FLOOD CONDITIONS
 WITHOUT PARALLEL
yoIume of Water Going Down the Mississippi Greater Than Ever BefOre-Gauge at Ark ansas City is 55.7 Feet.
rro,n Today's tFeb. 7.) Gazette:

rro,n Today's (Feb. 7.) Gazette:
 combination of flood conditions never before known has brought the Mississippi river to the highest stage over recorded at Arkansas City and other points. At 6 o'clock last night the gauge at Arkansas City showed s5 feet. In the flood of 1912 the b;chest flood ever before recorded on the Mississippi river, the stage was 55.35. accoi ding to a report by Col. C. McD. Townsend, U. s. A., president of the Mississippi River Commission.
 During the flood of 1912, according to Colonel Townsend's report, the maximum flow of the Mississippi river was 2.3OO.0O0 cubic rect of water per second. or 12 times the amount of water that passes over Niagara Falls her second. The maximum discharge of the upper Mississippi river is es- timated at 450,000 second-feet; that of the Missouri, 900 ,000 second-feet; that of the Ohio ,400,0 900 second-feet; of the Arkansas 450,000 second-feet, and of the Red, 220,000 second-feet. In addition the White. St. Francis, Yazoo, Tensas and Ouachita river pour huge volumes of water to the Mississ- ippi during flood stage.
 The combination which now exists does not include floods. of maximum heights in all the tributaries of the Mississippi. bu. comes nearer than ever before to receiving the maximum discharge from several of the rivers. The Arkansas, White and Red rivers are practically as high as ever before, and in addition there have been floods in the upper Mississippi, the lower Hhite and the lower Missouri rivers.
 Colonel Townsend's report which in- cludeS addresses delivered before the Interstate Levee Association and the National Drainage Congress, was printed and presented to Congress in 1913, takes up the question of how best to control the floods. Restora- tion, reservoirs, out-offs, outlets and the diversion of flood waters into channels parallaling the river, as methods to control floods are all de- signed as impracticable or too expen- sive and of less value than levees.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Heavy Offerings by Shorts De press Market-Net Loss 13-17 POints.--SpOt Markets More Favorable than Otherwise.

New Orleans, Feb. 6.-Heavy of ferings generally ascribed to short sellers depressed the cotton market last week and the net change in prices was loss of 13 to F points. At the lowest the trading months were 24 to 27 points under preceding weeks close. Coupled with the short selling was more or less liquidation of long cotton, but market comment was that the long side appeared to be well sold out.
 Talk of increased acreage and un- easiness over the international situa- tion were the main bearish influences Against the bearish claims of large planting were the high water in the Mississippi river the high cost of fer tilizers, the organized effort being made to reduce the acreage and the fear of further damage in the boil weevil districts.
 Spot markets were more favorable than otherwise and the unwilling 7 ss of holders to meet declines in the con- tract market, together with some i'm provement in the demand, contributed to steady the tone of the futures mar ket
 This week relations between this country and Germany will be a feature of importance. Until there is a more settled tone to international polite: other questions will fail to have theil usual weight.
