today for the third time in less

of cotton had tumbled total OF
more than $50 a bale since Oc-

The New York Cotton Exchange

ately. The exchange at Dallas, Tex,
refused to close.
Frank J. Knell, president of the
New York exchange, said only that
numerous requests have beer re-

In an apparent move to prevent
panic selling by hard-hit cotton pro-

The disruption of cotton trading
in the last two weeks has been all
but unprecedented.

A story of how a Philadelphia
concern made a gross profit of
about $4,000 in selling 631 units
of surplus machinery that the Gov
ernment had sold for $3.50 as
scrap was unraveled today before
the House Surplus Property Com
mittee.
The surplus consisted of 631 trac-
tor power control units. These were
said to be in good condition and
scarce. and in high demand in the
machinery business.
Supposedly due to mixup OF the
code system used by Government
surplus property agencies, and other
misadventures, the committee was
told, the lot was sold for scrap in
stead. of as nearly new machines.
They were bought by Max Balls g.
Sons, Philadelphia junk dealers, who
bid $1659 a ton. An unsuccessful
bidder was the Erie Steel Co., also of
Philadelphia. which had offered
$3.50 a ton.

Big-ScaIe Speculation
In South Is Blamed
For Break in Cotton
Merchants, Doctors and
Everybody Else Reported
Playing the Market

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3d.
Speculation by farmers, mer-
chants, doctors and everybody
else all over the South" was
blamed here today for the col
lapse of the cotton market.
An authoritative source, who
asked that his name be withheld
said the break which has sent fu-
lures tumbling more than $50 a bale
in recent weeks, lis the same thing
that always happens sooner or later
in a speculators' market.
when the spectators are shaken
out of the market-and they're be-
ing shaken out-prices will be sta
bilized on basis of supply and de-
mand," he predicted. But specula-
ton, rather than supply and de-
mand. has been the basis of recent
prices"
The informant. who is close to all
phases of the cotton industry in the
deep South, painted this picture OF
the situation:
Farmers. merchants, doctors and
everybody else all over the South
have been speculating in cotton fu-
lures. A banker in a Louisiana town
says many farmers mortgaged not
only their crops, but their farms to
get in on the rising market. know
| of a town in Mississippi where
everybody and his brother was play
ing the market The same is true
all over the South.
when the prices began going
down, the banks started to call their
loans. Spectators were forced tc
put their cotton on the market. Be-
sides, many spectators who had nc
loans simply got caught and had to
liquidate. Any selling on the market
causes some other selling, and the
process grew like SNOWFALL"
Some sources here said another
influence which might have de-
pressed the market was the insist
ance of banks that mills and others
who had mortgaged spot cotton
stocks should Immediately hedge

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 30
Few of the politically wise here

They refer to the plurality rolled
up by J. Howard McGrath. then
Governor, in 1914, when he led his
Republican opponent by 1904
votes-10,000 more than President
Roosevelt received. This was huge
lead in a State which cast less than
300, 900 votes. Mr.. McGrath is now
the Democratic candidate for Sen
ator. He was elected Governor
three times, gave that job up a
year ago to accept appointment as
Solicitor General of the United
States and not long ago resigned
to take the Democratic nomination
for the Senate.
He is the bell wether candidate
for the Democrats in this campaign
and is expected to lead the rest of

Immediately put into effect wage
increases recommended by Fed

hour increase to all nonmessenger
employees and a 10-cent-an-hour
increase for messengers, both to
be retroactive to last June 2.
The union also demands the COM
pany negotiate Immediately to re-
place the contract which expired
October %. Chief union demands
for new contract are a 30-cent-

said the wage structure was too
complicated to contrast present
wages with demands.
The company contends that rate
increase for which it has applied
