LOOh,. SETTER
PROSPECTS OF ABUNDANT CROP
WITH GOOD PRICES, CAUSES
AN OPTIMISTIC FEELING AMONG
BUSINESS MEN OF THE CITY.

With the prospects of cotton being
good price this season, and with the
general prosperity of the farmers
throughout this section of the state
better than for several years past, the
business conditions of the city are
gradually taking an upward turn, with
every indication that business condi-
tions will be better in Ardmore this
fall than for some time past. Cotton
today was quoted from 10 to 1915 by
local buyers, dependent upon grades,
which is encouraging to the growers
who believe that the prices will range
higher as the season advances. Cen
eral conditions throughout this section
are good the farmers have raised an
abundance of feed which will not ne
cessitate them purchasing to carry
their stock through the season and on
the whole they are in better condi-
tion than for several seasons.
The cotton acreage was greatly re-
duced, but close observers say that
they expect fully as many bales from
wagons here this season as were re-
ceived last year. Others are of the
opinion that the crop will not exceed
$1,000 bales.

BULGARIA ITO WAR
Mobilization Has Put Country on War
Footing and Will Cast Its Fate With
Teutons - other Balkans May Join
Allies.

London, Sept. 22.-BuIgaria is ap
parently on the brink Of war and the
general belief is that hostilities are
imminent.
The military authorities have taken
possession Of the railways and ordi
nary traffic has been suspended.
There is little hope that Bulgaria
will be prevented from joining the
Teutonic allies. Mobilization has put
the country on war footing. Greece
and the other Balkan states are ser.
iousIy astated, indications pointing to
the others joining the entente powers.
Bulgaria's purpose Is not wholly de.
fined, but the Incorporation Of Mace
donia is most sought.
Petrograd dispatches say that the
Russians have escaped In the Wilma
retreat and destroyed everything Of
military value, while with the main
Russian army il is not likely that the
whole force will escape without heavy
losses.
The fighting on the west front is
confined to artillery duels.

COTTON SERIOUSLY INJURED
Boil Weevil in North Texas Will Re-
duce the Yield

w. A. Easley returned yesterday
from a business trip to Henrietta, Tex
as. He states that cotton growers
about Henrietta Wichita Falls and No
coma are greatly discouraged over the
appearance of the boil weevil which
they say are destroying the crop. Big
rams fell at Henrietta and at Wichita
Falls while he was there, and the rain
was not good for cotton. He returned
by way of Fort Worth and says, en-
route here he saw but two cotton
fields where men were at work gather
ing cotton. The price went up yes
lterday, and there is a reasonable
prospect that the crop will be much
shorter than last year, and that the
price will also climb much higher
than it is now.

WITH ONLY TWO MINOR DETAILS
UNSETTLED coNSUMMATloN OF
BIG WAR LOAN is NEAR.
GERMANS ARE IN It.
kuhn-Loeb G. Company and Other
German-American Banking Firms
Will Participate in the Loan to the
Allies.

New York, Sept. 22.-Wall Street
today awaits hourly the news of the
consummation of the huge war loan
of nearly one billion dollars to the al
lies.
But two minor details are now un.
settled Munitions of war will be vir-
tually excluded American bankers
say Formal proclamation of the sue
cess of the negotiations is expected
within two or three days and possibly
within hours. Reports were current
that the entire matter would be settled
today. This was said to be premature.
But there was unanimous confirma.
tion of the report that both parties to
the proceedings were very nearly to-
gether in their plans.
More progress was said to have been
made Tuesday than on any other two
preceding days.
A thorough inventory of what was
accomplished, IL Ndo Sdlu, WOulu 'edu
about as follows:
Members of New York's so-called
pro- German banking houses will help
float the loan. ..,,. ST..
Munitions of war no longer enter
into the topics discussed. While it can
not be guaranteed that they will be
excluded from the loans operation, it
is the present tentative plan to con-
tinue paying for them by shipments of
gold and American securities from
London and Paris to New York.
The size of the loan has been def
nitely agreed to, subject to eleventh
hour revision. 1t probably will be
about 100000, 900.
The notes issued for the loan will
run five years.
These notes will carry a conversion
privilege emitting the holders to sur
render them at maturity, if desired,
for joint Anglo-French government
bonds bearing Az per cent interest
and covering a period of probably
twenty years, redeemable, however, at
