WEATHER OFFICIAIjH SCOFE
AT FAR-AHEAD PREDICTIONS
l‘ay No Attention to Predictions of Next
Winter’s Weather. They Say.
Washington. Nov. N.— Pay no atten
tion to forecasts of next winter’s weath
er or predictions of weather, conditions
for long periods in the future. is the
advice of the Weather l’ureau.
A prediet ion from New England that
the ’’coming winter will he the. coldest
and snowiest winter in history” in that
section o fthe country has led the gov
ernment officia's to disclaim any re
sponsibility for the forecast. The
Weather Bureau does not attempt to
issue predictions even of a general
character for weeks or months in ad
vance. The subject of forecasting for
seasons or considerable periods ahead
has long engaged the i attention of
meteorlogieal scientists, biit thus far.
weather experts here say. no laws of
sequence have been discovered wher-by
long-range forecasts of a reliable
character can be made.
Reputable scientists throughout the
world agree that the science has not ad
vanced to the point where that can be
done. Thus the government experts
throw down the predictions of ‘‘go#'-*
bone weather prophets” and the fore
casts which appear in almanacs and
calendars a year in advance.

MORE OPINIONS ABOUT
COTTON TRADING ACT
Witnesses so Far Have Expressed Wide
Difference of Opinion About Changes
to the Act.
Washington, Nov. S. —The Federal
trade Commission today ‘heard further
opinions on the probable effect of pro
posed changes in the futures trading act.
from representatives of various branches
of the cotton industry at the concluding
session of the hearing Conducted to ob
taiu information requested by the Sen
ate.
Witnesses appearing at the sessions
which began Tuesday have expressed .a
wide difference of opinion over the effect
the proposal to permit delivery of cotton
on future contracts at points outside of
New York. Most of them. however, have
opposed any change in the present form
of contract or of the law.
.las. K. Latham, of Greensboro. X. <
a member of the New York Exchange
while doubtful as to the feasibility of fi
nancing Southern delivery, was in favor
of the principle. He did not foresee de
pression of the market resulting from
such an arrangement, and thought on
the contrary tlm-t if it could be worked
out it would improve the contract by pro
viding greater opportunity of dealing in
it. He expressed the opinion, that the
fear that “their manipulations” would be
made more easy, was a "fear rather than
anything else.” He also was opposed to
any radical change in the number of de
liverable grades.

His headquarters, he announced, were

one pupil. He shortly abandoned the

BAILEY DESIROUS OF

That Mr. Bailey will not be a candi

advisable for him to notify his friendh
of this decision. For his friends have

’Hie extent of the impression that he

GERMAN SHIPPING SUFFERS
FROM FINANCI \L COLLAPSE
Collapse of the German Mark and Labor
Troubles the Cause.
Hamburg. Nov. B. —G»v nauy's ship
building activity was short-lived, 'i’he
terms of the Versailles Treaty, which
deprived Germany of all her large com
mercial ships, brought many shipyards
into existence and started a general
construction boom. But the collapse of
the mark, with consequent difficulties
between labor and employers, and the
troubles builders found in financing
purchases of raw materials, called a
sudden halt.
Germany had to give up to its for
mer enemies all of its ships ’arger than
1.600 tons, and half of its ships with a
tonnage between 1.600 and 1.000. Oulv
ships suitable for coastwise shipping re
mained.
Roughly a total of 4.000.000 tons of
German shipping was turned over. As
there had been a heavy loss of German
ships in the war. there were only 600.-
000 tons left after the terms of the Ver
sailles Treaty were executed.
Xew ships were built, and Germans
bought ships back from their former
enemies until the German merchant
fleet now has 2.000.000 jtons of bottoms,
which is less than half the pre-war size,
find less than 5 percent of the merchant
shipping of the world.
The government gave large sums to
encourage ship-building, supplying two
tliiriD of, the cost. But German money
fe’l in value so rapidly that govern
ment appropriations depreciated before
construction was completed on many of
the ships. Iron and coal prices in Ger
many r ise higher than world prices,
and the general depression of world
trade Caused many ships to lie idle in
German harbors, just ns elsewhere.
Shipowners today are scarcely ab.e to
make operation expenses and have noth
ing left for building programs. German
exports are now worth only about 100.-
000.000 gold marks monthly, which is
about one-tenth of the pre-war figures.
Shipping circles are hoping for a re
sumpti 111 of the American grain trade to
Europe and a general impr Cement in
the wor d trade situation us an offset to
the hard blow which the German in
ternal situation has struck at ship
building and ship operation.
