Prevailing tendencies suggest con-
tinued rise Gin the cost Of labor.
Scarcity of labor will prevail to such
an extent that costs must rise. With
drawal of workers for fighting pur-
poses and for the expansion of war
time industries will exaggerate the
competition for workers. Women will
undoubtedly be drawn into some ave-
nues of employment. immigration is at
a low ebb. The rehabilitation of the
warning countries will call for a work
ing force already heavily depleted. and
the governing powers will do their ut
most TO prevent emigration. The
operation of the literacy test will like
wise hamper further immigration into
the United States. Labor costs will
rise. The prices of commodities and
services will increase correspondingly
except in those instances where free
dom TO increase prices or charges does
not prevail. In these latter instances
bankruptcy can be avoided only by a
reduction in the volume or quantity Of
service, by extensive economies or by
recourse to the employment of women
or lower grade workers.-Rosioel c. Me-
Crsd, professor Of economies IN Colombia

In d u S trials
Cotton

Early irregularity was followed by
another sharp break in the cotton mar
ket Yesterday. Several months made
new low ground for the movement, in
Guiding October, which sold of to
23.13. or 81 points from the high level
Of the morning and q points under
Wednesdays closing figures. Last
prices were within few points OF the
lowest on the general list, with the
tone irregular, at q net decline OF 10
81 points on September and later de-
liverics.
The market showed resctionary ten
denotes during tho earlier trading
The opening was TO IA points lower
under overnight selling orders, at
tracted by the weakness of Wednes-
dav. The market vey soon steadied,
however, and covering became more
active after receipt of rumors that
Southern authority reported deterlo-
ration of IL per cent in crop pros
meets for the month. There was also
some bullish comment on the western
belt forecast for generally clear
weather, and the market sold some 20
to % points net higher during the
morning. This made rally OF about
35 to as points from the low Level OF
the morning, which seemed to reflect
the covering of the more nervous
shorts. At any rate, demand slackened
and the market broke in the late
trading under renewed reports OIL an
easing spot basis in the South. There
we're also reports that scattered South
ern selling here was more active than
previously, which suggested increased
pressure of hedges.
There seemed TO be some confusion
with reference to the private condition
figures published during the morning.
The report was that a prominent
Southern authority made the condition
70.3. indicating deterioration OF IL per
cent for the month. This appears to
be out of line with the report Of the
previous month. however, and while
the talk of deterioration was disap-
pointment to some recent sellers, the
condition actually mentioned was com
pared favorably with the official ten
wear average of 100. The govern
ment's report on condition Is expected
on Friday Of next weak, and q good
deal Of the scattered buying yester-
day morning was attributed TO desire
TO even-up commitments before the
private reports begin to come in TO
foreshadow its showing. Exports Tor
the day were 15,448 bales, making
241,716 so far this season.

Increasing Use of Silos

About 100000 silos are believed to
be in the United States. with a total
capacity of about 100000 tons, an
average of nearly IS tons per silo.
About 10 tons Of silage can be obtained
from one acre. No census has ever
beon made of the number Of silos,
therefore the crop reporters of the
Bureau Of Crop Estimates have made
estimates for their respective localities.
Silos are on about per cent of the
farms Of the United States; they are
most numerous in the dairy sections
Of the North and East. Their number
is increasing rapidly. Ohio assessors
returns indicate 1880 silos in that
state In 1918, 1908 in 1914, and about
1882 in 1915. Indiana assessors re-
ports indicate 20,306 in March, 1915,
and 1881 in 1915. II is reasonable to
believe that the number Of silos is IT.

of 10 per cent or more year.
Below are given tentative estimates

number of silos and their capacity in
important states:
