The financing of the crop of 1919 is a

The fall in volume OF the American

ENDING NEAR BEST LEVEL

The market on the Cotton Exchange
d,splayqd yesterday a considerably i'm
proved tone, although movements again
were irregular. Attention OF the trade
and wall Street, which has recently
been diverted more or less from weather
conditions in the South, directed itself
once more to those conditions and care
fully examined the weekly report. On
the whole immediate belt conditions
seemed to favor the bear crowd, but
there was reported also a good deal OF
cloudiness and scattered precipitation IN
many sections. The weekly report indi-
Gated an improved situation and the
furry Of selling following Its issuance
may be traced easily to II.
Il was evident from the action Of
prices that the short element was un-
easy, and It did not take great buying
power to have considerable erect. At the
highest points of the day the market was
more than three-uuarter cent a pound
higher than the last previous final bids.
and the ending was yesterday not far
from these best levels. In Liverpool the
tendency was toward lower levels, the
market there weakening near the finish
although the range was not wide. There

the British centre, with prices heavy at

yesterday much below the opening level,
which was to 20 points off for the ac-
tive list. From then on. with the ex-
ception of short period following the
appearance of the weekly weather report,
the quality Of buying power was satisfac-
tory enough to hold values considerably
higher than Tuesdays ending.
II cannot be denied that there was still
much uncertainty present in speculative
circles regarding the future of values.
but sentiment, Influenced by the better
securities market and the lower rate for
money, was more bullish than for some
time past. Some of the best buying of

DYE COMMISSION

international Body Be
Formed.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-The impor-
lance of establishing an International
advisory commission on dyestvffs and
coal tar chemicals to act with the Inter-
allied Reparation Commission has been
urged upon Secretary Of Commerce Red
field by prominent chemical interests in
this country.
1t is pointed out that the textile in
dustry OF the United States should be
kept informed of the attitude of the
British and French and other allied
countries toward the disposition OF
German dyestuffs as Germany I'M
doubtedly has supplies OF large
number of dyes that industries in
America and other countries are desir-
Gus OF obtaining. Textile manufactur-
ers In this country are said to be
anxious that they be given the same
quantities of the German dyes as any
OF the other countries obtain.
Although reports have been in circu-
latlon that already dyes have been ex-
ported from Germany to other countries.
Information in the hands OF officials here
Is to the effect that there is no founda-
ton for these rumors.
1t was learned that Secretary Red
field suggested that Burwell s. Cutler,
formerly chief of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, be directed to
act unoTnclAlly IN tne matter, out freSl-
dent Wilson declined to adopt the sug-
gestion. The President replied, II is I'M
derstood, that his request for the APP
pointment Of representative of this
country on the Reparation Commission
had. been fatty refused by the Repub-
leans in the Senate.
"Inasmuch as the United States has
no representative on the Repsration

simply must wait"

One of the reasons why the
United States is disiiked and
suspected in foreign lands is be-
cause their newspapers show our
seafny side. What they print
from America consists largely of
lynchings, murders, defalca-
tions, municipal corruptions,
scandals in high life and SINH
lar stuff. This is taken, of cour-
Sc, from. the headlines of-our
own papers, but with us such
sensationalism does not do so
much harm, for the readers have
an internal corrective in the
knowledge of the wholesome nor
NAL life about them. But foreig-
ners do not have easy access to
information as to what Amer
leans are really doing and think
ing. We are conceited enough
to think that the more people
know of us the better they will
like US, so efforts are now being
made to disseminate knowledge
of America.
The Creel Bureau did a vast
amount of such publicity work
during the war, tho of course
nothing was said about it at the
time. 1t was found that the
most effective way to counteract
the German anti-American pro-
paganda was simply to tell the
truth about American educatio-
nal, religious industrial, agricul-

SPREADING AMERICANlISM

for. serious readers books are

Division of the American Asso-
citation for international Conci-
liation, acting for the Carnegie
Endowment for international
Peace, has selected 1895 Of the
best books from and about the
United States and shipped them
to the eading libraries of South
America. In this way Rio de
Janeiro in Brazil, Montevideo in
Uruguay, Asuncion in Paraguay,
Santiago in Chile and Lima in
Peru have a choice collection of
Peru have a choce collection Of
two or three thousand American
books. Similar libraries of
Americana are to be installed in
Paris, London, Rome, Zurich,
Peking and Tokyo.
We would suggest that the
new nationalities just starting
out in life, Poland, Yugo-Slavia,
Czecho-Slovakia, Armenia, Sy-
ria, might welcome American Ii
braries as a birthday gift from
one of their liberators. There
will be about a million volumes
left over from the libraries sup
piled to our soldiers and these
could not be put to better use
than to distribute them among
the schools and towns of the
Mid European nationalities.
