Aug. 19.—Officials in the employ of the department of agriculture are criticised for "impro priety. discrimination and irregulari ties in financial transactions" in the majority report of the Moss investi gating committee which was presented to the house tmday. The report de clares that in Irrigation and drainage projects the committee has observed "the great degree to which this impot tant work was permitted to be subordi nated at several stages of /ts develop ment, to the advancement of other work in which individual members of congress were particularly interested." The vascillating course of the de partment in the Florida Everglades is described by the committee as “dif ference of opinion between members of congress and the state authorities of Florida, with the irreconcilable diffei ences in the opinions and conclusions of engineers tn the division ./ drainage as another contributing cause." Regarding the famous Everglades in vestigation which was suppressed afte" it was made out ostensibly by the de paitment. the repo l l says that "the circular was objectionable to certain persons who were offering lands for sale. The same interests which made this objection to the circular had been guilty of circulating highly extrava gant statements in praise of the Eve:- glades lands and falsely attributing the authorship to Secretary Wilson."

While Liverpool, cables rallied after a weak start the cot ton market here moved independently at the opening, beginning i to 6 points und r Saturday’s closing under pressure from spot room trade. Reports of rain over I the Texas belt added firmness to the mar- ' ket later during the early trading With- | in a few minutes after the opening Mc- Fadden interests were heavy sellers and [ sold the market off 8 to 13 points in most • active positions. After the call the ring ■ crowd and commission houses were heavy | buyers and through their aggressiveness - prices rallied back toward the early | prices. The uptown crowd and Waldorf interest were good buyers, which was thought to ; be short covering Also large spot in- ; terests were credited with buying at times, but were openly offering, and through this heavy buying prices during ; the afternoon session quickly regained the early decline, with prices 8 to 11 points above the opening figures. The market was given strength laier. on report that the eastern belt is deteriorating, while Texas shows some improvement. It is believed that the next two weeks will de termine to a great extent what the trade expects, and there Is a hesitancy among the average trader* to await further de velopments.
