Governor.
April "a, 1918.
To the Chairmen and Secretaries,
County Councils of Defense:
Germany is wining this war!
! am making this statement because
1t ought to be impressed upon our peo.
pie and we ought not heiog the facts.
There is a spirit of optimism abroad
in the land, and as Nation We ought
to retain this spirit, but it ought not
disguise the disagreeable fact that
thus far Germany has been the victor
Our optimism frequently leads to ov.
erconfidence and this feeling of Sc
curity may mean the failure OF West
Virginia to subscribe for her quota Of
the Third Liberty Loan. To fail to
reach that goal would border on dis.
loyalty; to Oversubscrlbe would mean
that the great heart of loyal, sover.
eign state was pulsating with patriotic
heat.
II we are to win this war against
Germany, we must unity aud concen.
trate our efforts. II America is to
be the deciding factor in this struggle
in France, we must provide the money
to maintain our fighting forces in the
field or our boast of freedom becomes
as sounding brass.
Daily our boys are making the SUP.
rene sacrifice for us. Are we to re.
main secure at home and merely rem.
der liployalty We stay.at.homes have
yet to learn the meaning Of the word
sacrifice. We must buy bonds. 1t
does not matter if man has bought
one bond, or two, or three bonds-has
he bought all the bonds he can pay
for?

COTTON

r. New Orleans, June 9.-The net change in cotton prices last week was a gain of 55 to 159 points with July the strongest month. Except on the opening session. when the mar ket was the influence of the first con dition report, showing percentage ol S2s of the normal. the tendency was to advance. At the highest the active months were TO to 1Ss points over, and on the condition report they fell 5' to A points under the previous weeks final quotations. During the week prices moved over a range of 107 to 220 points, July showing the greatest ac- tivity and the widest price changes.
 Covering by the short element was one of the main influences of the week. It was stimulated partly by the rains of the week which caused fear of foul crops. offerings became scanty around the middle of the week and builish traders called the market badly over sold. Straddle operations for while were on a large scale, buyers of July being sellers of October. July was bought because of the strength of spots and October was sold because Of the high condition figures.
 The discount on futures attracted wide attention because of the nearness of the first notice day for July. Clos ing prices for the week quoted July al 26.69c while middlinG spots were at 30.3Sc. This discount was a standing argument for higher prices among bullish operators,

In addition several states already have complained of boil weevil being numerous and wet wea ther would be favorable for the spread of this pest. On the other hand, dry and warm weather would be highly favorable and would justify the claim among the bears that the crop is in better shape than it was on May 25, when the percentage of condition was 3.3 points above the 10-year aver age.
 Developments in the spot department will be of unusual interest because of the maturing July position. the out come of which is causing the greatest variance of opinion.
