 The fall season has brought increasing activity to many industries in the west but the outlook is that manufacturing will be done with smaller profits. This activ- ity, due to crop movement, has not been reflected in the iron trade. Business is quiet and price cutting is more general.

NOVEL SCHEME FOR FINANCING CROPS French-English Syndicate Will Put Up S75,-

sFive Toe"
 Shoes For Children

Montgomery, September 13.-(SpeciaD.- In all probability the most significant note of the Southern Cotton Growers associa- tion, which closed an enthusiastic meeting in this city tonight, was the question of how the cotton crop could be best financ- ed so that the planters could demand a high price for their staple. Various opin- ions were advanced as to the best evi- dent means, all of which were given care full and close attnton.
 The annuncement of c. S. Barrett, C, the Farmers union, that French Eng fish syndicate has guaranteed any amount of money up to s750oO,0O0 to finance the crop brought forth volumnous cheers. This money can be secured, according to MT. Barrett, at per centum interest. On strength of this assurance, the general opinion was manifested that the problam has ceased to be a problem
 In the opinion of W. P. G. Harding, or Birmingham. one of the best known fi- nancers of the south money will not he lacking when it Is demanded He inclined to the belief that the best course to pur-
 
 farmer to come forward with concerted action, make up his mind to demand the price and wait for it.
 Frank N. Julian, former secretary of state and at tire present time associate railroad commissioner, has advanced a novel scheme for the financing of the crop. He is of the opinion that if South. ern citizens will keep their $6O, 900 OOO which they send annually to northern insurance companies, in the south, there will be sufficient funds to take care of every contingency.
 Commissioner E. J. Watson of South Carolina, believes with MT. Julian. Con gressman Underwood. Senator Johnston and other members of the Alabama Con- gressional deegation have all declared that the financing of the crop will take care of Itself when the farmers have come to thorough understanding that the holding of the crop is best
