To the Farmers--

1t has been circulated throughout 1.-THE county
that we are paying only fifty cents per gallon for
sorghum This is mistake as we are paying sew
enty cents and eighty cents for fancy No. sor-
ghum. This does not affect contractors as their
prices remain the same. We desire to secure all
the sorghum we can possibly get and will take all
of the sorghum that comes to Louisa.
Broom corn has become mixed with cane to
such an extent that number of the farmers are
not getting production out of their crops. Please
act now, find farmer who has strictly No. seed
and procure them and put them away for next
year as we will be buying sorghum next year the
same as we are buying this year. Remember that
the proper seed is half the effort in securing am
pie production.

New Orleans, September 2O.-Hurri- cane warnings were the one big in fiuence in cotton today and they put prices up for wide gains On tue opening the market was lower and the decline persisted until it amounted to 2S to B points but before the session was very old these losses were re- gained and replaced by a net advance. which thereafter was constantly wii- ened until in the late trading it amounted to 56 to S4 points. October first fell off to 26.53c and then rose to 2l.6lc, closing at 27.5Sc.

A survey by the depart ment of labor showing 8 decrease in the number of employees of the countrys leading industries for August, may have accounted for the backwardness of steels, equipments and kindred stocks.

GRAIN WEAKENED
 IN THE CHICAGO PIT
 WITH PROVISIONS OFF
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 20.-All grain and provisions weakened in price today as a result of big receipts of corn and owing to unlkelihood of frost. Wheat closed steady a the same as Saturdays finish to half cent lower, with December s2.39s, to $40 and March s2.34F. Corn closed unchanged to 1}s cents down. Oats were off ss to l cent and provisions at a setback varying from 21s to 9 cents A good deal of selling pressure on wheat was evident during the first half of the day, but after a moderate down turn in values fair support developed, and the market rallied, sympathy with the depression of corn appeared to be the only well defined reason for the temporary drop in wheat prices. On the other hand, active milling demand was bullsh influence later, which more than offset a notable increase of the total visible supply. Houses with sea- board connections were also said to have been good buyers of futures after the early downturn in the market
 Corn dropped to the lowest prices yet for deferred deliveries. Reactions were ascribed to profit-taking by shorts,
 Opinion was general that for con- siderable period there would be no cold weather. Oats were governed by the action of corn.

have splendid merchant marine upon the Great Lakes. Vessels under Amer lcan registry now navigating the Great Lakes principally for freight traffic, have in the aggregate a little over three million gross tons. And that is million and half more than were operated in Great Lakes navigation oy American vessels in 1901.
 Some who have been giving careful study to the artificial waterways of the United States are wondering whether they are after all to be suffi- ciently employed to justify the great investment of capital which the build ing of them has entailed. One of the au thorities states that ten years ago eleven million bushels of grain were carried through the canal and Hudson river to the port of New York. No fig ures of this kind have recently been reported. In fact, the latest record made two years ago, shows that only six hundred and seventeen thousand bushels of grain were transported oy the canal from Lake Erie to New York city.
 On the other hand, nearly two hun ured million bushels of wheat were carried in that year by rail from the west and Buffalo to the port of New York. But with the construction of the impoved Erie canal and with ade ouate equipment which is sure to come together with excellent facilities fo> moving the freight upon canal barges with reasonable rapidity, undoubtedly the movement of grain and other slow freight by artificial waterways and by the Hudson river will be rapidly increased
 A recent report states that in the United States there are many IS twenty-six thousand miles of naviga- n .tro Txry~ thraaA 1f hnY are listed among the greatest inland navigable waters to be found any where in the world. In many cases these rivers are the terminals of ca nals, although some of the canals have been abandoned. The remarkable progress that has been made in the utilization of the Mississippi river for the movement of freight has called at tenton to the fact that if the proper kind of equipment is used and if the transportation of slow moving freight Is principally sought, then instead Of eeting with harmful competition by the railroads. water navigation upon our inland streams and canals may be found to supplement our railroad transportation. In fact, some of the railroad managers now say that trans portation of freight in the United States which will reflect the vast in crease in our industries and especially the capture of foreign markets will make it necessary to utilize all the railroad facilities present and improyei that can be secured and also motor trucks suppemented by the heavy navi- gation of our navigable waterways, both natural and artificial. It may be that the development of the motorboat will indirectly, at least, aid In trans portation improvement and the demon stration which was made at Detroit on Wednesday of last week of the abil- itv of a gas-driyen boat to make mile at the rate of seventy seven miles an hour shows how great the improve ment has been in the construction of these newly developed boats for very rapid water naVigators.

