Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The cotton mar
ket was easier during today's early trad
ing. It appeared that the scattering short
interest had been pretty well covered toward
the end of last week and after opening
barely steady at a decline of 10 to 27 points,
in response to weak Liverpool cables, active
months soon sold 37 to 30 points below Sat
urday’s closing with January touching 15.45
and May 15.62. There was scattering liqui
dation in advance of the government report,
while there was also southern and Liverpool
selling with some local pressure encouraged
by reports of unfavorable general trade and
industrial conditions.
Reports that advices received by the de
partment of agriculture estimated require
ments of American cotton by Germany at
not <nore than 700,000 bales for the season
even should German mills be aided by
American credits, may have led to some sell
ing on the early declines. There was enough
trade buying and covering to hold prices
around 15.45 c for January, However, and
part of the loss was recovered later. Busi
ness was quiet after the first halt nonr,
with traders waiting for the official esti
mate of the crop.
Reports of freer spot offerings in the
southwest were accompanied by scattered
Southern selling early in the afternoon, and
offerings increased on tiie publication of
the government report indicating a crop of
12,957,000 bales, excluding linters. This
was about 400,000 bales above the average
of private estimates and was followed by
a break to 15.23 c for January and 15.28 c for
March, or about 52 to 59 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 13.—Poor sales and
the general belief in a high crop estimate
from the government sent the price of cot
ton to lower levels today, the active months
losing 16. to 26 points in the first half hour
of business. Heavy rains in the belt were
regarded as unfavorable but did not more
than steady the market at the decline.
The market became very quiet, all classes
of traders holding off because of the bureau
report. At 11 o’clock the trading months
showed declines of 14 to 23 points.
The government’s crop estimate of 12,-
887.000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight
was considered larger than expected, but
Its immediate effect was a drop of only a
dollar a bale in the price of the most ac
tive months, January falling to 14.50 c. Aft
er recovering a few points the market fell
off moderately again and at 1:30 o’clock
the list was 47 to 52 points under the final
prices of Saturday. January traded down
to 14.44 c, which compared with 14.70 jftst
before the government figures were issued.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER •
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 13.—For a while
after the government’s estimate of the crop
today the cotton market acted surprisingly
steady in view of the fact that the figures
of 1” 98" 000 bales were far above average
expectations. Prior to the report at 1 o’clock j
prices made decline of 20 to 30 points.
Immediately after the report January
dropped from 14.70 to 14.12 after which
came small recoveries on realizing by shorts
but later Hie market turned soft under
general selling and late in the session the
list stood 15 to 72 points, under the final
prices of Saturday with January down to
14 12.
The government’s report is figured in 500-
• pound gross weight bales and is therefore,
not as large as it seems. Probably about
300 000 bales would have to be lopped off
to ’reduce the estimate to running bales.
However, compered with average expecta
tions, the figures are large and it must be
remembered that the government’s tenta
tive estimate of th ecrop following the Sep
tember 25th condition report was 12,122.000
will be a holiday in this (New
Orleans) market, owing to state elections.
Wednesday wil Iprobably bring a bearish
report on American consumption during No
vember from the census bureau, the report
being due on the opening. We are in
clined to think the government’s estimate of
today will cause further selling after it is
digested.

cents in New York, gives a promise of
yielding an eventual extremely handsome
profit.
Moss & Ferguson: “While cotton may
seek lower levels in the near future, we
prefer to keep our eye on the constructive
fatures and take the buying side in the
event of a further pronounced break. '
Hubbard Bros. & Co.:« “We advocate
that our customers buy moderate quantities
of cotton the way down for future profits.”
S. M. Weld & Co.: “We continue to ad
vise purchases on any good setbacks.”
