The Nevada County picayune., 1918-10-10

During the week reports continued piling in of towns. cities and communi- ties going over the top, The last available report from district head quarters, Monday night. however, gave DO further counties as having sub scribed their full quotas. Very few counties will have to solicit more than 25 per cent of their quotas, as the people have made volunteer su'- scriptions which will average 75 per cent of the quota for the State.
 The railroad employees have pledg- ss over $500. 1000 and have shown great deal of enthusiasm in the drive. The workmen engaged in the con struction ot the picric acid plant at Little Rock subscribed for more than Sleo.0So.

NJ, GROWN PRINCE!
 WE JAN N0T SToP FOURTH JOAN NOW
ITS AWFUL, THIS INJUSTICE WE HAVE DONE HIM, IS PRINCE
 LlNG'S VAIL.
A MATTER OF SELF-DEFENSE
Pcrsh'ns Is on tho Road to Berlin and It's Too Late to Stop
 Him.

It appears that grave injustice has been done that modest, truth-loving sorely beset nation of Germany. We are made to understand that words speak louder than deeds, for we have 1t from the Crown Prince himself. as stated a few days ago In Budapest
 We do not want to annihilate
 our enemy we mean to
 hold our own and not let ourselves
 be annihilated
 How unjust We have been in believ- ing that Germany wanted to annihi- late anyone or anything It was self defense, pure and simple. Der Tag meant the day Germany should have to defend her honor against a ma licious world. Deutschland Uber Al les" was only the expression of a de sire for long and prosperous life That gigantic bristling murder ma chine that marched through Belgium and smashed it's way toward Paris was but the raising of hand to ward off blow
 Men, women and children were de ported into Germany to protect hu manity. The women and children slaughtered In Belgium and France were killed in selfdefense Poison gas, liquid fire and the 72-mile gun were defensive measures cnly.
 Change Over His Dream.
 But why the sudden change in de. eensive tactics! Why do the German armies suddenly decide that they are contaminated by fighting hundred miles over their own border lines? Ahy have they decided to return to sacred soil'?
 And yet we rather believe the Crown Prince and his five brothers do not want to be annihilated. But why didn't he explain all that before we got start ed on this Fourtf Liberty Loan? We can't stop Pershing, Foch and Haig now, because they are en route to Der lin and we've got to raise the money for the trip.
 Say. Mir. Crown Prince. plead insan- ity That's get you off And in the meantime we must buy bonds and put you out of the crown prince business forever.

OPTIMISTIC VIEW CAUSES REALIZING |. AND HEDGE SELLING
General Cotton List Closes Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 46 to S2
 Points

New York, October L-An opening ad- vance on the optimistic view of the war situation was followed by declines in the cotton market today under realiz- ing and hedge selling. The general list closed barely steady at net decline of 46 to s2 points
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 15 points on renewal of yesterdays buying movement which was encouraged by the firm cables and ru- mors that Turkey was about to ask for an armistice if she had not already done so. There seemed to be more sell ing for southern account than recently, however, while there was profit taking for over tomorrow's government reports and prices soon turned easier. October was relatively weak, selling off from SS.so to 3S0 during the late trading, or CS points net lower, while other active months showed net losses of 50 to 5s points with January selling down from 33Oo to 32SS The close was at prac- ticaIly the lowest point of the day. General business was not active, and much of the trading was believed to represent the closing out of old commit ments on the expectations of rather bearish government reports tomorrow. Two more private crop reports were is- sued, one making the condition 5S.1 against 60 last month and the indicated crop 12. .500, 900 bales, while the other placed the condition at 55.6, compared with the governments figures of 55,7 last month All the private reports so far issued have shown less than the usual falling off for September, the average being 2,6 noints deterioration. The census report giving the amount of cotton ginned to september 25 will be published at the opening and the final condition figures of the season will appear an hour later.
 A few October notices were issued to- day and caused scattering liquidation of that position, while there was also some trade selling to undo hedges.

