A NATTER OF DUTY.

Tomorrow is the day upon which the
board of supervisors has selected to
20 decide definitely whether or not
they will fulfill the law granting to
MaricOpa county the privilege of ad-
vertising her resources to the world.
The whole proposition seems to hinge
upon the identity of the controlling
spirit of the business mems assoeia-
ton, which has subscribed SO 900 as an
auxiliary fund to be added to the
amount to be appropriated by the su-
peryisOrs for advertising this county
That such trivial question should
deter the board from doing its duty
under the law is amazing. The presi-
dent of the body of business men of
Phoenix and neighboFing towns which
has organized for the laudable pur-
pose of exploring the advantages of

directors His influence can scarcely
extend beyond his own vote. As a
matter of course the president of this
association should be a representative

should Immediately get down to brass
tacks" and do something toward com
plying with the law. Let them no:
only sustain the law. but appoint as

in whom the whole community, re

Individuals should cut no figure in the
advantages to be gained by complying
with the law. The board of super
visors should be permitted to use its
judgment, but that judgment should
be beyond all prejudice

OF course the great taxpayer who
makes all his money and spends all
his money in Prescott, and who never
Tades on the railroad, will try to con-
Yey the impression that he was never
for tax exemption, but every old Arr
zonian knows that he was John
Marion's close understudy. What
Marion thought, he thought After
Marion died and the railroad company
failed to accept the Couriers idea of
how a road should be conducted tax
exemption lost all it's charms for the
great taxpayer. Still, the fact must
not be lost sight of that the Courier
was the original exemptiOnist. It de-
serves credit for that much.

STOCKS WE'RE
 STRONG AND ACTIVE
Reaction After Publication of the
 Bank Statement.
SOME NEW BUYING ORDERS
Bonds Have Been Relatively Less Prom inent, With Price Movements fr- regular Speculative Issues
 Are Generally Higher

New York, August 19.-The stock market was strong and active again t,a'ay after a brief period of hesitation and reaction, after the publication of the bank state nient New buying orders in a few con- splcuous stocks lifted them to the top level of the day. There was some realizing at other points under cover of this bidding up of price and few weak spots made the market rather irregular at the close.
 Yesterdays vigorous upward movement attracted quite a large volume of buying orders to the commission houses and the tone of the market was thus strong from the opening. The weekly reports of the various trade and commercial agencies and the increased earnings of practically all the railroads helped on the upward move- ment. The organized buying in Louisville and Nashville and Tennessee Coal was in evidence and Central Pacific was bid up. Southern Pacific, in spite of large dealings, was held back by profit-taking and shows only a moderate gain in the day Louis- vile rose an extreme 2B, and Tennessee Coal shows a net gain of 312. Takings of St. Paul were on a very large scale and were accompanied by rumors of an inten- tion to declare an extra dividend on the stock.
 Other stocks notably strong were Norfolk and Western common and preferred, the common gaining 1h. Pacific Coast common and second preferred rose 212 points each. Hooking Valley preferred, Atchison pre- ferred American Cotton Oil, National Steel preferred, Steel and Wire preferred and few other stocks show gains of a point or over. On the other hand, Sugar, Brook lyn Transit, the Tobacco stocks and some of the steel and iron stocks were under some pressure and losses are shown here and there in the railroad list in stocks which were only lightly dealt in. The bank statement was rather puZzling in that the deposit liabilities were not increased by as much as the cash and loan increase. But the smalness of the changes left little ground for anxiety After a momentary hesitation traders decided to take the op- tomistic view of the statement. Southern Pacific collateral As when issued were taken in large amounts at gain of per cent. Speculative sentiment has been in a good deal of hurly burly all the week. An inspection of the price list discloses the contrary direction.
 Bonds having been less active relatively than stocks, and price movements have been irregular. The speculative issues generally are higher United States new As coupon have advanced 5sc and new 3s, old As and 5's 4 per cent in the bid price.

The stock advanced on rumors of some favorable impending de velopments While it underwent occasional sharp reactions, it nevertheless displayed great underlying strength. The Hooking Valley issues were also conspicuous and advancing large dealings. Sugar and Brooklyn Rapid Transit were both under pressure and their weakness had detri- mental upon the remainder of the market. mental effect upon the remainder of the market. The industrials quarter as a rule was rather neglected.

 New York, August 19.-According to the Chronicles weekly report Texas picking is making good progress as a rule. Rusti is reported in Texas, Alabama, and Tennes- see and crop prospects have improved in the Atlantic and some of the Gulf states. The amount brought into sight for the week was 39,600, making the total for this season to date of Il 900 against 11,o2 ,OoO last year. Some Alabama reports are poor. Helena has too much rain; prQs- poets at Montgomery have improved Liverpool has sold but four thousand spots today. Futures were one-half lower. Heavy receipts at Houston today, 44O0 against 400 last year, tends to encourage the bear crowd, who calculated on an- other decided decline on account of dis couraging cables. Our opening prices, however, are unchanged to one lower. The Georgia agricultural commissioner estf- mates the yield for that state 500.0O0 below last year. During the morning prices moved up two four yoints, the weather map showing only inconsequential rains at a few stations, and none in Texas. On one hand we are confronted by heavy re- ceipts and on the other by needed rain in Texas, the effect being general apathy. The close was one to two points higher Spots here unchanged.

There was no influence exerted from that quarter. With a few exceptions. the whole market was notably strong Interest was mainly in the grsng. srs, with St. Paul in the lead and in the middle grade issues. The advance all took
 place in large transactions, which were based upon. the behef that an extra dvi- dend of 2 per cent would be declared at the regular dividend period next month In the middle grade Issues the most active features were Southern Pacific, Northern

 Talbot. x PnImer's Cotton Letter
 By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobson
 New Orleans, August 19.-A notable ex- . reption to the general strength to values is found in cotton which has disregarded almost unanimously reports of crop de- terioration by private as well as official sources and lost all of last weeks advance, owing to the publishing of bearish crop guess by the Grand Old Man." which, at the present outlook, seems premature and unlikely to be realized. The Chronicle to- day reports the crop improved by rain in Atlantic and in some portions of the gulf states, shedding and rust in Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas and in the last named moisture is claimed to be needed In this respect we beg to say that the con- servative Chronicle made the complaint of lack of moisture in central and northern Texas as far back as July 29 and there being no rain of consequence in that sec ton since that date it follows that it Is necessarily needing more. Texas is dry with no moro immediate prospect of rain Monday will show delay of rains still Liverpool was disappointing while spots were easier Spinners true to Neill will not take on any more than absolutely necessary unless the cotton market gets on a tower basis. Our market opened lower. but soon regained it's loss and closed at last nights prices. Business is expected for next week to be very brisk, and this should check any downward tendency caused by heavy receipts Houston receipts for the week. 9.17S.

The crop accounts and weather information failed to reveal any marked changes in the situation throughout the belt over night.
