GINNING PROGRESSES FAST
Out-turn of 12,000,000 Bales at
End of November Is Con
census of Opinion.
MEMPHIS. Dec. «. -Comparative*
dullnww. which usually characterizes
trading In the cotton market Juat be
fore the Government Issues lt« qua nti
rative estimate of yield, has prevailed
during the week. To make the dull
ness more marked, there has been
discussion of what the ginning re
port, due Monday at the opening, will
show as having been turned out to
the close of November. Several pri
vate reports have been issued and
their usual accuracy has caused them
to be given attention.
Using the Information contained
therein In connection with that re
ceived from other sources, there has
been a crystallization of Ideas around
12,000,000 bales, or a little more as
the amount ginned, compared with
11.KRR.000 bales by the same date last
veer, which was 87.9 per rent of the
total, and with 12.817,000 in 1911,
which was 82.4 per cent of the total.
For the latter half of November, gin
ning has been heavy. If the census
report comes in line with average ex
pectations. the amount will be some
thing over 1,600.000 bales, which
would compare with 1,554,000 for the
same time last season. ,
Such an increase would hardly be
regarded as bearish, judging from the
recent action of the speculative mar
ket, as opinion leans decidedly to the
view that progress in picking and
ginning has been unusually rapid and
the total will represent as high per
centage of the entire crop last
year, or higher. It is freely predicted
that subsequent reports will show a
big falling off and thus confirm bull
ish ideas.
Await Estimate of Yield.
A few days after the census rep/frt
on ginning the trade will receive the
Government’s estimate of tl*e yield,*
and much interest and importance at
taches to it. This will come Decem
ber 12 and will give the amount of
growth expressed in bales of 500
pounds. As the commercial, or run
ning. bales usually run about 3 to 4
per cent heavier, it will be necessary
to reduce the official figures propor
tionately and then make allowance
for the tleterv and repacks. Last sea
son linters were 602,000 bales, and this
year they should be as much or more,
as each year there is an increased
proportion, because of improved ma
chinery for separating the lint from
the seed.
It is generally felt that the Gov
ernment estimate will point to a com
mercial crop of 14,000,000 to 14.250.-
000 bales, and the market during the
past week or so has seemingly been
trying to adjust itself to this figure.
The average of the numerous private
guesses that have come to light is
around the higher figure, and if there
is official confirmation, the cotton
world having learned that the Gov
ernment experts have improved their I
method of arriving at conclusions, t lie |
probabilities are that bullish activ
ity will l>e stimulated, unless tratio
developments become much worse
than now they seem to be.
Crop Movement Falls Off.
The movement of the crop during
the past week has shown further
falling off. Hulls attribute this to ex
haustion of supplies and an unwill
ingness to sell at prices offered, and
bears blame it on the attitude «»f
spinners as a result of their knowl
edge that manufacturing activity w as
to be Jessened.
In the belt there has been an ab
sence of pressure to sell the actual
that seems significant. The holders
have showed patience during the pe
riod of small buying and refused to
boeonie alarmed enough to slash
prices, middling seemingly having
been pegged at 13 cents at the larger
centers.
There has been some revival of
demand during the past few days
and a slight advance in quotations
at many centers However, sales
have not been indicative of a dispo
sition on the part of spinners to buy
freely, and it looks very much as if
the spot people will be put to a test
as to their ability to dictate the price
for which the remnant will be sold.
McAdoo Chides Banks
For Curtailing Credit
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.— Following
complaints from business men that
banks were restricting credits on com

CHICAGO, Dec 6.—-The potash
monopoly Is hopelessly and helpless
ly disintegrated. At a meeting of
the German potash syndicate held in
Merlin the other day monopolistic
purposes were abandoned and meas
ures adopted in an attempt to pre
vent utter demoralization of the
trade.
This is the miserable end of false
pretenses on the part of the Prus
sian Government and of diplomatic
hypocrisy.
The antecedents should still be
vivid 1n the minds of all who are
interested in fertilization and in in
ternational diplomacy. Some inde
pendent potash mine owners had
contracted to deliver a large amount
of the commodity to American con
sumers, chiefly to the VlrginJa-
Oarolina Chemical Company and to
another agricultural fertilizer con
cern. The Prussian Government in
tervened It pretended not to pro
test against the price, but against the
amount that was to be exported to
one country "which endangered the
world's supply.”
So far as was then fand is yet)
known, potash mines are confined to
Germany and potash is a necessary
ingredient in agricultural fertiliza
tion.
