Big Aid To Southern Fanner A bill described by its author as designed to “wipe out the manipula tion now being carried on by the speculators" on the cotton exchange, was introduced last week by Con gressman Cnrl Vinson, Tenth District representative. The measure would combine essen tial operating clauses of the cotton futures act “together with the full text” of the grain futures act as “adapted to cotton exchanges.” Vinson said the primary effort of this would be to place conduct of on exchanges under super vision of the secretary of agriculture. The bill also would prohibit, for the purpose of publication, the trans mission through the mails or by other means of communication, any private estimates of the acreage, condition or probable yield of the cotton crop. Vinson said the bill also would raise the standard of cotton to be delivered on the exchange and pro hibit the tender and repeated re- tender of the same cotton. He declared that the measure was introduced because of the “wide spread and persistent complaints that have been received by congress re gardiiig the disastrous manipulation that has been and still is being prac ticed on the cotton exchanges to the pronounced detriment of the farm- “This measure will wipe out the manipulation now being carried on by the speculators on the exchange and in my judgment it will do more to enable the farmers to secure jk re munerative price for their cotton tiu:n any of the proposed farm re lief bills now pending b-'/fre con gress. “The price that the furnv r will re ceive for his cotton will be more bared on the law of supply and de mand and not upon a price fixed by the cotton manipulators."
