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.

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.

No. 3. %61 % c - 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. .

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. —Cotton production this year will amount to 6,213,262,000 pounds, equivalent to 12,987,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight, exclusive of linters, the department of agriculture announced today in its final estimate of the season.

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. Bremen Is Interested In Reports Being Made On American Cotton BREMEN, Dec. 13.—Rumors re ceived here that the American gov ernment may assist the cotton grow ers in the United States to hold their 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. , The hottest and coldest spots in America are under one roof—in the laboratory of an electrical firm at Schenectady, N. Y. Queen Mary, of England, is an expert milliner. Pipe smoking is increasing in pop ularity among women. 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 legislative committee, investigations. 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 the committee that marble contract ors in New York and elsewhere ex ercised a virtual monopoly on their line of business through city and national marble industry employers’ associations having reciprocal agree ments in effect with the Building Trades Employers’ association and the Building Trades Council by which competition was< virutally an nihilated and union labor put on and taken off jobs almost at will. Payments mounting into the thousands of dollars by the Marble Industry Employers’ association to W. J. Bowman, president; T. C. Preece, and William Dobson, secre tary of the Bricklayers. Masors and Plasters’ International union, for “extraordinary and special counsel and advice,” amounting “practically to gratuities.” featured testimony before the committee late in the day. fetS- New Faces for the Movies Popular Players Co., Has Place lor Every Age, Type and Nationality.

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. Senator McCormick To Visit Italy ROME, Dec. 13.—Count Sforza, Italian foreign minister, has been informed that United States Sena tor Medill McCormick will arrive in Rome, December 28, to continue con versations they began in London re cently relative to Italo-American re lations. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1920. 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 Classified Advertisements WANTED HELP —Male.

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.” ;; Japan is covered with immense' orchards of mulberry trees for the raising of cocoons for .the silk in dustry.
