Texas Farmers Plan
To Gin Own Cotton
President Of the Growers Organiza-
tlon Suggests Cooperative System
In Lone Star State.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, Nov. 16.-
w. d. Lewis, president OF the Texas
Farmers Union, in discussing the pol
icy of the union for the coming year,
says; I'VE are just learning to work
together. and | am much encouraged
over the reception Of my suggestion
that the farmers own the cotton gins
and operate them on a cooperative
basis. We have 1900 gins in Texas,
valued at $4,000, 900, and the farmers
of the State can take the gins over
and save the cotton growers $1,000
900 to $1O,OoO.OoO per annum. which
is now paid the owners In dividends.
1t will also give the Farmers Union
control of the sale of the cotton seed
and several million dollars more can
be put into the pockets OF the farm
ers, thereby getting just price for
the seed"

Railway Dividends
Decline in Mexico
Political Troubles Have Depressing
Effect on the Value OF Dollar
"Mex."

LONDON. Nov 15.-The effect Of
the political troubles in Mexico is
portrayed in the dividend declared
for the half year to juno 30 last by
the directors of the Mexican Vera
CRUZ Railway.
1t will be remember that this COM
pany has done very well during the
recent troubles because II has re-
ceived a good deal of traffic, which
otherwise would have gone over 9TH
er lines. The result was that the
earnings for the half year would have
been sufficient to pay dividend at
the rate OF rs per cent had other
things been equal. But they were
not.
The money for payment of the div
idend to stockholders has to be sent
from Mexico City 10 London. and
owing to the severe fall in exchange
instead of dividend of AIS per cent
the stockholders are receiving pay
ment at the rate of only 21-2 per
cent for the six months.
The value of the Mexican dollar
has dropped from 2! pence TO Is
pence, which means that in compari-
son with this time last year every
dollar of profit has to be cut down by
2b per cent before its value to stock
holders can be estimated. Previous
TO the overthrow of President Diaz
the stockholders had been able for
many years to rely on the stability OF

ews by Experts of Finance Industry Crops and Commerce
Light Buying by Spinners
Tends to Aid Cotton Bears
Extensive Long Interests Can Not Withstand
Attacks and Margin Calls-''Spots" Firm.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 15.-with wealth
er relegated to the background as an
influence affecting the price of cot
ton and the traders unable to agree
as to the probable size OF the crop,
there has been a disposition during
the past week to notice other fac
tors. Much concern has been felt
in some quarters as to the outcome
OF the Mexican situation. although
many people think this has been
more an excuse than q cause for the
bearishness among the speculative
element. While it Is felt generally
that the situation is serious and
fraught with much trou lie, few peo-
pie have believed that there was dan
ger of hostilities or that 1t was O
matter to give concern to business or
trade interests. The fact that the
spinners have been buying only mod
erately of the actual has been more
help to the reactionists.
One big factor in the reaction of
prices to a level about IS bale from
the seasons highest was the tech
meal condition of the market. An
extensive long interest had accumu-
lated, much of 1t held by people not
in position to withstand bearish at
lacks and large margin calls. The
wave of pessimism that spread
throughout a considerable part of
the business world, centering large
ly in the big money centers, encour-
aged liquidation by these interests.
The issuance of some bearish crop
estimates and the coming Of the cen
sus figures on ginning larger than
expected, or indicated by the private
estimates, added to the reaction and
caused the spinners to adhere to their
waiting attitude. Having bought
freely since the season opened. they
were in position to bide their time
and give the market a test, even
though the experiment prove little
costly.
Spot Holders Not Scared.
The holders of spots and the pro-
ducers however, did not take fright
at the markets reactionary tendency
and the spot centers did not reflect
willingness to quit the fight and
turn over their unsold crop at what
ever prices were offered. The heavy
movement and the attractive price
naturally induced much selling, but
one Of the main factors in checking
the decline and causing some re-
bound from the lowest levels was the
independence shown by the pro-
ducers Having sold so freely al
ready, and at prices that turned loose

England May Stop
Emigration Frauds
Austria's Action Against Canadian
Pacific Now Regarded as Step
Worth Following.

