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.

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 NEW ORLEANS COTTON < The following were the ruling prices in j the exchange today: Tone, steady; middling, 39.75 c, steady.

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.

Liberty Bonds NEW YORK, July 26.—Liberty bonds: Filial prices today were: 3%s $91.00 First 4s 85.50 Second 4s 84.<>0 First 4%s 85.80 Second 4%8 84.84 Third 4*,s 88.82 Fourth -t’is 4 85.12 Victory'::%s 95.70 Victory 4%s 95.74 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. (Q Q=D 0 New Questions 1. Q. How should sunburn be treated? 2. Q.

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.

A.—According to President Emeritus Eliot, of Harvard uni- DEMOCRATS WILL DEMAND WEEKLY 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.
