NEW YORK, July 26.—Responding to
easier cables and generally favorable weath
er, the cotton market opened 10 to 22 points
lower and after a slight rally that carried
October up from 32.80 to 32.97 and De
cember from 31.08 to 31.23, based on buying
by trade and Japanese interests, turned
heavy again under extensive local selling due
on Sunday’s fine weather map and more
bearish crop advices. October dropped to
32.63, December 30.80 and January 30.05,
or 39 to 52 points under Saturday’s close.
Increased offerings of new crop were re
ported from Texas and of old crop from the
eastern belt but the market, nevertheless,
became firmer at noon, rallying about 25 1
points from lowest on New Orleans buy
ing and covering of October shorts, which 1
materially increased the premium of that
month over laster positions. October ad
vanced to 32.86 and December to 31c.
Steadiness continued until midafternoon,
when active Wall street selling in connec
tion with weakness of the stock market
and renewed pressure from loca Ibear in
terests caused another break that forced
prices off below the lowest levl of the
forenoon and from 42 to 57 points under
Saturday’s close, October selling around ;
32.57 c and December 30.71 c.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, July 26.—Lower prices '
-opened the new week in the cotton market,
heavy selling being felt on the first call and
pressure continued during the first hour of
trading so that the active months were
sent 49 to 67 points under the close of
Saturday, October dropping to 31.78. Fa
vorable weather in the belt, poor cables and
expectations of bearish private reports on
condition were mainly responsible for bear
ish sentiment.
A somewhat better feeling regarding
E’uropian politics, the forecast of showery
weather for the eastern belt and talk of a
rising spot basis, caused some little covering
of short contracts and a moderate fresh 1
demand for long account. J.arer in the
morning October stood at 32. We and the de
cline on the list had been reduced to 17 to 30
points.
In the late trading the market turned
weaker than ever, in sympathy with lower
stock and grain prices and talk of higher
money rates. The list fell off to declines
of 67 to 72 points, reducing October to
31.61. Toward the close the tone was ,
' somewhat steadier because of an extensive ,
demand from early short sellers who wanted ,
their profits. i

GRAIN
CHICAGO, July 26.—Sharp setbacks in the
value of wheat took place today largely
as a result of advices indicating black rust
would not cause any large impairment of
yield. Opening prices which ranged from
3c to 4c lower, were followed by material
further breaks.
Wheat dosed weak, 7%c to 8c net lower.
Excellent weather conditions and liberal
receipts had a bearish effect on corn. After
opening 1c to l%c lower, the market con
tinued to descend.
Corn closed heavy, 7%ftj9%e net lower.
Oats sympathized with the weakness of
corn.
Lower prices of hogs and grain brought
about a general decline in provisions.

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: Until confidence
is restored on the buying side, professionals
will meet only moderate opposition in their
efforts to depress com prices. Revival of
domestic demand needed to prevent lower
oat prices.
Lamson Bros. Sentiment is extremely
bearish and only a crop scare or a decided
let up in receipts can turn the market.
Clement Curtis: We will undoubtedly have
a fine yield of oats. Selling side on tire
rallies looks best.