Gwathmey & Co.: “We prefer purchases

Commodity Prices
Continue Downward
Even after thirty-one consecutive weeks
during which a comprehensive list of whole
sale quotations has disclosed a preponderance
of recessions, no check to the downward re
adjustmentjof commodity prices is percepti
ble. This week’s record, as compiled by
Dun’s Review, shows 73 declines and only
17 advances. Considerable Irregularity pre
vailed in grain, prices being mainly influ
enced by the fluctuations in the foreign de
mand, but the ultimate outcome was mod
erate improvement in corn, oats and rye,
and some loss in wheat and barley. The
unsettled situation in corn and light con
sumptive buying weakened the position of
hogs, and this had a depressing effect on
provisions. In live meats, a slightly firmer
tendency in beef contrasted with some yield
ing in sheep. Recent sharp price reduc
clines. due largely to foreign competition,
stimulated a demand for butter, and there
was a recovery of about two cents in ex
tras. Cheese ruled firm, but abnormally
high costs have curtailed consumption of
eggs, and the best selections reflected some
easiness. Medium and average quality of
ferings, however, scored more or less ad
vance. Continued adjustments in iron and
steel prices have been a feature, but a
somewhat better tone developed in the
miscellaneous metals. In textiles and hides
and leather. The undertone remains easy,
although fewer reductions now appear in
published quotations. This is not surpris
ing, in view of the, previous marked reces
sons.

crops and that the growers will lim
it their acreage next year are at
tracting attention among Bremen
cotton merchants.
A representative of the merchants
told the Associated Press today that
the output of Bremen cotton mills
now was 50 per cent normal,
but was greatly hampered by the
fuel shortage.
The greatest activity in the cot
ton industry is in south Germany,
where water power is available. Mill
owners have pooled their intere ts
and are operating a limited number
of mills on full time rather than
allow them to operate on part time.
The merchants say the mills have
bought all the cotton needed for
spring and most of the supply nec
ess'’—• to cover their summer needs
Consequently there are only a few
emergency sales.
There is general complaint among
the merchants about the failure of
Americans to deliver cotton prompt
ly because of steamer delays which
are said to be due to the limited oil
supply and poor steamers.
As the Bremen exchange forbids
in dealing in futures and requires
spot deliveries, merchants have been
greatly inconvenienced by the fail
ure of cotton to arrive at the time
promised. They frequently must buy
to supply orders with a loss in ex
change, and find themselves over
stocked when the cargoes finally ar
rive. ,

FIRST LEGISLATION
SOUGHT BY WOMEN
IS FORTHE HOME
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leaded Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—When
the American woman left “her
place in the home” on election day
she paved the way for the adoption
of a piece of legislation that will do
more for the home perhaps than any
one law in American history.
Early next week congress will con
sider the first legislative proposal
made by the women of America since
universal suffrage was granted. Not
only have the women done the un
precedented thing of asking for a
relatively insignifleent appropriation
—only four million dollars —but they
have pointed out how that four mil
lion dollars can be of as much or
more benefit to the American nation
as any other four million dollars in
the whole federal budget of four bil
lion dollars.
Briefly, the women ask that the
federal government, in co-operation
with the states of the union, shall
educate youn-, mother* in the mater
nity period so that they will not only
always have the proper knowledge of
hygiene before and after the birth
of their children but in needy cases
nurses and physicians shall be ready
to come to their aid instantly. Not
only have some pitiful cases of neg
lect in country districts especially
come to the attention of the women
who have Investigated these ques
tions, but statistics show that Ameri
ca lost two hundred and fifty thou
sand infants last year or a total of
twenty thousand a month, most of
whom might have been saved by
proper attention. Indede, in 1918,
twenty-three thousand mothers died
from causes that could have been
prevented. Fully eighty per cent of
the causes investigated in different
cases show that lack of care was the
principal reason for death.
Industrial Legislation
America has been far behind in
this kind of social legislation. The
United States > stands fourteenth in,
the list of civilized countries which
have taken up the problem. New
Zealand; which has had woman suf
frage longer than any other country,
stands at the top of the list and has
greatly reduced her infant mortality.
Great Britain also has been in the
front rank in this movement.
The Sheppard-Towner bill prepar
ed by Senator Sheppard, of Texas, a
Democrat, and Representative Town
er, of lowa, a Republican, would ap
propriate two million dollars at first
but with provision to increase it an
nually till it reaches four million
dollars and the states of the union
would be asked to appropriate dollar
for dollar in the same way that the
federal government and the states
have co-operated in building roads.
