New York. Sept. 28- American cotton growers, hopeful of price In creases as a result of the pound Sterling'* devaluation and the boom on the raw cotton markets last week, find little encouragement In Wall street. Rather, cotton brokers and econo mists are firmer in their opinion that the export cotton market will t*hd to decline and the cotton pro duction will have to be nrv»- close ly oonfined to domestic consump tion. The oxport market will declirto they hold. If the the pound remains down or goes lower, because costs In India and Egypt, important growers, will drop. with costs down, they will be in a more fav orable International competitive position and will Increase produc tion, despite a glutted world mar ket. England’s mills will try to buy cotton in markets that have a simi lar currency level. With the Ameri can dollar high, they will be in clined to keep out of this market, since our costs also will be higher Egyptian and India currency, how ever. is theoretically pegged to the pound. In those two countries the mills thus can buy on ati even basis. The current explanation today of the recent higher prices for raw cotton was that shorts in London were forced to cover, sending prices higher than the basic economy of the situation indicated. Whether England prices will go higher re mains to be seen, but cotton econo mists pointing to the huge supplies of the commodity, see no reason to •xpect important price increases. The world produces about 25.000. 000 bales of cotton annually. The United States is responsible for more than half this production. Egypt. India and Russia are the next most important producers.

Coolidge Will Not Get In ’32 Race, He States (Greensboro Newsj Washington, Sept. 29.—As was the case In 1928, Calvin Coolidge does not choose to run for president. Sil ent Cal today took the public into his confidence in the current num ber of the Saturday Evening Post, the former president adjuring his party to uphold the good right arm of Mr. Hoover, giving him the nom ination next year in keeping with the traditions and practices of the Republican party. Mr. Coolidge made it plain that he certainly would spend no time now in an en deavor to acquire something he had previously rejected. The Coolidge pronouncement created a stir among the politicians, and the word was passed among Washington correspondents that they would be privileged to use a limited number of words from the Post article without infringing the copyright laws, Mr. Coolidge concluded with this admonition to his party: ‘‘It has long been the practice to give a president in office a second nomination. It is a practice that has been beneficial to the country. Any other course is open to grave objections and in danger of being attended by serious consequences. The great safeguards of order and precedent, of respect for public of fice, of obedience to duly consti tuted authority, ought not to be weakened. In an emergency like the .present the responsible elements of our party should offer a solid front in their support of the president. That is the course I propose to pur sue." in line with the Coolidge sentiment Senator Fess, chairman of the Re publican national committee, made this contribution: “The utterance of Mr. Coolidge is no surprise to those who know him and who have any knowledge of American political history. The Re publican party always renominates its presidents. There never has been an exception of that kind, save where the president said during his term that he would not be a can didate for re-election, like in the case of Hayes, or in cases like Johnson and Arthur. who were elevated from the vice presidency and were not elected to the presi dency. "It should quiet the agitation of the anti-administration element, who are opposed to the renomino tion of the president. It is one of : the Items which will Insure the al i but unanimous renomination of : Mr. Hoover. I say all but unanl 'mous, because Wisconsin of course will send a hostile delegation. It also will be a determining factor a Mr. Hoover's re-election.” Most of the Democrats approach ed on the subject today were more laconic, and less kind. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democra ! tic national executive committee. declined to take a hand in nominat ing the Republican candidate fo; I the presidency, and private Demo ' cratic comment was to the effec ; that Mr. Coolidge had done the Democrats a good turn if, as the * Republicans claimed, the forme; president had insured the nomina tion of Mr. Hoover. They said the; were making arrangements to elect their national ticket next year, and the renomination of Mr. Hoover would simplify matters. A Demo cratic joke was that with the an nouncement that Mr. Coolidge did not choose to run stocks moved on the exchanges to new record low ground. Some of the progressive ^senators, like Brookhart and Fra zier, were also displeased with the Coolidge move. They thought what the former president said did not add anything to the availability of Mr. Hoover, as candidate for the presidency again. As they see ii Mr. Hoover "will not do at all.” In Keeping With 1931 Cotton PAY-DAYS! an all time l€W LOW PRICE For this Fine grade of overalls Thor#* Extra fu_ wear in every pair or PAY DAYS BOYS' - PAY DAYS at 7S< It Pays to Shop qt Compare* Our Values!
