meeting this afternoon adopted resolu-
tions urging the denomination and re

In d IL s trial
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 % 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 &C
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 bust
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-
ton 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

try offers were said to be smaller, but
the export demand was extremely
quiet, and the market seemed to be in
a waiting position. New oats are ex-
pected to move more freely in the near
future, although in some quarters it is
thought that the increased movement
of wheat may have tendency to check
