FOREIGN MARKETS NEEDED

Engene Meyer, Jr., managing di- rector of the war finance corporation, discussing the country's business problems, says in Forbes Magazine; Some people seem to be under the impression that there is an ineX- haustible market in foreign countries which has only to be tapped by the use of the magic word credit We need markets more than credit. and in the absence of the ability to dis pose of our enormous volume of ag- ricultural products within a short period, we need the machinery which will make possible 12 months marketing of our annual production. If we provide financing for the grad ual mark eting of our commodities. we will be doing only what any sensible merchant would do in hand ling his businsss. It is not a ques- ton of holding for speculative pur- poses, conditions compel us to hold for gradual marketing if we do not wish to cause disaster to ourselves and to those who buy from us. Mer chants and manufacturers want reasonably stabilized market, and we as producers must control our goods in a way to meet the financial conditions of the buying market.
 This is the problem to which we must address ourselves with all the energy and ability at our command. I am convinced that the worst stage of agricultural and business depres- sion has been reached, and that the turn iE the road is in sight. With banking credits available in regular channels; with the liberalizing of the federal reserve regulations so as to make eligible for rediscount ina port and export paper running for six months instead of only three months as formerly: with the author ization to the federal reserve banks to make loans indirectly to non member banks acting through the agency and with the indorsement or a member bank; with the tangible assistance which the war finance corporation has given and has agreed to give; with the additional financial aid that will be available under the pending legislation. if it is enacted by the Congress; with such emerg- ency funds as the live stock loan fund of s50,0o0,000 recently raised by the bankers of New York, Chlca go and other cities; and with the assurance that similar fund wli' if necessary be forthcoming in due course to aid in financing cotton we may, with reason feel that defin- ite progress has been made toward inc solution of our financial difu- entities and toward the adequate IT. nancing of our commodities untli they can be marketed in an orderiy way

NEW YORK COTTON h.. ArnAninfad RrnSS
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, October 4.-Early gains in cotton today carried prices 26 to 36 points higher than the close of yesterday to 20.s5c for December, but heavy selling met the advance and values shortly were depressed below the level of yesterdays close. Heaviest pressure came in the after noon and 1t forced the trading months 55 to 6S points under yesterdays fi- nals, December dropping to 19.s2c. The close was at 20.00c pound for December with the list at net losses of AS to 56 points.
 The strength of the early trading was gained mainly from Liverpool, which stood better than due on fu- lures and reported spot sales of 16,000 bales. As the market rose the usual liquidation of long contracts was met along with hedge selling but, finally important selling for short account appeared and it furnished the ring with greater supply of contracts than it could absorb.
 While many points in the interior told of continued good spot in- quiry, there were reports that in the local market offerings were some what freer. Easiness in the grain market had an immediate effect on cotton and the weakness ocean, pro nounced following new rumors of un- favorable labor and industrial de- velopments In Great Britain. The weather over the belt was decidedly colder and too much rain fell in some sections, but. other claims of next to no cotton in the fields, weather news had little effect

TUMBLE IN WHEAT. DURING LATER HALF. OF DAYS TRADING.
Corn and Oats Both Follow Suit While Provisions Were In Full Sympathy
 With Grain
By Associated Press

Chicago. Octobzer 4.-wheat under went decided tumble in value to- day after scoring upturns during the first half of the board of trade ses- sion. Hedging pressure from the northwest, together with absence of export business, had much to do with weak ening the market. Prices closed December s115A@115h, and May $119$4 11.20. Corn lost 14 e ssc, and oats as q 1zc. The finish in provisions was unchanged to 12c lower.
 An opinion by leading member of the board who has just returned from four months trip to Europe, that there was but little unsold wheat across the Atlantic, and that there would be no world surplus of wheat this year, was more or less respon- sible for the initial upward swing of the market Absence of selling pres sure was also a notable feature for while. Subsequently, however, sell - ing brcadened out, especially on Northwestern account, and with ex- port demand very slow. The market gave way rapidly, the last hour in particular.
 Contributing to the late weakness was talk that Argentina was under selling the United States and that British exporters were in trouble be- cause of failure of continental buy CTS to pay for wheat.
 Bears in the corn market con tended that the corn crop was bene- fitted by the last nights frost, as the crop had already matured. Oats were governed by the action of corn
 Provisions declined at the last in sympathy with grain, but for the greater part of the day had preVi- ously been upheld by higher quota tions on hogs.

