 ECONOMIES IN FORCE
RY Assncinfed Press

WasnlnSton, August 2l.-The prss- ent administration of the war deparl- ment has effected every possible economy. Secretary Weeks stated in a summary of it's work since March {. The report, made public today by MT Calm. said the department had economized even to the extent of restricting activities which woui1 ordinarily be considered necessary wherever this could be done without a positive injury to the service.
 Reviewing the accompl shments of the department since he became sec retary. MT. Weeks declared that in his opinions one of the greatest was the selection of General Pershing and General Harboard as chief and deputy chief of staff as 1t means the lessons of the war would not be lost

COTTON DECLINES 8 ID r POINTS
 DURING THE WEEK
Outstanding Features Con. cerned Mainly With Grow ing Crop-Deterioration
 Claimed General
By Associated Press

New Orleans, August 21.-The net results of the last weeks trading in the cotton market were declines of 8 to 17 points In the contract depart ment, October closing at 12.s5 and de- clines of 13 points on middling spots, prices of the week were made on the opening session, while the low prices came at the middle of the week. At the highest the more active months in the contract market were to points under the close of the preceding week. At the lowest they were 49 to 53 points under. October traded as high as 1271c, and as low as 12.22c. The market moved over a range of 47 to 51 points.
 The outstanding features of the week were concerned mainly with the growing crop. It was claimed that deterioration was general and se- were In nearly all sections of the belt,
 and particularly severe in Texas, where the drouth continued. At the
 end of the week private crop ob-
 cCINcIo were StndlHB III IHCSod $ ca from Texas placing the percentage of condition at only 50 per cent of nor nal in many cases, and as low as AZ and 48 in a few cases. These figures compared with 62 as the condition of the Texas crop in the government returns to July 25. Severe deteriora- tion was reported in the eastern sec ton of the belt where in some To- calities too much rain was complained of. Weevil damage was reported over wide areas, and even in Texas, in spite of the drouthy conditions there
 Declines of the week appeared to be due in large measure to hedge sellings and at times offerings from spot houses were heavy enough to be the most prominent factor in the trading. The official weekly crop re- ports were much better than expected | and caused 9 temporary setback. Pr- vate reports, however. were always sufficiently bad to be constant sup port and to prevent any very wide | declines. At the end of the week | trading influences about balanced. | There were reports of an easier ] spot basis nj the southwest, bu 1 against this were messages from Fal
 River to the effect that large prin- | ters had cleaned that market up oi
 offerings of print cloths.
 Since the August condition period ends Thursday, around which day sev.
 eral private bureau condition esti
 mates are expected which will bs ! looked upon as important. Interes' | in the pending report is heightened | by the increasing tendency in some l quarters to contend that deteriora.

 enough to bring about chances of 2

 Corn finished unchanged to f lower and oats unchanged to F higher.
 In provisions there were net gains 0, 21a to 20 cents.
 At first tho wheat market slowed considerable weakness, owing largely to plete ending of the Argentine drought counted at go as a bearish factor, and so, too, did a7 apparent lu1l in export demand. Later, however, sterling turned upward again, and more conf dence in the foreign financial outlook was shown, especially after information was received which gave some promise of bet ter business conditions in Germany Bull fish sentiment was fostered likewise by adYices which emphasized rain damage to wheat shock northwest It was said arrivals at Minneapolis were damp and lacked quality, and that mfIlers were becoming active buyers at Kansas City. Estimates of farm holdings of winter wheat indicated that only a small amount remained to come forward in some sec tons.
 Corn was easy throughout tho day, the bulk of the crop being safe from frosts. Prospective better export trade tended to strengthen oats.
