ORGANIZATION C0NPLE7ED II
 FURTHER EXHIBIT PROPOSITION

Definite action on the placing of an Arizona exhibit at the San Diego fair was taken Saturday afternoon, at the meeting of representatives of various business organizations of the state. They met at the chamber of com merce.
 President Fennemore of the local chamber of commerce called the meeting to order. He then told those present of the offer made by the of ficials of the San Diego exposition. and suggested the first order of bus mess was the appointins-of a chair man, J. E. Owen was then durN>elect- ed chairman, and Harry Welch Nas named as secretary. /
 Help Assured
 Assurances of help in some meas ure was made by some of the dele gates, but as the majority were un- instructed no definite action was promised. Letters gifing encourage meth to the plan, from prominent mining men of the state were read It was suggested that committee from three cities of the state should go to San Diego and examine the offer of space submitted and interview the exposition officials.
 Dr. Norton assured the meeting that Phoenix would be prepared to send 2 delegate. It was wise he said to spend a few dollars now if by doing so many dollars could be saved later. It was suggested that the m ney for the exhibit should be raised by each county in it's own way. It would be necessary to have however. a guarantee from each coun- ty that the amount promised would be forthcoming before definite plans for exhibiting could be carried out
 The chairman reviewed the dis cussion and added many valuable suggestions regarding the need of a suitable location if the exhibit is. to be of value. On motion chairman appointed an executive committee to act on the matter. Three members of the committee to have power to take definite action They are to ap- point their own officers.
 The names of the committee are as follows:

Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 11.-(Special 1.-The
cotton market today reached new high
levels for the season. In the closing
hour, at the top figures, heavy general
selling occurred, due to apprehension over
possibility of German submarine activity
off our coasts over tomorrow, which is
a. holiday here and In all American mar
kets If nothing of a disturbing nature
occurred in the direction indicated or
politically, the market Is in shape to
score substantial advance Friday. Mill
and trade interests will be in no wise az
fected IL a few ships OF the allies are
destroyed, experts of cotton are going on
a liberal scale. American mills are
we'll sold ahead on the basis of 25-cent
cotton and are taking advantage of all
declines to protect themselves with fu-
lures, pending purchases of actual cot
ton. Spot markets are active and higher.
To US the outlook presents no serious
aspects. Short American and Egyptian
crops, tremendous consumption, constant
ly increasing demand at higher levels
for cotton goods, can only mean the high
est prices seen in recent years for both
cotton and cotton futures. We favor
purchases believing much higher prices
inevitable shortly. The oil market worked
to the highest levels ever recorded today,
December sold at 11.70c and closed at
1152c Like cotton without any untoward
event over tomorrow's holiday, we be-
lieve IT will work much higher by Satur-
day, we favor purchases of December. We
believe it will cross IL cents shortly.

COTTON MARKET
BROKE SHARPLY
Prices Down on Renewed
Approximations of Inter
ference With Exports

New York. October u--After showing
great strength and activity with prices
making new high records for all de-
liveries, the cotton market broke rather
sharply late this afternoon, owing to
renewed apprehensions of interference
with exports. January contracts sold up
to 17.55c on the bull movement, or fully
81 per bale above the level OF Mon
day morning, and closed at 1731c, with
the general list closing barely steady,

Orders seemed to be pretty well d.
vided at the start, and after opening I'M
changed to 8 points lower, the early
fluctuations were somewhat irregular.
Liverpool made a very steady showing,
but yesterdays late advance seemed to
have attracted considerable profit TAX
ing, while some selling also may have
been inspired by the failure of the
weather map to show predicted frosts.
On the whole. however. offerings were
very well absorbed and the support soon
became more aggressive. Prospects for
large clearances during the day encour-
aged the buying movement. and 1t was

feature of peculiar interest was the
heavy foreign exports for the day, total
clearances from all United States ports

sidered astonishing in view of Sundays

tation that exports Of cotton for a week
or two at least would be restricted in
consequence.
Peace talk was renewed and stimulated

official weekly weather reports that pick

eating that the plant had quit making.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. October 11.-(special)-Fea
of interruptions to the movement of cot
ton to Europe caused the sharp advance
in Liverpool to exceed the Improvement
here yesterday. This advance brought
arbitrarge buying orders Immediately
after the opening and an advance, which
was stimulated by the prediction of a
large Wall street operator that some
positions would probably sell at IS cents
today. On the advance, however, realiz-
ing orders predominated, SO that when
it became rumored that the British adj
mralty had taken control of all English
vessels SO that none would move without
orders from Halifax, the danger of an
interruption to the export movement of
everything brought about a decline to
the close. Distant deliveries We're the
weakest, as apparently they were sold
as a hedge against early purchases. We
have had war trouble brought close to
our shores and they must be carefully
considered.
All the American markets will be closed
tomorrow, Columbus Day.
The spot market advanced Is points,
middltng being II. 55c.

DEPRESSED
ON WHEAT MARKET
Reports of Heavy Purchas-
ing in Australia Sends
Prices Down

Chicago, October 11.-wheat values
weakened today largely on account of re-
ports that heavy purchasing In Austria
liza by the British government would di-
vert ships away from the United States.
The market closed unsettled 1 point to
nc net lower with December at Sissy
and May at S1.57A Corn lost A63sc
and oats * to 54d9sc. The outcome for
provisions was unchanged to 371kc higher.
Depression in wheat began as soon as
the market opened. Word was at hand
that the first development under the
new plan Of complete government con-
troll of wheat imports for the United
Kingdom was the buying of an immense
stock in Australia, 1s,5O0ooOo bushels. So
far as could be learned, no purchases
at all were made in the United States
and instead of an expected quick in
crease of the number of vessels avail
able for the transport of wheat from
this country, current advices told only
of arrangements for enlarged loadings in
Australia. The bulls were also handi-
capped by continued rumors that stocks
of wheat in Canadian terminal elevators
would be Communicated, and by re-
newal of peace gossip.
Selling on the decline in the wheat mar
ket appeared to be overdone, as raj
lying tendency was displayed at times
during the last half of the session. One
reason seemed to be that the peace talk
did not. appear to have any substantial
fresh basis. but rested on recent state
ments from banking sources that Ger
many was about to make overtures for
cessation of hostilities.
Corn sagged with wheat The prevail
ing fine weather was also an advantage
to the bears. For the most part oats
merely reflected the weakness of other
grain. Selling pressure was not of an
aggressive character
Peace talk was regarded as bullish by
the provision trade. Higher prices on
hogs tended further to lift the market.

Advices from Arkansas say that big
southwestern firm is sweeping the state
for spots and buying everything offered.
Spots at all important points kept pace
with the advance in futures today. This
is the fundamental which is the solid
strength behind the market and until
technical conditions become bad, I see
nothing in tho path of the bulls except
something of a temporary character, like
the sinking of another vessel by subma-
rines in southern waters. There are two
ways In which the latter contingency may
be construed, one is that II may endanger
our relations with Germany. On the other