HEAVY OFFERINGS
 CAUSED A SLUMP
 IN ALL CONTkACIS
General Cotton Market'CIoSed Barely Steady at a Net De- cline of Forty-five to
 Sixty-three Points
By Associated Press

New York, October 4.-An early ad- vance met increased offerings in the cotton market today, and after selling at 21,24c, December contracts eased off to 2O.3oc, closing at 2o.S5c, com pared with 20.90c at the close last night. The general market closed barely steady at a net decline of 45 to 6S points for the day,
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 2S points to an advance of 9 points and showed considerable firm ness right after the call, owing to the higher Liverpool cables. continued large Liverpool spots and buying here by houses with Liverpool and conti
 mental connections. This was sup posed to reflect the influence of yes- terday's crop figures on the trade abroad, and there was some rebuying by yesterdays sellers which helped the early advance. october sold up to 2l.1oc and January to 20.sSc, with ac- tive months generally showing net gains of 21 to 34 points, but above the 21c level for December the market met increased offerings. Part of the selling was attributed to southern hedging, while there was q good deal of realizing, and aside from that local selling for a reaction seemed to be- come more active and aggressive as prices worked lower. A revival of reports received here some time ago concerning threatened closing down of Welsh coal mines may prove fac! tor In the afternoon decline, although no definite development was reached in that connection. With the last of the monthly crop reports out of the way, however, the trade was evil dently more inclined to emphasize un- favorable features in the general sit uation and the market was unsettled in the late trading. October sold off to 20.30c and January to 19.95c, or 55 to Il points net lower. The close was a few points up from the lowest of covering. Private cables from Liverpool said that the general buy ing movement there was less active, but reached bullish sentiment. al though there were several later re- ports to the effect that the edge was off the market at Manchester. New Orleans was seller here during the day. Japanese interests sold early, but bought late in the afternoon.

---- PILGRIMS AND PURITANS rafossor A1har+ Rushnell Hart,

IOltoSOl <AtpSA
 Everybody who knows the early history of the two original New Eng :, land colonies must see how many or the mistakes of Massachusetts Puri- tans were avoided by the men ana women of Plymouth. Throughout their 70 years of separate colonial life they showed spirit more ike that of the later Massachusetts ana of the little western Massachusetts that later sprang up all the way across the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The splendid qualities of Puritan character all appear in Plymouth; but the Pilgrims were free from some of the unlovely traits of the more ambitious and beiilsereht neighbors.
 There is no esca ping the fact that the Puritans in general demanoeu toleration for themselves in Eng iahu and denied 1t to Catholics. Episcopal ians and Baptists when they got the power there and in the new world.
 In Plymouth there never was real bitter, honest to- the-devil heresy trial. They found Roger Williams good enough to be their minister when Massachusetts people speweo him out of their mouth. They even allowed Episcopalians to make a brief stay in their colony.
 In politics Plymouth was far more democratic than most of the colonies. In Massachusetts none could vote ex- cept selected church members. Fly mouth early received .perticulers.' that Is, men who had no share in the business company. Non-church members were often allowed to share in the government. including Cap tain shrimp" as Myles Standish was called by an enemy.
 As for federation the only thick and thin tolerationist was Roger Williams in Rhode Island; but 1t was 1850 before the statute book of Ply mouth shows an act against any churches or public meetings diversed from those already set up and ap- proved" and there was no formal ] persecution of other sects.
 If no leading statesmen were de- veloped by Plymouth like Winthrop I and Dudley in Massachusetts. if there were no great ministers like Cotton Mather and Increase Mather, there were likewise none of the stormy {; contests between the theocracy and I the commonalty.
 The big significant and undyinR contribution of Pilgrim and Puritan alike vas thair na.nanity to mt thinRs over.

STOCKS REPEAT,
 WITH OILS OF LOW
 GRADE ADVANCING
Call Money Loaned at Rate of Five Per Cent, With Time
 Rates Unchanged and k Offerings Liberal
By AssocIated Press

New York, October 4.-In it's chief characteristics today's stock market was largely a repetition of yester- days session. Domestic oils of the low grade varieties were most prom inent, making temporary extensions to recent gains on the further ad- vance of prices for crude and refined products.
 The cheaper or junior shares of western and southwestern railroads, as well as coalers of secondary inn portance also were favored, prob ably on the theory that their earn inEs are bound to show substantial improvement on the more extensive movement of commodities to market
 Usual leaders among industrials were irregular or heavy, representa- tive steels, equipments, motors and affiliated Issues being supplanted by obscure specialties. These em- braced most of the mail order and chain store stocks, Kress, for ex- ample, rising 13 points on a 64 per cent stock dividend.
 Sugars continued to weaken in consequence of the increasingly pre- carious state of that industry. Amer ican Sugar common and preferred. at extreme decline of to [ points, were at minimum quotations for a number of years Shlppings, foreign oils and tobaccos were included among the backward stocks, the market being most reactionary in the final hour.
 Call money was loaned at the fixed rate of per cent, and time rates were unchanged, but offerings, even for the shorter maturities, were less liberal. The opposition of Governor Harding of the federal reserve board to any drastic reduction of redis- counts met with approval in high financial circles.
 All European exchanges excepting Italian rates were firm to strong on heavier dealings, especially for ster- ling. which rose above 3.74 for de- mand for the first time in nearly fortnight
 Liberty bonds of the several quar- ter issues were notably strong at the years highest quotations, and several of the foreign war flota- tions, including French and Belgian issues, rallied from recent heaviness. Total sales, par value, aggregated St7,250, 900.