The .Prussians professed to be so
licitous of the world’s welfare in
that no country should be permitted
to take out of Germany more of the
essential ingredient than was abso
lutely Imperative to its needs Pot
ash was peculiarly precious. It must
be jealously preserved.
American contractors did not ac
cept the Prussian Government's pro
testations and insisted that the in-
dependertf producers be permitted to
fulfill their contracts. The matter
finally received the attention of the
Department of State In Washington,
which instructed the American Am
bassador to investigate the question
Supplies Limitless.
Investigation proved the Prussian
Government was seven-tenths owner
of the largest potash mine In Prus
sia; that if was trying to effect a
monopoly; that mines were being
discovered in other parts of Ger
many; that one newly discovered
mine in Alpaca also contained
enough potash alone to supply the
world for a century.
The discoveries were fiercely re
sented not only by the Prussian, but
by the Imperial Chancellery In Ber
lin. The integrity and veracity of
the American Ambassador were Im
pugned with plausible Indignation.
Tn a moment of confusion and ti
midity in Washington the American
representative in Germany was on
the point of being recalled He prob
ably had lost his post but for the
courageous stand taken by a namt^r
of Merlin correspondents of foreign
newspapers who confirmed the Am
bassador's findings. ,
The "prevention of a wasteful use
of national resources” was in es
sence an attempt to monopolize the
industry in every respect—In limit
ing output and in fixing prices. The
Prussians thought to hold the uni
verse by the tail. They went so far
as to induce the Berlin office to try
for a heavy duty on exports.
Seventy Square Miles.
Since then the deposits in Alsace
have been further explored and have
been shown to be enonno isljr great
and rich. The field lias b*en proved
by borings to extend to about 77
square miles of continuous deposits
The first mine began production
th*re last year and since then ten
others have begun producing or have
received allotments in the vndlcate.
More recently deposits ! ive been
found in Baden, between the Rhine
and the Black Forest, evidently a
coninuatlon of those In Aina -e. Mean
while, new mine* have been opened
up very rapidly by the older dis
tricts around the Hartz Mountains.
The first mines opened th< re lay in
tho plains to the cast of ue moun
tains; later on deposits were struck
to the north and then to The south
of them; and still later the district
has been greatly extended '-ward the
northwest into the Province of Han
over and to the south into Thuringia.
It is thus a case of embarrassment
of riches with which the potash people
have to deal.
Propose Drastic Remedy.
The Prussian “preventive” bill
proposed a Draconic remedy for the
excessive increase of mines; no new
ones were to bo allowed to begin
production during a period of twenty
years. This proposal was naturally
objected to by all parties Interested
In undeveloped properties and among
the objectors were several of the
German States themselves, which
have become interested in potash
mines, or which hoped that discov
eries of the valuable «nlts would be
made within their borders.
The Prussian bill was accordingly
modified In its most essential fea
tures by the Federal Council and as
enacted it provided that all mines be
gun up to a certain date should re
ceive production quotas for Imme
diate use, but after that date a period
of five years should elapse, after get
ting a quota, before the mine in
question might begin production.
The law also made it possible for
existing mines to buy up the quo
tas assigned to new ones and to pro
duce the corresponding quantities at
their old shafts. No mine was al
lowed to sell its own product: all
sales had to be made by a central
selling agency. Thus, while the law
did not specifically provide for a
syndicate, it practically necessitated
the continuation of the old syndicate.
The price at which potlffh might be
sold was also specifically stated in
the law. with a provision for changes
from time to time by a government
board that has charge of the ad
ministration of the law’.
Result Unsatisfactory.
The result of the law has been e.m-
mlnently unsatisfactory. Instead of
checking the establishment of new
mines, it has proved a strong stimu
lus to the exportation of undeveloped
properties. This was only a natural
result, inasmuch as the law guar
anteed production quotas to all new
comers and fixed prices far above the
necessary costs of production, with a
reasonable percenta** - " of »»rofit. The
new mines, too, were sure to find
ready buyers of their quotas, in case
the latter should turn out to be too
small to Justify them in erecting
operating plants and exploiting their
mines upon their own account.
Now the leaders of the potash In
dustry are complaining that the law
merely placed a premium upon the
organization of new potash companies
and that demoralization has ensued.

Costs Less to Make
Than Buy Powder
WASHINGTON, Dec 6 -Figures
showing that the Government can save
20 to 50 per cent on contracts for army
materials If it makes them itself were
made public recently by Representative
ny<ie Travenner, of Illinois The fig
ures were obtained from the Fran Il
ford arsenal, Philadelphia.
