Farmers Ask Government
10 Lend Money ON Crops
Suggest L. 5. Borrow Funds and
Put Them Ou at | Per Cent
in Excess of Rata

WASHINGTON, Oct. ls-Declarino
ttat some one" must finance this
years crops, George p Hampton. man
ag Ag director of the Farmers National
Council, today wrote the Federal Re-
serve Board suggesting that, in event
the board definitely decides against
making an effort to get It's members TO

receipts, the government borrow money
ana deposit 1t in national banaks to
ne lent TO farmers at not more than l
per cent IN excess Of the rate the gov
ernment pays.
Farmers thus would be able. Mr.
Hampton said, 10 hold at least a part OF
their crops until they can get cost Of
production plus d Reasonable profit
or until there is an effective consump-
ton demand
Either the primary producer or those
VINO are seeking 70 get control Of farm

Cotton Goods Market
Seeks New Low Basis
Ssunp in Market for Raw Mate
rial Continues Disturbing
Influence

The cotton goods market is still
probing for bottom to The price de-
cline. 1t is not yet certain that the
low prices named on bleached goods
will stimulate the market sufficiently to
stabilize it, although the beached
goods selling agents report a good
stream of business following the dis
semination of the revised prices
throughout the trade.
1t IS expected that before long large
sellers Of other classes of goods will
announce new prices. Some Of the
smaller factors in the trade are simply
sitting tight awaiting stabiiZation of
prices before making new offerings. In
some lines it is reported that no mat
ter what price is named buyers are
unwilling u pay it. Even whcn the
seller asks the buyer to name a price
and then accedes to it the buyer often
backs out Of the bargain.
Gray or unfinished cotton goods con-
tinucd their downward trend yester-
day al the opening of nov week.

Knit Goods Merchandising
Virtually at Standstill

merchandising its surplus direct to
consumers. asserting that jobbers are
unwilling to buy and retailers have no
room for new stock, even though or
fered at lower prices prominent
hosiery concern recently cut prices 50
per cent and was deluged with suffi-
cient business to clear out old stocks
and make slight advance in prices on

In the main, however, merchandising
in the knit goods trade is almost at q
standstill. Jobbers are not yet ready
to operate for spring, and because of
the unsettled conditions in the yarn
trade manufacturers are unable to

Squirrel Skins at Local

reak of February; Fur.
ther Slump in London

auction sales of raw furs in New
YORK and London yesterday emnhp-
sized the dehation process as it is
working out in this particular indus
try. AT the local sale, conducted bv
lhe recently organized Shippers Fur
safes Corporation at the Hotel Penn
sylvanlas squirrel skins brought IN
average of rs to 80 cents apiece, fully
on per cent below the peak price of
feoruary, and from 80 to S5 per cent
below May prices. Mole, which also
was offered at the local sale, showed
large declines. Buyers were few and
enthusiasm which characterized the
,ut SAFES mere IN the last two or three
years was entirely lacking.
Unofficial reports from London gave
muskrat as being sold by the Hudson's
pay Company at a decline from Nav
prices OF 90 per cent. The Nav prices
were IS per cent below Februarv
prices and it is said that muskrat
values IN London never reached the
hlgh peak existing in this country.
fur trader yesterday asserted that
IN the open market here muskrat skins

1T Is not yet clear that the prices

taoHsh new open market prices that
the manufacturing furriers and Other
users CT skins will be expected to nav

Whlch were unsuccessful, raw skin
dealers refused to recognize the nrices
set in the auctions, asserting that the
lack OF bidding compelled owners to
puy IN their own merchandise and that
prices We're lower than ordinarily
would be the case because of the de-
sire to keep down commissions.
AT present open market quotations
vary greatly, some dealers, because of
their weak financial positions, being
compelled to sacrifice holdings for
ready cash. Those in stronger inan-
clal situation have been holding their
turs at higher levels, but the competi-
t!ons Of the sales. if it becomes suti-
clcntiy strong, will force open-marlet
prices lower in the opinion of strong
and conservative dealers.