It is not compulsory—a state may
decline to co-operate but probably
not many of them will refuse.
Senate committee on public health
has reported the bill favorably and
Senator Kenyon, who has charge of
the agricultural bill being discussed
in the senate, has promised to give
way for consideration of the Towner-
Sheppard measure so that it will get
prompt attention. The women insist
that unless they get action this ses
sion, preferably next week, there will
not be another opportunity to get
the matter before various state leg
islatures until 1923, as some of them
meet only once every two years, and
usually during January and Febru
ary, so that postponement of this
subject until the extra session of
congress in the spring would be hurt
ful to the cause. The women leaders
declare that 250,000 deaths is too
much to allow delay—it is three
times the number of casualties on
the American battle front during the
war.
More Than Sixty Are
Indicted in New York
Building Investigation
NEW YORK. Dec. 11. —New
York’s “anti-building trust” ma
chine went into high speed Friday,
when more than thirtv indictments,
bringing the total above sixty, and
the disbanding of two contractors’
associations were announced ns di
rect results of grand jurv and joint

Another sensational development
included today charges by Samuel
Untermyer, committee counsel, that
“great financial and industrial pow
ers” of the country “through hired
propagandists and publicity agents”
have thrown themselves into the
fight to block the investigations of
the alleged building trust just as it
“is about to enter upon its most
crucial stage.”
Meantime, witnesses infornjed

UNCLE SAM WARNS
FERTILIZER MAKERS
ABOUT HIGH PRICES
(Continued from Page 1)
The department feels that this is a
very generous price for materials
that you have already purchased. It
believes that it is too high a price
for the market today, and too high
a price for you to carry as a fixed
price per unit for ammonia up to
July 1, 1921.
“The department expects you to
lower this price at the outset.
“The price you argue for potash,
$2.50 per unit, is believed to be much
above what is necessary for you to
charge to secure your 15 per cent
gross profit. The department will
expect you to revise and lower this
figure.”
“The larger manufacturers allege
that, in order to provide their enor
mous tonnage, it is necessary for
them to contract for a considerable
part of their raw materials several
months before their prices are set.
At this particular time, they claim
to have purchased or contracted for
a large part of the materials for
the spring trade of 1921 before the
beginning of the break in prices of
fertilizer materials.
The smaller manufacturer, ot
whom there are around 750, make
no such claim, but, on the contrary,
many of them have stated that they
were unable to quote prices because
they had not brought their materials
and did not know what they would
C °“As the figures submitted to the
department by larger manufacturers
themselves, show that the actual
cost to them of the ammonia and
potash already purchased, and the
probable cost of the additional ma
terial, they expected to purchase was
not above the average prices pre
vailing on September 25, above re
ferred to, they, after conference with
the department, decided to lower ac
cordingly the unit cost of potash
and of ammonia in determining the
prices of their mixed fertilizers. In
the meantime, however, the prices
of raw materials have continued to
decline, as forecasted in the de
partments letter with the result
that on November 15, the estimated
average purchase price of Ammonia
was $4.00 a unit, representing a
decline of $1.50 a unit since Sep
tember 25. Since November. 15,
there have been further substantial
reductions in the prices of raw ma
terials.
“In connection with the notations,
a further important situation has
developed, namely, that the larger
manufacturers, in determining the
prices of their mixed fertilizers,
have figured acid phosphate at a
price which is 20 cents per unit
lower than for the fall of 1920.
The trade journals, on the other
hand, show that the price of 68 per
cent Florida pebble phosphate rock
was quoted from $6.85 per ton in
June and $11.50 per ton in September
and that the basis has been changed
from f. o. b Tampa to f. o. b. mines,
making an additional difference of
about $1.20 per ton. They also show
that the quoted price of bulk acid
phosphate increased from $18.50 to
$20.00 per ton. The federal trade
commission, in its report on the fer
tilizer industry indicates that the
large fertilizer manufacturers have
practical control of the phosphate
situation through the ownership of
acid phosphate plants and of mines
and' factories and through the exis
tence of long time contracts at low
prices, with other than their own
mines.
