The governor has issued a proclamation the
subject in which it is suggested that farmers may
be in need of help in the of seed and work ami

adopted to help such.
County audtors-were called upon to take the initia

ties and in launching movements looking to bigger and
better crops.

While this division excitement was
tense in the house, the Latah council

not ready-it was so hard to draw.
So finally the councilman visited Mr..

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE COTTON MARKET

New York August U.-The cotton 1 market has been very nervous and ir- regular during the past week. After sell on Monday under continuation of the bear movement which began during the middle of the month, prices rallied on covering. Private reports were published suggesting rather less favorable crop
 pr ogress than had been talked of pre-
 viously and some of the advices reaching
 here from the southwest said farmers
 were beginning to haul their cotton back
 from market rather than accept the de-
 cline. It was generally supposed around
 the ring that the technical position had
 weakened on the break of nearly cents "a pound from the high level Of the early
 month and the disposition to cover short
 contracts was also increased by the close approach of the government report
 and of the Labor Day adjournment Tn any event steadier tone developed, with December selling up to 22.5Sc on Wednes- day or little more than 1 cent pound from the lowest. Since then fluctua- tions have been very irregular. and a sharp break right after tke publication was partly recovered with Deuember closing tonight at 21.95c.
 General business has undoubtedly been restricted by conflicting views of peace prospects, and the possibility of fresh crop or political developments over the Labor Day adjournment At times dur ing the week quite an optimistiv view prevailed as to the chances for an early end of the war, but such talk was less in evidence during the last day or two. and market views seemed to be chiefly based upon opinions as to whether the south would rush to sell early receipts or market them gradually
 The government report issued today was in line with recent expectations 1 showing a condition of CTS and an indi- cated crop of 12,499.000 or about half ] million bales above the end-July figures 1

SHARP BREAK ON
 COTTON MARKET
Government Report Sends Prices Down and Market
 Closed at a Loss

New York, August 31.-A sharp break followed the publication of the govern ment's crop report in the cotton market this morning, although the condition was almost exactly in line with average ex- pectauons. December contracts sold off from 22.3Sc to 21.75c but recovered part of the loss, closing at 21 .e5c. The general list closed barely steady at a net decline of r to S7 points.
 The market was quiet, but pretty steady before the crop report was published. First prices were 5 to 10 points higher. and the market worked some r to 20 points above last nights closing figures before the end of the first hour with Oc- tober selling at 22.3Sc and anuary at 22. 34c. This was attributed to further covering for over the report and the approaching holidays. but Liverpool was a moderate seller here and as soon as the government report was published offerings became heavy. Local brokers said it looked as though selling, which had previously been held in check by fears that the crop indication would prove unexpectedly low, was coming on the market. Immediate support was evidently lacking and within l5 or 20 minutes December sold off to I1.uoct hHu dHudTy IO Il.fVc, or aDOuL 4o to 62 points under yesterdays close and 63 to 69 points below the high level Of the morning The break was then checked by covering which became more active during the middle of the afternoon owing to the absence of any southern selling of consequence or other indica tiens of in- creased spot pressure October rallied to 22.24c and January to 2211c but met re- newed liquidation around this level, with bha Inn rntIc oI,a1 lAl f., I1n late trading. The crop indicated by con dition of 67.8 was 12, ,4990 600 bales, an in- crease of about 5oo,00o bales over the figures of last month.

New York. August 31.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Government buying. moderate ex- pansion in regular fall business, light retail trade at the east. exceptionally good crop reports, activity in indus try. liquidation in stock market in- duced by concern over the excess profits tax and unanimity of opinion respecting the expected large propor- tions of fall trade stand out as the eminent features of present day trade conditions. In the larger sense war demands concededly dwarf ordi nary commercial business. but progress in normal channels is seen now that the fall season is near, this manifesto ton being more evident at centers that cater to the agricultural region than in the industrial zones, which later continue active. It is suggested that the industrial workers have felt the burden of the high cost of living In great degree wherefore they are prone to economize while agricultur- ists, largely self-sustaining, have prof ited from the prolonged era of high prices. House trade in the larger staple lines has expanded in a con- servative way, thanks to the presence of numerous visiting buyers in the more important markets. Retails trade ranges from fair to good. the latter word being characteristic of condi- tions in sections where soldiers are encamped, particularly at the south.

