ONE WAY TO
GET BUSINESS
GOING AFTER 1T Is NOT THE
LEAST REMUNERATIVE WAY
AFTER ALL.

A company for the development
of foreign trade activities and the
exploitation of the Mississippi Valley
resources, at the same time owning
ships and endowed with a capital of
$50,000,00O, is suggested by the st.
Louis Chamber of Commerce. It is
thought that the Chamber of Com
merce will favor an organization
fashioned after a plan which has
been submitted by its Foreign
Trade Bureau.
Plans of New Company.
The new trading company as out
lined by the Foreign Trade Bureau
of the chamber shall be known as the
"St. Louis Trading and Navigation
Company and shall have the Wig
orous support of the Chamber of
Commerce. The stock of the pro-
posed company is to be divided into
$25,000,000 preferred and $25,000,-
900 common stock.
The chamber proposes that the
trading firm take full advantages of
the Webb-Pomerene law which per-
,;+es oo,,o hivo+,aoc oF oox,o,,o.,;oc, 49,
gagged in overseas commerce. Con-
sent to take in foreign capital is to
be obtained in Washington and 40 per
cent of the capital is to be placed
with foreign kindred interests in any
country whose connection with them
may be advantageous"
$25O,OOO to Be Raised at Once.
1t is proposed that financial and
commercial relations with Pacific
Coast and eastern interests be
and that $250,000 be
raised Immediately for preliminary
expenses. All subscriptions shall be
taken with the proviso that at least
one-half of the amount be bona-fide
by solvent parties be-
fore any portion of the subscription
becomes due.
The directorate of the proposed
is to consist of fifteen
men, each leader in
his particular line, and shall include
at least three bankers The company
is to operate its own steamships
which are to be leased or purchased
outright in order that the firm may
be able to compete with corporations
similarly equipped. Government
will be expected to facili-
tate the requisition of ships by the
company.
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1919-03-14
Company to Build Ships.

The trading company if formed
will be Incorporated to handle ship
ping, to build vessels and vehicles of
traffic of all kinds, to construct and
maintain works of internal improve
ment or public utility, to promote or
direct international financial opera
tons and to facilitate better COM
mercial intercourse between the
United States and foreign countries,
to acquire grants from the Federal
and State government for the ex-
ploitation of the natural resources of
the Mississippi Valley and for the
development of any public utility. 1t
will strive to promote and engage ii
such industries as will develop the
interests of the company, such as the
iron, steel, coal and petroleum in
dustry.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-Apprehen-
sions that the movement against high
cost Of living might unsettle the goods
market, and continued nervousness
over labor conditions, seemed to be
partly responsible for further selling
at the openings Of the cotton market
today. First prices were "a to IS points
lower, but, Liverpool was relatively
steady, and there was a good deal Of
trade buying here on the basis of sic
for October. This, with the unexpect-
eddy favorable showing of the report
on domestic mill consumption for July,
steadied the market after the call and
led to rallieseof 80 to 40 points.
The rally from the first sharp break
met heavy general selling and stop or
ders were uncovered in the first hour,
with october selling down to 80. soc and
January to 30.92c, or AZ to 81 points
net lower. There was enough buying
to check the decline at this level and
prices showed rallies OF 80 to 40 points
around midday.
Weakness ,in the foreign exchange
market was responsible for renewed
selling and toward noon prices were
IS to "A points under yesterdays fin
ais.
Futures closed barely steady at de-
cline Of rs to IS points.