“The department has urged the
mine-owners, the larger fertilizer
manufacturers and the producers of
acid phosphate to make some con
cession to the smaller manufactur
ers, by lowering the price at which
they can purchase rock and acid
phosphate.
“They reply that on account of the
strike in the Florida pebble district
in 1919, and the car shortage, the
stock of rock and acid phosphate are
so low that they have difficulty in
obtaining sufficient quantities of
these materials for their own use.
Apparently, the greater part of the
rock that is mined above the con
tract requirements of the larger
concerns is held for export, and a do
mestic buyer without a long time
contract is compelled to pay sll to
sl2 a ton as against $6 a ton, which
is about the average for domestic
contract rock.
“The principal acid phosphate
manufacturers stated that their price
to contract purchasers was material
ly lower than the quotations in the
trade journals, for non-contract or
cash purchases.”
They stated that practically their
entire production was sold under
long-time contracts, that they had
nothing to sell outside of these con
tracts and that the quotations in
the trade journals were based on re
sale lots where money was needed, >r
storage capacities had been exceeded.
It is evident, therefore, that the
needs of the larger manufacturers are
provided for, w’hereas, the source of
supply of the small manufacturers
is seriously curtailed and the prices
which the smaller manufacturers
have to pay greatly in excess of con
tract prices.
Within the past two weeks, how
ever, the acid phosphate price has
declined from S2O a ton to sl7 a
ton, on the basis of Baltimore quo
tations and the price will probably
continue to decline as the stocks on
hand are, in reality, large.
Information has reached the de
partment that not only is the cost
of material falling but that the cost
of manufacture is also decreasing.
Alleged Shoplifters
Confused on Names
Two young women, who gave their
names as Mrs. Ed Richards and Miss
Louise Brown when arrested by the
police on charges of shoplifting, and
who later apparently forgot what
names they had given, became con
fused in the city criminal court
Monday morning and did not know
which was which when addressed by
the court. They entered a plea of
guilty, however, and were each sen
tenced to pay a fine of SSO or serve
eight months at the state farm.

CARUSO BURSTS
BLOOD VESSEL
WHILE SINGING
NEW YORK, Dec. 11. —Enrico
Caruso, grand opera star, nurst a
small blood vessel in his throat while
singing in the Brooklyn Academy of
Music tonight.
Caruso had finished the first act
of the opera, when the accident oc
curred. The performance was stop
ped while physicians rushed to the
dressing room to care for the tenor.
Physicials said they did not believ
his condition serious. It was Caru
so’s second accident this week. In
a performance in New York he was
injured slightly when he fell on
a flight of stage stairs.
The audience tonight did not no
tice that anything had occurred when
the curtain went down at the end of
the first act. After an extended de
lay between acts the manager of
the theater announced that Caruso
had been injured. He saidkthe tenor
was anvious to continue if the pa
trons desired.
They shouted “No!” and the per
formance ended.
The accident which it was said
is not serious, occurred during the
first act of Donizetti’s “L’Elisir
D’Amore,” but the tenor did not stop
until the end of the act.
A physician in attendance then
told hi mit would be unwise to con
tinue, for if he did so, the results
might prove serious. In addition,
the blood in his throat interferred
with the singer’s vocalization.
The hemorrhages were similar to
those wffiich resulted from a rup
tured blood vessel while Mr. Caruso
was singing at the Metropolitan
opera house last Wednesday night,
Immediate Opening
Os Export Bank Will
Be Urged at Meeting
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 11.—Plans
for opening the Federal Internation
al Banking corporation immediate
ly in order to aid in financing this
year’s cotton crop, will be taken up
when the permanent organization
committee of the institution meets
here December 17, it was learned
tonight.
Formation of this company, which
is destined to revolutionize export
marketing of southern farm prod
ucts, according to its backers, au
thorized under the Edge act, was
accomplished when the minimum
amount of stock—s6,ooo.o90 —was
oversubscribed.
