In reply to questions regarding the
eompany's ships taken over and operated
py the United States Shipping Board

would get that ship, he said. was en-
urely in the Shipping Boards power.

A LMOST every great fallacy is founded
"A on truth
THE socialists tell us the world would be
finer, happier, place to live in if every
man owned share of it
And in that they are right.
But
WE believe that Socialism today as a
system of government is, before the
world, failure.
Large opportunity is worth more than
little property.
| N this country ownership of opportunity
belongs to every man, and never was
there freer field or greater opportunity in
America than today.
WE hold that the broader, sound distri-
button of ownership will come with
the broader education of the whole people
in the investment of income.
THE great payrols of the nation do the
wage Garner small service if at the
years end he owns no more than at it's be-

We note that white man con-

Anyway he was young enough to get

him from going. Anyhow, you won't

HOGS FALL FIFTY POINTS

Speculative buying held up the distant
cora months yesterday, when Septem-
her, the cash month, was selling off.
December and May showed some re-
cessions, but always recovered. On the
other hand September slipped cents
from IT, high level of the day at the
close, due to heavy liquidation by those
who wanted to dispose Of their con-
tracts before the delivery passed or the
board. The trade was decidedly bear
sh and perhaps one of the reasons
for the markets not declining when
news was so encouraging to shorts was
that sentiment leaped toward selling. No
one at this time, when everyone is cry
ing for lower prices for foodstuffs and
necessities, cares to be bull. 1t Is
deemed unpatrlotic. Furthermore no
argument for extended advance at this
time can be found. There may be occa-
slonal rallies, but options will tend lower
rather than higher. No reduction in
the crop is expected in the Government
report which twill be issued this month,
The undertone was easier with the close
of X cent to cents.
The rallies during the day were due
to announcement that war time prohibit
ton had been lifted and to reports of
heavy rains and short covering. An
ban, however, proved idle rumor. Re-
ports of heavy rains were true and, be-
cause movement will be hindered, pro-
duced a small amount Of buying and
covering orders. The weakness in hogs
was felt mostly in pork, lard and grains
holding in spite of a drop of so to rs
points.
Oats exhibited n tendency to follow
corn closely and displayed an easier un-
dertone. Their fluctuations, as were
those of corn, were narrow and trade
in them was confined to professionals
Reports of another sale of 100000
bushels for export was not confirmed.
An insider, while hesitating to discredit
the story. claimed that the difference of
eight cents between London and Amer
lean prices was too great. Very little
trading for European countries has been
done in oats prior to the order which
prohibited shipping to England and now
that such an order has been Issued they
cannot be expected to increase Provi-
sions were easier, lard alone holding
up. The strength in lard was due prin-
clpally to buying by packers. who see
a need of lard in Europe when a butter
famine threatens some of its countries.

MARKET TONE IS NERVOUS

The market on the Cotton Exchange
was yesterday a good deal quieter.
small amount Of steady. scattered buy
ing sending prices higher. All in all
there was considerable evening up before
to-morrow's bureau report. many cover
ing or shortening commitments in fear
Of the unexpected. Although price move
ments were restricted to a narrow range.
the tone displayed was one of nervous
ness, and frequent dips or small bulges
were the order. Generally speaking.
market factors were not much changed.
bears still emphasized unsettlement pro-
vailing in labor circles here and abroad,
and also the continued improvement In
Southern weather. They commented
also on further weakness in foreign ex-
change
Bulls found the major part of theil
ammunition in the private crop reports
and the fact that the stronger tone in
securities was q reflection of better
ment somewhere in Industrial circles
Those private estimates ranged yester-
day from 52.i per cent. of normal, issued
by the Norman Mayer Company, to IS
Of A. Norden. There was also the report
Of the New Orleans Tintes-Ptcdyuns,
making It 5s.4, and one of the American
Cotton Association placing 1t at SAL.
Now that all private estimates have APP
: peared. to future trend OF prices will de-
pend in great part on the official census
bureau figures.
| In Liverpool there was much better
market, cables coming considerably BET.
ter than due, and that market showing
strength In later dealings. That i'm
proYement In overseas exchange. most
people believed, was due solely to more
/ favorable local Industrial conditions.
Spots there we're in only limited demand
at an advance OF 60 points. Only unim-
portant moisture was recorded yesterday
on the weather map, .01 at San Antonio
and .02 at Jacksonville.
4 First prices here were up IS to 81
points on the active list, business being
fairly animated on the call, but soon
turning very dull, remaining so except
for a few intermittent periods through
the session. The highest points Of the
day saw the general list 80 to 40 points
above the finals of Monday. while the
lowest In some cases was dangerously
near the previous closing levels. The
| South was again among the sellers.
| Brokers operating for Liverpool inter-
ests traded both ways. Local specula-
tive people did little except in an idle,
trading way. The late market was more
| Irregular and pressure was heavier as
the close, which was steady at net rise
| OF 10 to 25 points. with spots also some
what up, approached.
