tions urging the denomination and re

In d IL s strial
Cotton

The action Of the cotton market yes
terday showed it's continued sensitive
ness to crop conditions in the South
west. Early reports of showers in Texas
accounted for the opening decline. Raj
lies followed the official Western belt
forecast for clear weather, but prices
eased off again in the later trading on
private reports Of additional rains, with
the close barely steady at net de-
cline Of to II points.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of 2 to 10 points, and the active
months sold 10 to 22 points net lower
right after the call. Local map readers
seemed to take the appearance of show
ers at couple of points in Texas as
pointing to unsettled weather, with a
probability of further showers or rains
over Sunday. Selling on this theory
was checked by the appearance of the
official forecast, and rallies followed on
covering. There was also buying on a
private crop report indicating loss of
about 3 points in the condition for the
first half Of the month, and active
months worked some to 8 points net
higher during the middle of the morn
ing. The advance was checked by real
lzlng around 24.7l for October, how
ever, and the selling became more ac-
tive in the later trading, with prices
working back to nearly the low point Of
the morning.
According to Southwestern authori-
ties, the condition of the crop is 816
as of July g.. compared with their re-
port of 34.7 toward the end of last
month. On the average for the last
ten years the condition has shown a
falling off of 2.S points between the
end of June and the end of July, 20
that the report of yesterday morning
suggested reduced crop indication. 1t
is expected that deterioration in
drouthy sections would become more
rapid should rains fail to appear in the
near future, and the attention of the
trade will probably centre on the
weather map when the market reopens
tomorrow. Reports from the goods
trade indicated continued quiet busi-
ness, particularly in the finer grades
The War Service Committee is still
working upon list of prices applying
to goods of various descriptions based
upon the prices already fixed for staple
lines, and meanwhile business is sub
Jcct to revision. Production is still
curtailed by scarcity of labor, which
becomes more acute during the vaca-
tion period.

The Possible
Future Mark cts

France is rich and will not be poor
when the war is over. Possibly be-
cause of their republican institutions.
and the consequent manner of think
ing, they are the more nearly like
Americans in character of all the peo-
Piles of Europe. Anybody can agree
and get along with a Frenchman, and,
best of all, ourselves. They are a
people Of many qualities, which it took
this war and their sacrifices in it to
understand. For one thing, a French
man of business standing will never,
never make a contract which he does
not expect to keep, nor which he does
not clearly see his way to keep.
Germany has been a big field and
may, at some date unknown, be so
again. The qualities that made Ger
man trade desirable are no longer
there. Her soul is dead, if not ex-
tinct. 1t may survive and after such
metamorphosis we can reflect and may
admit the savage Hun of this war into
the human family again. At present,
keep off!
Financial conditions should be
studied by our best men, just as
France, Belgium and England have men
busy with all these problems now, get
ting ready to meet conditions after
peace. Naturally, unlimited credit
cannot be given. Guarantees will be
required, but much that we can sun
ply will provide the means of paying
for such supplies. Already an inter-
national trade clearing house is being
devised something after the manner
in which j. P. Morgan & Co. acted as
agents for England and France in the
United States. In this way the manu-
facturer, the seller, is relieved for the
long individual credit bother. His bank
at home provides the credit for him to
carry the foreign customer. Also we
need an all-American bank in every big
city of Europe.
Among the big articles that will sell
and everything will sell--is steel of
all kinds, cement, wood furnishings.
windows, doors, f1oorings, fittings of
all kinds, bridges, rails and structural
steel. These and hundreds of other
items can be sold without too great
risk in Europe. The sooner the study
of the market begins the better. There
is no human probability Of a general
resumption of industrial output in
Europe sufficient for the needs until
long after the war. Therefore, iron,
steel, coal, wood, cotton, food supplies
and thousand other products we can
deliver will find a market,
To cultivate this field and prepare
for what common horse sense tells us
must result in the way of demand, the
markets should be studied. | cannot
repeat this too often. Forty to fifty
years ago it was far less easy to in
trodace our manufactures and preju-
dlces were . hundred times hardss 70

the export demand was extremely

thought that the increased movement

Changes Brought
By the War
My memories Of such things run

Europe was settling down and rapidly
developing after the death struggle of
1901 between France and Germany,
and Germany, with fat indemnity of
five milliards Of francs-spot cash

most. The year 1873 was the year of
the great Vienna exposition, and while
the United States did not make large
exhibit there, it showed champagne

other products of American ingenuity
Think, just think, no one had ever
heard over there of a large order of
California champagne! On the other
hand, European crops have been har-
vested ever since that exposition with
increasing numbers of American NOW

Consider the champagne and the
harvesters. There's lesson in them.

yourself drunk and talk your head off
without result if you offer what is not

the unknown date when this terrible
war ends.
To judge what is needed requires
familiarity with conditions and a will

one branch of American manufacture
has been pushed as has harvesting
machinery, and in this branch mowers
and simple reapers were followed by
sheaf binders, and, notwithstanding
the attempts to copy the models or
original devices on the ground, Amer

continue to have it. This success in
