MESA
FOREIGN COTTON MART
PRACTICALLY CLOSED

]. G.. Spangler, cashier of the Mesa
City bank, was interviewed by the
reporter for the Republican in regard
to the financial situation that is con-
fronting the cotton growers of this
section, and TO what extent the banks
were going to be able to help the
growers. He gave the following in
formation:
The foreign market is practically
closed at. the present time, and it
may be some time before a direct
sale can be made to them.
He is pleased to be in a position,
however. to extend financial aid to
the growers in this section. Through
the banks correspondents in New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San
Francisco, they are in a position to
make sufficient loans to cover the
picking and ginning expenses.
loan of cents per pound may
be had on warehouse receipts, and
after the cotton is ginned another
loan will be extended to cover that
expense. as well as the $500 per
acre note.
The present condition of ware
houses and storerooms does not COM
ply with the federal law, and in con-
sequence cotton cannot be held
There is every indication of market
being established early in the sea-
son, and just as fast as the cotton
can be ginned it will be shipped.
There will be no holding of the
crop for speculation or a rise in
price, but the business will be kept
as close up to the gin as possible
Mr.. Spangler wishes the growers to
understand the situation, and that
his bank is not making these loans
for the purpose of speculation, but
is only able to do so because of Its
business connections to keep, foster
and carry to a successful conclusion
the most important industry in this
valley.

 It was necessary for friends to sup port her for, already Knowing that her daughter was dead, she wept bit terIy She threw herself upon the dead body of her daughter, and 1t was with difficulty that she was borne from the room where the body lay.

 The mother of Frank Negry, thir teen, who died in the Norwalk hos pital later in the evening, Mrs Mary Negry of 147 Steuben street, was one of the first to call to see the bodies. Her joy upon finding that he was still alive was pathetic. Immediately fol- lowing this she rushed to the Nor- walk hospital. where her son lay fatal ly injured.
 Her joy was shortlived, for, though physicians did everything in their power to sustain life in the little body, so crushed and so mangled was it, that he Sbreathed his last 3, few hours after reaching the hospital.
