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?
