flation movemAnt, except in some
special lines. has II marked effect in
checking the distribution of manu-
factured cotton goods and appears to
be one of the fundamental causes for
the recent sharp falling off i'm the
production of the cotton mills as well
as the numerous shut downs and short
time operations. Until retail prices
reflect more broadly the sharp cuts
announced by manufacturers, con-
sumers will continue Indifferent and
buy for immediate necessities only.
II dealers should liquidate some of
the present stocks. even at loss In
some eases, they would be supplied
with funds TO buy new goods at the
prevailing low levels and materially
aid starting W new business. South
ern and eastern mills have been buy
ing some cotton in the leading in
terror markets and there have been
larger sales of the old crop low grade
sue has have been drug on the mar
ket, FOR shipment TO Europe. These
sales in connection with the increased
foreign movement and organization of
export corporations should materially
improve the banking situation in the
western and southwestern sections of
the cotton belt. With the expansion
of loans necessary to finance tho
holding movement in the eastern
section further decline in cotton
quotations might be followed by calls
for readjustment to market values,
although the interests Of all con-
cerned, including the banks, is not to
force the liquidation of cotton held
against loans. To sum up the pros
pect for a continued heavy movement
of the CROP for n while longer, and
the combined spinners takings and
exports much below the receipts,
there is more probability of stocks
in this country increasing than de-
creasing with so many mills shut
down or operating on short time and
no immediate prospect of an improve
ment in sight. This warrants The
conclusion that no sustained upward
movement can he maintained at the
present time, nor until there IS
marked improvement in the trade de-

Not ENOUGH TEXT BOOKS
Kansas Not Only State to Report

states.
Information I have received from
! officials in other states reveals the fact
that there has been a serious shortage
of text books, both elementary and
high school, in most of the states that
have statewide adoptions. Some largo
cites which arc the local adoption
system have suffered equally. One
state suffering from school book
shortage has threatened to bring legal
action against the publishing COM
panies in order to force the delivery of
books"
Mr. McIlhenny said his canvass
showed the states most seriously af-
fected to be widely scattered-Florida,
Oregon, West Virginia, kentucky and
Oklahoma. He sad in all instances
the explanation of the publishing
houses had been practically the same:

conditions. the state commission an
