TRAFFIC

Commissioners Decide 0rdi-

Strips to Be Guides.

There will be no jay walking
ordinance for Washington.
The District Commissioners be-
lieve such a regulation would be a
good thing theoretically, but do not
believe it practical. Instead, the
Commissioners plan to indicate by
white painted strips on the streets
the safest points for crossing.
TO DRAW UP RULES.
The Commissioners, In conference
yesterday. discussed proposed traffic
regulations. They directed Frank II.
stephens, District corporation coun-
sci, to draw up set OF regulations.
One OF the most important regula-
lions to be made is one governing the
issuance OF automobile operators
licenses. The Commissioners plan TO
vest in a committee OF the police de-
partment power 10 examine the physi-
cal fitness and automobile experience
Of each applicant for such license.
1--WE do not intend to compel auto
lists to renew their licenses yearly"
said Commissioner ]. Thilman Hen
drick today. I'VE feel that only
hackers should be made to get a new
license each year. The regulations
tho Commissioners intend to draw UP
along this line will be strict, but they
will be practical"
In many instances. with the new
regulation, applicants will be made
to demonstrate their ability to run
an automobile. Commissioner Hend-
rick said.
AVENUE PARKING UPHELD.
The Comm ssioners turned down the
recommendation that there be no
parking in the center OF Pennsylvania
avenue.
while we believe such parking
mars, to some extent the beauty OF

greatly reduce the parking space now
available" Commissioner Hendrick
said.
Commissioner Hendrick said many
suggestions for new regulations were
received.
~fhe Commissioners intend to make
a few regulations and see that they
are enforced to the letter" said
Hendrick.

1919-192O Cotton Figures Given Out By Hester.
 Increae $471,292,652
By Associated Pres,

New Orleans, August S.-The compleS Se statement of the cotton crop of the United States for the cotton year just ended on July 31 was given to the trade yesterday by H. G. Hester, secretary ef the New Orleans cotton exchange,
 Outstanding features in the report were the figures on values, Secretary Hester
 saying that prices paid for the crop were the highest in fifty-three years, and the figures on exports, which cred tied Germany and Austria, after having been practically out of the American market since 1914, with 475,000 bales
 Total exports of American cotton for the year were over 900,oo0 bales larger than for the preceding year, the total movement being 6,S66,00S bales from all ports, against 5.4S5,434 last year.
 The total value of the crop of 19l9-21 was placed at the enormous sum of $2,- 5l6, ,544 520 an increase of $471 1.292, ,652 over the valuation of the preceding crop. In this sum is included the value of the
 seed. The average price of middling spot cotton during the year was Ss.2l cents pound, which, compares with the average of 3o.36 cents for last year, and the average commercial value per bale was s1S2.9s, against s15516 last year. AS stated in a preliminary report ot the trade on the first day of the new cotton year, the size of the old conner oial crop was 12 443,0o0 bales, which com pares with a crop of 11640,0O0 bales las- year. The actual growth of 191s-2o was | placed at 100000 bales. The total carry-over from previous seasons amounted to 6,0s6,oo0 bales, which was

SPECULATION AT
 Z GENT VARIATION
Cotton Futures Swing Both Ways Spot Market
 Was Inactive

New Orleans, August S.--Prices ranged over almost two cents a pound on the active months in the cotton market last week. but during a good-part of the week price changes were not very wide great irregularity prevailed and the mar ket had no very decided trend. This was due to the bearish influence of poor trade accounts and the European politi- cal news on the one hand and the fear that the crop was showing first signs Of deterioration on the other.
 On the close rains in the belt and re- ports of insect damage, gave the mar Ret very steady tone. The net change for the week was an advance of forty to sixty-one points. Highest prices were made on the opening sesssion of the week on most months. while the lowest prices were scattered through the week At the highest the trading months were S9 to no points over the close of the pre- ceding week: at the lowest, they were seven to ninety-one points under. The range was IT to 1S0 points. October traded up to 3l.20 cents and down to g. 40 cents, closing at S0.90 cents. In the spot department, middling lost POO points closing at 75 cents
 This week. the first consideration will be the weather conditions over the belt for some of the most important sections have started complaining of excessive moisture and if wet weather continues the general idea is that insect damage wili>become very great and the deterior- ation which is natural to this month will be increased. A return to dry and warm weather would cause complaints to les sen and would probably allow the trade to give full attention to the political situation in Europe
 The movement of the new crop is bound to attract more attention during the near future because picking is going ahead over an ever-increasing acrea. As yet the spot market has failed to show any great activity and signs of a quickening spot demand would probably have a marked favorable influence on the con tract market.
 By the end of the week, semi-monthly figures on condition of the crop should make their appearance and they are | bound to be a factor in the daily swing ! in the price. one way or the other.