Special Gable to The American.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-The drastic &C
ton of the Austrian Government
against the Canadian Pacific Railroad
Company, which at first aroused q
cry Of indignation in this country. is
apt to lead to an official investigation
on very similar lines into the methods
of emigration and passenger agents
in England.
While Austria saw in the methods
OF the Canadian Pacific a conspiracy
based on Russian gold to rob her of
young men who were to serve in her
army, and eventually perhaps fight
the armies Of the Car, the complaints
against emigration agents here is that
they use tricks worthy of confidence
sharpers to lure poor and compare
lively poor people into buying tickets
for trans oceanic paradtses which
have no existence but in their own
Imagination.
John Burns for one Is determined
to have the Government introduce a
bill for the purpose Of preventing
emigration agents from making profit
out of the deception Of the ignorant
poor by inducing them to buy pas
sages to countries where there Is no
need for workers.

FISHER TELLS
REASONS FOR
BOND DECLINE
Increasing Demand for New Cap
itaI and Diminishing Supply
Causes Market to Sag.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Deputy
Comptroller Edmund D. Fisher de-
clares the most dlscouraging factor
in municipal financing, or in amy type
of financing during the past few
years. has been the rather steady de-
cline In the price Of high grade bonds
from causes entirely apart from con-
siderations involving the credit of in
dividual cities or individual corpora
lions. Mr.. Fisher said this tendency
has been caused by the increasing
demand for new capital and its dt-
minishiDg supply, ut is expressed"
he asserted, by high interest rates,
high commodity prices, and lower Sc
curity values. Fundamentally, it has
been caused by lessening volume CT
production and a waste of surplus
capital Relatively, prices also have
been affected by the conversion of
fixed forms of investment, through
banking loans, into check currency,
thus increasing the spending tenden-
cy, with its corresponding effect on
prices.
Legislation Will Aid.
SOIIcSlAOu u lneSe QlIlCuIL1eS IN
the United States will come in part
from the passage Of pending legis-
lation- The reserve plan of the pres
ent' national bank act, although it has
developed the time and call money
market for the investment banker,
has also tended to bring frequent
periods of restriction in his business.
The investment banker is primarily
interested in the continuity of good
business, in the reasonable stability
of prices and in giving satisfaction
to his customers. Present pract ice
brings him none of these desirable ell
ements.
The Glass Owen bill will not pre-
vent the investment banker from bob
rowing money on securities during
the time they are in his hands for
placement with the ultimate investor,
but will remove the tendency to slim
ulate prices through a plethoric
money market. Under the influence
OF the new credit and currency law,
which gives fairer opportunities for
the development of business enter
prises throughout the country, there
will come increased wealth and new
opportunities for the investment
banker. This will come through a
broadening demand for investment
securities, and municipal bonds will
again take the place they once held
In the investment market"
Length Of Issue of Securities.
Discussing the length Of issue of
municipal securities, Mr.. Fisher said,
in part: There is much to be said
in favor of Financing loans required
for public improvements on a short
time basis in anticipa ton of future
bond sales If these notes do not cover
period of more than one year This
principle was recently adopted by
Comptroller Pendergast of New
York. Short time notes of this char
acter usually can be negotiated at low
rates of interest so that money for
public improvements can frequently
be obtained in advance of bond sale
at lower rates of interest than the
bonds themselves would carry"

Lovett Finds West in
Estate of Hesitancy"
Despite Signs Of Prosperity, He De,
clares the Business Interests
Are Still waiting"

NEW YORK, Nov. 15,-R. S. Low
EFT, chairman of the Union Pacific
Railroad, declared upon his return
from a six weeks tour of inspection
that, despite the signs of prosperity
in the West, there is feeling OF
hesitancy entertained by business in
terests.
This is very prominently indicated
in the decided falling off in lumber
traffic." said Judge Lovett. THE
sugar beet industry representatives
say they must wait to see what eff
feet the removal of the tariff will
have They do not believe the in
dustry will be crushed, but are very
sure the grower will have TO accept
a lower price for his beets, and 1t is
doubtful whether the consumer will
pay much lower price for the sugar

BUSINESS NOT
DEAD IN MEXICO
DESPITE WARS
Mining ParaIyzed, but Foreign
Trade Grows Under Extremely
Adverse Conditions.

