plight. even tho their rates have been
increased greatly. The trouble was
their revenue did not keep pace with
their expenses And municipality y-own-

III SINESS TENPaR ARiLN
STALLED BIT CAN'T STAA so.

The writer WAS talking recently
with ono of The South's foremost stu
dents Of economic problems.
Our manufactures. we remarked to
him. report hiatt they have cut prices
and cut prices hut say thai seemingly
+ they have not yet cut prices enough
Ia make people buy. The real trougle.
we added. is that the cuts made by
manufactures have not reached the
consuming and buying public, The
retail merchant has lot of goods on
hand bought at old prices. and he Is
of present wholesase values.
Yes" answered our economic friend
And de you see where all that leads
to? Take cotton, for example, The
manufacturer has cut prices of his
goods. hut the retail merchant hasn't.
Consequently. people havoc held off
huying. But with winner coming on.
and their old clothes wearing out. the
folks will soon be compelled to buy.
Then they will likely have to buy in
more than ordinary quantities. This
WI enable the manufactures to boost
prices again. and then the retailer
will have an excuse for holding his
prices up-and the only man who will
lose out will he the farmer the man
who has tried to sell his RAW material
ON dead market.
There is good deal of danger that
things may work ont just about this
way. business is temporarily stalled,
hut Il can't stay stalled. The vast
ma aiority of the people of America are
still employed. and employed at rather
high wages and salaries. Consequently,
they are going 10 buy plenty of food
and plenty of clothing. especially cot
ton clothing In fact. the tendency to
economize may hcpl The demand for
cotton goods by lcssening calls for
silk shirts and silk hosiery.
II is true that the market right now
is stalled, deadlocked. But II can't
say stalled. And the world must pay
enough for cotton to insure getting an
adequate acreage planted next spring.
Doesn't that mean thai il must offer
around 80 cents Il pound before next
Auril? II looks that way to us.-Thc

HOUSE
HEARD M'RAE
Delivered Address to the Citi-
zens of Prescott at Pres
byterian Church.

Every church in Prescott did honor
to Hon 7. c. McRae last Sunday night
by dismissing their congregations in
order that they might go TO the Pres
byterian church to hear this distin-
guished statesman deliver Il speech on
christian Religion and the Relation
of Church and State.
Mr. McRae left no doubt in the minds
of his hearers as to his firm belief in
the christian religion and of its Won
derful influence upon the minds and
lives of the people who embrace ii.
He proved this by comparing the coun-
tries that have other religions with our
great christian country. Other cOun-
tries are as smart intellectually as we
are. but they refuse to take as their
ideal the Man of God.
This was great gathering and a
great speech. coming from man the
entire county loves. and one to whom
the great state OF Arkansas is now
looking to lead them out of the wilder
ness of extravaganza and misrule and
to set this state upon its feet along al
Nane lines.
Nj MeRae. the prayers and best
wishes Of TIE entire county of Nevada

GERMANY is
SMALL MARKET
Can Take Only 100000 Bales
of Cotton, Agricultural
Bureau Reports.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE German
cotton industry. even if aided by
American credits. could consume not
more than 100000 bales of American
cotton during the present cotton year.
according to an estimate made by the
Department of Agriculture's Bureau
of Markets, after an inquiry through
confidential channels.
1t was found that approximately L.
000.000 German SpindleS are idle, but
not entirely because of the lack of
raw cotton. Investigation as to whcth-
er mills could be started if raw cotton
were available, if they could buy on
credit and whether they would be Will
ing to give first lien on mills and on
one half of all manufactured goods to
guarantee payment of bills at matur-
ity. disclosed that first lien upon mills
is impracticable because most mills al
ready are mortgagcd and the trade
says collateral requested by equities
in plants must be used To obtain local
working capital Banks are reluctant
10 guarantee payments because they
are thereby Obliged on long term cred

industry i against any government
guaranty which would enable the Ger
man government to obtain any sort of
control over the industry The mills
are willing ia make deferred payments
in American currency.
The report tells of the shrinkagc in

cotton prices to go lower and has no
wish to buy, except for immediate re-
quirements
The manufacturers having govern
ment support are anxious to establish
cot on credits. They think six
months credit of SG0.000.Q00 is ne
cesSary. The only security suggested
is acceptance of the shippers draft by
the manufacturers and endorsements
