NEW YORK. June lo.-Cotton fu-

cables was partly Offset by week end
liquidation. July. 1909; October,
1918; December. 1910; January.
1918: March. 1918; May, 1923.
The market was quiet with traders
not inclined to make fresh commit
ments for over the week end. Follow
ing the call prices sagged a few points
under local liquidation owing to 4
rather favorable view Of the weather,
especially in the Western belt where
practically no rainfall was reported.
Prices moved over a narrow range
in exceptionally quiet trading and
shortly after the first half hour Octo-
Der, which had sold OF from 1914 to
1910, was 1918 and prices generally
were 4 points net higher to 2 lower.
A weekly Dallas newspaper report
said Texas cotton was growing perhaps
too rapidly and weather conditions
favored insect increase.
Liverpool advanced on weevil COM
plants from the Eastern cotton belt
The Commodity Credit Corp. reported
releases Of 100,27s bales OF loan cot

Higher Commissions Questioned.
The move started in New York to
increase commissions for investors
and traders doing business on the
New York Stock Exchange has caused
lot OF discussion in the brokerage
Offices In Washington.
Advancing commissions Is very
delicate matter, in the opinion of the
majority of brokers here The aim,
Of course, is to increase revenues for
the exchange houses to offset the pres
ent lack OF volume. 1t seems to be
the feeling here that any increase of
considerable amount might reduce
total trading and In this way put a
check on desired increased revenues.
Some brokers go so far as to say that
1t might be better to reduce commisa
sions while business is so quiet.
The suggestion that commissions
might be charged according to the
total funds involved in each transac-
ton, rather than charging a certain
amount per share in the different price
ranges. is meeting no opposition here.
This plan might make the commits
sions easier to figure, especially for
the customer. Raising commission
charges, however. is like raising or
lowering street car fares. 1t is i'm
possible to tell what the results will
be until the different plans are given
trial.

Appeal to Stay Open
Until 2 Am.

ANNAPOLIS, March ia re-
newed appeal for extension Of the
mandatory midnight closing hour for
beer parlors in Montgomery County
has been made to members of the
State Assembly by the Montgomery
County Beer Dealers Association.
Conferring with legislators from
that community, officials Of the asso-
citation pleaded yesterday for enact
ment Of law which will permit them
to remain open until 2 am, privi-
lege enjoyed by dealers in Washington
and Prince Georges County.
They said the differentiation in the
closing hours cost them the trade OF
many persons in Montgomery County,
who patroniZe establishments In
Prince Georges and the National
Capital because OF the 2 am. law in
those places.
While the dealers were given no
definite assurance their request would
be granted, 1t was said that their
appeal will be given further consider
alton by the legislators, who last week
riddled the beer dealers program for
liberalization of the county's liquor
laws.
Senator Stedman Prescott and Dele
gates T. Yellott Candy, Joseph A.
Cantrel and Walter M. Magruder
heard the request. Delegates Ruth
E. Shoemaker and r. Shirley Hays
were unable to be present.

Of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross at the caucus

of Representatives in Hartford Wednes-
day night. Many glowing tributes were
paid to the chief executive, who was also
among the several speakers to appear be-
fore the group. AS Governor Cross con-
tinues in office the warm regard in which
he is held here in Connecticut CLOVIS
stronger and brighter. 1t Is high compli-
ment to him that instead of antagoniz-
ing individuals and groups by his politi-
cal activities he, on the other hand, makes
more and new friends. In time he will
even have the endorsement of the repub-
lican party. This might sound like an
exaggeration, but we would be willing to
wager that If he runs and Is elected in
1888 in 1910 he would be the candidate
of both major political parties in this state.
1t might not be bad idea to propose such
happy event for 1888.

Save The Elns

According to latest reports on the
progress Of the Dutch elm disease In this
state, 1887 may see a cessation In the
number of beautiful elmS that have been
destroyed In the last two years. It is now
planned by state and federal government
scientists TO seek means Of controlling
the disease. Cutting down diseased trees,
Of course, does not indicate control. 1t
merely is designed to prevent the spread
OF the disease through the presence of one
more infected tree.
AS matter Of fact first information
on this blight revealed that 1t was not
possible for an elm tree that had been
struck by the disease to be saved. The
only recourse was to cut down the tree
and this end the cycle of life In one agency
of transmission. The elm disease does
not require an intermediary agent to
carry out the cycle Of life OF blight. Bis
ter rust, which does so much damage to
pine trees, demands the wild gooseberry
as go-between infestations of different
pine trees. In short blister rust does not
go from pine tree to pine tree, but from
pine tree to gooseberry bush to pine tree.
So far as we know there is no such
botanical discovery as this In the prog
ress OF the Dutch elm disease. But the
average person will be more concerned
with the latest news that would indicate
fewer trees might be cut down in 1887.
Cutting them down has not prevented
the spread Of the disease, therefore, It is
safe to assume that other meanS of check
ing the blight will be sought. The dis
eases Of mankind are causes of anxiety
and worry, but most of them have sue
cumbed to science; not so those that in
flict themselves on the world of plants;
they are yet to be solved.
