Liverpool wag lower than due, while there was continued nervousness over labor conditions at home and abroad, and the weekly forecast pointed to better weather in the south. These fea <ure« led to heavy realizing and renewed local gelling, which was encouraged by a belief that most of the thort interest has been covered on the advance of the past few days. Southern selling was also a factor on the decline, and after opening weak at a decline of 50 to 75 points, active months soon sold 95 to 105 points net lower, with October touching 25.70 c and January ✓ The break assumed even more sensational proportions during the middle of the forn ing. Sellers were more aggressive and the pressure more gneral as the absence of sup port dveloped with October selling off to 28.10 and January to 25.80, or 140 to 160 points below Saturday’s closing. This car ried October contracts off to within 40 points of the maximum price decline per mitted for one day and there were rallies of 15 or 20 points later on covering. Other wise very little demand was in evidence and there was no change in the general char- | acter of the news. Rallies of 20 or 30 points seemed to re flect little more than scattered covering dur- | ing the middle of the day and the market weakened again under southern and foreign selling but without excitement. October broke to 27.70, reaching the 200 point limit permitted in any one day, while January sold at 25.30, or 170 points net lower.

Much better weather over the belt, poor cables, an unfavorable opnion of foreign news and the bearish tone of weekly reviews of the cotton goods markets were responsible for the selling. The weather map showed next to no moisture in tlie cotton region. The forecast for dry weather for the greater part of the cotton belt increased the Selling prices felll off to net declines of 116 to 145 points, much liquidation coming from the long side as the market fell. The con dition report of 67 per cent of normal from the American Cotton association and another private report of 68.2 seemed to give the market a somewhat steadier tone and late in the morning prices were 10 to 30 points up trr >m the lowest. In the late trading the market became ex tremolv wenk under increasing liquidation of long cotton and short offerings stimulated by reports of no demand in the spot markets of the interior. October fell off to 26.45, or the full 2000 points allowed by the rules of the marke tlimiting fluctuations in any one session. Other active months went 179 to 236 points under yesterday’s close.

Next to no sup port was given the market at any stage and much of the selling appeared to come from buyers who took hold last week on the the ory that the market was bound to advance before bureau day. Sentiment now seems more bearish than over and if the weather continues favorable it will be difficult to COMMERCIAL-APPEAL REPORT MEMPHIS, Aug. 30.—Commercial-Appeal summary: Killing frost date now most im portant, condition cottqp crop about the ten yea r average. Weevil is more active. De terioration during month slightly more than normal for the period, Louisiana; Oklahoma has brilliant prospect. The crop reached about the peak of its improvement during the first week in August and from that time on to August 25, the date of the bureau report, deterioration was rapid. Deteriora tion was due prlmarilj- to excessive moisture, unseasonably low temperatures and deficient sunshine, which made boll weevil and other insect enemies more active, and caused sud den and sappy growth of weed at expense of fruitage. Deterioration was greatest in Louisiana, in the Carolinas condition is not far from the ten-year average. Georgia is siiffering more from boll weevil damage than at any time this year before the middle of August, but still hopes to make a much better crop than last year. Alabama is perhaps suffering more from boll weevil damage than any other state, and acre for acre has but little better promise than last year. Mississippi shews about normal deteriora tion where substantial progress would have been possible under favorable conditions. Texas crop is very spotted, with condi tion figures ranging from 25 per cent to about normal or better with low condi tion in about eveny case traceable to boll weevil activity. The extremely spotted con dition is not traceable to any particular part of the state. JOURNAL OF COMMERCE REPORT NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Special reports to the Journal of Commerce from Texas show excellent prospects In some parts of the state and very serious deterioration in oth ers. The percentage condition, according to preliminary estimates, promises to be ap preciably higher than that of August a year ago and only slightly lower than for July. A year ago the condition for the whole state was 63.4 while a month ago it was 75.8 The outlook is vastly better than at one time expected, and utthougly there is very little hope entertained of raising a large crop, it is felt that a fair average yield is possible, barring earlj- frost. In Oklahoma condition shows some deterioration from last months condition of 72. COTTON CONDITION 67. The American Cotton association makes the condition of the crop 67 and says there has been deterioration since August 25. Acreage abandonment is 'given as 4% per cent. Crop is declared to be sappy, poorly fruited and subject to marked deterioration in September. The association says we are facing the absolute certainty of the sixth consecutive short crop and that the matter of harvesting will be serious problem be cause of the shortage of labor. That the crop will be low grade is also said to be a certainty. Liberty Bonds NEW Y’ORK, Aug. iso.—Libertj- bonds closed: 3%’s $89.8?

