Cotton dropped again Friday as the result of continued selling by bears
and hammering by Pearsall, Liverpool, although the latter bought late
months at the start. The selling was based on the labor unrest abroad and
ron this side.
First prices on the New York Excxhange were 20 lower to 5 points
higher. After the call a small rally ensued, which immediately was fol
lowed by a heavy selling wave, despite decidedly bullish spot news and
, heavy exports. Before the end of the first hour of trading values exhhibited
a net loss of 57 to 78 points, while the market at New Orleans broke 63 to
&1 points.
March contracts in New York dropped to 21.60, May 20.37, July 19.57,
October 18.50 and December 18.29. October, New Orleans, fell to 18.28.
There was some trade buying on the decline. This, coupled with the
stronger technical situation and other encouraging news, caused a halt in
the downward swing just before noon.
It was reported that much of the selling was also based on fears of
spot holders weakening and that shorts were confident and aggressive.
News from Savannah that 18,000 bales of cotton were expected to clear
Friday and that nine ships were loading, with two others to arrive during
» the day, failed to discourage bears. ~
Hugh McElroy, of New York, wired: “It is not often that a cotton
merchant and mill owner advises farmers to hold their cotton, but that is
what W. S. Griffin, of Cooper & Griffin, has done in_an interview in the
Greenville (S. C.) News. He figures that there is no reason for a break in
prices, because of peace, similar to the break that followed the outbreak
of war. He urges unity of purpose and action among farmers to protect
their own interests. He even goes so far as to say that with four short
crops without war prices would have been 40 cents or more.” p
CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Grains were con
siderably gteud\er today, corn opening
% lower with oats prices practically un
changed.
Trading in corn was light and with
f:ut feature with locals buying spar
ingly.
Qals showed little activity trading
being confined for the greater part to
scattered small lot selling
Provisions opened a trifle higher. The
market was dull and unfeatured .

London Epidemic of 1891 Proved
| \
- Cl Eucalypu | .capine Salve)
' .
Is Most Effective Preventive
Known. |
Get out your jar of Eucapine Salvo?
or, if you have none, go to the near
est drug store at once and get a fam
ily jJar of this well-known nose and
throat sterilizer., Sterilize morning
\und night by sniffing the KEucapine
up into the nostrils and back into the
throat, whence it will spread to the
larynx and tonsils, thus sterilizing
* the nose and throat, |
The chief ingredient of Eucapine
Salve is Oleum KEucalypti, the non
poisonous antiseptic whoge powet
to prevent influenza was first discov
ered in the London epidemic in 1891,
In addition, Bucapine Salve contains
just enough camphor, menthol and 01l
of white pine to make it soothing,
healing and delightful to use. Even,
the babies enjoy it. Ask any well
informed physician and he will tell
you that Eucapine, though originally
designed for the mother's use with
her children in colds, croup and to
prevent pneumonia, is the best and
most agreeable antiseptic you can use
to sterilize the nose and throat of
young and old alike.
Note-—~One application of the prod
uct referred to above sterilizes the
Air passages for about twelve hours
agginst diseases contracted through
the nose and throat. Any druggist
can supply you for half a dollar.—Adv.

NEW YORK, Feb, 7.—~There was ir
regularity at the opening of the cotton
market today, near months showing
weakness and late positions steadiness.
The opening range was from 20 points
lower to 8 points higher. With the labor
situation stfll acting as a leading bear
factor, the market also was governed
by liquidation of March, Southern
houses and Liverpool selling.
March in the first fifteen minutes
broke to 22.05, rallied to 22.30 and then
declined again to 22.05. Later positions
by 10:15 o'clock were 25 to 30 points net
lower.
The market was heavily sold by a local
operator and Liverpool, with bulls hold
ing back. Prices fell to a net decline of
57 to 78 points, with October dropping to
18.50. Exgarm were heavy and spot news
bullish. During the late forenoon a bet
ter demand developed, and the local
operator who sold heavily turned a
buyer.
New York 11 a. m. bids to Liverpool
were: March, 21.61; May, 20.41; July,
19.65; October, 18.51.

