that tine decrease this spring might not be as great as they have been predict ing.
 Against this, however, late in the week, were peace rumors, to which the market was extremely sensitive; the growing improvement in the mill situ- alton in this country, as evidenced by the heavy mill takings also having it's effect. The domestic mill consumption for the last week was 32900O bales as against 196,000 for the same week last year. Exports of cotton goods are continuing large, in fact larger than last year to date, much of the increase coming from the large use of cotton duck and the active trade in Mediter- ranian and African ports.
 This weeks market will be largely influenced by the weather situation as the planting season is well on it's way over the southern half of the cotton belt. The European war will be the second factor to attract attention.
 The local planting situation is bright and prospects for record yields to meet the advancing prices seem assured as extreme care has been taken by local ranchers in their seed selection and in the care and preparation of the seed bed The time for planting Egyptian cotton is drawing to a close and the Mesa. Tempe and Chandler districts re- port an acreage not far behind that of last year. Planting on the north side and in the Glendale districts is being done in increasing amounts under pres ent prices stimulants and the promise of financial aid in handling the crop. A large grain acreage is expected to be planted to short staple varieties after the crop is removed. as planting was successfully done up to the first week in June last year.

Paris, Sept THE next big move
of the Allies-what and where will
it be?
London, Paris, Petrograd and Ber-
lin are anxiously waiting-for it is
understood in the various capitals
that the French and British on the
western front are ready to strike a
terrific blow
The blow that was promised early
last spring!

opinion is this:
That any day now the order will be
given for the first of 3 gigantic at
tacks that have been planned for
months by the Allies.
That the first attacks will be de-
livered against the German forces
massed before Verdun and the third
at Nancy.
The time is ripe! Since the early
part of May the German drive in the
East has been watched with a great
deal of satisfaction. The Russians,
although their retreat has become al
most rout, have by their rear guard
attacks made heavy inroads upon
German soldiers and material.

This, however, will be preceded by an
attack at the southern end of the
German line near Verdun by forces
under command of Generals Won Si-
new and Won Strait.
This is the weakest link of the Ger
man line in the west and their show
of strength will be only intended to
divert the Allies attention from the
front facing the crown princes ar
my.
But, it is predicted, the moment the
German move is started before Yer
dun, Joffre will strike the first of the
blows he has planned. After inflict-
ing as much damage as possible, the
French will fall back, it is believed,
to permit of Joffre's second blow, also
to be delivered at Verdun.
This will be an enveloping move, a
retreat to allow the Germans to surge
forward into the gap and then heavy
thanking attacks by the French, in
the hope of cutting off or rolling
back the German line.
Then the Allies third offensive
move will begin in the region of
Nancy under the direct command of
General Du Bail. This, it is hoped,
will break the German line at that
point and permit Du Bail to drive
through and support Generals Decarry
and Sarrail, commanding the forces
at Verdun, in an attempt to roll
back the German line much as one
would roll up a strip of tin.
Profiting by earlier experiences, the
Allies now have plenty of artillery
and shells on hand to sustain their
drive until a considerable portion of
southeastern Belgium is retaken from
the Germans.
