Funds to Move Cotton.

Funds to Move Cotton.
The bulk of the money went TO the
southern and southwestern states. to be
used Immediately in moving the cotton
crop, vast sum being necessary for that
operation. That further extensive amounts

taken indication of easier money and
prosperous conditions in the country at
large.
The case of Minnesota furnishes an ex-
ample in point. The Treasury sent only
$4,000 to that state, which occasioned
some surprise, as it was thought that
the movement of the big wheat crop
would require more. The fact is. the
Treasury offered Minnesota s2,OOO.OOO. and
the bankers declined with thanks. They
said they could get along with 100000.
Some of the Minnesota banks. 1t is ex-
planned, preferred using their own re-
sources to availing themselves of the
terms attached to the governments offer.
Ten per cent of the required collateral
must consist of government bonds, and
the banks would have to so into the
market and buy bonds where they did
not already have them. The government

do not care to take on any more. The
southern banks had to do SO, because
they need the money badly and can put
it out to best advantage now.
Treasury's Possible Purpose.
The suggestion has been advanced in
banking circles that the Treasury may
be trying to create a market for. and
enhance the price of 2s in this liberal
offer of deposits. 1t is admitted that
IL is not a pleasing thing to any admin
istration to find government securities
declining in its time.
The allotment Of 100000 to the Dis
trict of Columbia Ito move the crops
is not as paradoxical as it may seem
at first blush. The money was given to
Washington banks because Washing
ton loans money throughout the near
by southern states. and a banker said
yesterday that this sum represented
which local banks have on loan in the
south.
Improves Situation.
Financiers say that the action Of the
Treasury in offering the moneys had
good effect upon the general situation.
The mere fact that they could get
money promptly whenever needed
caused many banks to find out that
they were not so hard up after all.
Anyhow, 1T is said. it was mighty COM
forting to them TO know that it was
where they could lay hands on it any
time.
Another effect of the governments
distribution of funds is said to have
been to create an effectual bar to talk
of extreme stringency and threats of
panic in case any element contemplated
starting trouble for mercenary ends

Further Roadway toward higher level
was made by the market on the Consol-
dated Stock Exchange. There were slight
fractional overnight declines reflected by
prices on the $50 O'Clock opening call, but
all offerings were quickly absorbed. and
in the later trading activity increased as
prices rose. The action of the market Tor
the short Saturday session was very
favorably construed by operators holding
bullish views. The news from the flooded
districts was considered to be more en-
couraging. 4 favorable influence was
also exerted by the action Of the metal
shares. which displayed special strength.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Advance, Close Strong in
Moderately Active Trading.

The opening prices on the New YORK
Stock Exchange yesterday carried a
degree of firmness which encouraged
ing that except for the sentiment con-
seQuent al the week end tt outlook
was encouraging for continued tone
OF betterment. Some irregularity was
and an easing off from the high of some
issues which had been remarkably
strong on Friday was in evidence.
There was no sign of marked activity
except in Reading. which was the feat
ure of the early trading and held its
strength so notable on Friday. and at
the end of the half hour this stock was
over a point in advance of its Friday >
closing price. Lehigh Valley. in line
with Readings strong showing. scored
a good advance. and Union Pacific also
exhibited considera BILE vitality.
At the end of the first hour trading
was very quiet and prices sasged'
United States Steel appeared To be
heavy. and was sci, ed by the bears
as "A vulnera BILE stock on which To con-
centrate pressure. but the hopes of the
movement began during the second
hour. when the leading stocks reached
new high figures for the present move
ment The market was given a
stronger character on the buying side
by the fact that the standard issues
were selected for leadership and tn"
advance was more uniform than is
usual on Saturd Y. United States Steel
had vigorous rally which discon-
certed the bear side. and there was a
general scurrying to cover 10y the
shorts.
Some indication of the demand for
funds which will come from the Middle
West as a result of the floods was evil
denced in the early shipments Of money
from this city Yesterday. when sums
aggregating more than SGO0.WU were
sent TO Ohio. The foreign markets
were not as buoyant as on Friday and
the strength of the local market was
not attrib. table To the buying evil
denced abroad. For the time being. at
least. the bank statement yesterday
had a good influence. as it showed a
gain in cash and was generally favor
abe.
Viewed as a whole. the market is in
rather questionable position. so far as
its future is concerned. The money
strain has not been passed. and the
stand taken by the German govern
ment. including in the plan for increas-
ing the military budget a gold reserve
of 100000. 600. is certainly not encour-
aging for the immediate future. Ii
must also he realized that politics in
the form of tariff revision will bob up
again after the strenuous news regard
ing food conditions has subsidized.
Furthermore. at Albany there are ques-
tons affecting. the liberties of the New
York Stock Exchange which must be
recognized.

