REPORTS OF MARKETS COTTON--GRAIN-LIVESTOCK

I the value by reading the market quo tations.
 1t will be worth from one to five million dollars to the farmers of Arkansas if they will sell their cotton on grade. Very few cotton buyers outside of the cities know how to grade cotton, and consequently have not been able to buy cotton or sell it on grade We have the service of government cotton classer to grade your cotton, and it will cost you noth- ing for the grading.
 The government classer grades cot ton on the government standards. The government standards have been adopted by all the principal cotton exchanges and markets in this cOun- try. When your cotton is graded by our government cotton classer it will not be necessary to cut your bale and take sample. The ginner is under bond to take a. fair sample. When it is graded you know the grade and staple. You can guarantee the grade and staple when you offer it for sale. That is better than anybody's sam bling. t
 It is burning shame for the farm- CTS of Arkansas to raise and market g. crop worth hundred million dol- lars and not know the value of their product except what is told them by the local buyer. The shame is only the greater by the fact that very few of the local buyers know the value except what is told them by the cot- ton buyers from the points of concen- tratiOn. Not one. bale in ten is sold by the farmer on grade, and not half is sold by the merchants on grade, but is shipped out in lots without grad ing.
 We now have system of grading that is free to the farmers or mer- chants and either one can send in the gin sample and get 1t graded and then sell on guarantee of grade.
 A good many cotton buyers and gin- ners are trying to discourage the farmers about the law and the system. If the farmers and local merchants could know how much they have both lost in the past they would under stand some of the knocks against the law. Some ginners claim the buy CTS will not bay on gin samples, and buyers will no doubt insist on cutting the bale and taking sample. One cotton buyer in Nashville got six bales of cotton from the samples he cut. from farmers cotton last year, and Nashville markets only about 5000 bales. Practically all foreign cotton is sold on gin samples. Over 100000 bales of foreign cotton is shipped to the United States and sold on gin samples.
 l hope the cotton growers will lend their cooperation under the operation of this new law, and will take ad- vantage of its benefits.

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Sept. 24.-Tae hurri' cane warning for gulf waters gave the cotton market here an upward tendency today and in the first half hour of business prices rose 25 to 2S points. Shorts were buyers of covers and there was moderate fresh buying for long account. The forecast of rains for the eastern belt was con sidered unfavOrable.
 Both short selling and realizing by longs were stimulated by reports Of higher marine insurance rates and a quick slump of about so points fol lowed. At the lowest in the trading up to noon prices were A to 66 points under Saturdays close.

New York Cotton.

New 1ork, Sept. 24-The cotton market was very nervous and irreg- ular during today's early trading The sensational advances of last week evi- dent]y inspired good deal of scat tered realizing but there was re newal of Liverpool buying and orders were pretty well divided. The open ing was irregular at decline of 1 points to an advance of 9 points with October selling at 24.55c and January at 24.2Sc on the call. An early re action carried October off to 24.41c and January to 24.1oc, or about 10 points under Saturdays closing fig ures, but offerings were well taken at tais decline and the market held we'll up to last weeks final quotations to- ward the end of the first hour A Memphis report made the condition of the crop 59.S against 672 last month, indicating deterioration of "A per cent compared with 5.2, the ten year average for September.
 Reports of a tropical disturbance moving northwesterly from the neigh borhood of Cayman Island and a low

 THE ROYAL STABLES

Correspondence of the Associated
 Press.j
 Athens, Aug. 28.-One of the signs that democracy has taken the place of royalty is the public notice that the kings royal stables will be sold at auction. The stables are in the very heart of Athens, occupying a whole block on the two main streets.
 Now that Premier Venize'os has re- stored democratic administration, one of the first moves has been to dis pose of this royal eye-sore in the cen- ter of the city.
 The royal stables have been little short of an arsenal during the excit- ing incidents of the last year. Along side them machine-gun was posted during the. attack on the Yenizelists

MEN WAIVED

AS result of the war there is an enormous demand in all lines of bust ness. both public and private. for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that 1t is a patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue a buscness or teohni- cal training and fit themselves for ser. vice elsewhere. -.e..
 Young men who are n6t in the se. lective draft, are wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help: they need men-great numbers of them-ando must have them. It is splendid, onpprtunity for those who will traAn themselves in bookkeeping, shorthand, Aand other branches of clerical work:
 MT. George A. Mclean, President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock, Ark, advises that the demand for office help has trebled in volume during the last three or four months, and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school. A very large majority could not be filled as there was not a sufficient number of trained students available. MT. Mclean strong ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are looking for an op- portunity and believe in the Do it now" spirit, should, by all means, communicate with Mir. Mclean and learn his plan for assisting yonng peo- pie to prepare for business life.

COTTON GRADING IMPORTANT.
Big Saving to Growers Possible, Says
 Agricultural Commissioner.

The gins are now running and we are kept pretty busy grading cotton for the farmers. Under the new gin law the ginner must take two samples from the bale as it is ginned and seal them. The customer gets one of the samples, and if he wants to he can send it by mail to me or the U. s. Bureau of Markets, Little Rock. and it will be graded and report of the grade and length of staple sent back the next day This will enable the farmer to know exactly what he has to sell. He can keep posted on
