GETTING A SQUARE DEAL

Salida Record
The tourist business is about over
INT another season is coming. Now
is the time to think of the next season.
If the state of Colorado continues to
permit Denver to grab all the funds
and build boulevards that merely con-
stitute circle trips around Denver it
will be because the commercial organ
izations of the state are fast asleep.
The state contributes the money to
build the roads around Denver. The
State Highway Commission grants
every request made by Denver. Coun-
ty commissioners from other counties
are told what they can have and they
are lucky if they get half of that.
The State Highway Commission
sits in session and parcels out the
funds among the other counties after
the Denver district has secured all it
wants.
But the next time they do the par
ceiling, if the county commissioners
of all the districts outside Of that dis
trict will go to that commission and
tell them what THEY WANT and
WHAT THEY PROPOSE TO GET
and If they will compel that commits
sion to make its apportionments in
January, while it is yet time to intro
duce legislation in the general assem-
bly,, they will get what is coming to
them.

COTTON UNABLE ID !. HOLD EARLY LEAD ANDMET ADECL|NE
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of AS to 65 Points Under
 Tuesday
By Asscelsr-o Press

New York, August 1S.-Rather a steady early session was followed by sharp break in the cotton market today. with October contracts selling off from 32.25c to 31.20c and closing at 31.S2c The general list closed steady at a net decline of AS to s5 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of IT to q points in response to relatively steady Sables and reports of further rains in eastern belt sec tions. The buying was not active, but offerings were comparatively light and active months sold about 27 to 32 points net higher before the end of the first hour, with December touching 32.35c and January 32.27c. There was con siderable realizing at this level and selling became a little more active after the publication of the weekly report of the weather bureau indicat- ing that the crop had made fair prog ress in most sections of the belt ex- cept for places where the rainfall had been excessive. Prices were fairly well sustained on reactions to about last nights closing figures during the early afternoon but later the market was unsettled by reports that the demand for naturalization of railroads was spreading in labor circles and that Germany, to support exchange rates, would not permit importers to pay for goods in less than a years time. De- cember broke to 31.35c and January tc 31 29c, or 65 to 73 points net lower and the close was only few points up from the lowest on covering.
 Private cables reported rather a more cheerful feeling in Liverpool over British labor conditions,

 New Orleans, August 13.-Heayy selling pressure appeared in cotton today, and the market fell under it, after making moderate net gains in the early trading. Once on the down trend, there were no recessions of consequence, and lowest prices were reached practically on the close under the report from Washington that Congress had been asked to include wearing apparel in the food law. Lowest prices showed net losses of 46 to 5S points and at the close was 45 to 56 points net lower.
 The opening was higher and the ad- vance continued on good Liverpool cables, and the rains in the eastern belt until the trading months were 26 to 34 points up. The weekly crop reports from the government at 10 o'clock were much more favorable than expected and were followed by fairly heavy selling, which put the market to a net decline. During the day selling increased on weakness in the foreign exchange, and finally on the report from Washington regarding wear ing apparel. A private bureau report on condition of 6s.4, pointing to a crop of II ,50o, 900 bales, was considered bearish and increased offerings to some extent.

New York, August 13.-Trading on the stock exchange today was extremely su- perfcial and again restricted to special ties, apart from further activity in equip ments oils and allied shares which have been the prominent features of recent ses- sions.

 Excepting Baldwin Locomotive, which materially augmented yesterdays sub stantial gain in the early hours on re- ports of favorable equalization, only to react abruptly later, and American Telephone, where a further decline of 5 points accompanied adverse dividend runors, there was little of an obvious character to furnish an incentive in either direction.
 Trading was most active and highly confusing in the final hour when stocks I If the same class moved contrarily, an ir- i egular to heavy tone prevailing at the lose.
 United States Steel and affiliated stocks and also the rails recorded minimum
 gains in the finals, the reaction among other leaders, including Crucible Steel and Baldwin Locomotive, ranging from 8 to points.

 In refined the meltings for the past week were even smaller than the pre- vious week amounting to only 46,o00 tons against 5, 900 tons a week ago. This no doubt is due to the small supplies, as the receipts during the past week were only $, ,147 tons, against 47,S4f last week, and until more normal supply of sugar is secured refiners will either have to cur tail their output or else close down en- frely. No new business is being booked, although there is good inquiry in the market, and prices remained on the fixed level of 9s for fine granulated.
