Accommodating Contracts On Cotton
for Use After Great War Is
Over.
BIG BULL CLIQUE OPERATING
Estimated That There Will BE Surplus
On July I, 1915. of Something
More Than Three Million Bales OF
Southern Staple.



The advance In cotton during the
past four weeks has been continuous
and now rules 100 to 200 points over
the prices ruling on August so last
the day of the last government report
on condition. Sentiment distinctly ia
vors higher prices S a result of strong
domestic demand heavy exports and
large sales in Liverpool. English
trade has been active throughout he
month, and American spinners are
working to full capacity. German and
Austrian spinners have been actively
buying cotton or contracts here TO be
held here for use after the war or un-
til some plan is devised or some ar
rangement made TO get 1t into those
countries. The negotiations for the
Anglo French loan include c"npre
hensive arrangements for financing
exports of American cotton. Crop
conditions are reported unfavoraDle.
Heavy rains in Texas during this week
have caused considerable damage. The
next government report is expected to
show heavy deterioration. The pres
ent indications point to a yield of less
than IL ,000. 600 bales for the 1885
season Some eminent Authorities
claim II Will he rs small as ,000. 600
bales. This, however. is simply a mat
ter of opinion and counts for little. IA
the final outcome win depend largely
on the date of the first killing frost.
Large Surplus On Hand.
On the other hand. it is pointed out
that interior stocks and plantation
holdings are larger than ever before;
that II we have a crop this year Of
/ 100000 bales there will be avail
able for consumption for the season
approximately l6. 700. 006 bales to meet
an estimated consumption Of Is. 400
600 bales. and an indicated surplus on
July /, 1916, Of $4,000 bales of
American cotton. Meantime. the move
meHt into sight cat Of THE present
crop is increasing a a rapid rate. and
for the next three months buyers must
be found or loans negotiated on some
thing like $4,000 to 40 600 bales per
day. True. almost any amount Of
money can be borrowed on cotton. but
at what price? Certainly the banks
would not be willing to loan as much
as ten cents per pound, and II can now
be sold at ten cents and over at all
Southern spot market. The Southern
farmer is sensible man and perhaps
he Will sell freely rather than borrow
and pay interest.
Looking ahead it would seem as IL
the present rest had carried prices 70
a level quite high enough. Sentiment
however, is growing more and more
bullish each day. and q strong BUN
clique is said to have been formed
during the past week. Public interest
and public support is increasing, and
while this continues reactions can he
no more than temporary.
Southern spot markets continues to
advance with an active demand in
Texas, and a larger inquiry from
Southern mills in the eastern belt

SENATOR WEEKS FAvORS
1-CENT LOCAL POSTAGE
Believes Greater Volume of Business
Would Forestall Falling OF
in Revenues.

Senator John W. Weeks OF Massachu-
sets. prominently mentioned as a can
didate for the republican nomination
for the presidency next year. has an
nounced himself in favor Of a reduced
postage on letters for local delivery.
He proposes that the rate be reduced
from cents to cent on such letters.
Senator Weeks is a member of the
Senate committee on post Offices and
post roads and while he was a membe-
of the House he was chairman of a
similar committee in that body.
In an interview given out here Sen
ator Weeks said:
"A cheaper rate for local delivery let
tiers would aid greatly in stimulating
business. Considering what II costs
the government to handle local dellv-
cry letters, the rate of postage is much
too high. Should the rate be reduced
from cents to 1 cent 1 believe II
would be of great benefit to business.
and the increased volume OF mail as a
result of the reduced rate would prob
ably cause no material falling or in
the revenues.
Unless legislation made necessary by
the European situation takes up all the
time of the forthcoming Congress-.
believe the drop-letter postage PROPOSE :
ton should and will be taken up in
earnest"

PARIS RENTALS ARE LOWER.
Upward Movement Is Believed to
Have Received Lasting Check.
of the Associated Press.


PARIS, October 2-There are evil
dences that the upward movement of
rentals in Paris has received a lasting
check. A luxurious apartment in the
Avenue de PAlma that rented for 25,-
900 francs a year has just been
leased for 1900. In the quarter of the
Pare Monceau apartments that were
in great demand at 5000 francs are
now offered at 5000.
Before the war in the quarter where
commerce in luxuries flourishes par
ticularly the landlord had never to
seek tenant. He simply marked up
the rentals 10 per cent in anticipation
of the expiration of the lease and
waited for his customer; he was never
obliged to advertise. Today one of the
striking features of these same quar-
tiers Is the long wide band of canvas
that here and there advertises an apart
ment or store for rent. There are
dozens of them on the grand boule-
yardes from the Place de la Concorde
to the Place de la Republique; there
are four in the Place vendome, several
In the Avenue de rOpera and the Rue
oe Ia Paix. Some OF the former ten
ants have gone out of business, some
have sought other less expensive quar-
tiers and others have simply compro-
missed with the landlord; unable to paw
rent. they have given way for any one
who can.
decline In commercial rents and rents
for luxurious apartments will continue
after the war, while small and modest
apartments will be unchanged or high
er. A great many families broken up
by the war and with finances more or
less tied up will abandon large apart
ments and increase the demand for
smaller ones.

BOB WHITE! BOB WHITE." WITS
TIED THE LITTLE BROWN BIRD
ON THE FENCE POST.
Green Forest they never would have to
fear terrible guns and traps.
Farmer Browns boy did his best to
make Bob White understand. He talk
ed to Bob just as if Bob could under
stand. and Bob sat on a fence post and
listened with his head cooked on one
side and his bright eyes fixed on Far
mer Browns boy as if he were trying
very hard to understand.
You see, Bob" said Farmer Browns
boy, beginning tomorrow and for a
whole month you and your family will
be in great danger. OF course. you don't
know what law Is. 1t is a rule made
power to make rules aand we human
folks must obey these rules, which
we call laws. Now there is a law
which forbids US to hunt or harm you
during eleven months of the year. but
for one month it will allow whoever
wants to to take terrible gun and try
to kill you. The law protects you all
through the time when you are working
so hard to help US, and then repays
you by letting any one who wants to
try to kill you. Did you ever hear of
anything more cruel and unjust?"
Bob White, Bob White!" whistled
the little brown bird on the fencepost
quite as If he understood, though, Of
course, he didn't.
Those lawmakers haven't got plain,
ordinary, common sense" continued Far
mer Browns boy. They spend great
sums of money to help US farmers fight
the bugs that would destroy our crops
and then turn right around and let peo-
pie who don't know anything about
farming kill you little feathered people
who do a thousand times more to kill
the bugs and worms than their big
sums of money do, or ever can do. It's
just as If l MIXED old Bossy and then
turned around and kicked the pail
over and spilled all the milk. Did you
ever hear of anything so stupid? And
it's cruel besides. When I'm a man
I'm going to do something to have this
studio, cruel law chaged.
But that isn't going to help you now.
Now this Is what I've come out here to
tell you. AS long as you stay on our
farm you will be safe. Do you see those
on this farm. I've been around to all
the neighbors and asked them to put
up signs, too, and some of them have.
But old Jones over there can't see be-
yond his nose. No, sir, he can't. He
says hunters will pay him to be allow
ed to hunt on his farm and he wants
the money. l just couldn't make him
see that IL he would protect you his
crops would be SO much better that he
would make a lot more money than the
little those hunters will pay him. Now
YOU take my advice and don't go over
on his farm, or allow any of your fam
lily to go there. for whole month Bet
ter still, stay right on this farm. be-
