ever quoted in the New Orleans cot
ton market today when October went

movement. October was the strong
est month and rose $3.50 a bale.
Previous high records were made
on July % of this year when March

Paving Assessments.

Mayor Mars stated at the meeting
of council Monday night that many
people were uninformed with regard
to the time of the paying Of street
paving assessments and also as to the
manner in which same must be paid.
He said that he city must be inform
ed of the intention of each property
owner against whom there were as
sessments before November 6. The
property owner must also before that
date declare the manner in which he
preferred to pay the assessments,
whether in one installment or in ten
equal payments. Once the method of
payment is chosen it cannot be
changed as the paving certificates will
have been sold.

COTTON ESTIMATE TO BE

Washington, Oct. 22.-The new
cotton crop report will be issued ocl-
ober 81 by the Department of Agri-
culture, Assistant Secretary Harrison
today informed Representative
Byrnes, South Carolina, author of the
recent legislation enacted by Con-
gress calling for another crop esti-
mate for the current year.
Under the legislation the Depart
ment was directed to issue the report
not later than Sunday, November 1.
Because November 1 is holiday on
the New Orleans exchange several
southern members had asked the de-
partment not to issue the report on
that date. Instructions for compiling
the new crop report were sent crop
reporters in the south today, Mr..
Byrnes was informed.

NAVY DEPARTMENT
MAY SELL SUGAR

Washington, Oct. 22.-Advised
that the navy department has in re-
serve 100000 pounds of sugar, Sec
retary Daniels today intimated that
he would release one-third of the
stock, or 100000 pounds, for pub
lie use to relieve the situation re-
sulting from a nationwide shortage
of the commodity. 80:
The present supply of the navy,
Secretary Daniels said, suffici-
ent for six months. AS only a three
months surplus usually is kept on
hand, Mr.. Daniels indicated it would
be unjust to retain more than that
amount now when the entire country
is experiencing a shortage.
The war department, however, un-
like the navy, found today that its
supply was running low, the supply
being estimated at barely sufficient
TO last until December Is, Quarter
master General Rogers, accordingly
wired all zone supply officers that
sales of sugar to any one person in
the service must be limited to not
more than six pounds per month and
not more than "a pounds per month
for each family.
Secretary Daniels also said he has
sent a message to all ships and sta
tion of the navy calling for strict
economy in the use Of sugar as
wastefulness by the navy even of its
abundant supply would mot only be
objectionable but would reflect dis.
credit upon the navy ITSELF"

LABOR DELEGATES
QUIT CONFERENCE
Capital and Public Remain in Session.
Collective Bargaining Resolution
Proves Final Stumbling Block
Lane Will Make Personal Re-
port to Wilson.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Labor with
drew from the national industrial
conference tonight after it's final eff
fort to obtain adoption of a collective
bargaining resolution had been de-
feated by the vote Of majority Of
the capital group.
Although the representatives Of
both the public and capital announced
their intention of remaining in the
conference the next move in the eff
fort to restore Industrial peace to the
country evidently rested with Presi-
dent Wilson.
Mr.. Lane will make personal re-
port Of the situation to the president,
but neither leaders in the conference
nor officials generally would venture
la predictions as to what course Mr..
Wilson would take. Meantime the
conference will be called together to-
morrow as usual. .r
Withdrawal Of the labor group was
announced by Samuel Gompers, pres
ident Of the American Federation Of
Labor, after dramatic speech. It
came only few hours after Secre-
tary Lane, in an effort to prevent
what many from almost the first had
regarded as the inevitable, had read
a letter in which President Wilson,
debating from his sick bed, appealed
for harmony in the conference and
for the final working out of pro-
gran, Of industrial peace.
Representatives Of labor did not
join in the applause which greeted
the letter and Mr.. Gompers charac-
|terized as "most unfortunate" mo-
ton by John Spargo of the public
group that each group pledge the
president it would .nalt' every effort
to accomplish the work for which he
conference was called. The motion
was withdrawn and the conference
recessed so the labor group could
meet to determine its future course.
When the conference convened in
the afternoon the labor group pro-
posed resolution recognizing the
right of collective bargaining.