On orders placed with the Frankford
arsenal between July 1, 1912. and April
25. 1913, amounting to $1,900,064, the
Government saved $979,841.
On an order for $800,120 artillery am
munition now being manufactured by
private concerns, the Government could
have saved $81,215 if it had given the
order to the arsenal.
The Government pays higher wages,
works its men eight instead of nine and
ten hours a duy, and pays for .fifteen
days' annual leave of absence, seven na
tional holidays and thirteen Saturday
afternoons during the summer.
Air. Travenner points out that if the
manufacturing were to be done at the
arsenal at Rock Island. 111., where the
Government has a power plant in the
Mississippi, an even greater saving
could be made.

Bank Expects Better Business
in January,
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—In the view of
George M. Reynoldh. president of the
Continental and Commercial National
Bank, January will mark a definite
Pirn for betterment in the business
situation.
Mr. Reynolds predicates his opinion
on the condition and business of the
institution of which lie is the head
“Our deposits to-day are $9,000,000
higher than they were on the corre
sponding days a year ago. Our cash
means are ampler and our general re
sources stronger. And though the.
country banks owe us some $25,000,-
1 . payments are prompt enough to
make us feel comfortable.
The atmosphere has been gloomy.
Pessimism still is the keynote in the
Ktreet. It might, therefore, sound ul-
tracourageous to predict confidently a
decided Improvement after the turn
of the year, hut one must refuse to
be affected by the feelins and senti
ments of the. financial district and
take for safer indications tHe charac-
°x f *! ,e vve are doing in
this bank.
„ South Among the Leaners.
Of course, some sections are still
leaning heavily upon our shoulders
I he South, for Instance, where bor
row Ings were largely based upon a
cotton crop whose bountlfulness was
diminished by the floods. Not a few
enterprises that were flourishing six
months ago require renewed credits.
These are all perfectly good, as art*
the loans made by Southerners.
“It is merely a question of carrying
such people longer than we had‘fig
ured on. Even so, the general collec
tions elsewhere more than compen
sate for the tardiness in the quarters
mentioned.
"And as we gradually adjust our
selves to the tariff you will find that
business will look up again.
Currency Reform Nearer.
‘T am forgetting the currency ques
tion. The differences between the ad
ministration and the bankers are not.
many and not now exceptionally vital.
“To be sure, bankers can not yield
the points of being forced into an
investment and of investment without
representation.
"We are willing to waive features
which we (leemQunwls* and compro
mise on clauses that we consider in
imical to the welfare of banking sci
ence, but upor the two questions 1
have Just stated we must be firm. I
have great hopes that these essentials
will be recognized.”
NEW YORK. Dec. 6. -Instead of
following ilie time honored practice
of authorizing .State Legislatures to
levy sufficient taxes year by year, the
new Louisiana Constitution actually
levies these taxes, naming a fixed
rat* which the officials say will be
sufficient to pay the serial bonds to
be issued in December as they fall
due in from one to fifty years, as well
as th semi-annual Installments of in
terest.
Has No Discretion.
The Legislature is given no discre
tion in the matter, according to
Caldwell, Masslick & Reed, attorneys
of this city, who say that after levy
ing the tax the same article provides
for emergencies by requiring the
State Auditor to make a computation
each year of the amount which can
be realized by the levy of the fixed
rate. If that amount Is not sufficient,
due to reduction of the assessed val
uation or other causes not now fore
seen, the Auditor is required to com
pute a new rate that will be sufficient
and extend it upon the tax rolls for
collection as other State taxes are col
lected. States are Immune frpm suit,
but their officers are subject to writs
of mandamus to compel the perform
ance of specific duties, and this pro
vision for automatic extension of the
rate of the tax is one that the bond
holders can enforce by mandamus.
A few months ago the attention of
investors was called to the default of
the city of Atchison, Kans., in ttie
payment of maturing bonds, no sink
ing fund having been provided, and
the city being determined to compel
its creditors to accept new’ bonds at
a rate of interest lower than tho
market rate. The courts promptly
gave relief, although they gave tho
city a few years in which to make up
the default.
More Cities Adopt Plan.
A great many municipalities have
adopted the new plan, and a notable
case is that of Seattle, which a few
months ago issued one to five-year
serial bonds to the amount of $1,00.0,-
000 to pay a debt falling due, al
though the first ordinance for the
payment of the debt provided for
twenty-year bonds. The adoption of
this policy by the State of Louisiana
will go a long way in inspiring the
confidence of investors, and is likely
to prove a model in State financial
legislation, both in Its plan for grad
ual retirement of the State debt and
its provisions for actually guarantee
ing the payments.
