Cotton Crop For 1912 Second Largest In
 History Of Country

Washington, June 28@The 1912 cot ton crop of the United States was the second largest ever produced and amounted to 14.313, ,O15 bales of 500 pounds gross each, the census bureau announced. today, in making public the final cotton production statistics. They show 8 slight increase over the preliminary production statistics announced March 20.
 The estimated value of the crop is placed at$s2o 6S0,O0o or $6O,7so,OoO more than the record crop of 1911 notwith- standing that the cotton crops for the five years, 1Soe-12, is 4,236, ,s7o, 900, the average price being about 11-7 cents pound or nearly $60 per bale.
 The 1912 crop graded 'n1iddlfng to strict r1iddling,'' and the average price of upland cotton was 12.05 cents per pound. Insect pests seriously af- fected the crop, growers in a large section having to contend with the boil weevu, cotton caterpinars and grass worms. The boil weevu area showed considerable extension but work by the federal and state agri- cultural departments is greatly reduc- ing the destructiveness of the pest.

CREDIT AND THE 1EARK11r.

As strangers we have! come t1, .ruu and ask your hearing, and to the Hr-I tening we will endeavor to give souug views, an honest opinion ana servr to the best of our ability. This our first market letter must needs be 1our- CT than in the future and EtiII ft may be condensed into a very amail compass and that Is covered by the word CREDIT. The world is Gsrf- fer1ng from lack of credit. credit in or lesser degree. Railroad CREDIT. Industria credit has been assaulted through attacks by IegislAtiou, bitter magazine articles, a mfsunderstandfue of the use and the real good of many corporations; so the inventor has sold capitalists have withheld their money money is not seeking investment An yet the mercantile classes have not been affected seriously; we trust they may not be; but if they are to be- then prices may still go lower. but when merchants are suffering most. prices will advance.
 The public at Iarge-nen and vvorn4 en, are all interested in investunentas hence the inquiry, How are thfnEa2ss How is the marl1et?" The answer td the investor is-Watch CREDIT, mako up your mind when 1t is being restor- ed, for we believe prices have dis- counted a great amount Of calamity. There must be great minds who fore see, large wealth generally goes with a great foresight in financial matterss so take it from us, the tape discounts. The tape reflects the brains Of tha world. Did you ever think of that5 Here, at No. 30 P. o. Arcade, you have reflected the financial brains of the world temporarily perhaps obscur- ed by local condition, but in ths long run correct. So we say Credit will indicate the long looked for turn. When people are hopeful! When rall- roads can borrow money for improve mentsi When enterprises can be float edl CREDIT will be HERE unseen. unsuspected, like a thief in the night; and prices will have advanced very materially
 We believe credit is very near t1 showing his face clearly to alls tht values are there, and Credit loves e bargain.
 Yours truly.

BIG EXPRESS RATE REDUCTION

Sweeping reductions in express rates
on parcels all over the country were
ordered recently by the Interstate
CONNER e commission. The reductions
range from 10 to 60 per cent, and are
effective October Is. They will relieve
shippers from e~xorbitant charges. For
two years the rates will be experiment
tai and unless they cause great loss,
will then become permanent.
The rates We're first ordered re-
duced in June, 1912, but after a pro-
test, We're suspended. The reduction
is the result of an investigation begun
some time ago, and forces direct and
close competition between express
companies and the federal parcel post.
Practically all rates on parcels un-
der fifty pounds are lowered On
small packages carried more than 200
or less than 5000 miles, the new rates
are lower than the parcel post rates.
The commission states that any
losses in the future may be replaced
by new business. The order provides
indemnity to shippers of $50 on every
parcel under 100 pounds.
The commission places in effect the
zone system of tariffs, or less than
$4,000 rates for the entire country. A