The corporation will extend long
time credits to foreign countries in
need of cotton and other agricul
tural products, thus creating an ad
ditional market for the south’s huge
cotton crop, its backers assert.
Whether the institution can be
put in operation in time to aid farm
ers dispose of their 1920 cotton crop
at a profitable price was a problem
that was worrying the - leaders to
night.
Proposed by Robert F. Maddox,
Atlanta banker, at the American
Bankers’ association conference in
Washington only a few weeks ago,
organization of the institution has
been rapidly consummated.
Tonight it stands ready for busi
ness, only the formality of open
ing its doors for business being
necessary to put it in operation.
This will be done when the perma
nent organization committee meets
here next Friday.
Americans Are Urged •
To Relieve Children
Os Central Europe
NEW YORK, Dec. 9. — The Euro
pean relief council recently organized
by combination of eight American re
lief organizations Thursday issued an
appeal to the American people to con
tribute $33,000,000 for food and medi
cal supplies for the children of east
ern and central Europe. This sum is
requested by the council for feeding
and caring for 3,500,000 children un
til the next harvest in September,
1921.
The appeal declared that economic
and crop conditions in parts of Eu
rope make famine with its terrible
train of diseases, a certain visitor un
til next harvest.
“The response of America must de
cide whether 3,500,000 children, in
acute distress, shall begin to be turn
ed away in January from more than
17,500 hospitals, asylums, clinics and
feeding stations dependent upon
American support,” said the appeal.
“There would be no tragedy in his
tory so sweeping or destructive of
those who can deserve no evil.
“America has not failed in the past
in great heartedness. She has never
had a more poignant call than this..”
The appeal is signed by Herbert
hoover as chairman and Franklin K.
Lane, as treasurer.
Argentina’s Foreign
Trade Growing Fast
BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 11.—Ar
gentina’s foreign trade during the
past six years has given the country
a favorable balance of approximate
ly $1,400,000,000, according to fig
ures just compiled. This exceeds
the entire favorable trade balance
built up in the history of the coun
try as an independent nation before
1915. The favorable balance reach
ed its height ,n 1919 when it amount
ed to $375,000,000, while estimates
place the balance for the present
year at about $100,000,000.
Farmers Are Urged
To Liquidate Loans
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—Farmers and
country banks of the Seventh federal
reserve district were urged today by
the Chicago Federal Reserve bank to
liquidate their loans. The appeal,
directed mainly to lowa farmers,
urged that the farmers sell their
crops to meet their debts. The bank
officials took the stand that farmers
should bear their share of declining
prices and that other industries are
feeling the effects of the readjust
ment just as keenly as farmers.
ALLEGED LAKEWOOD
BLACKMAIL CASES
PROBED AT HEARING
(Continued from Page 1)
er Camp had signed the affida\it,
but said that he, himself did not
sign it, although he was- willing to
do so. The witness was questioned
by Officer Ford, who asked if it was
not true that Mr. Striplin’s orders
were to run compromised couples out
ot the park and not to arrest them
for fear it would give Lakewood a
bad name.
Ex-Soldier Testifies
The -witness said he knew of no
such instructions.
R. R. Hobbs, an ex-service man,
taking vocational training in Atlanta,
was the next witness. He now lives
at 190 South Pryor street and in an
swer to questions by the committee,
established his good character as a
citizen.
Mr. Hobbs said that about two
weeks ago he was living at 99 Trin
ity avenue and that he discovered
two rooms in the house were used for
disorderly purposes. Being married,
he said, he did not want to bring his
wife there after she got out. of the
hospital, where she had been for
some time, so- he decided to report
the place to the police.
“I went to the station house and
told my story to the desk mar. in
the detective department on the sec
ond floor,” he said. “While I was
talking to him, Detective Waggoner
came in. He called me into another
room. There was a man with him
and Waggoner said: ‘That’s all right,
he is a police commissioner.’ I think
the man was Commissioner King. I
told my story in full to Detective
W’aggoner and he told me to go back
home and if any misconduct was go
ing on, to call him at Main 24. I
went straight back, found disorder
was going on and telephoned Main
24. Mr. Waggoner was not there,
but I told the desk man about it and
he said he -would tell Mr. Waggoner
as soon as he got back.
