Dealing in these and other com- modities has felt the change in public attitude. Proposal of the New York cot- ton exchange to establish trading in cotton mill securities is said to heve received widespread ap- proval in the textile sections of New England and the South. Yields on many mill stocks are said to be high as compared with the majority of listed issues—and hig yields always are an attraction for investors, *CHANGES OWN ATTORNEY, Dismisses Counsel, | Case Into His Own Hands to Escape Noose The plan also would benefit the mills by establishing an open mar-,| B ; i ket for their securi The past| RIVERSIDE, Cal.