Sugar Market

New York, September 20.-There was ro change in raw sugar prices today. but there was a little better inquiry noted and more business was re- ported than in some days past. The business included 15,00o bags of Cuba s for immediate shipment, 5000 bags for prompt and 1900 afloat at 9%c, cost and freight; 1,400 bags of Perus afloat at 9hc, eff. and 500 bags of various kinds of molasses sugar in port at e.50c, eff. ss test, and 4.75c, eff, S2 test.
 The close was steady at sXc for Cuba's, cost and freight, equal to 10.7sc for centrifugal.
 There was no improvement noted in the demand for refined and prices were unchanged at 14.50G15c for fine granulated In the second hand quar- ter there was said to be a fair busi- ness going on at prices ranging from 14c to 1450c for fine granulated.
 The market for sugar futures was easier, except September, which was unchanged. Business was moderately active and closing prices generally 15 to 20 points lower under scattered liquidation.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York September 20.-(Special) No considerable number of passengers could be secured for hydroplane ex- cursion or on regular trips if a speed Of seVentysiX miles and half an hour were gained and maintained. That is the record made a few days ago by Miss America" in the Detroit water speed carnival Another boat forged through the water at the rate of tNty- eight miles an hour. Nevertheless, the probability is strong that within short time a large number of motor boats or so-called gas vessels, will be plying upon American waters offer ing passenger service. They will not be available for freight, although many of them will be employed, as already some are, in towing barges through canals and navigable rivers.
 Only five years ago the number of vessels of this kind was so small that the comm issioner of navigation paid no heed to them. His annual report referred only to sailing and steam driven vessels Now the commission CTS attention is called to the fact that somewhat in excess of ten thousand of these motorboats are in use and the rumber is probably to be greatly in- creased.
 The congestion upon the railroads of the United States served to call at- tention to the practicability of putting to full use the navigable waters of the United States. It was, however, not railroad em mbargoes or strikes or other difficulties which inspired the agita- tion now well advanced which ulti- mately is to lead to the establishment of a true, deep water system stretch ing from the Great Lakes to the At lantic and utilizing the St. Lawrence river. For when this system is com pieted, ocean going steamers may take clearance papers at Chicago with Flu rope or even the far east as the des- tination. Public sentiment favors 1T, and it will represent community of transportation interests between the United States and Canada.
 BEATS THE SUEZ CANAL
 The construction of the Canal at Salt Ste Marie whereby the waters of Lake Superior and Lake Huron are so joined as to make it possible to navigate very large vessels from Du- luth to Toledo. or Gary and other large ports. has been followed by ali enormous waterway traffic In the year 1919, the record shows that near ly seventy million tons of freight were carried through the so-called 800" canal, although this yas not as large as was the record made in 1915. In that year vessels navigating the Great Lakes transported through this canal over ninety millions of tons of freight almost all of it to be discharged at ports upon Lake Erie It was for the most part iron ore that made up this enormous water freight traffic. This tonnage exceeds that which passes through the Suez Canal, although the money returns upon it were not as large as the tolls received from the vessels which utilized the Suez canal. WHERE THE MERCHANT
 MARINE IS STRONG
 There is encourgment in plenty that the American merchant marine which grew from almost nothing to its present commanding position since the European war began will be main tained But whether it is or not, we
