Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

1 price reduction influence was making itself felt. For. in September, 1920, the price was only s6.56 pound. A drop of practically 50 per cent.
 Clothing wool, which cost us lit- of this year, in September was quoted at little over 43 cents a pound. tropical producers of many kinds have responded to the price reduction in impulse, as, for instance, the whole sale price our importers were com pelled to pay for cocoa in September was II cents pound, whereas in Au- gust, 1919, the wholesale price was a little over 20 cents.
 OTHER PRICE REDUCTIONS
 Our importers of certain manufac- tured articles were able to go into the foreign markets in September and se- cure raw material at greatly reduced price from the charge which was main- tained few months earlier. For in- stance. calf skins were 66 cents a pound last winter, but the wholesale price of this commodity in Septem- Der was only 3S. India rubber was quoted in the markets of other coun- tries in the spring at 46 cents per pound, but in September could be bought for 30.
 These few examples are sufficient to snow the depression in prices in the United States which have caused some business anxiety. By and by prices Will undoubtedly become stabilized. When they are then there should be resumption of buying on large scale It is not to be expected that purchases in considerable quantities will be made as long as prices for commodities continue to fall. Tn fact. almost all of the purchases now made, or contemplated, are for absolutely es- sential commodities.
 In some industries in the United States it is regarded as reasonable to assume that price reductions have reached the minimum. If that fact be established then a resumption of buy ing of the products of those indus tries will begin. Some who are fa- miliar with the steel industry are per suaded that the minimum reduction in the price of iron and steel commo- dities has not yet been reached But these authorities are also of the opin- ion that the minimum will soon be reached, and when it has been made evident that bottom prices have been established then resumption of buy ing on large scale will follow.
 This world reduction in prices is spoken of by those who have studied the situation as healthful, occasioning, of course, some temporary embarrass- ment but on the whole representing convalescence from fever of over stimulated production, with accom- panying high prices for the products.

 CONDEMNS WOODEN SHIPS
 Wooden ship construction contracts promulgated by the emergency fleet cor poration in the early days of it's organi- zation were gone into by Eads Johnston, who was district officer of the fleet Johnston generally condemned the wooden ship idea and said he resigned because he could not conform to it. In describing an experience with southern contractor who wanted to build such ships, Johnston said the idea seemed to be to build one million wooden ships that would take one million German tor pedoes to sink
 Johnston said that when the cost-plus plan of building wooden ships was changed to a lump sum" contract, ap- pications for contracts which had been as high as 1855 week took decided slump.
 Sales of surplus material now average about s1,OoO,0OO monthly, George D. Watt, manager of the eastern division of the sales and warehouse, testified. The pay roll of the division is about $2OO,0OO year. Watt said if the present ratio of sales continued it would require about 80 months to close out property.
 Robert Laggren, head of the depart ment, who had previously testified, was recalled and said he planned to clean the entire matter up in one year by making sales of entire projects. Loss, if any, by this form of sale. he explainea, would be balanced by cutting off the overhead expenses of holding on for higher prices and sales in small lots.
 It was said by members of the com mittee that R. w. Boiling, treasurer Lester Sisler. former secretary, and Alonzo Tweedale. now general comptroller of the shipping board would appear be- fore the committee tomorrow. MT. Bol- ling is expected to make formal state ment

For Good of the
 Community

HE man with less money on hand but a larger supply of wearables left over from last season and good for this is better off than men with little more cash money and no winter apparel.
 The fellow with $1O in his pocket and good overcoat is on easier street than he with S2O in his pocket and in dire need of a $40 overcoat
 Applying this process of extracting optimism to the status of farms, the fol- lowing comfortable data comes forth
 Alabama corn crop this year is 63, ,813,- 900 bushels compared with 62, ,843,000 in 1919.
 Yield of sweet potatoes this year is IT, 760,O00 bushels compared with 14,194,- 900 in 1919
 Irish potatoes are 3,792,OOO bushels this season compared with 3,52O,0O0 in 1919.
 Peanuts come crop of 8, 832, 900 bush els compared with 6,68O,OOO in 1919.
 Sorghum in 1920 has yielded a total of 8,883,000 gallons compared with 6,383,- 900 in 1919.
 Yields of other food crops are in pro- portion There is plenty of food for man and beast on the farm and there is no great pressing need of trotting to the store for much besides little sugar and coffee. Incidentally sugar and coffee have both decreased in price.
 The farmer will pay less for his wire, nails and wire fencing next year. Steel corporation prices will rule, the indepen- dents having receded to that level Lum- Der will cost less. The farm tractor will cost less. Horseshoes will be less.
 Southern bankers and warehousemen have stood by the cotton producer and off, fered many plans for making liquid as- set out of cotton stored pending better prices. He who wishes to hold his cotton can do so. He, who has sold at 50 per cent under last year, is paying less to live and will still pay less during the making of the coming crop.
 Our forefathers had plenty with to- bacco as the medium of exchange The ante-bellum planter had plenty without going to the stores because the ante-bel- lum farm cared for itself It was a fac tory as well as farm. The candles the cloth, the soap, the leather for shoes, the lumber, the smithy, the carpentry and the creamery were all institutions of the farm and came to the owner of the farm at the sole cost of labor.
 Corn will bring the working stock to spring blowing in fine condition. The Irish and sweet potatoes, the sorghum and the cornmeal together with the pigs and the beeves that have fattened on the peanuts, together with fowls from the barnyard and sorghum for the battercakes, will make sound and palatable eating.
 The larger corn yield was made on smaller acreage and sweet potatoes yield oI

study for one and two room rural

be given up on account of the high
cost of paper and printing. Such a
course is surely needed, and we think
the state auditing board might well
have looked elsewhere TO retrench
MS as nj the present these schools