(Ship ments for the United States for the period of August 15 to 21, inclusive, and prices to jobbers August 17 to 23, inclusive.) Price Trend Continues Downward Price declines of leading fruits and vegetables were general. Potatoes, cabbage and watermelons were moderately lower and the cantaloupe markets broke sharply, but peaqjies held fairly steady. Moderate increases in the shipments of apples, cab bage, celery, drj- beans,- grapes, lemons, oranges, onions, pears and sweet potatoes failed to offset the lighter movement of cantaloupes," lettuce, peaches, plums, prunes, tomatoes, -watermelons and white potatoes. Total shipments were 11,778 cars, compared with 13,382 during tlie preceding week and 12.854 during tlie corresponding week last season.

Shipments were 999 cars, compared with 1,412 the week before and 1.582 during the corresponding week last year.

This week's range was 30 to 50 cents bulk per 100 pounds wagonloads cash to growers, compared with a level around $1.15 last season. Ohio cabbage in 100-ponnd crates ranged 75 cents to $1.50 in Pitts burg. closing at the bottom of the range. Homegrowns in sixty-five to eighty-poound crates ranged 75 cents to $1.25 in Chicago.

OFFICIAL Illuminating information on the “coal shortage” and the high price of coal In Atlanta and Georgia was contained in a report filed Monday with the Atlanta branch of the Unit ed States department of justice by A. J. Wismer, one of its agents, just back In Atlanta after a stay of three weeks in Knoxville, where he made an exhaustive study of the coal situation there. • In his report, Mr. Wismer says that twenty-five mJna eporators and coal brokers in Knoxville are under warrants charging profiteering in coal, and that the authorities there appeared disposed to get to the bot tom of the “reasons” for the high prices demanded. Mr. Wismer says he found sev eral instances where a profit of 100 per cent was realized on a car load of coal —the majority of this coal being consigned to Georgia. He also found, he said, that brok ers at the mining fields were giving commissions to men supposed to be employed by them to buy their coal, these men, it developed, being mine employes and the “commissions” merely a ruse and part of the con spiracy to send up the price of coal.. In some towns in and near the coal mines, he said, brokers have been buying coal from one 1 another. Mr. Wismer’s report states that a number of brokers who made con tracts in April and May to supply coal at $3.50 a ton —the same coal now selling at the mines as high as $12.50 —declined to carry out the contracts, alleging shortage of cars jind other pretexts, but intimating that new contracts, at $9 to sl2 a ton, might be filled. “Knoxville yards, or some of them, won’t buy the coal at these exorbi tant rates,” said Mr. Wismer, “say ing they haven't the heart to ‘stick’ people With these needlessly high prices.” It was Mr. Wismer’s opinion that all these things powerfully affect the coal situation and prices in Georgia, as much of the coal used in this state, and especially in At lanta, comes from the mines in the east Tennessee section. Mr. Wismer believes that the Georgia Fair Price Commission, in fixing a price of $15.75 to be charged for coal by the retail dealers, did not by any means have the correct information on the situation at the mines. At the department of justice it was stated that Mr. Wismer’s report was receiving preferred attention, with the idea of action as soon as possible. FLYNT declares WOMEN CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY r Declaring that any action by the state Democratic executive committee to qualify women to vote in the pri mary of September 8, under the nine teenth amendment of the federal con stitution would not only be illegal, but an absolute nullity, Judge James J. Flynt, of Griffin, Ga., chairman of the state committee, has written to Fermor Barrett, of Toccoa, Ga., also a member of the state commit tee, replying to an opinion rendered by Mr. Barrett to the effect that women may legally vote in the com ing primary. Judge Flynt further indicates that he sees no reason for calling a meet ing of the state committee for the purpose of considering the matter or taking action looking toward quali fying the women of Georgia to participate in the primary of Sep tember 8. Discussing the situation over the long distance telephone on Monday, he declared that his letter to Sena tor Barrett fully explained his views on the subject and asserted that for him to call a meeting of the state committee to qualify women for the primary election would have no ef fect. . , “The laws of Georgia set forth the manner in which voters shall be reg istered,” said Judge Flynt. “The state committee has nothing to do with the qualification of the voters, although prior to the passage of the Neill primary law the state commit tee could say how such registration and qualifications should be accom plished. The committee could not now allow women to vote in the primary. Any action it might take would be illegal and nugatory.’ Some suffrage leaders in Georgia have petitioned Judge Flynt to call a meeting of the committee in order that special rules might be Passed to allow them to vote in the forth coming primary and the opinion has been advanced in some quarters that thev should be allowed to vote in view of the ratification of the nine teenth amendment. Senator Barrett’s reply to a com munication asking for an opinion on the question was to the effect that the constitution of the United States transcends any state law and nulli fies any statute which would pre scribe qualifications for voters. newyorksugarmarket ' Close.

