CRUCIAL TEST FOR BUSINESS
 STILL TO COME
(By United Pressl


 Chicago, Nov. 19.-Reduction of prices has increased competition to such an extent that only the strong est concerns will survive the read justment period through which the country is now passing, according to James c. Simpson, vice president of Marshall Field X Company, Chica- go's oldest and largest department store.
 MT. Simpson said that every busi- ness in the country is now stripped for action, and that re-adjustment will put every ounce of it's resources, abil- lty and efficiency to severe test.
 The price cutting period Mir. Simp- son attributed to effects of the immu- table law of supply and demand, the demand now being less than the SUD- ply and hence the radical drop in prices. MT. Simpson expressed the belief that it was the operation of this law which brought on the period He disbelieves that federal reserve bank control of credit had any appreciable influence in creating present condi- tions in the business world.

COTTON PRICES. CRUMBlE WITH
 OTHER VALUES

The descent of cotton was acceler ated today when values of that staple were caught in the landslide of crumb llng prices of stocks and all commo- dltles, the market showing shortly after midday declines of over 100 points in future contracts. A long, delayed reaction shortly before the close resulted in a recovery of about half the losses, the net declines being S2.5O to $4 a bale.
 December New York contracts, which closed yesterday at 17.05 cents, descended to 15.92 cents during to- days trading, but late in the day re- covered and closed at 1855 cents, a net loss of 50 points. January New York closed at 1593 cents, 53 points net lower. In New Orleans December lost 82 points, closing at 15.46 cents, while January declined 64 points, closing at 1925 cents.
 Spots in New York, which failed to decline yesterday, were marked down 95 points today, the quotation being 17.55 cents. In New Orleans spots were quoted 50 points lower, at 1850 cents.
 On the local market conditions were almost panicky as buyers virtually threw up their hands in despair and said they didn't know what cotton was worth. Prices for middling white cot ton ranged from 13 1-2 cents as the top early today down to 12 cents, the prevailing price this afternoon. One bale of last years cotton, stained and trashy, was sold at cents a pound and this was also the price paid for a bale of this years crop that had been gathered" instead of picked An other lowgrade bale was sold at ' cents.
 The price of cottonseed was un- changed today at $22 per ton Heavy declines in the price of cottonseed oil, however, were expected to send the price of seed to $20 or lower tomor- row.

Thousands Of Head Of Cattle Per
ish from Storm, Exposure and
Want Of reed-Modst Line Il Now
Completely Tied Up.

The following news dispatch is
taken from last nights Denver
Times:
Oak Creek, Colo, April 2s.-Near-
ly 5000 miners are out of employ
ment, industry is at standstill and
the loss in livestock is already esti-
mated at $5OO,OOO in this district, as
result of the blockade of the Moi
fat railroad.
Thousands of head of cattle have
died in northwestern Colorado and
the amount of loss from this source
is increasing daily. The cattle are
literally starving to death.
A late spring, combined with in
ability to ship feed, is resulting in
general loss, which only few
ranchmen are escaping.
The Moffat road has been tied up
since April and not a train has
passed over the divide in that time.
Since March only four passeng-
er and mail trains have made the
trip to this section, though a small
amount of first-class mail has ar
rived by stage from WolcOtt in
Eagle county.
An investigation made yesterday
by committee of the local Cham
ber of Commerce disclosed the fact
that there Is at present less than
two weeks supply in the stores and
warehouses Of the section. Unless
the Nnfiat road .train can get
through In that time there will be
great privation.
Wagon roads are impossible, be-
ing several feet deep in mud, so no
relief can be obtained by wagon
hauling from the other railroads.

INCREASE m AID. RATES
Is NOW IMPERATIVE
Country Papers Will Have to Eth
or Advance Price Of Space or
Quit Business.

I Beginning with May 1st
I The Chieftain advertising rat
+ es Will be advanced from
I the present rate of Is cents
per inch for display space to
I 20 cents per inch. Bills for
{ May and thereafter until
I further notice will be render
I ed on this basis.
Increased costs of paper and
/ labor make this advance i'm
I perative. When the present
publisher took over The
Chieftain in August 1918,
I print paper was costing So
I per hundred pounds or $50
I per ton. Now the same paper
+ cost TO b. Denver $3.50 per
hundred pounds or s27O per
ton. In August 1918 a limo
type operator cost $40 per
week. Now The Chieftain
is compelled to pay $45 for
I the same service. Inks and
I other materials have gone
up propOrtionally.
Since August 1918 The
Chieftain's advertising rates
were raised from 10 cents per
inch to Is cents. Any bust
man will readily see that the
advance of five cents more
per inch is more than justi-
fled. Moreover The Chief
tain rates right now are
lower than any other paper
in the valley The raise will
not necessitate an increase in
any advertisers apprOpria-
tion. He can shrink the size
of his space to meet the ad-
vance
This raise is a mathemati-
cal problem in that no
amount of argument will
change the situation. The
: publisher must pay for his
! paper stock and the printers
wages or quit business-he
is compelled to pass the cost
to the consumer the same as
does the merchant. The con-
. ditions are identical.