Bankers Charge Politics
In " ilgiums's s attach;

Leading bankers and officials Of the
Stock Exchange Yesterday character
zed the latest attack on Wall Street
money rates by Comptroller of the
Currency Williams as political in mo-
tive ana lacking in accurate know
ledge Of present-day financial condi-
.ons. None, however, was willing to
be quoted.
Are we to understands" said the
head OF q leading banking institution,
that Comptroller Williams has under
taken to incite further bomb eX
plOsions in Wall Street? Is he really
80 ignorant as to be unware that the
rate on brokers stock loans are de-
ermned not through what he terms
a 'coterie located in New York City,
cut upon the general discount rates
prevailing under the Federal Reserve
system of the board, Of which he is
member? The Federal Reserve
BANK Of New York for several months
AaS established discount ra-a run
hine up to 7 per cent. In the judg-
ment Of New York bankers generally,
'ne action Of the bank in establishing
sn1se high rates. and in Ems nttcmut-
ing 70 discourage speculation in COM
moeiNes, has been wise. 1t has, /
uunoerstand, been followed By the
O'ner regional Federal Reserve banks.
Ooes MIR Williams believe that the
is'es on brokers stock loans, Of which
Nv complains, be made the same as
,a'es upon rediscountable mercantile
yrpsr wipm 1t would appear from Mr..
mmllamss statement that with only q
.t"en amount of credit facilities, fur
s.s ~ss credlt and lower rates should be
.si.aHseo to Stock Exchange brokers,
se e,oe.rollary of which would be fewer
S".''es and higher rates for mer-
arss srt and manufacturers.
s,a4 4ne worst part of Mr.. Williams
ssa,. a OF his periodical statements
tsainss New York hanks is that he
sSss. Ss"s nothing of what he is talking
NJ he proceeds on theories of the
ANA market, which are utterly false
tsn.e t 10 never makes the slightest at

Pressure on Shoe Makers
For Further Reductions

Pressure toward further price re-
ductions bv manufacturers Of shoes is
resulting from the recent declines
made in the upper leather market. II
was rumored Yesterday that two Of
the largest producers Of lowpriced
shoes in the past had reduced prices
on some staple lines so cents d pair
within the last few days and thas
similar action lad been taken by Mil
waukoe manufacturers.
OF the two Eastern concerns in ques-
ton one reported that a price re-
vision had been made, but declined to
state the amount. while the other as
serted that the last reduction was
made about three weeks ago, and that
il applied to a job lot of footwear.

Vigorous Trading; Indus
trials Generally Steady

Vigorous trading marked most of
yesterdays session of the curb market
and several of the speculative stocks
registered strong advances. General
Asphalt and several oil issues were
among the features. Asphalt was in
good demand for time and moved up
from an opening of 551a to 59a4 before
profit taking caused reaction, the net
advance being only about point
Most Of the industria were steady,
but not so active as the oils, this group
being more in demand than for several
Gays. White Oil moved up to 25 on a
large turnover, recovery of several
points from the recent low and within
a few points of the level at which it
sold before the midsummer slump.
Carib Syndicate was another active
feature, moving up again to 17A, the
high of the recent movement, before
reacting fractionally. This stock has
attracted large following recently on
Improvement rumors.

Lateral Exploration
 On Van Dyke Copper

The Van Dyke Copper Company, who have been sinking their initial shaft during the past year, have dis continued shaft sinking and are now preparing for lateral exploration.
 The shaft was started in the sum- mer of 1919 for the purpose of ex- ploring and developing the ore body first discovered in 1917 by drilling op- erations, and also for the purpose of exploring the ground below the ore body.
 This ore body encountered in drill ing operations averaged better than per cent copper and was encounter ed at a depth of 1,170 feet and was 40 feet thick.
 Ore was encountered in the shaft at a depth of 1,180 feet and the shaft passed through 40 feet of ore similar in character to that encountered in the drill hole 200 feet distant.
 The shaft was sunk to a depth of 1892 feet as it was felt that it was good policy to do most of the shaft sinking while the organization was arranged for sinking purposes.
 The company feels that the shaft is now deep enough to allow the starting of lateral exploration and consequent ly have started cutting stations. One station is being cut in the ore body at 1,215 feet and one is being cut at 1850.
 Drifting will be started on both levels to prospect and block out the ore on the 1900 level and to explore the mineralized zone that lies at the 1850 horizon.

