COTTON
SEW YORK, Nov. 17.—There was a fur
ther decline in the cotton market early to
day with January and all later months mak
ing new low records for the season, owing to
weakness in Liverpool and reports of con
tinued trade depression. Recent buyers for
a reaction were sellers on the decline and
stop loss orders were uncovered by the
break which carried January down to 17.29
and«. March to 17.12. The market opened
barely steady at a decline of S to 21 points
witli active months showing net losses of 15
o 23 points during the first tew minutes.
Trade interests were among the sellers, but
there was a good deal or covering on tiie
breqk and,prices later rallied a few points
from tiie lowest. Liverpool reported hedge
selling and selling for Manchester account.
Early losses were recovered later on tiie
bullish weekly report of the weather bureau,
covering and buying for a rally. There was
also some trade demand on the advance to
17.60 for January, or 8 points above last
night’s closing, but the market weakened
again owing to the unsettled ruling of the
stock market, reports of a French mill
failure, and renewed liquidation. Most of
the active months made new low record fr
the season during the noon hour witli Jan
uary selling at 17.27 or 25 points net lower.
The market showed increased weakness
during the eariy afternoon owing to renewed
liquidation and spot house selling presumably,
against offers of cotton at an easier basis
in the south. All months made new low
records for the season, with January selling
at 17.10e and March at 16.55 c, or 40 to 49
points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 17.—Poor cables
offset the effect of unfavorable weather con
ditions in the belt and caused a deeline of
16 to 24 points in the price of cotton during
the first half hour of business today. De
cember traded down to 17.20 and May to
16.39. The market was steadied at the de
cline by the freezing weather reported oyer
the greater part of the cotton country. •
The rise in foreign exchange strengthened
the market considerably and encouraged
enough buying to cause net declines to he re
placed by net advances, and in the trading
up to 11 o’clock the active months were sent
I Oto 14 points higher than the final prices
of yesterday. December advancing to 17.58 c.
The rumor that a private crop reporting
bureau was coming out with very bearish
figures on ginning to November 14 caused
the heaviest selling of the day and put
prices to new levels for the season. In the
trading up to 1:30 o'clock the active months
were sent 42 to 50 points under the close of
yesterday, with December down to 17.02 c
and May down to 16.13 c.

persistent selling forced the price of cotton
to new low levels today, there being during
the greater part of the session an almost to
tai lack of support. In tiie early part of
the day offerings were based on the weak
ness of Liverpool and before tiie session was
very old prices were 17 to 24 points under
the close of yesterday. Following this there
were recoveries and a rise of 10 to 14
points, shorts taking profits and some new
buying for long account cornig in because of
the freezing wehther over a good part of tiie
belt.
Advances did not last long and on rumors
of sales of spots in the interior at low
prices and reports that the National Din
ners’ association was coming out with a
very bullish report on ginnings to Novem

Cattle Prices Break
As Farmers Rush
Stock to Market
CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—Half fed. in
ferior grade cattle, being rushed to
the Chicago stock yards from all
sections, of the country by panic
stricken farmers, are demoralizing
the cattle market, according to Al
bert Baker, head .of the United
States bureau of markets, here to
day. Baker appealed to farmers to
stem the tide.
Farmers, Baker said, have become
panicky because of timidity, over
future live stock prices, and are un
loading underweight stock on the
market which has caused wide
breaks in • prices.
It was estimated there were close
to 68,000 cattle in the stock yards
at the opening today. This is the
largest number in two years.
Cattle prices broke and stock sold
for $1 lower yesterday than the pre
vious day’s close and from $2.50 to
$3 cheaper than two weeks ago.
Prices yesterday ranged, from $7.50
to $12.50 with the prospect today
that prices would be lower.
Cattle prices are lower now than
any time since 1916.