Newspaper Advertising is
the Best.

Over at Gulfport, Mississippi,
a few days ags, at the meeting
Of the Bankers Association, a
prominent and successful banker
of St. Lon S, advised all the
bankers present to use newspa-
per advertising only. He SAID
to the bankers.
Use your advertising appro.
priation in buying newspaper
space only. You will find it diff
fcult to adhere rigidly to this
decision but it will pay you to
do so" He explained to his as
sociates that the newspaper was
the only medium that reached
all classes and that went into
every home where it is read
by every member of the family.
This is not only true in re.
CARDS to banks, but it is equally
true Of every other business and
profession. Much money is
spent in foolish advertising and
not enough in judicioug adver-
Using. Every advertisement
should carry message to the
people and these messages should
be true and lucid and graphic.
. The newspaper is the best and
in fact the only medium to carry
these messages directly into the
homes of all the people.

TALK TO FARMERS


Since Bovine Tuberculosis is a
contagious disease Of cattle
which is readily transmitted
from COW to man through the
me1inm of milk and meat it is a
disease of much importance from
a human health as we'll as an
economic viewpoint. Bovine
Tuberculosis is gradually on the
increase in Tennessee. 1t is be-
coming more and more wide
spread each and every year. 1t
il cheaper to eradicate Tubercu-
losIs now than it will ever be
again. 1t is to q cattle owners

u say nothing of the protection
Of the milk consuming public
from consumption of tubercular
contaminated milk from such di-
seased cows. Tuberculosis will
put any man out of the dairy or
cattle raising business as surely
Hog Cholera will put any man
him out of the hog raising bust
ness. 1t requires a somewhat
longer time to do it because Tu-
btfculosis is more slow devel-
oping disease. The Twentieth
Century dairyman aud cattle
owner can not afford to allow
even one tubercular cow to re-
main in his herd because one
diseased COW now may mean
! five, ten or even twenty diseas-
ed cows six months or a year
from now. Remember that
there Is absolutely no external
or physical symptom or sign of
tuberculosis in cattle. Some of
the latest and apparently
thriftiest looking animals are
rotten with tuberculosis,
whereas some of the poorest "old
skates" on the farm are entirely
free from this diseose. Fat is
no sign that cow is tubercular,
neither is being poor any sign
that she is affected with Tuber-
culosis. The tuberculan test is
the only means by which any
one is able to diagnose Tubercu-
losis with any degree of certain

test is harmless when applied to

to healthy COW it has no eff

causes an elevation Of the tenn,
perature OF at least two degrees.
The tuberculin test is made
about as follows: Begin taking
temperatures as B p. m. today,
take the temperature again at q
p. M. These two post tempera-
lures are taken in order to de-
termlne the normal temperature

Appointing Postmasters.

Senator Bristow, of Kansas,
has made the unique suggestion
that postmasters who draw as
much as $500 a year be elected
by the people. In Senator Bris-
tow's desire to take the appoint
ment of such office out of the
hands of the president or the
postmaster-general, we heartily
sympathize. What can presi-
dent know of local conditions?
Certainly not enough to select
postmaster. As a matter of
fact the postmaster no longer
comes in contact with the public
as formerly and the adminlstra-
tive details of the office are not
nearly so responsible as to justi-
| fly the salaries pale. We believe
| the time will come when local
postmasters will be under the
civil service rules and will prob
ably be a part of the railway
mail service, which is an admir-.
able organization and is efficient.
There is no reason why the con-
troll of the local postofiice should
not be In the hands of the rail
way mail service. We trust
THAT in the next four years near
ly ell tee presidential offices will
be abolished or placed under a
different organization. The
presidents time should not be
taken up with such appoint
ments, nor should that of the
members of his cabinet. There
is no more reason why inhuen-
tial men in community should
be called on to exert their eff
forts to secure salaried job for
a friend under the government
than to secure him a job under
some private or public corpora
ton. There is really no princi
pie involved in the filling of
these places. They are general
ly used to build up political ma
chimes. The machine has been
pretty we'll battered elsewhere
and its last hold should be taken
away from it in this matter Of

Besides being picturesque

graduate from the latter institu-
