FARMERS OF M'NEAL
 TAKE INVENTORY AND
 FIND GREAT PROGRESS
Ten Years Ago an OccasionaI Ranch Dotted the Sulphur Springs Valley. Now the
 Story Is One of Cultivation.

i M'NEAL. Jan. 7.=The McNeai Basin farmers have taken inventory. Ten years ago. the McNeai Basin and the entire Sulphur Springs valley was one big open range for cattle and horses, with here and there. some 10 miles apart. the home ranch of a lone COW boy.
 Today nearly every foot of the val ley land. that has not been taken by the cattle companies. has been located by hOmeSteaderS. who have fenced their lands and divided the valley in- to one big checker board of farms.
 These settlers have come from all states of the union and some foreign countries. With their desire to get homes for themselves and their fami- lies they have developed their lands, from year to year. sometimes depend ing upon the rainfall to make their crops. but eventually digging wells and installing pumping plants to get their water for irrigation from the great underground supply
 There were AS of these pumping plants in operation in the McNeal Basin during the past season The crops raised under them. during the year just closed, consisted of sweet potatoes. beans, melons. corn. all ,-inds of garden truck. hay and grain The value of this McNeal Basin crop is cOnservatively estimated al SIO0.- o0G.000. Most of these crops were sold in Bisbee and Douglas and the money derived from their sales was put back onto the farms in the way of improvements.
 One new store has been built. mak- ing five stores. at various points in rho valley, which depend entirely up on these farmers for their business. The past year shows a great increase over the year previous.
 Many carloads of fine stock. lumber and machinery have been shipped in 10 the valley. Many new houses have been built Over 50 farmers have bought new autos or motor trucks to carry their produce to the markets. One man alone made over 15O daily trips to Douglas hauling over a ton |. to each load. Over $10.0O0 worth oi sSrSen truck in one season. Figure t for yourself
 Another man took over S2.OOO worth of truck from one acre. which his handy wife and son sold in Bisbee frcsh every day with the aid of their .itaey.
 Many of the farmers raised stock which they put into Silos and fed to cattle and hogs. The women folks have canned many jars of produce.
 The schools have been greatly i'm proved Many miles of valley roads nave been graded and improved.
 Many babies have arrived upon the -sriouS farms.
 Many farms have changed hands and the value of land has increased. A rural free mail dedivery has been es tablished out from McNeal postolfice
 A farmers telephone line has beer strung along the fences cOnnectins l5 farms with McNeal
 A splendid fair was held at McNea and Light Exhibits from these fair. were taken to the state fair and woT many prizes.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

t New Orleans, September 7.--Moder- ately higher prices prevailed in cotton today, buying being stimulated by the low temperatures in the northern dis
 tricts of the belt, and by less anxiety regarding price fixing. The opening was at the advance and the market re- mained higher than yesterdays close throughout the session At the topmost levels prices were 53 to 6S points above yesterdays finals. The close was 2S to |27 points up, net.
 Temperatures as low as 46 degrees in the belt caused renewed anxiety Iooncening the crop, although reports from the interior, on the whole. were in a more favorable vein than for some time past. The cool weather caused more or less short covering. Measuring telegrams from Washington were re- ceived regarding attempts by govern ment boards to stabilize the price of the staple and the better feeling in this direction res Il ed in large operations on the long aide of the market. Late | in the day buying was restricted by the
 opinion. quite prevalent on the floor | that the first ginning figures of the season. due the first thing Monday morning, would be large. This idea
 caused a reaction from the advance late
 lin the day.
 Notice was gwen that the market
 would be closed next Thursday. regis
 ltration day.

 Weekly Financial

New York. September 7.-That the financial powers are determined to leave no stone unturned to restrict credits to constructive and productive purposes was again demonstrated this week when the stock exchange took steps to that anne end By a daily examination of the loans of its members, the exchange hopes to reduce speculation to exceed .ingly moderate dimensions. thereby a'a- ing the federal authorities and To- cal money pools in the work or turther- inc rovernment requirements.
 NIt was understood that the restrictions of tho monetary interests would extend to r,ther markets, including cotton, which made it's most spectacular movement dur ;ng inc week. following the adverse crop report.
 Previous to the action of the stock exchange the market gave much evidence of it's disposition to break into new hlgsi pround Tinted States Steel, among the influstrials. and Union Pacific and Canad- ian Pacific. among the rails, attaned highest prices of the year, their advance being accompanied by many supstantia gains in other quarters.
 Further improvement in the military situation abroad imparted adoitioha strength to international war 1lotatioh> and exchange rates to the allied centers TncidentaIly- remittances to most of the neutral countries displayed concurrent weakness.
 Acceptance by the railway executive; of the federal contract draft settled : controversy of long standing, althougf the terms involved are far from satis factory to many large holders Of raiiwaS securities.

BEER LEGISLATION
 SENDS DOWN CORN
Idle Barley Will Be Used as Feed and Thus Conserve
 Corn Crop

Chicago, September 7.-Prohibition of the manufacture of beer beginning De- cember 1 had a depressing Influence today on the corn market. Largely as a result prices closed unsettled 1sc to l11sc net lower, with October S1.57ls to $1. 5714, and November $1.56h to s1 56l4. Oats finished 1sc to asc off and provisions carrying from Toe de- cline to 25c advance.
 An opinion became widespread that barley, when no longer taken by brew CTS, would be chiefly consumed as feed, ana would thus to a considerable ex- tent reduce the feeding demand for corn. Accordingly, moderate price up- turns which had resulted from week. end evening up of trades and from lightness of receipts were more than counterbalanced. Predictions of a livelier movement of corn to primary centers next week tended likewise to handicap the bulls, and also the 1n- certainty in regard to what showing would be made by the government crou report on Monday
 Oats were governed almost entirely by corn
 Covering by shorts rallied pork from severe decline by lack of support. Higher quotations on hogs to strength . en lard and ribs.

