COUNCIL OF DEFENSE IS
 PATRIOTIC CLEARING HOUSE

The Council of Defense is to be made the patriotic clearing house of the nation.
 The Council of National Defense was created by act of congress Aug. 29, 1916, and the Arkansas State Council of Defense was appointed by Gov. Brough, at the request of Presi- dent Wilson, May 22, 1917. This was followed by the organization of county councils, which was completed several months ago, and then the community council plan was taken up.
 To complete this great organization and bring it down to all individual citizens of the nation, so that they may have a direct and personal part in the great work for democracy, community councils are to be organ ized in every school district, and it is expected that every patriotic resident shall enroll as a member.
 A campaign is being conducted throughout the state for the forma- tion of these councils, and Maj. A. w. Dobyns and C. w. Watson, the state agricultural agent, have held confer ences with the county chairmen and the county agricultural agents at Fort Smith, Eureka Springs, Para gould, Monticello and Texarkana, meeting practically all of the county agents of the state. They are cooper ating most effectively in the work of organization.
 The object of the creation of the community councils of defense is to secure organized and concerted effort from all loyal citizens in aid and SUD- port of the state and nation.
 Community councils of defense are subsidiary to the national, state and county councils and are to cooperate with these bodies in such war activi- ties as may be suggested from time to time.
 Community councils of defense. familiar with affairs in their neigh borhoods, are asked:
 To unite all loyal citizens in every patriotic endeavor for the successful prosecution of the war.
 To stop sedition at home by report ing enemies of the government to those legally in authority.
 To secure increased production of | food stuffs that there may be plenty | at home and abroad
 To conserve food and fuel so that | the soldier may not suffer from lack of nourishment and that industry may not be retarded.
 To insist that every able-bodied citizen shall engage in lawful occu- patton six days in the week.
 To encourage those who are giving their best efforts in the mines, in the mills, on the railroads and on the farms to the greater production of those necessities needed to prosecute the war.
 To apply the lash of public con- demnation to those who give aid and comfort to the enemy through failure to give of their time, money or labor to the cause of the nation.
 To render all assistance possible in for Liberty Loans, War Savings Stamps, Red Cross, and other wfs funds.
 To stop all forms of waste and to

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 21.-After standing at an advance the greater part of the ses- sion today, cotton weakened toward the end under lower spot quotations and went to a slight net decline. closing at I net loss of ? to points. Spots here were reduced unexpectedly 25 points and Norfolk quoted spots lower by Sc a pound, one of the widest spot fluctua- tions for single day on record. In the morning the market rose on short cover ing until it stood 2S to 3S points above the level of yesterdays close. From this there was a drop gradually up to the early afternoon and rather sharp finally, until tne active months were to points under yesterdays final prices.
 The early buying was persistent. al though not in large volume, and bullish traders appeared to have withdrawn their support because of the favorable weather prevailing over the belt ana prospects of favorable set of weekly reports from the government tomorrow. There also was an undercurrent of be- lief that the condition report of May D would be fairly high
 The export movement attracted con siderable attention because foreign clear ances thus far this week from this coun. try amount to 4S,503 bales, against only 9io during the same period year ago.

Over ". E. CampbeIrs Wire

New Orleans, May 2l.--After moderately wide advances in the early trading to- day, chiefly as the result of covering on an oversold market, cotton felt fresh selling pressure in the afternoon, after the quotation of 20 down on spot prices, and fell off to levels slightly under the close of yesterday. At the best of the session the trading months were 2S to 3S points over the closing level of yes- terday. Late in the day they were l to s points under.
 noon, in addition to the drop in spot prices, was the belief in favorable weekly weather and crop accounts from the gov- ernment tomorrow morning. and reports of an embargo on all freight lines rom the Carolinas to New England mill points Although this latter feature could not be confirmed, 1t had the effect of stimulating bearish sentiment
 The weather map again was favorable, being warm and dry, and the forecast continued dry weather for the entire belt
 Weather conditions were not taken ad vantage of by the bears. apparently for the reason that the short following al ready was uncomfortably large The i'm mediate future of the market depends largely on tomorrow's crop accounts and, after that, on the way opinion shapes up regarding the June condition report.
 The first condition period ends Satur- day and bears stand ready to claim q high percentage with good weather be- tween now and that day. We do not be- lieve however, that much of decline can be forced with the short interest as large as it undoubtedly is.-Shepard x Chuck

AN EARLY ADVANCE MEETS SHARP BREAK
General List Closed Steady, IS Points Lower to Five
 Points Higher on Day

New York, May 21.-Rather a sharp early advance was followed by an equal ly sharp break in the cotton market
 during today's later trading. with July selling off from 25.o1c to 2436c. and closed at M57c. The list closed very steady, net IS points lower to points higher, with the new crop generally to 4 points high CT. The market opened steady, at an ad- vance of 14 to H points on relatively steady cables and Liverpool buying, There was selling on the favorable wealth CT map, which caused reactions after the call, but the offerings were readily ab- sorbed and the market soon firrned up again on the continued demand from Liverpool and covering Reports that many mills were sending their buyers here to attend the sale of about 5000 bales of cotton by the alien property custodian tomorrow made rather a bullish impress sion on sentiment and there may have been little trade buying on the rally
 A few stop orders were uncovered on the advance of about 40 to 46 points above last nights closing, with October selling at 24. 15c and December at 24c. After their executive, demand was less active and the market weakened again late in the afternoon on reports of lower southern spot markets. Prices broke rapidly, with October selling off to 23.50c and Decem- Der to 23.44c, making new low ground for the season and a decline of 15 to 2l points on the general list.
 Trade interests were buyers again on this break with the demand from that source more prominent than for several
 days and closing prices showed rallies oi some 15 or 20 points from the lowest Today's revision of spot quotations showed distinct widening between high and low grades. which tended tc strengthen the contract here and prob ably helped the early rally. The board of managers has warned members that the circulation of sensational rurnors will
 be considered detrimental to the best in- terests of the exchange.

New York, May 21.-Stoclxs as a whole today recovered much of the ground lost during yesterdays setback, although the rise was frequently re- tarded by renewed selling. Both in breadth and volume the session was the most contracted of any during the last fortnight

 Baldwin Locomotive again featured che distinctive equipments at wide fluc- tuations, closing at a net gain of a large fraction after having risen almost points. Coppers strengthened 1 10 25a presumably in anticipation of to- morrow's meeting of the producers with the war board, when a higher price schedule is expected. The move ment in rails centered around low priced issues, New Haven Rock Island and St Paul recording substantial ad- vances, some of which were later for feited in part. Reading and Union Pa cific were the only investment ralls to move more than nominally.

Breadth and Volume of Trading Was Most Contracted of Last Fortnight
By JOHN C. MOSES

Stocks in general recovered losses of the previous day, the rise being ire quently retarded by renewed selling Much pressure was brought to bear on United States Steel and acted as de- terrent. IL finally closed with net gain of B. Rails and coppers led another and more general rally in the afternoon at overnight gains of to points Steel also strengthened and later shippings, especially marines, added 1 to points to their top prices of the morning. New Haven specialties, particularly tobaccos and feathers, were active in the final re- actions in shippings and equipments The closing was firm.

Supar Market

New York, May 21.-The market for raw sugar continues steady and un- changed at the fixed level of 4.9S5c Tor Cubas, cost and freight equal to eoooc for centrifugal. Purchases by the com mittee this morn have already eA- ceeded earlier expectations of 300,0O0 tons. and it now seems more than prob able that sugar will arrive here in suf- ficient volume to take care of the early needs of refiners. No purchases by the committee today.
 In refined prices are unchanged at 7.45c for fine granulated. The demand is not particularly active, as jobbers seem pretty well supplied for the time being at least, although some increase is anticipated.
