Federal Aid Necessary

"Federal aid is necessary, says
Harvie Jordon, President Of the
Southern Cotton Association, and
unless this be speedily forthcoming
our cotton growers must suffer.
Continuing, Mr.. Jordon says:
"There is no demand for cotton
at this time in any OF our markets,
while all of the exchanges are
closed. If the movement of the
crop Is restricted by limited demand,
very low prices will ensue unless
arrangements with the Federal Gov
ernment are promptly perfected to
finance a large portion Of the crop
in storage until European peace is
declared. Cotton must be held of
a stagnant market. Federal aid to
the extent of several hundred mil.

centers, and values for the staple

European war. While there are few
Serbs left in Montana, most of them
having responded at the time of their
nations great wars with the Turks and
later with the Greeks, much of the
common labor here is done by Austri-
ans and Italians.
Response to the crisis in Austria will
almost depopulate Anaconda and will
be felt heavily in Butte, for the Aus
trian population there is great. The
railroads will feel it, too.
Should Italy become involved, as
seems certain now, the Northern Pa

roads extra gangs are made up of
Italians.
Little pressure has been felt as yet.

ARMOUR'S MILLIONS
SAVE CHICAGO
FROM PANIC
WHEAT AND CORN AND FLOUR
SUPPLIED AND NOBODY is
CAUGHT IN SQUEEZE.

Chicago, July 31.-Armour's millions
today rescued the wheat trade from
panic. Instead of chaos resulting
from settlement day in the midst
of n war market. with possibly scores
of firms embarrassed and virtual
certainty that bankruptcies few or
many would ensue, the Chicago board
of trade was enabled to maintain the
record of never having closed. no mat
ter how great the emergency and to-
night not Il failure, big or little, had
taken place.
The chief reason was that Is en-
tangled firms and individuals on the
exchange We're freely given by Ar
mour & Co., whatever aid the necessi-
ties of the situation required.
President George E. Marcy of the
Armour Grain company, was the man
who rose to the OCCASION. He quietly
circulated word on the floor partly in
person and partly through his lieuten-
ants, that any member in trouble to-
day need only come to him. Before
nightfall Armour & Co., had taken
over 100000 bushels of open trades
which, if not transferred, were crit-
CdllA III ddIlSeI VI IlOl D0luS Stt1ciS
settled in due contract time, the ex
piration of business hours at the end
of the month.
In addition to the relief extended di-
rectly, President Marcy ordered the
sale of 100000 bushels of wheat in
the open market, and was thus largely
Instrumental in preventing Chicago
prices from paralleling the wild up
ward sweep that in Liverpool today
came ahead of a steep subsequent fall.
The Armour sales of wheat We're
supplemented by simultaneous dis
posal of 100000 bushels of corn and
an equal quantity of oats. These sales
were afterWard covered BY numerous
gradual purchases whenever pit con-
dit.ons would allow without disturb
ing the course of prices.
Mr.. Marcy said tonight: "The
Chicago Board of Trade today owed
a duty to the country not to close. 1t
was not similar case to that of the
stock exchange in New York. Mil
lions of bushels of grain in transit
had to be cared for, and the effect on
railroad and other interests had to
be taken into account. Grains are
| commodities almost wholly unlike
| stocks and bonds"
Possibly clear idea of the strain
that reached a climax today can be
obtained from one well-verifed ex-
| ample. On single trade one firm
here of excellent standing was called
| on for $650,00O in margins-$400,00 at
| first and then on a second demand,
| $3.50, 900

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS,

Chicago, July 31.-With export
trade in wheat as completely stopped
for the time being as if the United
States was the enemy of all Europe,
values on change today declined.
Prices. although steady at the close,
We're sac to 6bc down as compared
with last night. Other net losses
We're: Corn, 3 &c to 4c; oats, 1D1 1sc
to 67lac.
Regardless of how disturbing war
news became today wheat plunged
down grade. The action of exporters
in refusing to make any ocean ship
ments whatever unless for spot cash
in advance proved more important by
far as a market Influence than the
mobilization of millions of soldiers. A
radical lowering of quotations at Liv-
erpool before trading began here
tended also to cool off bullish en-
thusiasts.
Nervousness over several failures in
New York and because of the threat
ened difficulty in the final settlement
of July speculative contracts in Chi
cago was effectually dispelled by one
of the largest and strongest houses
here offering to assist any firm likely
to be unable to meet obligations at
the board of trade clearing house.
Only in minor instances were there
calls for help. Rallies in prices,
though, We're small after the first
hour and at no time during the day
We're of lasting sort.
In the corn market the weakness of
wheat more than offset the effect of
an urgent eastern demand for corn
for domestic distribution. 1t was
found that under war conditions Ar
gentine imports could no longer be
depended on but shippers had no diff
ficulty in obtaining liberal supplies
here.
| Oats, like corn. felt the depression

ing led to a sharp drop in provisions
until packers ceme to the support of
the market. July pork was in de-
