Must Pay to Limit

"All the European Allies have &C.
ctpted the principle that the Central
Powers must pay the cost Of the war
up to the limit of their capacity. The
Allies propose to appoint a committee
of experts to examine the best method
of exacting the indemnity"
In one passage of his program, that
dealing with measures for an increase
of British output, Mr.. Lloyd George
says:
There is one condition for the sue
cess Of all efforts to increase the out
put Of this country, namely, conf
dence. Bolshevism is the poison Of
production. Russia proves that. Rus
sia will not begin the building up Of
a productive system until Bolshevism
has worked itself out"

Mr.. Lloyd George, in his statement
describes the extensive provisions the
Government proposed for dischargine

with the housing and other problems

New Orleans, August 2O-While the cot ton market displayed a weak tone in the early trading today and reacted widely under heavy selling, the disposition was to recover during the afternoon and | fairly steady tone was acquired. The early selling was based on the belief that the reaction was bound to go to considerable lengths and on reports of good rains in Texas. Sellers however, were cautious because of the weekly crop reports tomorrow, which are almost certain to be bullish, and also because of the pending condition report which can hardly he anything else but unfavorable. On the first call October was II points up, but other months were down, and after the call the decline was rapidly in- creased until it finally amounted to 6s to 75 points, compared with the close of yes terday. Good support was offered at this level and recovery followed which car ried the market early nthe afternoon to within F to IT points Of yesterday. Ac- cording to all the information to be had, Texas has received light rains at num- Der of points. but not the geenral soaking rains necessary orelieve the drouth- We are inclined othink, too, impor- tanuce is 5eing put on today's rain, IS the grade of open cotton would be low cred.

New Orleans. August 2e-Reactions from long advance featured the trading in cotton today and at one time the market was depressed to the extent of nearly Ac pound Reports of rains in Texas increased offerings, but sellers were at all times cautious because of fear that the weekly crop reports from the gov err ment tomorrow would be unfavor- able
 October was Il points up on the open ing, but other months were down after the call, the market slid off until it stood 64 to 75 potns from the final points from yesterday. For while the decline was maintained, but in the early after noon strength was shown as the result of fresh buying, induced mainly by the favorable war news of the day and a~Te- covery resulted. The upward movement carried the most active months to IT points over yesterdays final prices. Sell ing pressure increased late in the day and the close was a net loss of 21 to fl points.

LIGHT SHOWERS|N
 TEXAS HARMF u
Market Opens With Break, Much of Which Is Recov-
 cred Later in the Day

New York, August 20-An early break of approximately I cent point was followed by recoveries in the cotton mar ket today, with October selling up from 90 roc to s1.ssc and closing at S1.50e The general list closed steady at net de- cline of s5 to 47 points.
 There was heavy selling at the start on better prospects for break in the Texas pool connection, but otherwise pressure precipitation at two or three southwest er1i points, while private wires suggested that showers had been quite general, and it was noted that yesterdays late forecast had been showers in east Texas. First prices were $ to 1oi points lower and the more active months sold S5 to 1l5 points under last nights closing figures during the first few minutes, with Octo- Der touching 31.60c and January 3o65c. In the case of December contracts this early low level made a decline of ex- actly ? cents per pound from the high record of yesterday morning and after more urgent offerings had been slb- sorbed. prices turned steadier.
 There was some selling for southern account and also by houses with Liver pol connectio, but otherwise the pressure came largely from local sources After the publication of the western belt fore cast, which called for nothing more than showers in southeast Texas, many of the early sellers turned to cover and de- mand was later stimulated by the de- tailed weather report for the Houston district, showing less precipitation than expected. There was also buying of near months by spot house brokers, with October selling up to 3247c, or points net higher, while January rallied to .72c, or within points of last night s close. At this level the market met in- creased offerings, which included re- newed selling by Liverpool and the south and last prices showed reactions of 90 to 45 points from the best. Some of the private wires from Texas said that the light showers reported had been more harmful than beneficial and the de- tailed weather reports showed continued high temperatures in both Texas and Oklahoma.

 Liberty stss continued their upward progress to the new high quotation of 101 IA, many lots changing hands at or near that figure. Other liberty is sues were active but without appre- ciable change.
 A significant development of the day was the adoption of a resolution by the clearing house committee express ing it's entire sympathy with the credit conservation" recommendations recent ly advocated by the federal reserve board. Indefinite continuance of tight money is expected as result Of this action.
 Canadian Pacific was once more the outstanding feature of the investment issues, augmenting it's recent advance with an additional gross gain of points Other transcontinentals were firm and coalers of high and Tod de- gree Reading excepted, were disposed to improve.
 Next to United States Steel, which trayersed it's recent narrow course, end- ing at a trivial gain, Mercantile Ma rif1e preferred was most active, though yielding part of it's 11s point advance.
 American Telephone registered an- other substantial recovery, it's further rise preceding declaration of the regu- lar dividend and Western Union also made up part of its loss
 Gains elsewhere were confined to equipments, Distillers, Industrial Alco- hol and General Motors, the latter making an extreme jump of A points at the close.

Over & R Stewards Wire

New Orleans, August 20.--The great stress which was coming on the make. month ago with the phenomenal change lrl crop prospects which implied radical readjustment of interest, and finally found expression in an advance of 10 cents a pound seems now removed from the market situation and more mod crate action is likely to be seen. The markets are prepared to see the drastic chance in the crop situation represented by a low bureau condition in the early days of September, but the markets have already discounted it in advance. More general rains and cooler weather are sus- taining or improving prospects at pres ent, and the next important stage for the market will be the storm and frost period. If we get through without a de- structive storm and are favored by late fall, the lrescnt price level could suffice for sometime, but if another disaster comes along, the market would respond with vigor. Unfortunately, the tendency of latc years has systematically been to- ward advance in the date of killing frost.
 The map shows fair in the northwest ern quarter; cloudy in rest of belt; gen n- eral rains in central and eastern states; heavy in parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Gorgia; showers in the eastern half of Texas ard cooler east of the river. lnulcallOIS dTt TOT Etlouuy WcitHcT orSA night with general rainfall extending into the western states.i7A cool wave will lower temperatures in the west.
 The market opened 10 points higher on October, but broke from 90 to 60 points during the call on the later positions. mostly on rain selling. On such a good reaction the demand became more willing and rallies followed. The outlook is for bullisl weekly report tomorrow, ror- ticularly on the western half.-John F. Clark X. Co.
