Rise in Cotton Causes
Joy Among Planters
BY J. n. FINING.
.ial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS, September 9.-Now that
agriculture is moving surely and
swiftly through the final stages OF
financial liquidation, much in this sec
ton is centered on the forthcoming
business conference in Washington in
the hope that a way will be paved for
liquidation of construction prices and
costs, Bankers here have indicated
that large sums await opportunities
for investment in building construc-
ton when conditions are favorable.
1t is felt here that the extent to
which unemployment may be reduced
will be determined by the reduction in
costs and materials in construction OF
industry. Jubilation possesses the
planters, merchants and bankers of
the cotton states. for the rise in cot
ton prices is of considerably greater
portent than is generally realized.
There is a domestic market for the
carfy-over supply and the new short
crop and it is felt that a year of
prosperity is guaranteed to the south
to a certainty. Financial institutions
are speedily building up reserve
strength and liquidation is going on
steadily If not SO rapidly in the grain
growing states.
Contraction of credit, however. is
still retarded in the oil districts of
Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana and
Texas. as the revival of the oil in
dustry hinges on the return of in
dustrial prosperity. Prices of cotton
goods have increased 25 to 35 per
cent in the last week.

STOCK REPORT SURPRISES

LONDON. September 9-The decision
of the Grand Trunk arbitration board.
declaring the common and preferred
stock of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada to be worth nothing created
a sensation on the stock exchange.
Jobbers were reluctant to make prices
on these securities. Surprise was ex-
pressed generally on the judgment of
the arbitrators.
Sir Alfred w. Smithers, chairman of
the Grand Trunk shareholders commit
tee in London, said today that as soon
as he obtained full details of the de-
cision he would call a meeting Of the
shareholders and take the necessary
steps in the matter. He said the share
holders had a right of appeal to the
supreme court of Canada, and, if neces-
sary, to the privy council.

THE Mississippi Delta was the hard

The disarmament conference seems
to have run against a snag. France
wishes TO build a navy that will
eclipse any other navy under the
agreement reached between Great
Britain, Uncle Sam and Japan.
Great Britain objects to such an
arrangement. and 1t is not strange.
France has been the object Of a
great deal Of sympathy from the
world generally, but an insistence OF
her demands would make her the OBJ
ject OF suspicion. France as die
tator OF Europe Is no more accept
able to the world than the prospects

Taxes High in Iowa Too


We often hear people talk about
taxes being 30 much higher here
than back where they came from.
Here is an extract from couple Of
Iowa papers relative to this matter.
The first comes from the st. Ansgar
Enterprise. which also quotes from
the Britt Tribune.
while the farmers are saying the
most about the high taxes and re-
duction Of them in many instances
the tax increase in the towns and
cities have been the most marked.
The highest we have yet seen any
account OF comes from Britt. We
quote this from the Britt Tribune:
Britt leads the county in her con
solidated levy, which reaches the
magnificent total of 724.79 mills.
This is the largest levy in the his
tory OF the town and ranks up with
anything In the state SO far as We
have been able to ascertain. Britt's
levy for school purposes Is 1882
mills. leaving about ll2 mills tc
take care Of all other purposes.
We are in the habit OF comparing
our taxes here at the present time
with what we paid back In the east
when we lived there ten or a dozen
years ago. Expenses have gone up
In Iowa the same as here. What
would people say to 1892 mills for
schools!
