PANAMA CANAL SOON TO OPEN
WORK WILL GO FASTER WITH

Shipping Can Possibly Pass by Next
December. with Light Draft Ves-

Washington, Aug. 10.-Latest re
ports from the canal zone announce
that as the result of prospective sub
stitution OF dredges for steam shovels
in the excavation of the famous Guile
bra cut, the canal may be ready for
shipping by next December. Even
earlier than that, light draft vessels
are likely to be passing through the
waterway. for as the greater part of
the canal prism already has been cut
to its final depth, small vessels prob
ably can navigate it safely within a
few days after October 10, next, when
the Gamboa dyke Is to be blown up,
thus admitting to the Culebra level
the great store Of water in Gatun
lake.
The "a steam shovels now in the
cut handle only 100000 cubic yards of
earth and rock per month, which out
put will be greatly reduced as the
depth Of the cut increases and the
available room for shoveling Is re-
duced. Col. Goethals, however. has
assembled Is dredges with a monthly
capacity of 100000 cubic yards and
these will be fioated In the cut as
soon as the dyke is destroyed,
Meanwhile not content with digging
away at the base of the cliffs, the
engineers In their haste to open up
the waterway have begun to tear away

COTTON MARKET SITUATION,
PRICE DEPENDS UPON TEXAS
AND OKLAHOMA.
III Drought Continues Alarm is Felt
Tor Cotton I'm West, Where a Large
crop Has Been Counted Oh.

New orleans. La, Aug. 1O.-This
week the cotton market will be chiefly
concerned with the weather in Texas
and Oklahoma. If droughty condi-
tons continue to prevail alarm is
bound to be felt over the outcome
OF the crop in the western section of
the belt, which this season, is more
important than ever because of the
large acreage planted. From the first
of the year the bearish element in
the future markets of the world has
figured on large crop in the West.
1t Is doubtful If the western belt can
go without good rains much longer
without experiencing sever crop dam
age.
Probably not much attention will be
paid to the eastern belt, as nearly all
states in 1t have had sufficient rain
for the time being and are sending in
encouraging crop accounts. If these
reports continue to improve they may
to some extent, balance unfavorable
from the West. 1t is certainty, how
ever, that continued fair weather west
OF the Mississippi river will cause
buying. Anything like general soak
Ing rains would probably result in
a sensational break.
The movement Of new cotton will
be watched closely this week as there
are signs that the August movement

RURAL BANKING SYSTEM.
SENATOR FLETCHER'S BIDL Is TO
MEET NEEDS OF FARMER.
Measure Proposes System of Banks
Owned and Operated by Farmers,
would Furnish Funds for Long
Ierm Notes Secured by Liens on
Farms not Exceeding Sixty Per
Cent of Assessed Value-FIctchcr
Urges Immediate COnsiderat ton by
Banking Committee and Passage
at Special Session.

Washington, Aug "a national
rural banking system was proposed in
bill today by Senator Fletcher,
chairman of the American commits
sion on rural credits, and also. of
the Federal commission on rural cred
Its, appointed by the president.
The bill proposes a system of local
national rural banks owned and oper-
ated by farmers; a State national ru-
raj bank in each State to be owned
ana controlled by the local banks as
stockholders, and the national rural
bank of the United States, to be locat-
| ed in Washington to be owned en-
tirely by the State rural banks.
TO supervise the proposed chain of
banks there would be created in the
treasury department a division of
rural banking under the direction of
rural banking board" to consist of
the secretaries of the Treasury, Agri-
culture and Labor. The division would
be under the immediate direction of
"a director of rural banking" chosen
by the president.
The main purpose of the banks
would be to furnish funds to farmers
on long term farm bonds or notes Sc
cured by liens on farms at not ex-
ceeding 60 per cent of their assessed
value. Loans would be secured first
by local bank, then by a State
bank and last by the national rural
bank of the United States, and they
would run from 20 to SO years. The
national rural bank is designed to
have. capital and surplus exceeding
100000. 900, while the stock of each
local bank would be limited to ST.
600 900.
Senator Fletcher speaking in the
senate today to urge immediate con
sideration Of the measure by the
banking committee, and it's passage
at the special session of Congress, ex-
pressed approval Of the administra-
ton currency bill as commecial
banking bill, but said it would not
meet the needs Of the agricultural
communities because of the necessity
for long term loans.
The proposed Federal reserve sys-
tenn, the Senator sold, did not offer
such relief and the provisions OF his
measure. he maintained, though not
perfect, would meet the requirements.
