Heflin said the present cotton crop would be exsausted by July 1, and there would be no more planting be cause cotton growers are “financially ruined.” A resolution introduced by Heflin called for ihe appointment of a senate committee to invesitgate the relations , of transactions for future delivery’ on the cotton exchanges .and boards of trade in the United States to prices of cotton and grain. The committee would hold Itbarings In New York,! New Orleans, Chicago and Washing-, ton. Heflin charged the number of bales of cotton involved In transactions on the codon exchanges for future de livery “exceeds by ten to fifteen times all the cotton raised in the United States for the fame ’ period.” Heflji said the cotton exchange and the Chicago board of trade “in Insure the OOQtOiO of this deficiency was attribut able to the activities of the presetil I ortlef to more effectually adtulnlstratlon. domination of prices and I the market necessities” k< ^|R.