GRAIN
CHICAGO, Nov. 17,—Wheat underwent a
setback in price today largely as a result
of aggressive selling on the part of specu
lators. Initial quotations, which varied from
I’4e lower to %c advance, were followed
by a material sag all around, and then some
thing of a rally.
Wheat closed nervous, 3c to 5c net lower.
Corn gave way with wheat.
Corn closed heavy at 2%c to 3%c net de
cline.
Oats were governed by the action of other
grain.
Provisions lacked support, except Novem

Civilians Menaced
By Bolsheviki After
Wrangel’s Defeat
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 17—
The fate of thousands of civilians
left in Sebastapol in the Bolshevik
triumph worried the European dip
lomats here today.
General Wrangel arrived late yes
terday with nearly 20,000 troops. He
had no plans to announce.
French representatives confirmed
reports that they had threatened
Red authorities with reprisals if
harm came to the civilians.
Military evacuation of the entire
Crimean peninsula was complete to
day, but thousands of civilians were
left in Yalta, Theodosia and other
cities.
Greenville Merchants
Lend to Farmers
GREENVILLE, S. 'C.. Nov. 16.
Farmers are seeking loans tiie
Merchants’ Cotton company, of
Greenville, which opened here Mon
day to L-. 1 money on cbtton from a
pool of $200,000 rasied by local me r
chants to help tide the farmers of
the county over the present strin
gen'”- The pool, which was in
creased from’ $90,000, the original
mark, promises to reach half a mil
lion dollies tnis week, if found
necessary. Offices established in
ihe central part of the city were
crowded by anxious farmers, who
put up their warehouse receipts as
collterai and borrowed the equivalent
of 12 cents per pound "n the cotton.
The market price wa._ 18 1-2 cents.
Interest is at the rate of 8 per cent
for a term of six months.
No individual loans will be made
oh more than twenty bales of cotton,
-'—nts ni supporting this local
enterprise, the first of its flind in
, the south, said it 'was to their in
terest to advance money to the farm
ers, as it will serve- to put money in
circulation and stimulate trading,
which has been virtually at a stand
still the past month. Farmers, elated
over the proposition, said it is a
measure that enables them to hold
their cotton and at the same time
realize money to buy clothing and
food for the winter and to satisfy
pressing obligations.
BARRETT SPEAKS
AT NATIONAL /MEET
OF FARMERS’ UNION
(Continued from Page 1)
a bushel, which became in substance
the maximum price as well.
During the war the railroads were
guaranteed against losses and now
under the Cummins-Esch law have en
tered on an era of unprecedented high
freight and passenger rates and with
it such prosperity (to them) as this
county has npver seen before.
On former occasions I have refer
red to the role of the Farmers’ union
in helping to maintain at Washing
ton a; national headquarters for the
farm organizations. During the past
year the national board of farm or
ganizations has made material gains
in strength and in service. For over
a year it has had its offices in a
handsome four-story building which
purchase* ja paying for
through voluntary contributions Os
farmers in all parts of the country.
The national board of farm organi
zations is the only farm organization
in the country which approximates in
character the chamber of commerce
of the United States or the Ameri
can Federation of Labor. Practically
every form of farm organization is
eligible for membership providing
it is of a bona fide and self-help
nature. The one-man-one-vote idea
is a requisite in co-operative farm
business. This idea has been fol
lowed in the organization of the
national board of farm organizations
which carries out the one-organiza
tion one-vote plan. There is no co
ercion or brow-beating in the con
duct of the work. There are so many
questions on which tiie member or
ganizations can agree that it has been
considered unwise to force action
by majority rule. The strength of
the organization lies in unanimity
of its action.
National Legislation
Among the specific undertakings
in which the National Farmers’ union
has had its part in the past year in
connection witli the other member
organizations of the national board of
farm organizations, are the following:
Repeal of the daylight savings law;
passage by the house of the Volstead
bill—introduced as the Hersrr.nn bill
—making co-operative marketing
clearly lawful; efforts to secure ef
fective packer legislation; efforts to
secure the truthful branding and la
beling of feeds, seeds* fertilizers,
Avearing apparel, etc.; efforts to se
cure the passage of the bill for the
operation of the nitrate plant at
Muscle Shoals, Ala. These and other
matters of natural concern to the
Farmers’ union have been covered in
the presidential and congressional
questionnaire. In connection with. In
connection with the repeal of the
daylight savings law it is rather
amusing to learn that certain or
ganizations claim the credit. I can
only say in response to this that a
perusal of the congressional record
will disclose the fact that it was
congressional votes from farmer
union territory whein removed that
monstrosity from the statute books
of the nation. Some states have en
acted daylight savings laws, but you
will find that none of this legisla
tion has been assented to by com