To the many in the United States
who think of Mexico as a land in
which all business is paralyzed and
the home OF people who do little else
than fight among themselves, a re-
cent report from United States Con-
sui General Arnold Shanklin, stationed
at Mexico City, to the Department of
Commerce at Washington, stating
that Mexico's foreign trade last year
was valued at s25s,0O0, 900, United
States currency, will come as q dis
tinct surprise.
Mr. Shanklin does not paint the sit
uation as bright or very hopeful, but
probably not nearly so gloomy as
many In this country have come to
think. OF course, conditions are
worse in the Southern Republic now
than when the year began. The pres
ent trouble, he points out, really be-
gan rs early as February, 1912, and
continued to increase through the
year, causing business depression.
Many Of the large mines were forced
to close down for lack either OF la
hor or of railroad transportation for
ore
Trade Shows Growth.
In view OF these conditions the sur
prise will be that anything like the
amount of foreign business was done
in 1912, when It exceeded that of the
year before by nearly $10,000,000 The
1912 imports into Mexico were valued
at $93.0OO,0O0, and the exports at
$3.50, 000,0 =.
Quite as interesting as the figures
themselves is the fact brought out by
Mr.. Shanklin that the United States
in spite Of the suspected i'll feeling of
the Mextcans toward Americans
bought more from Mexico and sold
more to Mexico than all the rest of
the world put together.
while the foregoing figures" OBJ
serves Mr. Shanklin, show decrease
of more than $6,000.000 in MeXico's
gold exports, the exports Of silver and
other products show a really remark
able increase under the circumstances
Henequen Price Rises.
THE increase In the value of vese-
table products exports, in spite OF dis
turbed conditions existing throughout
the richest agricultural regions, is ac
counted for by the greatly improved
price of henequen, which is the prin-
cipal export of Yucatan. That sec
ton was not greatly affected by the
revolutionary disturbances.
1.-THE budget statement of the Min
lister of Finance for the fiscal year
l913-1914," Mr.. Shanklin continues,
shows that great progress has been
made in the cultivation and produc-
ton of wheat in Mexico; so much so
that it is estimated that the produc-
ton for the present year will equal
the demands of the home market.
Present conditions, however, do not
point to the fulfillment of this hope"

Never in the history OF the develop

his is the least expensive and most
delicate means of conveying our
share in the sum total Of Christmas

While ready-made cards for this
occasion are offered for sale at many
places, these are not so much in

specially engraved. Cards for Christ

as q cordial personal greeting, and

vast sums for relieving financial OBJ
legations, something like 5000, 900
bales having been marketed at an
average price of about IS cents a
pound, or $65 g. bale. the farmer was
not between the mill stones of ne
cessity. Moreover he was not over
awed by the enlarged crop estimates,
which were accepted 80 readily by
the professional speculative element
Also he could not see why the spin
ming world should have been so badly
fooled as to the probable supply and
needs as to have bought so freely al
very high prices and then suddenly
quit buying when a few crop guessers
announced their belief In a yield Of
100000 or more bales. The facts
were largely against such a view.
Short Crop Expected.
The actual figures as to the move
ment of the crop from field to mar
ket and from thence to the mills point
undeniably to a belief on the uart Of
the spinners in the supply being well
below normal requirements. There
has been no year when spinners have
taken so rapidly of the crop, and the
strength shown to date indicates that
there Is room for doubling that the
price discounts the shortage, provided
there is not a mistaken basis in con-
sidering supply and demand. The
next few weeks will perhaps see crop
ideas pretty well settled, for the next
ginning report and the Government s
cumulative estimate will tend to
clarity the situation. Then the course
OF prices will revolve largely around
the general state of trade over the
world and the policy of splnners as to
buying their needs.
About the middle Of the week there
seemed a tendency to turn from the
extreme estimates, encouraged by ad-
vices from many directions telling OF
rapid progress in picking and the
small amount left, and 1t had its eff
feet on speculative sentiment
Another thing that contributed
somewhat to the covering by some Of
the traders who had sold short was
the intimation that the committee of
the New York Cotton Exchange, hav-
ing in charge the fixing of grade
differences for contract deliveries,
would in its report, due November
10, increase penalties on the lower
grades, thus lessening the chance of
using them as hammer for depress-
ing contract prices. In view of the
large proportion of low grades in the
crop and the domination of the New
York contract market over sentiment,
the report Of the committee may
prove quite important.
