 The fact that gold mining has been placed in the preferred class of industries is good in deed for Alaska should help the producers of gold in the Territory who have been aboring under such handicap Tor the past year. If they to 'eive a bonus on every ounce produced equalize the value of their product, should be done, it would be still better and would De but simple jus ce.
 When we realize that gold can purchase only lbout half what it did before the war, that wages have risen at least 25 per cent and that gold is valued per ounce just what it was before the war we cannot wonder that the big low grade mines should seek relef from ssituation that is well nigh i'm possible.

SLIGHT ADVANCE
 ON COTTON MARKET
But Price Fixing Nervousness Largely OvercOmes Unfavor- able Weather PrOspects-2S to 40 Points Advance.

New York, Sept. 20.-Indications that rather heavy rains reported in the South would be followed by lower temperatures with light frost in both eastern and western sections of the belt tonight led to quite a sharp ad- vance in the cotton market during to- days early trading, but the market later weakened under renewed lioui- dation, which probably reflected con tlnued nervousness over price fixing The general list closed steady at net advance of 2S to 40 points. It seemed that the selling inspired by the mid week rumors that prices were likely to be fixed at considerably lower lev els had run its course before the close last night and that something of a short interest had accumulated.
 Covering was stimulated also by the failure of Southern hedge selling to assume greater volume.
 A private crop report issued early in the day placed the mid-month con dition at 55.5 against 56 toward the end of June, but stated that Southern correspondents saw little prospects of a crop in excess of II 100000 bales.
 The early advance was partly at tributed to a belief that if prices should be fixed for cotton they were not likely to be under the present basis of good values, but the unfavor- able weather was considered the main factor.
 Spot cotton quiet; middling 33.95c.

THE CAPTURE OF
 ST. QUENTIN IS
 NOW IMMINENT
Means MOmentOus Changes in the Battle Line on the French FrOnt-Matter of Only a Few Days.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Changes in the battle situation in France are fore shadowed by the impending capture of St. Quentin and the clearing of St. Gobain forest, indicated by the un- faltering progress of the British and French armies to be only matter of few days. Both allied and American military officials here are confident that new blows will fall immediately upon the Germans, denying them any rest or chance to reorganize their battered units; but the actual plans of Marshal Foch, supreme command CT, are as much of mystery here as they are in Berlin.
 It now appears certain that General Pershing's first army has for the moment completed its allotted task, having plotted out the St. Mihiel sali- ent and restored to allied use railways of vital importance in future opera tions. In addition, it was pointed out today, the Americans have established positions in the vicinity of Metz which constitute a direct threat at that fortress which the enemy cannot ignore. As yet, however, there is nothing to indicate that the American commander has embarked on the far reaching campaign which would be necessary to attempt the capture of this German stronghold.
 For the moment the allied offensive effort is concentrated on the St. Quen- tin-La Fere-Laon front. There is, therefore, strong feeling here that larger operations which the supreme commander may contemplate in the immediate future hinge on breaking the enemys resistance in this region and forcing him to new retirement.
 The Germans are known to be fev- erishly active in the preparation of new line of defense along a wide front roughly parallelmg the linden burg line and some eight or ten miles farther to the east. Again behind the front, according to information here they are at work on two defensive po- sitions. The extent of these strong lines is not so fully known. It is quite evident, however, that the enemy is prepared to fall back by stages, fighting as he goes, if he is unable, as is now indicated, to hold his present front.
 The capture of St. Quentin and clearing of St. Gobain forest, it is felt here, will almost certainly send the enemy main forces back to the first of his new defensive positions. It is when that movement begins that the moment for launching new of fensive effort will come, in the opin- ion of many observers here