LOWER PRICES
INEVITABLE, SAYS
FEDERAL BANK
(Continued from Page 1)
pect declines in prices, but whole
sale firms appear to doubt any early
reductions.
"Reports by ' large department
stores throughout the district show
that the volume of June sales was
considerably larger than for June of
last year, and the sales for the first
half of 1920 were larger, except in
one instance, than for the first half
of 1919, the increase in another in
stance being more than 100 per cent.
Stocks of goods on hand at the end
of June were larger in every in
stance reported than for the same
date last year, but smaller than for
the end of May with one exception.
"While there is still uncertainty as
to how slowly or rapidly prices will
recede, and how long the transition
will take, it is generally recognized
throughout the trade that deflation
is definitely under way, and that
lower prices are inevitable, and that
with the return to a price basis more
nearly normal, confidence will be re
stored and business in all lines will
benefit by becoming more stable.’’
Agriculture
While there is a decrease inicotton
acreage in the big cotton growing
states, and the crop is from two to
three weeks late, the report states
that the weather during June was fa
vorable and the crop made good prog
ress.
The crop in all six states of the
district had improved over conditions
in May, although it was generally
not as good as this time last year.
Georgia’s acreage was reported at 4,-
972,000, a decrease of 32,000 acres
compared to last year. Mississippi’s
acreage was 2,940,000, a decrease of
60,000 acres. Tennessee had about
the same acreage as last year, and
Louisiana had a decrease of 119,000
acres. Georgia’s production was es
timated on June 25 to be 2,195,000
bales. Georgia and Florida, it is pre
dicted, will produce about 8,000 bales
ot sea island cotton this year.
The report gives Georgia an in
creased acreage in peanuts, sweet po
tatoes, sugar and velvet beans, and a
decreased acreage in corn, hay, oats,
wheat, tobacco, potatoes and sor
ghum syrup. The crop is forecasted
as follows: Corn, 60,775,000 bushels;
hay, 618,000 tons; peanuts, 7,920,000
bushels; oats, 10,582,000 bushels
wheat, 2,222,000 bushels; tobacco,
aa’a 7^’ 00 ? bpushels; potatoes, 1,449,-
Saa bushels, sweet potatoes, 22,728,-
nnn bu , s . hels >’ sorghum syrup, 1,335,-
000 gallons; sugar sane, 7,930,000
pounds.
The report says the increase in
peanuts consists of an extension of
the crop to sections farthher north
than heretofore, the increase in po
tatoes is due to the increasing mar
ket value of the crop, and the de
crease in other crops is because of
the shortage of labor and to unfa
vorable weather conditions.
Florida Fruits
Florida citrus growers have had
their best season from a price stand
the r e l’ ort - An increase
or 3,265 cars, of oranges and 4 392
cars of grapefruit in shipments’ up
to June 29 was reported. An in
crease in the orange crop and a
smaller grapefruit crop is predicted
for next year.
Louisiana sugar conditions on July
1 were reported as 74 per cent as
against 75 per cent for last* vear.
Cuban cane men are reported to have
formed a combine to boost the price
of sugar by holding their crop for
twenty-four cents, says the report,
but no serious outcome is expected.
This year’s rice crop, says the re
port, promises to be the largest in
the industry of the country because
of the heavy rains. The average
condition for June was 90 per cent.
Louisiana heads the list of acreage
with a total of 725,64". She expects
to produce hdlf of the 60,000,000
bushels predicted for the five big
rice-growing states.
Other Trades
Os other production the report
says:
"Lumber: During the latter part
of June the volume of business
transacted in lumber circles was con
siderably above the average for the
last sixty days. A decided increase
in southern pine orders leads manu
facturers to believe the confusion
incident to the establishment of low
er price levels has about passed.
"Naval stores: Declines in rosin
and turpentine have made further
progress since last report, by reason
of heavier receipts and stocks, and
unfavorable turpentine marketing
conditions. In the last few days-,
however, a better tone has manifest
ed itself and, if fair production can
be had, results even at the lower
prices would prove satisfactory.
"Foreign trade: Though the im
ports at New Orleans for May show
a decrease of $2,000,000, as compared
to the previous month, an increase
of nearly $10,000,000 was shown over
the same month last year.’’
“Financial conditions throughout
the district appear to be generally
satisfactory,” states the report.
“There is a strong tendency to re
strict loans to necessary purposes,
though there appears to be ample
money for such purposes.”
As to labor, the report states that
there seems to be no relief from
the shortage of farm labor and all
parts of the district are seriously
short of farm hands.
The Reserve bank reports a little
impetus in buying in the pig iron
market in the south and a slight im
provement in transportation facili
ties during June. Alabama showed
an increase in production of pig iron,
although coal production is still lag
ging.
Bank clearings for June gave New
Orleans the lead over Atlanta with
$259,264,554 against Atlanta’s $254,-
530,345, although Atlanta had a
greater percentage of increase with
12 per cent against New Orleans’ 3
per cent.
Atlanta had the biggest increase
of building operations in the entire
southeast. The value of her permits
for new buildings was $2,167,675 and
the value of her permits for additions
and repairs was $224,987, an increase
of $1,211,625 over June, 1919. Her
nearest competitor was New Orleans,
but New Orleans had only $1,000,-
520 in building permits and $169,690
in repairs and additions, showing a
decrease in value of $1,135,014 from
last year. The little city of Orlando.
Fla., had the biggest increase next
to Atlanta.

Questions and Answers
1. Q. —What do the colors of the
American flag stand for,
1. A. —The continental congress has
bequeathed the following actual def
inition of the meaning of the red,
white and blue of the flag: white sig
nifies puYity and innocence; red hardi
ness and valor; blue signifies vigi
lance, perseverance and justice.
2. Q. —Does the Japanese cherry
tree bear fruit?
2. A. —There are two distinct
species of Japanese cherries. The
tree that bears the wonderful blos
soms, which are celebrated in Japan
by the cherry festival, does not bear
an edible fruit. This is the species
imported into the United States.
Some of the drives along the speed
way of the nation’s capital are bor
dered with them. Japan has a
cherry tree that is native to the
mountainous districts of the island,
which bears a large, delicious fruit.
3. Q. —Has the postmaster of a
small town aijy right to shut up his
office at 2:30 p. m., and refuse to de
liver any letters? T. L. H.
3. A.—The postoffice department
says that under the regulations of
the postoffice department the post
master is required to keep the post
office open to patrons during the

