Kennedy, of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce, in answering a criticism from Bush Stroup, treasurer of Cleveland rouuty. In a letter to Senator F. M.

"The stock held at mills and in pub lic storage in the United Htatee on May .'SI amounted to .1,326,803.' bales, the heaviest on record. The cotton was evidently held with the expectation that (he conclusion of peace would result in a greatly increased demand. This in creased demand has not materialized and probably a large part of the Stuff has been thrown on the market." 'the Department of Commerce denies the charge that any branch nf the gov ernment has singled out cotton as a large item in its efforts to lower the scale of living prices.

Of course, the lower price in Liverpool would si m ulate buying, in which ease the other factor would not be the same. "One factor in tha deeline in price is the decreased consumption according to the annual cotton review in the Com mercial and Financial Chronicle for August 30, the eonsuuiyption daring the year ended July 31st, being as follows: United States, 1P18, 7,17:lA4fl bales.
