 COTTON FUTURES
 New York, July 2-(UPl-Cotton futures advanced about $15O a bale in fairly active forenoon dealings today on hopes of a favorable com promise on farm legislation and or increasing imitation talk in trading quarters.
 Around noon the list was 20 to 25 points net higher, only slightly un- der the extreme peaks recorded earlier.
 Active demand for the staple was attributed partly to trade belief that compromise may yet be af- fected in the deadlocked farm legis- lation to provide full 100 per cent parity loans on the basic crops. Up- ward revision in ceiling prices on canned goods and assertion by Price Administrator Leon Henderson that controls over prices, rents and ra- tioning were threatened by slash in the OPA budget also encouraged some initiation buying" in cotton.
 The market started II to % points higher.

ALCORN SILENT
 ABOUT BORGNAES
Special Prosecutor to Study Plan of PrOsecu-
 ton; May Call Jury

Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn remained silent today con- cerning his plans for the prosecu- tion of Enoch E. Borgnaes who was arrested Tuesday on a charge of taking important part in the million dollar fraud conspiracy in Water bury between 1881 and 1888.
 The special prosecutor, who re- tired July as states attorney for Hartford county has announced his intentions of handling the prosecu- ton of Borgnaes as a matter of "un- finished business"
 In view of the action of Judge Ed ward J. Daly in superior court yes terday, in ordering Borgnaes held in $50,0O0 bail for trial in Septem- Der, it is believed in informed quar- ters that Special Pros. Alcorn will determine between now and the fall term whether the extraordinary grand jury will be called back into session to take up where 1t left off in May, 1888.
 Whether the grand jury will be re- called probably will depend on Borgnaes' attitude under prelim- mary questioning by the special prosecutor and his staff.
 The special prosecutor has de- clined to comment for publication on the subject.
 Borgnaes, as far as is known, has not yet retained lawyer, and has had no visitors at his cell in New Haven county jail other than news papermen.
 MT. Alcorn was at the office of his son, the new states attorney for Hartford county, Hugh Meade Alcorn this morning.
 He could not be reached for con- ment concerning plans for proceed ure in the Borgnaes case, however.

the cargo space. More immediately important, because the rubber there is inaccessible.
 The most rubber we ever were able to obtain from South America in a year was sixty thousand tons. To get that required price of 8 a pound.
 Finally, since we must make what ever rubber we have, what about the battle of grain versus petroleum as a source?
 The United States possesses plen- ty of both. Which shall be used is entirely a matter of expediency.
 To make rubber from alcohol would be cheaper and quicker than to make 1t from petroleum. To make rubber from grain is more expen-

sive and more involved.
 The manufacture of rubber from petroleum is closely allied with the refining of 100 octane gasoline for airplane use. The same plant can be utilized for either. Rubber can be made from petroleum at the re- finery, so that the only transporta- tion involved is that of the finished product.
 To make rubber from grain in- wolves collection of the grain and it's transportation to the distillery. Then the alcohol must be taken to butadiene plant. The butadiene must be carried in specially con- structed tank cars, because 1t boils at zero degrees of temperature, to the latex plant. Such cars would

have to be built.
 Theoretically it would be possible to construct all facilities for mak- ing alcohol from grain, butadiene from alcohol and 1atex from buta- diene, in or near the grain fields.
 That, however, would involve the wide use of structural and plate steel-the two forms which make up our steel bottleneck; the manu- facture of compressors; the use of copper, of which we are running 075,0 900 tons short, for stills.
 Butadiene from grain will cost from ten to fifteen cents pound more than from petroleum or nat ural gas, the WIPE estimates. This would make the 100000 ton program cost $140,000,000 a year more, if grain were used exclusively.
