e New York Cotton Exchange,
arsh is to make a preliminary
'^position of hia case against the
* n company and other firms.
He and Clayton then will be given
liberty to cross examine each other.
Again the committee proposes to
sit as a jury, interested in the long
standing controversy between the
rival cotton marketing experts only
so far as it bears no what happened
to overturn cotton prices in 192”.
Vinson, like Rankin, who preced
ed him in questioning the Houston
cotton factor, hammered, away on
the theory that transactions of the
firm in spot and future cotton, ad
mittedly the largest dealings of
record over several sessions, oper
ated to beat down the price received
by cotton growers for their product.
It was brought out that the Hous-
ton firm- hail taken up low (Trade
cotton in the South in 1927 season
to prevent its being offered in New
were York against the March future in
which the firm was “long.”
The witness said it was “not fair
to imply” that the purchase of cot
ton in the South at that time was
for the purpose of influencing the
market and depressing the price re
ceived by cotton growers.
“Both parties *ould have lost if
it had gone to New York,” he said,
explaining that both his firm and
the grower would have suffered
price losses due to prevailing mar
ket conditions.”
Who is going to win the Chrysler?
That is the question everyone is
speculating on right now, but one
can only guess as the Treusure QJiest
at the Exchange Bank hold* tko xec-
ret, and the chest won’t talk. Here
are the possible car winners, Mrs.
Horne, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Gholson, Mrs.
Dozier, Mrs. Dennard, Miss Cook,
Miss Bridwell and Miss Barnes, how
ever their winning depends entirely
on what amount of work is done this
week.
Family Pride Important Factor
Family pride will ptay an import
ant part in the closing hours of this
great Treasure Hunt and the Union
Recorder is proud of its personnel of
members. Among them will be found
the best and most familiar names of
Baldwin, Wilkinson and Hancock
counties. Both relatives and friend*
of these members, will want to see
their favorite, finish as near the top
as possible. To accomplish this re
quires credit givi~-»- assistance before
8:00 P. M. Satan.../ night.
Many people watt until the last
minute to help on a Treasure Hunt
of this kind. A good worker can
write us much business the last week
as they have been able to write dur
ing the whole of the preceding weeks
if they can make their friends under-1
stand that this help is necessary to
put them over the top.*
