NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET
7-roHRn & eLUcK COTTON Letter


NEW ORLEANS, July 20.-Small depres-
sions persls cd in the cotton market today,
mainly because of more favorable opinion
of weather and crop accounts and the
growth of bearish sentiment concerning the
July figures Large sales in the cotton
goods markets of this country and contin-
ued improvement in spot market condi
tons brought i'll little Support. Lowest
prices came late in the day when the most
active months II points under the
close of yesterday. Last prices showed
losses of Is to IS points.
About the largest sales Of dress ging
hams ever male were reported in New York
yesterday and it is said that important
mills are sold far ahead. In the south there
are many mills that appear to be in good
position and more demand for spots is COM
ing from them. Liverpool sold 10, 600 bales
on the spot but was worse than due on flu
lures and spots sales attracted little at
tenion.
Heavies selling of the day was encour-
aged by the weekly crop accounts from
the government which were fairly favora-
Bile, taken as a whole. although they made
considerable mention of boil weevl dam
ae. Minor fluctuations of the near future
are likely to be governed by sentiment re-
GardinG the July condition report and it
might well be admitted that traders
are rather bearish in this respect.

three little girls from Panama, mem

COTTON

NEW YORK, July 20.-Lower prices
were scored in the cotton market early to-
day as a result Of poor cables and local and
Wall street selling. The opening was barely
steady at to 10 points decline and in sub
sequent transactions, Notwithstanding mod
crate support from New Orleans and the
Atlantic states, based on showery weather,
the market eased off to 1918 for October
and Is. IS for December, or 10 to IA points
net lower. Scattered trade buying and fur
Their favorable reports from textile centers
failed to help the market, which towards
the end of the first hour was easy.
Although the first impression of the week
~ government report was bearish, suose-
uuent perusal of details showed such pro-
nounced activity by boil weevil that the
market shortly improved, and at midday
had a very steady undertone around 12.9
for October, and IS. 80 for December, or
n few points above the previous close.
Subsequently the market felt renewed
pressure from Wall street and local sources,
which, III the absence of outside supporting
orders caused another weak spot. and at
o'clock October was back to 12.I5c and De-
cernber TO 1S1Sc or 10 to IA points under
the previous night.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, July 20.-Poor cables
caused a fall of IA TO 16 points in the price
of cotton around the opening today but ac-
counts of a much better demand for cotton
goods and of mills in this country being
larger buyers of spots soon gave the mar.
ket very steady tone. At the end of
the first hour Of trading the most active
months wer eonly 1 point under the final
prices of yesterday. October fell off to
10 % and recovered to -. ~.
rho weekly crop reports from the govern
ment were rather better than expected, and
tIey caused enough selling TO put prices to
levels s to points under the close of yes
torday by II o'clock. October fell PACK
to 12.34c.
Offerings gradually increased and the mar
ket received little support so that IN the
late trading the most active months were
II points under the last prices of yester-
day, October falling back to 12.26.

WHY PRICES ARE HIGH

The administration has found what
il believes to be one of the principal
causes for the high cost of living.
And in finding it. there is also found
an answer to the question continual
ly being asked by the farmers: why
is it that everything we have to buy
still has the wartime price tag attach
ed, while everything we sell is down to
rock bottom in price9"
The answer, according to surveys al
ready made by the department of JUS
tice and the department Of commerce,
is found in the 400 odd associations
organized along industrial lines which
have not disbanded since the war and
which are still operating under ami
cable Understandings" and gentle
mems agreements" regarding prices
and selling territories.
The investigation Of these associa-
tions by government agents has so far
only tapped the surface of conditions,
but they have disclosed enough to war
rant Attorney General Dougherty an
nouncing to-day that antitrust pro-
ceedings are going to be brought
against several Of the more open com
binations."
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1921-07-14
THE FARMERS BUYING POWER

The question, Whats the matter
with business?' can be answered
roughly with this simple statement of
facts: In 1914, 20 bushels of corn
would buy ton Of pig iron. In 1921,
As bushels of corn will buy ton of
pig iron.
This formula sets out the relation
between the purchasing power of the
farmer and the stuff he has to buy.
What is true OF the corn farmer is APP
pToxinlately true of cotton, WOOL and
livestock raisers. 1t is true in large
degree for all dealers in raw materials.
Why the farmer isn't buying as US
ual is not matter of psychology, or
mood, or anything of that sort. He
was exchanging his products for manu-
featured articles on a normal business
basis before the war when he could
buy his goods, that we represent by
ton of pig iron, with 20 bushels of
corn. Obviously, no matter how dis
posed he might be to buy to-day, his
purchasing power is slashed to pieces
when it takes As bushels of corn to
buy what he could have bought in
1914 for 20 bushels.
The farm purchasing power is the
biggest single block of purchasing
power in the country. The manufac-
turer can't run his factories on a nor
NAL basis when his farm market is cut
in two. The balance between farm
and factory, farm and city, must be
more nearly restored for business to
get into a healthy condition.
The situation isn't an easy one or
pleasant. But it is impossible to get
away from the fact that business as
usual can't go on until costs come
down within the farmers reach. Pro-
fits generally have been radically re-
duced. In many businesses they have
vanished. Is there any way for costs
to come down further without increas-
ing efficiency of production or de-
creasing wagesl
Wouldn't a man be better off to be
employed full time on smaller wages
than to be out of work or working
three days a week with a higher
scale ?-The Southland Farmer.
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1921-07-14

Attorney General Dougherty charac-
terized some of these associations as
the most ingenious schemes he ever
saw. So cleverly have the associa-
tons been made among various com
peting businesses that in many cases
there is grave doubt whether they can
be dissolved under existing laws and
in such instances, he said, moral sua-
sion is being attempted. IF they are
recalcitrant and stubborn, then the
government will take them into court
under civil and criminal statutes.
Lumber and coal men, cement men,
clothing men, manufacturers engaged
in the same line-all have their asso-
Citations, their organizations and their
Understandings" The farmer has
none of these, broadly speaking, and
therein lies the cause for the present
wide difference between the price of
the product the farmer has to sell and
the product he has to buy.
Whether these organizations come
within the pale of the antitrust laws
will be discussed in the courts The
administration leaders think they do.

founded Hartford, the Dorches-
ter people settled Windsor, and
those from Waterfowl estab-
lished Wethersfeld. For a few
years they remained a part of
Massachusetts, but early in 1889
the people of these three towns
met and drew up a written con-
stitution and agreed to govern
themselves. Meanwhile, in 1888,
a large company of colOnists I'M
der the leadership of John Dav-
export arrived from England and
settled the town of New Haven,
later spreading to Milford and
Stamford. These two distinct
colonies were later united and
took the name of Connecticut
from it's principal river. This is

fifth state to join the Union
when it adopted the Constitution
on January 8, 17SS. It is some

known as the Nutmeg state from
the humorous accusation that
it's peddlers were accustomed to
palm off wooden nutmegs to
their customers. The area of
Connecticut is 1895 square
