tile house today as a substitute for
the bill already passed by the senate.
Representative Never (if South Car

of the agricultural committee, includ
ed In his favorable report a compre
hensive analysis of cotton exchange

At Its True Value.
The hill, says the report, ‘rerog

representative of the true value of
spinnahle cotton and levels its pro ;
hibltlon against those exchanges only
the value of whose contracts is sus

Such a tax In the judgment of the