IMPORTANT STOCKS
 SUFFER DECLINE.
United States Steel Included in Setback and Closed at
 Loss of 21-2 Points

New York, August Sl.-The first half of messed a repetition of the recent liquida- tion, important stocks losing to 4 points.
 During the midsession rallies of to 3 points were registered cheerfully in equip ments shipptngs and specialties, but the list became unsettled again at the close, mainly on the higher money rates, can loans advancing to per cent.
 For the most part losses were materi- ally reduced and in a few instances alto gether wiped out. United States Steel was the most noteworthy exception, re- acting just before the close on a renewal of heavy offerings
 Steel was at all times the outstanding feature by reason of it's enormous turn over which aggregated about one-third of the days business. Stel opened with 35,00o shares at 1111a to 112A. minus the regular and extra dividends of Az per cent. Soon it fell to 1091z, rebounded to 1oA and as suddenly dropped back, clos ing at 1o9A, net loss of 21s points.
 Other industriais were under similar pressure, but semed in better demand on short covering, which brought about halfway rallies. Coppers also were heavy, but recovered with motors, al- though not before Studebaker had estab- hshed the new minimum of AIS.
 Reading proved the conspicuous among the heavy rails, losing only, slight frac- ton. Bonds were heavy on broader deal- ings. Liberty 31zs varied from 99.90 to 99.s6 Total sales, par value, aggregated s, soc, ,000

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans August 31.--Although there was much bear pressure on the cotton market today at periods, the demand for covers from shorts who did not want to carry their cotton over the triple holidays following the close to- night, was sufficient to bring about a showed a net decline of only to Is points.
 The government report showing a crop condition on August 25 of 67.S per cent of the normal was the main de-
 pressing influence of the session and
 break of about s350 on a bale on the most active months followed it. Selling pressure. however, was not long main tined.
 Around the opening the market stood at net rise of IA to 16 points A very nervous feeling prevailed at 10 o'clock. the time of the issuance of the bureau report, and just when the figures were being read out the market spurted upward violently 10 to 40 points. As soon as the ring be- came aware of the import of the fig ures offerings increased to marked extent and there was a quick slump of 55 to 70 points which put the trad ing months 25 to 31 points under the close of yesterday This was the low of the day. From then on the market had a better feeling on the buying of covers by shorts who wanted to even up over the holidays. In the early afternoon prices were a point or two over the level of yesterdays close.

(Rece1ved over w. E. CampbelFs PT4-
 vate Wire)
 New Orleans. August 31.--While the cot- ton market fell off sharply following the condition report from the government to- day. there was sustained selling from the short side and in the afternoon par ticularly the tendency of holders of short contracts was to even up. The percent age of condition of 67.S about met bear ish expectations, but bears preferred to even up over the triple holidays, fol- lowing the close tonight rather than to increase their load.
 Around the opening there was a rise of IA to Is points. chiefly on short cov- ering, and around 10 o'clock the time of the putting out of the condition fig ures, there was a period of nervousness during which the market spurted up- ward 10 to 40 points only to slump H to 70 points when the ring caught the mean ing of the figures. In the afternoon there was recovery to the level of yes terday's close. At the lowest the trad ing months were 25 to 31 points down net.
 The percentage of 67.8 compared with 70.3 a smonth ago. 61.2 year ago and tho 10-year average of 70s pointing to an indicated crop of 12. 499000 bales without counting linters.
 The crop unquestionably faces severe deterioration in the next few weeks. d deterioration which has already started in some sections of the belt. according to private reports hence we feel that the decline has zone far enough for the time being.