CHICAGO GRAIN PIT SEES NOTHING BUT
 QUICK ENDING WAR
As a Result Corn Continues Slump, While Oats Are Strengthened by Large
 SeabOard Demand

Chicago. October 1.-Increased be- lief in chances of a quick ending of the war brought about decided fresh set backs today in the price of corn. The market closed unsettled, axe to Sc net lower, with October $1 33 to s1 331 F and November $1.30% to s1.31. Oats finished 9s e a4c off to 3sc up, and pro- visions ranging from s1 decline to 20c advance. ~
 Developments that had bearing on peace monopoliZed the attention of corn traders, and resulted in general selling until values were forced down more than 10c under the high point yesterday. On the extreme break im- portant covering by shorts took place and during the remainder of the session the market was characterized by rapid bulges and breaks. In the end the trade was said to be more closely evened up than had been the case in a long time.
 Seaboard demand checked declines in the oats market. Exporters were un- derstood to have made liberal pur- chases here and at other leading cen ters.
 Owing to improved call from big interests lard and ribs rallied from earlly weakness. Pork received no stimulus and fell the limit allowed for a single day.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 1.--Small ad- vances in the early trading in cotton today were succeeded by moderately wide declines later, under liquidation and hedge selling, and the market fin- ally closed at the lowest levels of the day, net loss of 46 to 51 points
 Opening at the advance, the ten- dency was to improve in the early trading on the strength of war news but at the highest active months were only to 19 points up. Liquidation on the long side was inspired chiefly by the general belief in bearish bu- reau reports tomorrow The most popular forecast for the ginning fiS ures, is 4,0o0.000 bales. while expecta- tions regarding the condition figures ran all the way from 53 per cent of the normal up to 57, as compared with 55.7 month ago, Few people seem to think that the normal deterioration of 5.4 points will be reported
 The weather news of the day was highly favorable. indicating that the best conditions for picking prevailed over the cotton region. This intensi- fled the effect of the anticipations re- garding the condition report. At times the ring found it difficult to absorb offerings which were set down to the account of hedge sellers.

CLEAVAGE BETWEEN
 PEACE AND WAR LIST
 IS MORE DIVERGENT
'sWar Brides" Continue to Hit the Toboggan as News From Front Becomes
 Brighter Each Day

New York, October 1.-The cleverage between war and peace shares became more divergent in today's active and again yielding irregularly to heavy selling, while some of the latter added to gains of the previous day.
 Rather more noteworthy than either of these movements, however, was the confident inquiry for rails, including secondary or low-priced shares. Absorp- tion of those issues was again ascrib ed to excellent statements of earnings.
 Gossip credited no small part of he demand for rails to neutral foreign interests, which are known to have made careful investigation recently into some of the minor lines traversing southern and southwestern sections of the country.
 Among the erstwhile "war brides" Further reactions of to points were witnessed, and United States Steel, never popularly regarded as war stock, made an extreme decline of 3 points on a very large turnover.
 Oils. which dominated yesterdays session with their substantial advances, were under constant pressure, react ing 2 to S points.
 Royal Dutch was the one striking ex- Eeption, holding all but three of it's II F point advance on buying asso- eiated with the more hopeful condi- Nions in eastern Europe.
 Shipping, motors, coppers and vari- pus miscellaneous shares contributed hppreciably to the general strength of the list until the final hour, when Unit cd States Steel was at it's minimum rails forfeited much if not all of their early advances, the market closing with @ heavy tone.
 About the only direct reflection of latest war developments was furnished by the further weakness on neutral exchange, rates on Holland and Switzer- land again sagging.
 Liberty Bonds, the 3ks, excepted, were frmer, foreign issues shading slightly. Total sales (par value) aggre- gated $S,S75,oo0. Old United States reg istered As declined A per cent on sales; others unchanged on call.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans. october 1--While strictly cotton inspirations this morning favored trading for reaction, generals news con- tinued of character to encourage growing optimism over worlds politics as a potent factor toward support.
 Many see in the stronger spots inquiry during the past few days an expression of this optimistic feeling inspired by re- cent highly favorable foreign news.
 The weather map shows fair over nearly the entire belt; no rain; warmer. The cold wave has receded north and tho arrival of cold weather appears delayed. Developments will be slow for a couple of days, but toward Friday the western rain disturbance should move eastward, causing a spell of warm, rainy weather. probably followed by cold wave toward the first part of next week.
 The Journal of Commerce makes the condition 5S.1. against 60 last month, ana says the indicated crop is 12,500 900. with out linters, showing a supply for the season of over 100000 counting the carry lover. Fifty per cent picked against 31 last year. Tomorrow's government ginning report at 9 a. m. and the bureau condition report at 10 a. nl are expected to be bearish by comparison, but the fact of a crop failure, considering large acre age and efforts remained unchanged, also the fact of bullish supply situation in case of restored world consumption. Therefore, while the market opened ir- regular 20 points up to unchanged and
