Up to now it has been impossible
Tor persons even with money to pur-

increase, requiring Increased imports.
With industries assured of ade-
auate fuel supplies, there will be in
creased demand for raw materials
which the United States must sup

Europc's clothing scarcely will

cotton planters have succeeded in re

AS a result the banks are easing up
their pressure for liquidation on cot

Despite statements in congress to
the contrary, commerce experts state
the flow of wheat from the farms
has been normal and that there will
be a minimum carry-over into the

New York. Oct 3.-One of the most

of unusual proportions, prices broke
violently. until within ten minutes, u
reaction of 100 to 1875 points had been

Before publication of the report there
was It good deal of buying in the OK

actual figures of f2.2. were announced
tho market was overwhelmed with

generally were marked down for net
losses of 10 to g. points. Almost as
quickly as II came tho rush OF liqui-
dation subsidized and tho market be-
came steadier in trade buying with
rccovcrics in tho later trading.
Tho government report was only
slightly above the average OF the priv

selling which followed publication Of
the figures was attributed chiefly 10
liquidation OF speculative accounts.

mcnt today relative to the unemploy-

THE state Of Colorado is making

has done a great deal since the war
and contcmplatcs doing a great deal
moro to provide work for men out of

ton of permanent roads may be lost
to the state II arrangements are not
made for the sale of 100000 from II

the last general assembly for high

requirement that these bonds must be
sold at par. drawing per cent inter
est, has up to this time prevented the
state treasurer from disposing OF the
issue.
Tho same situation, to some e1-
tent applies to the states plan to
construct 10 or l. armories in as many
cities at total cost of approximate
" $500. 900. Work should start next
spring on the state medical hospital to
be financed partially by the state and
partially by the Rockefeller Founda-
ton at a cost OF 81 200. 900. About $780,
900 moro will be expended next year in
the building of a psychopathtc hos
pital by the state.
Among the buildings now In course
OF construction thru the use OF state

Commissioner j. NJ. jackson stated
that they had made an appropriation
Of five mills for flood protection and
that it still would make the tax levy
on the north side of the river 223
mills the same figures as last years
tax, while on the south side of the
river it would be six tenths of a niil
less. than it was during 1920, or at a
rate 23.3.
Despite the additional levy asked by
tho water company which wa
thought would mean a high tax levy.
The North Side water works will re-
ceive one mill and tho South side
water works are to receive one aud a
half mill extra to cover their c1-
penscs.
Tho five mills tax levy will take
care of the s175,0o0 already appro-
priated and expended for cleaning
streets. repairing and building bridges
and levees for this year. According
to a statement of Com issioncr Jack

ly necessary at this time to make the

was necessary to later put thru bond
issue in order to replace the property
that had been destroyed during the