DEMOCRATS WILL

REPORT ON FUNDS
(Continued from. Page 1)
educated organizers in some of the
populous states to pay their work
ers and it is difficult to switch from
a paid to a volunteer basis. In a
few places where the Democratic
state organizations have acquired a
powerful influence the same system
of paying workers obtains, but gen
erally speaking neither political
party could afford to buy the serv
ices of many workers on election day
without subjecting themselves to
embarrassment.
So there are Republicans who wish
their party had adopted the policy
of asking for small subscriptions
and at the same time had placed no
limit of one thousand ollars. For
the Democrats got both the small
and the large subscriptions. In
some quarters here. It is predicted
that by the time October arrives, the
Republicans will have to confess
that the one thousand dollar limit
isn’t getting results and that a gen
eral appeal for funds of any size,
large or small, with the right to re
ject contributions from sources not
considered disinterested will have to
be ma#e.
Os course, federal laws are very
weak with respect to campaign
finances and there are plenty of ways
of certifying that only five million
dollars has been spent by a national
party when a total of five and six
times that sum may have been ex
pended by state committees who do
not tave to make their contributions
public or even certify to them. It is
a fair estimate that the national
campaign committees of the Demo
crats and the Republicans respect
ivey will run up bills of at least
six million dollars each before they
get through with the present cam
paign.
No Sensations Likely
But in the effort to elect senators,
representatives, governors and state
officials millions will be spent "in
the interest of the party” within the
state which need never be revealed
in a certificate of national campaign
expenses.
Both the Republicans and the
Democrats of the national commit
tees are getting ready to make pub
lic, weekly or semi-weekly, if neces
sary, all contributions. No sensa
tions need be expected, for with the
Republicans limiting their funds to
a thousand dollars and the Demo
crats centering all their efforts on
small contributors, the two campaign
committees probably will struggle
along during the next few months
and wake tyi with deficits on the day
after election.
Already there are murmurs about
the high cost of travel for speakers,
the hight cost of advertising and
publicity and the fact that where
as a party worker would give all
his time in the old days for five dol
lars a day, he wouldn’t leave his job
now for less than ten or fifteen dol
lars a day to stand around the polls
and coax voters to “vote right.”
With women voting, moreover, the
work will have to be largely one of
education through public speech and
writtetn word instead of the indi
vidual canvass of other years.
Man, 77, Takes Third Wife
SEDALIA, Mo.—Herman Appelby,
a Pettis county farmer, 77 years old,
was married the third time a day or
1 two ago, his bride being Sarah E.
Lackey, of Sedalia. Her age was not
given. Appelby’s first wife was kill
ed by a train near Clifton City in
July, 1919. Two months later he
married Mrs. Delia C. Lakoo, a wid
ow, who obtained a divorce on May
29. Recently he came to Sedalia in
search of a third wife. They are
now on his farm.
versity, $200,000,000 was spent on
confectionery in 1916.
5. Q. —Has a man a right to gold
or other mineral which he discovers
on private property? H. E.
5. A.—The bureau of mines says
that a man has absolutely no right
to gold or any other mineral found
on private property. He has no
more right to the mineral than he has
to go on private property and cut
down timber or haul away gravel.
6. Q. —If a bullet passes through
a human body, which is the larger,
the hole where the bullet entered or
the one where it made its exit? M.
E. D.
6. A. —In the case of a penetrat
ing wound, the larger hole is at the
point of exit. The authorities say
that at the point of entrance the
bullet presses sharply against the
tissue and makes a rather perfect
wound, while in leaving the body it
ttars the flesh apart in an overlap
ping fashion.
7. Q. —How is a break in a marine
cable put together? F. O. M.
7. A. —A break in a cable is lo
cated by means of an electrical. ap
paratus. The repairing crew travels
in a special patrol boat. Th© broken
ends are pulled together with a
grapnel or five-pronged anchor; the
broken ends are spliced and the ca
ble is allowed to sink by its own
weight.
8. Q. —How long did it take Wes
ton to walk across the continent, and
how old was he at the time? J. E. S.
8. A. —Edward Payson Weston was
seventy years of age when he tfnder
took to walk across the continent in
1909. He walked a distance of 3,895
miles in 104 days and seven hours.
The return trip in 1910 took seventy
six days and twenty-three hours.
The distance covered on the return
trip was 3,500 miles.
9. Q. —During the past ten years
has the amount of property destroyed
by fire increased or decreased? L. W.
9. A.—There has been an increase
in the •amount of property destroyed
by fire during the past decade. In
1910, fire destroyed property to the
value of $234,470,650, while in 1918
the destruction caused by fire
amounted to $317,014,303.
10. Q. —What was the first state
to grant woman suffrage, and when?
E. E. G.
10. A.—The first law granting
equal suffrage to women was enacted
by the territorial legislative council
of Wyoming in 1869.
Ex-Senator Bailey
Leading in Race
For Texas Governor
DALLAS, Texas, July 26. —When
counting of ballots of Saturday’s
Democratic primary was resumed to
day, Joseph Weldon Bailey, former
United States senator from Texas,
was leading his nearest opponent, Pat
M. Neff, by approximately 5,000 votes
for the gubernatorial nomination.
With 332,232 of the estimated vote
of between 550,000 and 600,000 tabu
lated, the vote stood:
Bailey, 112,509; Looney, 36,983,
Neff, 107,791; Thomason, 74,949.
A second primary will be held
August 28. Political observers de
clare this will be necessary to de
cide the gubernatorial contest be
tween Bailey and Neff and the races
for nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor and justice of the state su
preme court. Lynch Davidson and
W. A. Johnson, incumbent, are ex
pected to contest in the run-off
primary for lieutenant governor, and
William Pierson, of Greenville, and
William E. Hawkins, of Austin, for
justice of the supreme court.
