MONEY ID

Financial Market Heartened by Wilson's War Tax
 Message

New York, September 6.-Consider- able progress toward rectifying condi- tions created by the European war was made last week. For the first time since the closing of the stock exchange the domestic financial situation offered hope of a return to normal.
 President Wilson's war tax message to Congress, optimism by the bankers in conference at Washington and the formation of banking syndicate to take care of New York city's matur- ing obligations abroad were conspicu- ous events which heartened the finan- cial community. The decision of the Washington conference to urge the immediate organization of the federal reserve system also is sure to be hailed with general satisfaction.
 Further sensational advances in prices of grains were viewed with con- cern in conservative circles. where the speculative operations in that market are regarded as detrimental. The out look for handling and financing cot ton is improved visibly by readjust ments under way and exports of this staple and cereals are bound to change American foreign debts into credits be- fore many weeks, 1t was believed. z The local money market stiffened during the week on increased scarcity of supply interior banks, in many in- stances refusing to renew loans. Com mercial paper was in better request as result of authoritative statements that the mercantile trade Is rapidly adapting itself to endorsements and handicap. provoked by the war.
 Many reports for July were returned and with few exceptions they reflected decreased tonnage.

 Beyond this. President Wilson appeals to the patriotism of the people. as both partisans and loyal citizens. and urges them to stand firm in the time-of stress caused by the great war in Europe.
 Finally, he says he will he unable to make a canvass of the country in behalf Of the d.mccratic party, as he has been urged strnngls- tc dos
 The letter was in answer to an inquiry from Doremus as to whether the Presi- dent could give his party any of his valuable time,' and his assertion that the Presidents presence amongst the people would be to them source of much gfatification."
 First touching on the great work that Congress has accomplished since the in duction of thsa administration. President Wilson then kYs that "a great pro- gramme&of anether kind is ahead, to which it is nspiriting to look forward.

.EUF FAULA COTTON RECEIPTS INCREASE Average Price for Staple Is Seven and One-Half
 Cents

Eufaula September 6.-(SpeciaL) There was big increase in cotton receipts in Eufaula yesterday and from now on steady flow of the staple is expected here The greater part of the cotton received yesterday was stored and the warehouses will soon be loaded to capacity. although much of the staple will be held on the farm, either in the seed or in the bale. The warehouses of the city today announced an additional storage charge of 10 cents per bale to cover the cost or tiering the cotton while storing it for the farmer. This will probably result in much cotton being held on the farm. Prices paid for cotton in Eufaula this week have run from to cents. The average price, basis middlin, yester- day was "A cents.

MORGAN FARMERS
 WILL HOLD COTTON
 FOR BETTER PRICE
Much Optimism Exhibited in Meeting at Hartselle. Working on Plan to
 Finance Crop

Decatur. September 6.--tSpecial.) There is a strong tendency on the part of the farmers of Morgan county to hold their cotton until the war in Flu rope is over or until the prices are letter than they are at this time. Cot ton has been selling here at about cents a pound and is hard to sell even at that.
 There is considerable amount of talk over the farmers, bankers and busi- ness mems meeting held at Hartselle on yesterday and it is believed that some arrangements can be made to finance the cotton crop of Morgan coun- ty. There were about too farmers, bankers and business men present At the meeting a number of speeches were made. but the meat of the meeting was a motion made and carried appointing a committee of 21 to get together ana form some plan to finance the crop The committee is composed of seven bankers seven farmers and seven busi- ness men. This committee will meet in Hartselle on September and will form some plan at that time.
 Warehouse Plan Favored
 The consensus of opinion is that the cotton should be placed in ware houses, receipts taken and money raised on these receipts. one large wholesale grocery store in Decatur of fered to take warehouse receipts on cotton for money which is due them. They offer to allow cents on this cotton and take the cotton, or else al low u credit of cents on the receipts and hold the cotton until January, l9l6, if necessary, and allow the owner to sell at any time and pay them their bill and take the rest.
 The most of the farmers and busi- ness men are very optimistic. They are of the opinion that the war will close within a few months and when it does close they think this country will have the best times ever experienced.
 The cotton crop in this county Is good and if the farmers can get fair price for their cotton they VIII be in u fine shape financially. But whether the Morgan county farmer can sell his cotton at good price or not the most of them will be in fairly good condition They have good crops of corn, fruitsand vegetables and most of them have plenty of hogs, cattle and chickens. They are selling a lot of produce at this time in the two De- caturs and in Hartselle. The melon crop is the best and largest ever pro- duced in this county