BRITISH LABOR ASKS RELEASE OF MacSWINEY LONDON, Aug. 30.—(8y United Press.) —Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, collapsed again in Brixton prison this afternoon. Phy sicians expressed the belief he had but a few hours to live. This was the eighteenth day of his hunger strike. J. R. Thomas, Arthur Henderson and William Adamson, labor leaders, today sent a joint note to Premier Lloyd George as follows: “The whole of organized labor asks reconsideration of the government’s decision to allow MacSwiney to die. His death would make solution of the Irish problem even more remote. ‘We appeal to you to do the big thing.’ ” The lodr mayor is opposed to any reprisals upon the persons responsi ble for his imprisonment, according t ohls wife, who spent most of the day at his bedside. Sinp Fein officials, after visiting MacSwiney last week, said Irish Re publican courts would try for mur der all British officials connected with his' imprisonment, should he die, and intiiftated that Premier Lloyd George and cabinet members would come within this category.

Mr. Neel explains in detail the dis position of the material throughout the state. He says, in part: “The trucks were assigned to the counties, first in proportion of road mileage and population, until many of the counties had about all the trucks they wanted. The counties were required to deposit with the state highway department a sum of 10 per cent of the value of the trucks, in order to pay the expense of freight, overhauling and the regular inspection and the instructions of the county forces in handling the trucks. This has been practically uniformly complied with. The same approxi mate payment was required of the counties on other equipment, such as fence posts, harness, pumps and cor rugated steel. “about twenty-five or thirty trucks and practically all of the Ford cars have been retained by the highway department for their own use-in con struction and maintenance of tne state system of roads. Neary all the heavy construction equipment also has been retained by the state high way department. “The counties are making good use of the trucks assigned to them f<y hauling cemente, gravel, rock, lum ber and other materials on road con struction, and the use of the trucks assigned to the state of Georgia has aroused considerable interest and\ given great Impetus to the highway movement in many of the smaller counties of the state. A great ma jority of counties would have suf fered materially if it were not for the trucks which have been urned “The general result to the state of Georgia from the assignment of sur plus war material seems to be that the state has been enabled to make much progress In road building by reason of the fact that we have had machinery at the time when labor short age was so acute.