Nat. Board of Farm Organization
S i hi Feb. I 3
Meets in Washington Feb. 1113
By E. A. CALVIN,
Washington Representative Cotton States Official Advisory Marketing Board
WASHINGTON, Feb, 7.—The semiannual conference of the national
board of farm organizations will be held here February 11-13, and promises
to be the greatest meeting of farmers ever held in this country, The sec
retary of the board, Charles A. Lyman, is receiving numerous requests
for information concerning the meeting and for hotel reservations.
The fact that the world is now passing through its most ecritical
period and that the things done during the next two or three months may
decide the destinies of many peoples for all time, make 1t imperative that
the farmers, along with all other classes of society, be on the wateh tower.
Organized labor is strongly represented at the peace conference and is
making every effort to see that labor is fully protected in the readjust
ment of international affairs. If the farmers are not represented there,
they will have no right to complain if settlements are not to their liking.
At the last called meeting of the board a committee of ten was ap
pointed to represent the farmers of America at the peace conference, and
this committee will receive its final instructions at the coming meeting.
Every farmer in the country who can possibly do so should attend this
great meeting. Write or wire Charles A. Lyman, Secretary, 615 Woodward
Building, for information and for hotel reservations.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-~Corn: Inasmuch as
the present downward tendency of corn
values is a psychological affair, the fol
lowing items Suggest a possible change in
sentiment. The House agricultural com
mittee reports a bill which gives the Presi
dent discretionary powers to continue the
present agency for handling the wheat
Ccrop or create a new ome. Report may be
construed ad meaning a restricted and con
trolled wheat market until the middle of
1920. Another item is a cable from Buenos
Ayres saying that farmers in La Pulnpu‘
are striking and have issued a declara
tion that they will not sell grain unul‘
quoted at its real value and that (m‘)"
will' not plow or sow for next crop. 'l‘he‘
current month is selling at its widest pres
mium over the May, namely 10% cents lt‘
would seem an opportune time to accept
profits on former sales.
Oats—ln the event of any strength in
corn, oats prices should respond sharply
as the recent preasure has come from |
those who anticipate lower prices rather |
than from holders.— Thomson, McKinnon
& Co.
. - -
The Times-Picayune says: “The .«Imnvl
drop in prices Thursday was due to re
ports of the closing down of mills in Fall
River and Providence, and to advices to
the effect that the mill strike in Law
rence, Mass., was spreading. There were
also reports of labor troubles in Southgrn
mills. This slowing down of consumption
in the United Btates,” while ostensibly due
to economic difficulties attending the re
comnstruction period after the war was re
garded by many traders as part of the
propaganda on the part of spinners to foree
down the price of raw cotton by frighten. |
ing Southern spot holders into unloading.
As far as the lack eof business clalmed, it
was pointed out that the retail trade in
cotton goods s brisk, and that there is a
notable shortage of wtocks for eivilian
needs. It was also pointed out that trade
is increasing in Manchester, hence it m‘
probable that sny shortage in domestie
consumption from now on will he mado
up by more active congsumption abroad.”

| : FINANCING IN JAN
iCORPORATE .
AA A AAA AAP PPt AP PPN A AN
Corporate financing in January was unusually large and interesting,
total amount of railroad, industrial and public utilities being $5304,386,060,
as compared with $155.822,700 in January, 1918, according to Dow-Jones &\
Co. In addition to providing for the largest amount of matnrities of any
month in the year, falling due in February, there was a considerable amount
of loans dold for the purpose of expanding business. i
Public utilities made the largest item—sl3B,3o4,loo-—among which
were American Telephone and Telegraph Company five-year 6 per cent
notes for $40,000,000 and New York Telephone Company 5 per cent de
benture bonds for $25,000,0000.
Among the industrial issues, Anaconda Copper Company’s 6 per cent
bonds for $25,000,000 was the largest and most important item, with West
inghouse Electric Manufacturing Company 6 per cent notes for $15,000,000
the next largest.
| Railroad financing was comparatively light, the total being $49,445,000,
of which the largest item was the Southern Railway Company's $25,000,000
three-year 6 per cent notes. These notes were made conspicuous by having
been underwritten by Chicago bankers, although heretofore New s York
bankers have conducted all financing for the company.
While January financing was fairly well distributed between bonds,
notes and stock, there were more long-term bonds sold than at any time
since this country entered the war. In view of the fact that another Gov
‘ernment loan is expected to be floated in April, January financing was
lmnst successful, and gave bankers confidence that the large numbgr of
new loans which must of necessity be floated in the next three montgn to
provide for maturities will he promptly sold and digested. '
The following table shows the amounts of bonds, notes and stock
issued by railroad, industrial and public utility corporations in January,
1919, with the totals for each class of corporation and for each kind of
security:

Approxixmately $100,201,000, or 32.6 per cent, out of the total of $304,-
386,060 financing was for the purpose of retiring maturing securities, This
compares with $2.500,000, or about 1 per cent, in December, 1918, and $27,
199,000, or 18.4 per cent, refunding in January, 1918,

The Infallible Plan
Ist—Hold Your Cotton Until the
Spinners Ask for It
They will ask for it soon because all export
restrictions are being removed; ocean freight
rates are cut; meutral countries will now be
allowéd to buy freely; peace will soon be de
clared and Germany and Austria will then be
allowed to buy cotton. Your 1918 cotton should
not be sold for less than 30 cents a pound basis
middling and should bring that or more if held.