“I went back to the house and
waited. This was late in the after
noon. I stayed there all night, and
neither Detective Waggoner nor any
body else showed up.”
Commissioner King, who was in
the room, corroborated Mr. Hobbs’
story about the latter’s visit to po
lice headquarters. Mr. King stated
that right after Mr. Hobbs left, h&
got Mr. Waggoner to go with him to
see about his automobile, which had
been stolen. This, he said, probably
explained Mr. Waggoner's absence.
Before excusing Mr. Hobbs, the
committee took the name of his land
lady at 99 Trinity avenue and she
will be subpoenaed.
Rev. J. W. Ham on Stand
F. M. Corley, 155 Venable street, a
cousin of Clarence Hart, told the
committee that he was in Hart’s
room room the night in September
when Detectives Terry and Howell
confiscated Hart’s whisky. The de
tectives are charged with having
kept the major portion of the liquor
they took from Hart. He said he did
not see either of the officers that
night; that he was upstairs watching
Hart carry the whisky down to the
automobile and that after seven
cases had been carried down Hart
came running up the steps and said
“Lon Terry has got my whisky.”
The witness said he heard a mfen’s
voice tell Hart to “get up those
steps and out the front door if you
know what’s good for you.” Corley

said he later came downstairs and
saw an automobile backing out of the
alley. He further declared he heard
a voice which he could identify a.*-,
that of Griff Freeman, tell Dick Mes
ser, Hart’s companion, to “ett out ot
the car.” Messer got out, he said
and the car drove off rapidly.
Questioned by Chairman Hatcher
the witness said he had had case.-,
made against him for having whisky
but that he had been acquitted aftei
36 witnesses testified as to his
character.
The Rev. John W. Ham, pastor oi
the Baptist Tabernacle, followed Mr.
Corley on the witness stand.
“I have the very highest reaped
for the police department,” said Mi-
Ham, in a general statement as to
his reasons for appearing before the
committee. “It is not hard to believe
that with the measly salaries paid
these officers, and with their con
stant exposure to corrupting in -
fluences, that occasionally one should
fall by the wayside. As a rule they
are men of very high character an:
in my dealings with them I havi
found them honest and efficient.”
Defends Police
Dr. Ham’s testimony consisted
principally of a statemient as to hi.-
general impressions of the police de
partment gained through constani
association.
“It is a strange anomaly,” he said
‘‘when crooks and pimps turn up a. 1 -
honest men to vituperate the police
department and it looks like an
organized attack on law and or-'
tier. There is every reason to be
lieve that these crookss and pimps
have been disappointed in their
treatment at the hands of the po
lice and are trying to get revenge-
I think Officer Terry should be dis
charged from the police force. This :
would have a good eeffect on the'
general public, which, through his
presence oh the force, may have
gained the impression that the de
partment is made up of crooks and
boot-leggers.
“Whether it has ever been proven
that he was a bootlegger, or not, the
fact remains that he was found with
liquor in his possession and this
should certainly be ground for his
discharge from the department.
Officer Terry’s record reflects dis
credit on the rest of the department
and it cannot be denied that when
he takes the witness stand in any
case or Investigation, his record
will count against him.
“I think, also, that your commit
tee should deeply consider the char
acter of the witnes.es examined in
this investigation before reaching <r
decision.”
Attorney Chambers than question
ed Dr. Ham as to the statement
made in his sermon Suntday night, to
the effect that “somebody on thS?
detective force has certainly been~
negllgent of his duty In failing 4(7-
discover and ferret out the gaml>-x
hng dens turned up tv SoTicltoi '
Boykin,”
“In that regard,” said Dr. Ham
it certainly seems that the detee
tive force should have discovered
these places long ago. I think it
very commendable that the solicitor
general should go out of his wav.,
to arrest these crooks and if, as hes
says, they have been operating here
for two years, the detectives should
have discovered them Ipng ago.” ;;
