Y. COTTON EXCHANGE Says it is Run in tho Interest of the Speculators Rather than in the In terest of the Producer and Manu facturer. Richmond, Va., May 18.?The fea ture of the first day's session of Un American Cotton Manufacturers' As sociation was a heated discussion this afternoon between Arthur Marsh, president of the New York Cotton Fx- ! change, and Lewis W. Parker, of Greenville, S. C, chairman of the com mittee on relations with cotton ex changes. The occasion was the result of practically an open rupture of the strained relations which have existed for some time between the associa tion and the exchange. Mr. Parker's assertion that the New York Co!ion Exchange caters to speculators rather than to the needs of legitimate bus!, ness and that the prices of cotton have been manipulated by members of the exchange, to the great detri ment of both spinners and producers, was cheered to the echo by the con vention. President Marsh warmly de fended the exchange, pointing out that it is an association of merchants Had ing in cotton, with rules in the inter est of the merchants rather than in that of the manufacturer or the pro ducer. The convention decided with Mr. Parker, adopting the report of the committee unanimously and continu ing the committee for further con ference with representatives of the exchanges and with instructions that if relief is not given it shall sec. a remedy through legislative channels.

THE COTTON MARKET. * * *************** Now high records have been estab lished in tin- cotton market almost daily of late and the July delivery was finally forced above 16 cents fol lowing a rtllher sharp setback at the start of the week. Tin- early decline was due lamely to an active liquidat ing movement on the part of the load ing bull interest, and the professional element were also aggressive sellers on the theory that a good reaction was in order alter the practically uninter rupted advance of the last two months. Moreover, the Liverpool Cables at the opening came lower than expected and private advices from abroad were gen erally of a bearish character, while continued favorable weather reports from the South also served to accel erate the downward tendency of quo. tat ions. Even during this period of de pression however, there were plain indications that the market was still under strong control as values were quick to rally whenever support was given, and later a very brisk recov ery occurred in the face of further liquidation of July by the long ac count. The offerlngu emanating from this source were readily absorbed ow ing to the eagerness of short sellers to cover their outstanding commit ments, the minor that about 25,000 bales will be shipped out of the local stock causing u good deal of nerv OttSUC: s among these interests, since the (eitideated supply has been de creasing very rapidly of late and is now down to about 100,000 bales against fully 220,000 bales a year ago. The unmistakable firmness of the spot situation was also a factor aiding in the rise throughout the option list, while the strength and activity of the stock market and the prospects of a revival in general trade combined to Stimulate renewed aggressiveness on the part of those operating for higher prices. Moreover, there were further complaints of dry weather in the east ern and central parts of the bolt, al though in the inain crop reports were distinctly encouraging and not a few people contend that the outlook is the best at this lime for two years past. Advices from Texas indicate most promising conditions as that Statt" litis had ample moisture and the dry, warm I weather recently prevailing will do] much toward forcing a rapid growth , of the plant, Continued favorable do- ' vnlopmciits in that section will remove tie- greatest obstacle to a full yield; y? i it is argued by many that every season must have its crop "scare." and that with tho first real had news there would very likely Spring up an active demand for the distant deliv eries.