BENDING OUT GOLD
 WITH FIFTY STAMPS

With fifty stamps dropping at its l000-ton plant, the Goldfield Devel- bpment has definitely taken its place among the premier gold-yielding com panies of Nevada. Additional units of the mill will be engaged as rapidly hs practicable until the plant is oper- ating at its rated capacity of 2OOO tons daily. Ore is going to the stamps from the Combination, Red Top and Mohawk mines, and the Crackerjack and Development leases on the Florence group. That the ore is of excellent, character is indicated by the fact that in one day seventeen cars of ore, valued at 5000 a car, went to the plant.
 The Houlahan-G -Greenwald lease has uncovered on the sixth level of the Combination what seems to be the extension of the Combination vein, for which an unsuccessful search was conducted for many years by the Combination fraction. From a mar row shoot the ledge has steadily broadened until it now shows width of nine to twelve feet sampling bet ter than $20 per ton. The Combina- tion vein produced $14,000,000 in the Combination before it split and pass ed into the Florence and Mohawk properties.
 Goldfield Deep Mines Company has decided to abandon sinking of a shaft on the Blue Bull section and instead will repair and enlarge to four com partments the 600-foot shaft on the southeast end of the Goldfield Com bination claim. The powerful Gold field Merger hoist will then be in stalled and the shaft rushed to a depth of 5000 feet in the alaskite. By it's changed plans the management will save much time and money to the company and expects to reach the Consolidated vein in the alaskite at a more favorable point.
 Belief that rich ore will be found in the alaskite is strengthened by the finding of wide face of ore samp- ling $S per ton in the Spearhead mine. The discovery was made in the underlying alaskite below the barren shale.
 Rich gold discoveries have been reported in the past week from the Lone Star and Red Hills-F1orence mines. At depth of sixty feet in the Lone Star, controlled by New Workers, a lease has opened a new vein including a nine-inch shoot samp- ling $315 per ton.

C. H. MAYER HEADS
 WESTERN FEDERATION

The recent election held for off cials of the I. U. M. s. w., formerly the Western Federation of Miners, in dicate that Chas. E Mover has again been elected as president of the or ganization Election returns from "A locals, with IF locals unreported, show Mover receiving 5,818 votes, and his opponent for the presidency, Jas. Shell of the Butte Engineers union, receiving 2,352 votes. It is thought that with the complete returns at hand, the general result will be un- changed. Edward Crough was unop- posed for the vice-presidency and Err nest Mills had no opponent in his race for reelection as secretary-treasurer.
 The incomplete returns show Alfred Bordsen, Wm. Davidson, Jno. Turney and Michael J. Burns leading by such large majorities over the other candi- dates for membership of the executive board that their election is apparently assured. H. S. McClaskey and Jno. H. Hendricks complete the list of six candidates for executive board mem bership. Four vacancies on the board are to be filled.
 The returns on the election by locals show the older unions up to No. 125, all of which are located in the western mining states, voting sol idly against the candidacy of Mover and in favor of Shell. The younger unions of shelter and refinery em- ployes located on the eastern sea- board states and in the middle west ern states, however, delivered a suf- ficient vote for Mover to apparently insure his election.
 The reelection of Chas. H. Mover as president of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers is a bitter bill for the older generation of far western miners to swallow, as may be gleaned from their almost unanimous vote against him. Under the leadership of Moy- CT, the membership has declined in the
