974,871, 900 lire.
Txpenditures made under other
budgets such as war, navy, air,
colonies and communications on
the East African program were
not specified although all these
departments contributed to the
colonial adventure.
FUTURE UNCERTAINTY
Funds necessary to transport
Mussoiini's fascist legiOns to Afrl-
can battle fronts and to furnish
them food and war materials be-
can to increase sharply in July
! when 375, 100000 lire were spent.
In September the cost jumped to
G33.502,O00 lire. The three-month
total for July, August and Sep
TENDER was 1,345, 425,000 lire, or
a monthly average of approx
! mately 450,000,000 lire.
The budget deficit for 1934-35
amounted to ,42S,112,395 lire.
Of this total 974,871,924 lire was
incurred because of East Afri-
can expenditures.
The immediate future appears
to most trade observers highly I'M
certain because of the following
reasons:
l. Sanctions.
2. Italy must buy most essen
tial raw materials.
8. The exchange rate of the
lire makes international compe-
ton extremely difficult especially
in price-cutting markets.
4. Cost Of the East African
campaign coupled with a steady
decline in gold reserves and in
creased taxation.
In addition to these factors
Italy must import an estimated 76
per cent of the raw materials
necessary to support an army in
the field.

EXPECT GOOD PRICES

Curing of tobacco is well under way
throughout Vance county on larger
scale than at any time up to now for
the 1886 crop, according to growers.
First primings have been taken from
nearly all fields and some growers arc
much further up the stalk. Nearly
every farm has some good tobacco
along with the poorer grades, but the
general quality of the leaf that is be-
ing harvested throughout the county
is said to be of high type.
Good prices are expected for the
weed when sales are started on the
local market a month hence, on Tues
day. September %. High averages are
reported in the Georgia and South
Carolina-s order belt areas and have
been since the season began in those
areas, which has impaired large de-

rumor here today that the opening
in the Middle Belt might be put off
a week from the date fixed, on &C
count of the lateness Of the crop in
the border territory, and the need for
buyers remaining there for a longer
period than had been anticipated
This was not confirmed, and there
was no certainty about it.
If the sales should be deferred d
week after the date already fixed for
the opening, Middle Belt markets
would likely suffer in the loss of sales
as some growers, anxious for ready
cash, would take a part of their ear
ly curings to the eastern markets for
sale. Free hauling service provided
would also he an extra inducement
How much of this is going on or may
go on in the near future is speculative
and the worst part of it is that there
is little that can be done about it.