|EW|SH NEW YEAR | CUTSATTENDANCE eeligious Holiday and Loan Ruling Curtail Days
 Trading

New York, September 1.-The stock
 larket made substantial recovery dur
 lg today's two-hour session from the
 hook sustained by yesterdays an-
 ouncement respecting control of mem-
 erss loans.
 Trading was naturally restricted, how yer, by reason of that condition, and he religious holiday also caused re- ! uced attendance of brokers. ! The steady progress of the allied ad-
 ance induced considerable short cover |ng, notably in United States Steel and [ther speculative favorites. Rails also were inclined to strengthen. lthough Union Pacific and St. Paul were |omewhat backward, the latter forfeiting bart of yesterdays gain. Coppers were again in demand and the fertilizer division was firm with active Iobaccos, low-priced motors and their subsidiaries and secondary equipments. Week end news was mainly encourag- Ing, the mercantile agencies once more laying special emphasis on the wars inn berative demands in all branches of in- fustry.
 DeallngS Tn eXcnanSe were HoHliildt V but changes were significant in that they bnce more moved against neutral cen |ers, particularly Spain and Switzerland. The bank statement was noteworthy Tor the large expanson-almost $12o,000- In actual loans. with resultant increase bf almost s9S,Oo0,o0O in net demand de- bosits.
 Investment bonds were steady on linn |ted beatings, the speculative issues evincing slight irregularity. Sales, par kalue, aggregated s2,S25, GOO.
 United States bonds (old issues) were unchanged on call during the week.

COTTON CONTINUES |TSLATEST CLIMB General List Closed Steady
 at a Net Advance of 40
 to GA Points

New York;, September 1.-The cotton ruled generally steady or firm, with oc- tober contracts selling at 347oc, or 6S points net higher and closing at %6Sc The general list closed steady at nei advance of 10 to 64 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 43 to 50 points. and soon sold 5S to 63 points net higher. The nervous ness noted on the late reaction of yes terday seemed to have subsided over. night, while buyers found encouragement in the lower southwestern temperatures, the favorable war news the continued absence of hedge selling and reports that both foreign and domestic trade inter- ests had been buyers of contracts on the break of the previous day
 The cooler weather in the southwest was considered unfavorable for the m- mediate development of any fresh growth promoted by recent rains, but the fore- cast was for warner weather and the early advance met scattered realizing. Reactions of30 or 20 points followed, under December selling off from 34.12c to 33.7 75c, and January from 3i02c to 3.50c, under realizing. Otherwise, however, there ap- peared to be little or no pressure against prices which rallied again in the late trading, closing al 33.95c for December and 33.S6c for January
 While it was considered early for talk of frost. it was noted around the ring that the Jewish New Year comes partic- ularly early this season and think this the forerunner of an early winter. This may possibly have had some influence on the advance. but local brokers said the market was chiefly affected by the bull fish spot advices and q belief that the trade was absorbing contracts below a parity with the views Of southern sellers. Weekend crop reviews suggested that recent rains had benefited cotton in Oklahoma and Arnansas, but were less optimistic concerning Texas

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, September 1.-The unsettled cotton markets of the week contributed to further quiet in cotton goods trading, mills being unwilling to sell while there is doubt of the course government prices may take of the last quarter Of the year. The government continues as very large buyer and the mills have great deal of unfinished work in hand. The latest demand for civilian purposes Is large and while mills hold buyers bacl it bids fair to accumulate and cause those with stock in hands in secondary channels. Jobbers have begun stabiiiziniS prices in keeping wit hthe rules laid down for mills.
 Shortage in bleaching materials ls ahead of the trade in consequence or the accurate demand of the government for liquid chlorine and caustic soda ana the trade is being asked to divert It's demands more to colored goods where possible. l..
 Virtually all the prices required in the price fixing plans of the war lndus- tries board have been announced o'l standard representative fabrics, the pol- icy of the government being 10 accep, quotations named by producers untii such time as the plan is Tn 1uii "ofNihs effect.
 If is the belief of manufacturers anu merchants that the fixing of a price on cotton will assist greatly in steadyins the markets and until that is done there must be recurring periods of uncertainty every three months until new prices are agreed upon Current auotatons are as follows: ,o,fa.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, September 7,-The combi- nation of more reassuring news from Washington and bullish weather develop ments caused 60 point rise in the first trading. The press reports this morning indicate that there is no occasion for alarm over the price fixing agitation.
 This would suggest that the govern ment has no intetion of taking extraordi- nary erepressive action if the trade pays proper regard to the national spirit Of the times of moderation in favor of the greater cause of winning this war.
 The map showed cloudy with general rains in the Atlantics; generally fair rest of the belt. The cool wave pushed further down into the belt, evidently to meet the storm formation which IS shown in the Florida hook. Unusually low temperatures are shown in the lower cotton belt. which is, of course, very un- favorable, as it means an unexpected delay. In view of such weather, hopes for additional production seem hopeless Indications are unsettled, rainy weatner In the southeaste{n portion; generally

ruled generally steady or firm. October selling at S4.7Oc and closing at 34.6Sc. The general futures list closed steady at a net advance of 40 to 64 points. Cooler weather in the southwest acted as bull fsh factor in the days trading. There were predictions of early frosts, and this fact helped run up quotations. Recent rains in Oklahoma and Arkansas are said to have benefited cotton.
 Prohibition of the manufacture of beer after December 1 had a depressing influ- ence in the grain pit as far as corn was concerned. Prices closed unsettled, lSc to 11sc net lower. Oats followed closely upon the heels of corn, dropping off 1sc to sc. Covering of shorts in pork rallied the provision list
