Chicago, Oct. 3.-The retail trade In
horses was fairly good. There was no
auction, however. The army trade,
which is expected to continue for some
time was the main feature OF the mar
ket inspectors were working In rapid
order, and the quality OF the horses
submitted was very good, the number
of rejects being rather small.
The biggest demand OF the week was
centered on the good southern mares.
Weighing from 900 to LOO pounds and
on good fat cotton mules. Other
horses, which could not find resting
place with the army inspection. found
a hard market.

Atlanta. Ca, May 9.--Although it
viii be several days before all the Of
fetal returns are in from the 427
counties of the Sixth Federal Reserve
district, it is evident that the unoGl-
cial totals, amounting to $13S,000,O00,
will be maintained, II not surpassed,
Until the Official figures are before
the Liberty Loan executive commit
tee, it will be impossible to determine
those counties in Georgia, Florida and
Alabama which have won the caps Of
fcred by patriotic bankers Of those
states to the county oversubscribing
its quota by the largest per cent.
In Georgia, it is shown that Towns
county is 600 per cent over, while
Bryan county is well above 500 per
cent Chambers county, Alabama, has
the excellent percentage of 500 in its
favor. Just when awards will be
made, however, is still problematical
The dozens of committeeman at dis
trict headquarters who have labored
night and day for the success of the
third loan in the Sixth district are
iUbilant over the unusual showing o,f
the district. There has been feeling
OF optimism all during the campaign,
in spite of the fact that reports from
WASHINGTON steadfastly showed the
Atlanta district at the bottom OF the
list for the field men who were close
" in touch with the work of the many
local committees kept insisting that
subscriptions were coming in splen-
d;dly, and in the main they were com

from the laboring classes who had not

lust before the close of the cam

high official, much to the amaZement
of his co-workers that the district
would go over the top in every one o.
its 427 counties. When the final re-
Suits showed this to be fact, the
qualification of the Liberty loan COM
mittee knew no bounds.
"The people of the Sixth Federal
Reserve district have fully justified
the confidence which the government
has placed in them as American citi-
zers." said NJ. B. Wellborn chairman
of the Federal Reserve Bank. The
