THE PRICE SITUATION

The bankers of the country are in
a better position than any other
group of men to keep in touch with
the progress OF business conditions,
and none are better able thai they to
estimate accurately the trend of those
The great metropolitan
banks not only make such estimates
for their own use, but pass them on
for the information of the country at
large. One circular just issued by
the Mechanics & Metals bank of New
York presents the following interest
ing observations on the future Of
prices:
In some commodities prices have
probably reached h lowest point
they win touch on the present move
ment, and in q few instances in which
the decline has been drastic, there
will doubtless be a recovery. But in
consideration the average level of
prices, the present decline cannot yet
be said to have come to an end. In
many lines in which prices have not
yet been reduced there has been a
slowing up Of business and piling up
OF stocks in 1.-The hands OF producers.
If buying is to be stimulated, price
reductions in these lines are newt
able. Credit Is no longer easily avail
able for, the purpose Of holding goods
off the market in the hope that prices
will advance or recover and the Fed
eral Reserve board Is strongly OPP
posed to its use at present for such
q purpose. The freight congestion is
lifting. Prospects of the greatest cot
ton crop in six years, and OF the great
sst total Of cereal crops e reached
in this country, with the single <
ception of 1915, are lowering the cost
Of basic commodities.
"Yet the decline has probably pass
ed Its most drastic point. and further
declines are likely to be much less
violent. It is not unlikely that altered
credit and monetary conditions have
left prices on a permanently higher
basis. and that they will not in many
year, barring q very great increase in
n or goocs, return to the
levels Of 1919.
1T has sometimes been asserted
that prices cannot fall further be-
u costs Of production are % high.
This is partly true and partly untrue.
Costs Of production do not directly
control prices in any one year. Prices
are always controlled by supply and
demand i. supply becomes too great,

WHY WOMEN VOTERS
BECOME REPUBLICANS

Now that the responsibility Of vot-
ing is upon them, many women who
have hitherto given little heed To
politics are seeking information to
help them decide which party they
shall join. The statements of those
who have already decided, therefore
have much interest to women in gen
eral. Mrs. Henry M. Youmans, who
has recently accepted the Associate
Chairmanship of the Republican State
Central Committee of Wisconsin, has
answered the oft-repeated question.

About seventy-five men, chiefly
prospective cotton growers, held a
meeting at the Farm Bureau offices
Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. ]. p. Wray, OF Yuma Valley,
made the farmers a proposition to
put in a gin, costing approximately
S25,(D0 which offer was accepted. A
portion of the stock of the company
will be set aside for the farmers to
take up in shares of 500 each if they
wish to do So but that is not con-
sideration in the deal and the farm
ers will not be required to take stock
if they do not care to do so.
The organization will be known as
the Mesilla Valley Cotton Growers
Association, with units to extend 10
every cotton growing district OF the
county with the parent office in Las

1t is the intention OF the association
to put IN four gins in the valley
