Prohibition and Trade


If we make good with prohibition
and we will make good-England will
go bone dry within ten years" saws
"Pussyfcot" Johnson. Some of their
biggest men over there have told me
that England cannot compete in the
commercial world with dry America -
In that last sentence is much food
for thought. The line of REASONING II
suggests is not new, but it has been
ignored in recent discussions raging
over the more or less defunct body
or Demon Rum. 1t is a timely remin
der that the industrial efficiency urged
in the prohibition days as a valid bus
mess reason for abolishing the uouor
traffic is real thing, and i, warnine
OF how big figure sobriety is going Ia
cut in future competition for world
trade.
Those English business men are
doubtless right about it. 1t stands 10
reason that just as one mechanic or
one office manager can do more effec
tive work sober than he can with aIco-
mol In his system. SO can a whole in
dustry or a whole industrial nation
but many people had never made this
extended application of familiar
truth.
Herein lies what may be ehe deter
mining faGtor inN the great period of
International business rivalry now
dawning. A sober America can GER

WEAKNESS RULED
COTTON CLOSING
Unchanged to Nine Points Up Compared
With Yesterdays Close.

NEW ORLEANS, July S.--A firm tone
prevailed in cotton today during the first
half of the session but weakness ruled
in the end and the close was unchanged
to nine points up compared with yester-
days close. Reports of further improve
ment in the spot situation were mainly
responsible for gains that set in on the
opening and persisted until they amount
ed to "a to IS points, October rising to
12.47 From this level October fell off
to 1922, and closed at 1924.
While weakened realizing from the
long side had something to do with the
slump in the late trading, it had it's start
in reported private crop reporting bu-
reau condition percentage of 71.2 against
10 a fortnight ago. This improvement
seemed to be hardly expected by the
trade and for a while it caused much
selling and sent the trading months to
levels one point under to six points over
the last quotations of yesterday.
The opening was higher, much being
made of the rise in the Liverpool mar
ket and sales of 10000 bales on the spot
in that market. 1t was continued on ac-
count of a better demand in southern
spot markets from Liverpool, the conti-
nent and the Orient. and on claims that
a large spot interest existed which was
resulting in pressure to buy. The
loan announced by the war finance cor
in Mississippi. amounting to five million
had something to do with the
firmness Of the early session.

new HIGH GROUND
In COTTON PRICE
Firmer Spot Basis Reported in South
During Past Week.

NEW YORK, July S.-Reports of an
increasing export and domestic trade de-
mand have followed the publication of
the end-June crop figures and The set
tIement of the British coal strike IN the
cotton market. Buying on these features
was checked during the earlier part of
the week by The lear of increased spot
offerings on advances. Later, however
a firmer spot oasls was reported in the
south owing to an improved export de
mand and prices here made new high
ground for the movement during the days
trading, with October contracts selling
at 1898. compared with 11.22, tne low
record Of last month. and 1899, the best
price touched on the advance of last
May. According to local brokers, buyers
have not found much encouragement in
the news from the domestic goods trade
which has been more or less irregular.
while some Increased curtailment has
been reported among the yarn mills.
Midweek reactions were promoted by a
fairly favorable weekly review of crop
progress by the weather bureau and
there has been no serious criticism of
weather conditions, since then. The in
creased spot sales reached into the south
ern markets at moderate advances and
larger hedge selling also tended to hold
the market in check during the earlier
part Of the week, as indicating that buy
ers were securing cotton quite readily.
Toward the close of the week, however,
it was reported more difficult to buy in
both eastern and western sections than
when prices were a cent a pound lower.
These reports combined with smaller ar
rivals here for delivery on contracts the
increased spot business reported in Liv
erpool and indications of a reviving Ian
cashire demand were largely responsible
for the late week advances.
A statement that the war finance cor !
poration has agreed to loan money for
the financing of staple cotton by an as
ISOLATION of Mississippi growers may also
have contributed to the frmer tone of
the market as indicating that additional
credit facilities viii be provided if they |
should be found necessary by the COM |
mittee which is now investigating the
matter. The extent of the old crop sup !
ply is still being emphasized by traders
who feel that the test of the spot mar |
kets will come as new crop cotton be- |
gins to move and reactions during to- |

COTTON MARKET
TURNED EASIER
Under Realizing mad Rumors of Fa-
vorable Mid Month Crop
Reports

NEW YORK, July S.-After adj
vancing quite sharply on the buliish
spot advices, the cotton market turned
easier during today's late trading un-
der realizing and rumors of favorable
mid month crop reports. october con-
tracts sold off from 1924 to 1851
and closed at 1858 with the general
market closing barely steady, net 8
points higher to IL points lower.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of points on August but gem
orally s to 10 points higher on the
firmer Liverpool cables, and increased
Liverpool spot sales. The latter
amounted to 10000 bales, the largest
business reported on any one day for
months and the revival Of interest on
the part of Lancashire spinners was
also supposed to be reflected in the re-
ports of an increasing demand in the
south. According to local spot brokers
it has become more difficult to buy
spot cotton in the interior on this adj
vance than it was on the publication
of the bureau report.
The early advance carried the mar
ket about 25 to 80 points above last
nights closing figures late in the
morning with July selling at 1928 and
December 1910. There was more re-
alizing as prices approached the 10
cent level for October, however, and
the market weakened in the late trad
ing when there was also southern SELL
ing accompanied by talk of approach
ing crop conditions. July broke to
11.97 and December to 1886 and the
close was at about the lowest point of
the day on most positions. Report
that the war finance corporation had
agreed to advance funds for financing
cotton by an association of growers in
Mississippi, probably promoted the
early buying, but the chief feature on
the advance into new high ground for
the movement was the bullish spot
news from Liverpool and the south.

5,172,44 so far this season. Port re-
ceipts 1879. u. S. port stocks, l.,
