Heard ef Agreement
"On January S" said Secretary
Wallace "I heard that some sort of
agreement had been signed by 3. Of-
den Armour and by th stockholders
of Morris at Co. I called Armour
Co. at Chicago and aakad whether
such an agreement bad been signed.
and waa told that It had but that Ita
terms had not yet been put Into ef
feet. I told representatives of Ar-
mour V Co and Morris Co. that
formal proceedings would be insti
tuted aa I had previously stated to
them and our attorneys at oaca began
to prepare the complaint which was
now oelnf lasued.
"Above all there la a" vital princi-
ple Involved which can net be ig-
nored it will eliminate one of the
five largest packers in the United
Stat and In my opinion It may re-
sult In materially lessenlnf competi-
tion among- the buyer of Uve stock
at the various markets.
"The live stock market la very sen-
sitive. By the simple act of. refrain-
ing from sending their buyers into
ths yards promptly ea time of any
of the heavy morntnf runs either of
the larfe packers can very materially
depress the market. Any act there
fore which materially increases the
buyinf percentage of either ef th
larger packers puts It In his power
to substantially lessen competition
and depress prices- Producers of live
stock need all th competition that
now exists."
United Pre Report
CHICAGO. Feb. . Purchase of
Morris & Co. packer by Armour will
fo through despite opposition of Sec
retary ef Agriculture Wallace the in-
terested parties here declared today.
Wallace's move they believe will
merely postpone closlnf of the deal
until after March 4 when cons reus ad
Jonraa preventing an Investigation by
this session of congress at least which
Is highly satisfactory to th Deckers.
At th hearing on April t th pack-
era are confident they will be able to
show to the satisfaction of th secre-
tary ef agriculture that the deal Is not
in violation of the packer control law.
Demands for a congressional investi-
gation of the proposed merger recently
became insistent and Wallace's move
packers believe will quiet the de-

Associated Press Report. t . '
WASHINGTON Feb. The Sharp
fall In cotton price which befanMn

than a year was due to the feneral
deflation the great increase in nif n
priced Inventories and the subsequent
"buyer strike" tne leaerai iraae com
mission set forth in a report submit
ted today to congress. The price in
quiry was made by th commission In
accordance with a resolutloa passed
by congress last March and th pres-
ent preliminary report It was said.
would be followed by another dealing
particularly with operator Q. tne cov-
ton axchanare.
The post-war pHo deflation the
commission described aa of world-wide
character affecting the commodities in
thla country in varying degrees and
cotton for whtch prtoea had gone

ether in tn low ievi qi pnue
reached.
Supply and Demand.
The meat important and Immediate
factor In the decline however the
eenunlMion found to b in maraea
increase In supplies and decrease in
demand." The report went Into mar
ket conditions during the war period
and Immediately after which brought
cotton price up to the peak In April
120. SuDPly and demand were found
te have been the contrelllnf factors
throughout with th high price level
prevailing la ms-JU. aitrisutea in pari
In th expectation that there would be
werkt shortage of oocten.
In the subsequent recovery cotton
prices "in money" since August lJl
have been above the 1913 level th
report set forth and measured in com.
modUle "either slightly below or more
recently considerably above the real
exchaiura value of cotton In that year
wmie H mus appears mi cuiivn
prices compared with the general
level of prices are not -depressed at
the present time this does not mean.
the report aald. that cotton pricea were
at a level which affords a compensa
tion te the grower which Justifies such
an extensive use ef land and labor in
Its production."
Tumtnf to a discussion or cotton
future trading under the cotton
future act the commission found that
the law "apparently has brought
about a marked improvement tn th
methods of trading on future ex-
changes." As to the provision of th
sellers' option in futures contract
however. Dermittlna: delivery of any
one or more of 10 grades with a price
adjustment to equalise the commis
sion expressed tne opnuon tnai -eitect
of these options on the part of th
seller la generally to make tne rutures
price lower than It probably would be
if a corresponding buyer option were
used Instead."
Reporting that according to th best
data available fer the last three years
future Price hav been generally
lower than spot prices the commission
&ST1
staled that th matter of fundamental
importance in connection . with the
exercise ef th sellers option waa th
relation between the two price. While
other factors were recognised as . te
th absence of parity between future
and spot prices the situation general
ly wa cited aa hevinf a "probable
tendency to affect unfavorably the
price received by producer of cot-
ton." This logically would be the
ease the oemmlsslon said because ol
the fact that "spot price are hugely
quoted an the baala of futures and
probably theykre absolutely Influenced
by them te some extent."- j. i
