great diplomacy that the party was
induced to continue. They thought
they had reached home at last.
A Royal Reception.
On returning to Cedar City, the
business mems club gave banquet
at the hotel at which number of
prominent citizens of that city were
present. Among the speakers were
Prof. Homer who told of the great
work being done there by the southern
branch of the Agricultural College.
Ex-senator Lunt spoke of the resour-
ces and opportunities the city afford
ed and others gave valuable informa-
ton. When the time comes and a rail-
road enters this region, Cedar City
and her enthusiastic citizens will reap
ample reward for their progressive
ness. However, prosperity is today
in evidence and, in spite of handi-
caps, will continue to increase.
Continuing to Lund, the party ar
rived at the railroad again and took
sleepers for their several homes. hav-
ing safely made the trip from Zion to
Little Zion and return.
1t was a memorable event and those
who were fortunate enough to be
present have only one regret, and
that is that the say was not longer.
The Association is under deep obliga-
ton Mr.. Warner of the Salt Lake
Route, who made he trip possible, to
Mr.. Farley for looking out for the
party and seeing that we were all "on
time" to Mr.. Parry for automobile
service, to Miss Mccartney for care
in camp, to the Business Mems AS
ISOLATION in Milford, and the Business
Mems Club of Cedar City for their
hearty welcomes, to Editor Wilkinson
who did all he could to make US ac-
quainted with his native heath, and
also to Mr.. Wylie for his hospitality.
Long may the "Wylie Way" survive.

HIGH PRICE OF CORN NOT
due TO FARMERS HOLDING

WASHINGTON, u. c., Aug 2O-That the
unprecedented high price Of corn. is not due to
the belief of the United States department of
agriculture, based on reports just received from
crop correspondents in Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky
Iowa and Missouri These states are typical
Of the great surplus white-corn producing re
gion of the United States the department de-
clares, and their conditions indicate conditions
throughout the corn producing area. The inves-
LEGATIONS disclosed that farmers are holding
only enough corn 10 insure their seed supply
for next spring and to protect their live stock
feeding interests until the production Of a suf-
ficient supply from the present crop Is as
sured; and that the stocks in their hands are
much lower than normally.
Among the conditions making for high corn
prices, according to the department of agri-'
culture, shortage of the 1916 crop and the
carry-over from 1918, increased exports, in
crease in the general level Of prices, and the
increased numbers of live stock on FARMS The
600 bushels short Of the 1915 crop, and stocks
on farms on March l, 1917, were 800, 900, 900
bushels short Of the stocks on farms on the
same date the preceding year. The exports
Of corn in the year ended June 80, 1917. were
were approximately 20 per cent greater than in
the preceding year and about seven times
greater than in the year ended June so, 1914
the year preceding the war. The general level
of prices, it is pointed out. has increased great
" during the last year, especially regarded
foodstuffs. Live stock in the United States
has increased about 300, 900, 900 head in the
past three years, statistics of the department
show, and so has helped to increase the de-
mand for corn for feeding purposes.
With short corn stocks, the department sue-
cialists point out, the highest corn prices are
naturally being reached just before the ma
turity OF the new crop, when the shortage is
most marked. The departments reports point

Excepting portions of the southeastern belt

Sunday favorable. Rains occurred over
the northern half of Texas and in localities of
southeast Texas, in Oklahoma and generally
over the Atlantics, with scattered showers in
the central states. Indications for partly
cloudy to cloudy weather and showers. A rain
disturbance is still over western Texas, with the
promise of further rains in that state. favor
able feature is the total absence of heat spells
that are damaging in the northwest, where tenn
peratures continue rather below normal. 1t is
thought that rains in Texas will raise condition

From Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana come reports pointing to a larger
movement of cotton this week.
Buying was mostly by straddlers, and the
difference between October here and in New

seems inclined to feel easier supply. with
the movement getting under way in the At

NEW YORK, Ang. 2O.-There was very
sharp decline in the cotton market early today.
More favorable weather advices from the south
west seemed to bring out cotton that had been
bought on the drouth complaints of last week,
and after opening steady at a decline of 21 to
% points, the market soon sold 81 10 40
points net lower. Near months were relatively
easy, with October declining to "a. II, or 12i
points from the high level Of last week, while
1l9 points from the recent high level. Near
month liquidation was atkrfbuted to the expec-
tation of freer hedge selling as a result of in
creased progress with picking and sentiment
may also have been Influenced 10 some extent
by rumors that the advisability of placing cot
ton under export licensing regulations was stlll
being discussed.
The official western belt forecast suggesting
that showers would be only in northern parts
Of Texas was followed by %llies of ~ or II
points. but the market weakened again under
continued liquidation. This became more active
after publication of the detailed weather re-
ports for the Houston district showing more
rain than suggested by the early map. Octo-
Der contracts broke TO 24.0S and January to
% 90 making a net decline of As TO % points.
Trading became less active at this level, nut
the market found little support and prices were
within or points Of the lowest around mid
day.
Selling was further stimulated by reports of
easier spot basis in the southwest and prices
worked still lower during the early afternoon
with October selling at % 81 and January at
23.77, GO to 70 points net lower.
