THE FREIGHT CHARGE AND THE
COST PRICE

The Dallas News, inspeaking of the
increased freight rates, says, in part:
perhaps it woull be impossible
to show that no increases whatever
in the prices of commodities should
follow the increase IN freight rates.
But that the margin of profit in most
commodities are ample to absorb the
increased cost of transporting them
without imposing any hardship
on dealers must be thought
abundantly evident. One OF the rail-
road traffic men showed the other
day what would be the increase in
the carrying charge for a few COM
modities from some of the principal
shipping points outside Texas to
points within the State. For shoes,
he stated 1t to be 1.2c pair; for a
suit for clothes, 3.Sc; for hats, 2.2c
each: for shirts, &C each; for sugar,
two-tenths cent a pound; also for
canned goods AMI Dicon, Wnlle lot
fifty-pound sack OF flour the increas-
ed transportation charge would be
Csc. with half that amount for
bushel of oats. In some instances
the increase in the cost of transpor-
tation in infinitesimal, compared with
the prices of the commodities, and
in none of them can It be said to be
more than negligible. The margin OF
profits are very much narrower than
they are popularity thought to be II
they cannot absorb most of these in
creases in the cost of transportation
without trenching perceptibly on the
earnings of dealers.

A PARODY.

The following parody by the New
York Sun, altho probably inspired as
a piece of sarcasm, has the sordid
ring of pessimism and carries with
it tinge of the modern psychology
cal trend of thought:
Strike and the world strikes
with you, work and you work alone;
our souls are ablaze with a Bolshe-
vik craze, the widest that ever was
known. Groan and therell be
chorus. smile and you make no hit;
for we've grown long hair and We
preach despair. and show you daily
it Spend and the gang will cheer
you, save and you have no friend;
for we throw our bucks TO the birds
and ducks, and borrow from all
who'll lend Knock and you'll be a
winner. boost and you'll be o frost;
for the old ways of the pre-war days
are now from the program lost.
Strike and the world strikes with
you. work and you work alone; for
we'd rather yell and raise blue hell
than strive for an honest bone Rant
and you are leader, toll and you
are a NUT twas a bitter day when
we pulled away from the old-time
workday rut Wait and there1l be

IMPORTANT TAN ON COTTON
Fort Worth Record.

Fort Worth Record.
Exports OF cotton in the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1920. were 6,915,40s
bales. OF which 3, 323,O75, worth
$3.50, 0S3,249 were shipped to Great
Britain. Readers of the Record are
reminded that American growers
produced a crop of less than 1900
900 bales in 1919. They are re-
minded that European spinners must
have taken more than half of the
total crop OF 1919. They are re-
minded that the cotton crop OF the
world is estimated at 10000. 900
bales. Texas Republicans suggest an
import tax on cotton. Who will pay
IL? Southern cotton growers must
find a market abroad for millions OF
bales every year.

East Texas, for those people are ex-

Some of our people are suggesting
that the farmers get into agreement

Texas women were urged last
winter to pay their poll tax. Many
of them failed to do so. Now
since equal suffrage is practically
assured there is much talk being

permit women to vote in the general

Such an act would be unfair to the

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, Jan. 31--Industrial stocks of the more representative classes gave promise of extending re cent gains at the outset of today ( brief session, steels and equipments again pointing the Way, with percepti- ble improvement ill rails and ship pings.
 Trading had not progressed very far, however, when pressure, evidently of professional character, manifested itself in the motor issues, soon spread ing to the general list.
 General Motors made an extreme re- versal of 10 points, ending with a net loss of 6%, and Crucible Steers iR- itial moderate gain was replaced by a decline of slightly more than 5 points.
 Baldwin Locomotive, leader of re- cent markets, also forfeited its fur ther advance and Republic Iron seemed to be the objective of a lively short interest. United States Steel lost only a fraction, but oils and the numerous specialties that follow the course of motors closed mostly at moderate recessions. Sales amounted to 350,000 shares.
 Actual reserves made up only a small part of last weeks decrease, but left the total excess at about $23,000,000 as against the recent defi- cit of almost $3,000,000.
 Following it's course of the preced- ing days of the week, the bond mar ket lost additional ground, and Lib erty and foreign issues displayed fur ther heaviness. Total sales (par value) aggregated $S,750,000 Old United States bonds were unchanged on call during the week.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The United States made the third largest contri- button in fighting forces during the war, namely, approximately 2,000 900 men, according to figures compiled by British statisticians. France head ed the list, while Great Britain came second with grand total of S,654,- 467.
 The ration strength of the Amer ican army in France on Armistice Day, that is, the total number of men who were being fed from army stocks, is placed at 1,924,000 while Great Britain's ration strength in this thea ter on tue saMe date was 1.72t6T8. This does hot take into account pris- oners of war or the negro labor em- ployed by England.
 Americas combatant strength in France on Armistice Day is set down at 1,160,000 and Great Britain's $ at 1,164,799. The combatant strength includes all troops whose functions are, in the first place, fighting.

Paraguay Tea May
 Replace American Drinks with Kick

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 31.-Bottled mate or Paraguay tea, the famous South American beverage, may be- come a prohibition drink in the Unit ed States. One North American manu- facturer of beverages is making in quiries in Buenos Aires to ascertain whether to import the mate herb from Argentina and introduce it to North Americans.
 Drinking mate through the bombilla | is a national custom not so much prac- ticed in South American cities as i formerly, but is still common in the camp" or agricultural districts. The bombilla, a metal tube about six inches long, with the thickness of a pencil, is fan-shaped at the end dot | ted with small holes like a sieve through which the liquid is drunk ! from a sun-dried gourd about the size of large apple.
 The liquid is prepared by filling the 1 gourd with the herb, then boiling wa 1 ter is added The host takes the first drink and the gourd is refilled and handed to the guests in success sion. The supply of mate is renewed as is required. Silver and even gold families.
 Mate is grown extensively in the extreme northeastern section of Ar gentina, Paraguay and Brazil, where large tracts of land are given over to it's cultivation.
 The herb possesses astringest qual- itites which makes it an invaluable beverage among the farming people, who consume large quantities of meat daily, this. together with hard bis cults, in some parts of the republic, being the only articles of food

MONEY MARKET
 GROWS TIGHTER

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-All other de- velopmentS of hcsitant and other wise uncertain week in the financial markets were overshadowed by the more serious crash in foreign ex- change. Reduced. quotations on credits against England, France. Italy and other European countries were without precedent and excited grave concern among banking inter- ests here and abroad. Those who recalled that December exports fell away by almost s6o,000,00O as com pared with November predicted that this latest reversal in exchange is likeyl to have even more favorable effect on those countries trade bal ance for the month ending today
 Domestic money conditions also denoted further disturbance in con- sequence of the policy of credit cur tailments adopted by the federal re- serve board. Time funds failed to relax even in slight degree and call loans ruled at 12 per cent with a maximum rate of 20 per cent
 Quoted. values on the stock ex- change suffered relatively little shrinkase. however, and in several cases final prices were we'll over those of the previous week.
 Further wage increases by leading steel mills were regarded in many quarters as foreshadowing an upward revision of price schedules, but sev- eral of the leading producers deny such action is contemplated.
 That some of the other important industries are not keeping pace with the steel trade. however, is seen in the recent statements of leather and testile companies and another re- versal in the copper metal market.
