said Mr.. Thiel, 'to pay what we justly
owe of the $1,000 claim which has been
filed against US by Greenfield & Comp
ton Of Minneapolis. Of that debt we
admit owing 1912 for services render
ed the Equity Exchange by the two
brokerage houses while they were
our representatives in Minneapolis we
established our own terminal market
in that city,"
eve have even offered to pay the
entire bill of $500 if they would prove
their claim but they refused. Now we
have a standing order with our Min
neapolis house to pay the 1912 we adj
nit due at any time Greenfield &
Compton shall demand it"
There is absolutely no truth in the
report that 100000 has been given the
Equity Exchange by farmers for
which no accounting has been made"
On this point Mr.. Thiel was very
emphatic. He said no farmer had
ever given any money to representa-
tives Of the exchange for which he
had not been given an equivalent in
stock, except where popular subscrip-
tons were taken up at the mass meet
/ ings held in different parts of the state
and that the total of such subscrip-
tions would not equal more than $1,000,
all Of which had gone to pay the ex-
penses of the representatives of the
Equity Exchange who spoke at the
mass meetings.
eve will admit" continued Mr..
Thiel, "that we have an $4,000 deficit
on our books, which we have paid out
of the $4,000 capital stock paid into
the organization. But every cent of
the $4,000 has been used to build up
our organization, purpose which is
recognized as legitimate in every line
of business in the world. And every
cent was used with the knowledge and
consent Of big majority of our stock
holders.
"Our books are open for inspection
to any stakeholder, or to the represen-
tative of any stakeholder who has
proper credentials. 1t is claimed we
haven't made any money since the So
ciety was organized, and that in view
of the $4,000 deficit we should be de-
c]ared insolvent. 49,.
eve, on the other hand, claim we
can show an organization sound to the
core, with prospects of doing bust
ness this season the proceeds of which
will wipe out our deficit and leave a
good surplus, and with good will
that is worth more than our entire
capitalization of 100000" ..

'of the cotton crop of the United States
on August 25 was 7S per cent Of a
normal, the United States Department
of Agriculture's crop reporting board
announced at noon today in its fourth
condition report of the season. This
compares with 76.4 per cent on July
70 this year, 6S.2 per cent on August
20 last year, 74.S per cent in 1912 and
1874 per cent the average for the past
ten years on August 25.
Following the last condition report
in July the crop reporting board an
nounced that the condition of July 25
forecast a yield of 179 pounds of cot.
ton per acre, which on the acreage re-
ported July 1, viz: 36,95O would pro-
duce 6,616,OO0,OOO pounds of lint, or
about 13,S50,OOO bales of 500 pounds
gross weight. 1t added that if an al
lowance of one per cent be made for
abandonment of acreage, the forecast
would be 19,725,OO0 bales.
Rain In Eastern Belt.
The official figures of the crop re-
porting board announce the equivalent
in yield of 100 per cent condition on
August 25 as 259.7 pounds per acre.
With an acreage of 36,59O, 400, making
an allowance of one per cent for aban-
donment; the forecast of yield as in
dicated from the August 25 condition
can be obtained in pounds. This total
of pounds may be reduced to 500
pounds gross weight bales by dividing
by 47S.1 pounds the average net weight
of such bales.
During the early part of the month
good rains occurred in portions of the
eastern belt, especially in Alabama and
Georgia, and the crop was reported as
having made satisfactory progress in
those states as we'll as in portions of
the Carolinas and Mississippi where
showers fell. West of the Mississippi
it was hot and dry, especially in Texas
and Oklahoma, where practically no
beneficial rains occurred and the crop
was reported as suffering severely, al
though the early planted was report
ed as standing the drought we'll in
many sections. Bolls were. opening
prehaturely and shedding was report
ed from some localities.
Late Crop Shedding.
Toward the middle of the month the
eastern and central cotton states we're
favored with good weather and cotton
made rapid growth. Picking then was
under way in the southern portions
but delayed somewhat in Georgia by
frequent rains. In Texas the severe
drought was very generally relieved,
especially in the eastern and central
portions, although the late planted was
small and. shedding was reported.
Frequent rains promoted plant
growth in the cotton region during the
latter part of the month, and favorable
progress was reported from nearly all
sections of the belt. Picking was be-
coming quite general in the southern
portions, but was being hindered some
what by too frequent rains, and some
damage was reported from too much
moisture and from shedding, while in
sect pests were reported from num-
ber of localities.

IN HOUSE OF COMMONS
An Amendment for Rejection Of Bill
Defeated in British House Of
Commons by Small Majority.

London.-By majority of 80, an
amendment for the rejection OF the
home rule bill was defeated in the
house of commons Monday night and
without division the bill was given,
for the third time, it's second reading
in the house.
The announcement Of the figures
evoked louder cheers from the oppo.
sition than from the ministerialists
the opposition interpreting them as
gratifying proof of dwindling gov
eminent majority. But the diminu
ton is accounted for to some extent
by the abstention from voting of the
O'Brienites.
The speeches were generally much
more conciliatory in tone than those
which marked the bills earlier pas
sages. John E. Redmond, the Ma
tionalist leader, who opened the de
bate, again held out the olive branch
to Ulster in a speech of impressinf
eloquence, but insisted that it was i'm
possible for him and his colleagues t.
