WATER USERS FORM
 ASSOCIATION ID GET
 FEDERAL FARM LOANS

For the purpose of obtaining aid from the federal government, the shareholders the Water Users asso- citation yesterday afternoon organized the Salt River Valley National Farm Loan association.
 The directors elected were: C. J. Rosseau, Phoenix; O.. H. Kunce, Chand- Ter; J.. W. Ray. Gilbert; Robert A. Ross, Glendale; John F. Orme, Phoenix. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, J. P. Orme; vice president. O. H. Kunce; secretary treasurer, F. C. Hem shaw.
 As soon as the organization was formed applications for loans were made by ten of the new members. The officers expect that more applications for membership in the new association will be received daily, and steps will be taken as soon as possible to obtain such loans as are required from the federal land bank in Berkeley, Calif.
 Before such help can be obtained the association must show that 1t has 200 stockholders with capital of $20o0.
 When the delegation from the Water Users association goes to Washington, D. C., to attend the Verde Dam con- ference, efforts will be made by the delegates to get the federal congress to pass some kind of measure which will make it possible for the members of the farm loan association to obtain funds under the government farm loan act. Water users being barred now, the law reading that farm loans can only be made on unimcumbered land, it being claimed by the federal author ities that the Salt River valley lands are already incumbered to the extent of the water rights. It was pointed out yesterday that all banks except federal banks are making loans on farm lands.

 Rumors of showers in the southwest, where the soil has been too dry for plant ing, stimulated the break which carried July contracts off to 37.S5c and December to g. 4oc, or about 70 to 55 points net lower on the active months. Liverpool was a buyer on the decline and houses with Japanese connections were credited with buying December, which with re- newa1 of scattered covering caused the closing rallies of some 10 tor 20 points.

WEEKLY DRY GOODS

New York. April 24-Cotton goods has grown quieter in consequence of the unsettled financial conditions and the continued irregularities of transporta- ton. There is a softening tendency in agents for sheeting mills are better dis posed toward submitting offers a little under the market to their mills
 The propaganda for wearing heavy colored cottons for suits as a protest against the high cost of other goods has led to stiffer market for overalls and the goods from which they are made. Stocks in first hands are so small and the production is so well be- spoken that little price change in fa- hrics is noted. Ginghams are also scarce, so that the larger demand for them at the counters has not moved prices uV for further advances in first hands.
 While many buyers are resisting the high prices. others are in actual need Of merchandise to fill orders or keep factories going and they are still put ting in mill orders. The consensus of mecantile opinion in the trade is that prices are not likely to go off much tn the immediate future unless financial pressure is continued.