monwealths in which the Farmers’
union exerts a decided influence.
Presidential Questionnaire
A distinct contribution has been
made this year in placing the de
mands of the farmers’ organizations
before the country. The board first
prepared and sent a questionnaire,
to the various presidential aspirants.
The replies were widely published and
elicited much favorable attention.
The board followed this -action by
sending a delegation to both the
Democratic and Republican national
conventions, where its spokesmen
presented various planks for the con
sideration of the platform commit
tees. This action constituted a mile
stone in the history of farm organi
zations and placed the needs of agri
culture as never before squarely in
front of the American public. In
line also with these helpful activities,
the board at its semi-annual confer
ence at Columbus, Ohio, in Septem
ber called on Governor Cox and sent
a delegation to the home of Sena
tor Harding to lay before the presi
dential nominees the request of the
farm organizations for consideration
of their agricultural problems. All
of these undertakings were conducted
in a frank and above-board manner
with no attempt to show partiality or
play partisan politics. It is the feel
ing of member organizations that the
time is past for secret and confiden
tial understandings with political
parties and candidates. Organized
business men yet enter behind closed
doors in an attempt to secure prom
ises and special consideration. The
great x farm organizations belonging
to thO national board of farm organi
zations believe in frank and open
methods. They are asking for only
such consideration as is accorded
other great industries. They want
no special privileges, but do insist
that they be placed on an equal foot
ing with all the rest.
Some Recommendations
Continuation of cost of production
investigations is of the greatest im
portance. Under the former secre
tary of agriculture little progress
was made in this direction. The
Farmers' union and its associated
farm organizations insisted, however,
on continuing’ the studies and making
them available —which was not done
under Secretary Houston. Our mem
bership should insist on sufficient ap
propriations, both state and national,
to make, possible the determining of
all factors which enter into the cost
of production of the great staple*'ag
rlcultural products. The farmer to
day is the only manufacturer in this
country who is imploring the govern
ment to figure out and make public
the cost of production of his prod
ucts. I wonder what other great
lines of business are willing to have
the government figure out their costs
of production and give the “free, full
and uncensored facts” to the entire
public.
Consumers should be encouraged in
their desire for similar data as to tiie
cost of producing manufactured prod
ucts as well as the costs of distri
bution.
Collective buying and selling ar
rangements should be improved and
furthered in every possible way. The
Farmers’ union is a pioneer in this
most practical field of farm endeav
ors. Uniformity of methods in or
ganization. bookkeeping. auditing,
etc., should be carried out. The buy
ing and selling of agricultural re
quirements and farm products should
be concentrated .and to this end our
various state directorates and busi
ness departments should meet from
time to time.
The purpose and spirit of co-opera
tion should be emphasized in all
dealings with the general public. No
occasion should be neglected to show
that agricultural co-operation is the
only way to bring stability and pros
perity to agriculture and with it
prosperous and permanent civiliza
i tion for this nation.
Data on discrimination.against our
co-operatives should be systematical®’
ly gathered together and utilized.
Certain great trade associations have
been carrying on boycottings and
practicing unfair discriminations
against co-operative grain elevators,
creameries, and stores. Through the
national headquarters evidence of
such discriminations will be present
ed before the proper authorities.
Urges Careful Records
Co-operative managers should keep
careful records of the number of
cars which they secure or desire
as againsi the umber of cars fur
nisned thier private competitors.
Evidence is not lacking that local
freight agents have been approached
ay private shippers in away to get
them ‘more than their fair share of
transportation facilities.
The f.'ler.al tr.”.e commission musi
be presetved in its present function
ing. A high 'ype oi public servant
is now found ainc r g its personnel.
Attacks have been made again?-*
the federal tra to commission which
farmers should po the first to resent.
The knowledge that, profiteering has
been enormous’ is due largely to in
vestigations of the federal trade
commission. W thout its helpful as
sistance the coantry would have no
proper warning >f certain dangers
which must be i emoved.
Evidence is not lacking that, pow
erful forces are at work.to, discred
it progressivism. Return to condi
tions of the past are being urged
bv spokesmen of corporate weaith.
Legislation of anti-social nature is
likely to bo i.rought forward this
>oai. Tiie Farmers’ union should bo
prepared to i< eet the situation.

The winning of twenty-five or more
prizes at the Tfi-State fair in S?i
vannah by the boys of the Thomas
