Coal mining as usual has it's flock

The promise now. and it is almost
filled, is for three billions bushels OF

for a cotton yield of about twelve
and a half million bales.
Cotton, however, is not a safe

oats than last year. and more tobacco
which is good everywhere, more po-
tatoes and more rice about the largest
crop on record. Also there will be
more sugar, both cane and beet and
especially a hay crop of such pro-
portions as should have a marked
effect in reducing the cost of live
stock, and of dairy and poultry pro-
ducts.

sums of money were turned into the
state treasury and two state officers
resigned. The committee was widely
complimented on its work and the
people of the state were generally
profuse in their expressions of COM
mendation.
Because Of the rush Of business
during the legislative session and
the lack Of time. the committee on
departmental affairs was unable to
complete the work in a manner sat-
isfgactory to the members Of the
committee themselves. They filed a
report in the senate recommending
that the committee on retrenchment
and reform continue the inquiries.
but this recommendation, made in
the closing hours of the session, was
not acted upon by the legislature.

PRICE TREND DOWNWARD.
Tendency to Lower Levels Seen BY

Washington, Aug. 81 Business
| and industrial conditions during the
remainder Of the calender year will
be marked by definite trend to
a somewhat lower level Of prices"
according to a semi annual report

out by the United States chamber of

prepared the report added that the

country TO become panicky over any
Of these matters.
Amid all the cross currents and
eddies Of the industrial situation, a
definite trend seems to be slowly
developing towards a gradually in

New England is slowing down. Con-
trariwise, paper mills are busy and

Whether mining is busy ano

SECOND LARGEST SHIPPERS.
United States seagoing Tonnage
Shows increase of 500 Per Cent.

United States Seagoing Tonnage
Shows increase of 500 Per Cent.
By Associated Press.
London. Aug. 13.-According to
Lloyds Register of Shipping for
ie20-21 Just issued. the seagoing
tonnage OF the United States apart
from Great Lakes shipping, has In
creased since 1914 by over 500 per
cent and now stands at 12,406, 900
tons. Thus the United States comes
second only to the United Kingdom
which has 1S,111.0 900 tons.
Japan, which in 1914 took sixth
place, is now third. with 2.s96, 900
tons. closely followed by France;
with 2,s6S,0o0 tons.
Iacluding sailing ships, but ex-
cluding tonnage on the Great Lakes,
the United States now owns "a per
cent OF the worlds tonnage, as
against Al per cent six years ago,
the Register states.
The figures shown for the former
ly belligerent countries include a
considerable amount Of enemy ton
mage Professionally allotted to those
countries. Germany, which in 1914 oc-
cupied, after the United Kingdom,
tho first position with over 5000, 900
tons Of shipping, now only owns
10000 tons.
The steam tonnage owned by tho
principal maritime countries in June,
1920. totalled 53,905.OO0. an increase
of S.501.00 tons as compared with
June 1914; but tits computed that
the worlds net loss in shippfng/thru
the war;, taking into account the
suspension in normal shipbuiLding
activities, amounts to 3,516,009 tons.
There is a reduction in sailing tom
mage since pre-war days of $4,000
tons, much smaller decrease than
in any previous six year period and
doubtless accounted for, says the
Register, by the shortage Of other
tonnage having given new life to the
construction Of sailing vessels. The
United States, the only country
which has increased sailing tonnage
since 1914, now owns over 43 per
cent of the worlds sailing tonnage.

ton Of their stockyard interests, re-
quired under the decree recently en-
tered with the department of JUS

The project was filed today with

of the stock to be disposed Of at be-
tween s30,000,oo0 and 100000.
In an accompanying affidavit

the plan is approved by the court, OF
organizing a holding company to take
