REPORT ON COTTON FUTURES. j Congressman Burleson Attacks the President For Withholding It. Cotton futures and their alleged effect upon the prices of cotton were aired again in the house of representatives last Thursday. Mr. Burleson of Texas, principal antagonist of cotton exchanges, who maintains that they have a deleterious effect tut the cotton pritduoer. called up his resolution calling on the secretary of commerce and labor to transmit to the house, the report of the bureau of corporations on the subject based upon an investigation directed by resolution of the house, passed a year ago. f Advocating its adoption, Mr. Burleson said the report had been promised him by department officials at intervals during this congressional session, but he had not succeeded in getting it and his resolution was intended to bring it out. He had been informed that the report was in the hands of the president and while he would not say that the document would be blue-penciled, its retention was a "piece of arbitrary meddlesomeness, for which there was no * warrant." Mr. Mann of Illinois, opposed the resolution, declaring that its passage would constitute a direct reflection upon the president. Under the law the chief executive was charged with the duty of passing upon reports ^ such as this and making public such portions of them as he deemed for the best Interest of the public. It was only a fair and proper presumption that the president, in due time would make public the report or any part that in his discretion he decided WHOSE COTTON? ON February 8. one bale of cotton was left on our platform. We do not know who the owner is, but we want the owner to call for the cotton and we will deliver same on proof of ownership and payment for this ad\ ei tiseinent. YORKV1LLE B. & M.

Mr. Lovering of Massachusetts said he was in favor of the resolution, but from another standpoint than that of t Mr. Burleson. He was a cotton spinner and although he understood that the investigation had been confined to the operation of exchanges alone and not to combinations of cotton producers, he thought the house was entitled to know the results of the inc vestigatlon. Mr. Fitzgerald of New York opposed the resolution. Mr. Burleson, he said, through his influence with the administration, which was greater than most people thought, had been able to direct the investigation exclusively to constituents of his (Fitzgerald's) who were buyers of cotton and naturally interested in keeping the price of cotton down. He wanted the investigation extended to the constituents of Mr. Burleson, who, as sellers, were interested in boosting prices and were engaged in a conspiracy to restrict the acreage of cotton to that end, and thus raise the 4* , price of cotton goods to the poor consumers. "The trouble is." retorted Mr. Burleson, "that the gentlemen's constituents are not buyers at all. but manipulators, who operate prices so as to reduce the price paid to the producer and raise it to the purchaser $40 or $50 a bale." without action the resolution went TEACHERS' EXAMINATION.
