SHE WANTED FREE
SEEDS, BUT ONLY
FOR PRIVATE USE

A TLANTA, Aug. 25-There's
Aa fine bit of story out today
On a well known Georgia congress
man. now a candidate for re-elec-
ton, who has an agricultural bent
of his own and who dearly loves to
send free seed to his constituents.
A woman wrote him, when the
free seed distribution was at its
height, asking for some garden
seed. He sent back by return maIl
a generous supply of what she
asked for, mailed in the regular
official envelope. In couple OF
weeks the seeds went back to the
congressman. The woman had read
the card on the corner of the en-
velope which says, $4,000 fine for
private use." She wrote the follow
ing note to the congressman:
~ am much obliged for the
seeds but wanted them for pri-
vate use, and could not possibly
afford to run the risk of having TO
pay a $500 fine.

COTTON MARKET
 IN DEMORALIzED
 CONDITION ALL DAY
Closed at Bottom, Which Was Forty-five to Eighty Points Under the Prev
 iOus Night
By Associated Presa

New York, July Sl.-The cotton market was in a more or less demoralized con- dition throughout the entire session to- day and closed at the bottom, which was 45 to so points under the previous night. Chiefly responsible for the pronounced weakness were continued favorable crop and weather reports from nearly all parts of the belt and a gloomy outlook in textile circles that has had an ex- tremely bearish effect upon sentiment
 Only small sales were reported at Fall River, which curtaiment was heavy, and it was reported that Augusta Ga, mills were also closing down for lack of or ders. Conspicuous selling by western houses was attributed to the big drop in wheat prices, and Wall Street sold again on the generally favorable stua- tion in the financial situation and in dustrial lines.
 Supporting orders we're mostly con fined to shorts and little buying for uptown account, which, however was readily supplied The south was seller on very favorable crop accounts from the Atlantics. Whatever the government report may be on Monday, it was gen. orally agreed that the crop has made considerable progress under favoring weather conditions since it was compiled on July 25.
 Going through g cents, the figure at which good trade buying has heretofore developed, October met stop loss selling and eventually dropped to 3127c, with December to BOG and January 29.1Sc, at which levels the market closed

WEEKLY DRY GOODS
By Associated Press

New York, July 3l-Buying has been very light in the cotton goods markets. Print cloths, sheetings and other unfin- ished cloths have weakened in price. with trivial sales intervening. Buyers of wash abrics have laid down less than a third of their normal business for spring and many large buyers have left the markets without commitments of any kind. The large gingham mills that have opened spring lines and guaranteed prices till December l have not found it easy to induce all buyers to lay down orders. The smaller concerns have ordered as well or better than last season, while many of the larger factors are hold ing off
 Curtailment of production in manufac- turing centers is increasing each week, mills not being disposed to accumulate stocks at high costs until they can see the trend of future values.
 The jobbers are busy shipping goods on old orders, but are not doing much new business. ConVerters are holding out of the markets until there is more ac- tivity in their finished cloths.
 The finishing plants are dull and cur- tailment among them is increasing. Yarn markets have been very quiet ana prices are declining steadily. The knit goods trade is very quiet, agents being unable to make price that will interest buyers of spring goods. Export demand is very light.
 Current cloth prices are as follows:
 Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64,cs4s, 14c; 64xG0s, 1312c: 3Sh-inch, 6fX64s 1Sc; brown sheet ings, southern standards, 25c and 25c; denims, S220: indigo, 44c tickings, B. ouncs 55c; prints, 2Sc; dress ginghams, 35c and 3714c; staple ginghams. 2719c.

New York, July 31.-Developments during the past week in the iron and steel industry have been far from sat- isfactory. The transportation tie-up has resulted in a general slowing up of production at the mills in the Pitts burg and Chicago districts. Fuel short age has been acute in certain sections because of the drive for extra heavy loadings of coal for the Great Lakes.
 From market point of view the chief feature of the week has been the falling off in demand from automobile and motor truck makers. There has been more buying from the railroads
 Car repair work has resulted in a de- mand which has brought scrap prices to higher levels in the local district.
 Tin plate, Pittsburg, is now quoted at S9 per box of 100 pounds. Tin plate mills in the Pittsburg district have been forced to close on account of the un- satisfactory situation. Structural ma terial is more active. but in the new ordering there is less inquiry for steel for industrial enterprises.
 Railroads are making inquiry for bridge work.
 Pig iron prices are tending higher lon account of short supplies for spot shipment. It is now certain that con siderable tonnage contracted for 1920 delivery will have to be moved over to next year. No. 20 Philadelphia iron is quoted at s49.15 per ton; No 9 fur mace, Chicago, has moved up to SAG while malleable. Chicago. has increased to s4650
 There is little export business re- ported.
 Copper is dull, but the price is steady at 19 cents per pound. Scarcity of lead has resulted in dull conditions here Trading is restricted and second hands report their inability to locate any large stocks for nearby positions.
 Zine is developing an easier ten- dency on the absence of export inquiry The price here is now far above the level obtaining overseas and this is given as the reason for the lack og ex- port inquiry.
 Tin has been quiet, with a slightly easier tone noted during the latter part of the week.
 Anthony is in steady demand at un- changed prices.
