Planters and Tradesmen
Anxious Over Crop Report
BY 1. v. SHANNON.

BY L. v. SHANNON. s
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS. September 2S.-
Planters and business men in the
cotton states are waiting for the
government report on crop condi-
tions, which will be issued early next
week, with much anxiety. Some be-
lieve that the report will show
shrinkage Of 100000 bales since the
previous report, or a crop OF 100000
bales, compared to estimates OF
7,O00,o in August, and 100000 in
July.
1t is felt such a shrinkage would
be a decided blow to tho south, even
though the price of cotton has dou-
bled in the last six weeks, as any
increase in price would fail to COM
by the individual planter.
1t is pointed out that while many
farmers benefited by the increase of
$50 a bale, which came to stocks Of
old cotton from last years crops, the
greater portion of this benefit went
to middlemen and SPECTATORS. 1t is
feared the spectators will occupy
q similar position this year, as they
are already reported paying higher
prices on the farms in many Sec
tions of the cotton belt than the
staple is bringing In the leading mar
kets.
A seven and a half million bale
crop was viewed with satisfaction by
all, but 1t Is feared a 100000 bale

Developments and Awaits
More Definite News.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, September 2s.-The
market was again highly professional.
Here and there pressure was applied,
and elsewhere pools were making ef-
forts to start a movement to higher
levels, meeting with but poor success.
There is no question but what the
public is Indifferent to the market at
this time, also that banking interests
would probably rather see a steady,
perhaps sustained, market, with small
ments in the Industrial situation.
The bear element directed its at
tention to food stocks, oils, equip
ments and motors. meeting with sue
cess measurable by declines of Il
to " points.
Mexican Petroleum followed its
usual course, furnishing erratic fuc-
reacting and again making good its
loss. all before the advent Of the noon
hour.
Harvester. Chandler. Studebaker and
Crucible Steel lost 1 to points. The
steels were under intermittent pres
sure.
Pools selected some of the. more OBJ
tide to strength, Wells Fargo, West
ern Union, Burns Brothers, Corn
Products and Continental Can being
given show of strength on. their
action.
Firmness also was shown in Royal
Dutch, coppers and Asphalt.
The coalers seemed to be under
slight pressure and prices were gen.
orally easier, save on New York, On
tario and Western, which was strong.
German Marks .7s.
German marks made a new low at
.78. The subsequent rally above 80
may or may not have had more than
temporary significance. But today at
least 1t was set down as nothing more
than the covering in of profit by
spectators who had been on the
short side. Meanwhile it was to be
expected, in view of the fresh collapse
in the mark. that the German bank
statement for the week should show
note issue. The increase this time
amounted to over 700,000.000 marks.
From the first week in June, when
the German government in it's des-
perate .ffort to raise gold for the rep
arations. began its reckless use of the
circulation privilege. this. account at
the reichsbank has risen from less
900 marks.
1t was fair comment on the stock
market that it was not as responsive
as might have been expected to the
favorable trade news which has been
coming in for the last few days.
The Days News.
First of all was the demonstration
that cotton prices had not over-rated
the extent of the crop shortage, and
that the rise of the first fortnight in
September was going to hold. Second
In Importance was the advance in steel
prices. accompanying considerably in
creased production in various lines
Third came the testimony of the Au-
gust traffic returns. that the majority
of the roads did still better last month
than the month before. Finally here
was yesterdays advance in Pennsyl-
vania crude oil. the first increase in
three months, and the 5,O0O,0 pound
copper purchase by the American
Brass Company. both of which were
accepted as indications that the stu
alton in these two industries is on the

NAVY LABOR VOTES
PLEA TO congress
Delegates Uphold Suggestion
That Wage Law of 1862
Should Be Amended.

Decision to carry the navy yard
wage controversy to Congress was
definitely reached today by delegates
to the convention of District No. A,
International Association of Machin-
lists, in session at the Machinists' build
ing. Methods of procedure to obtain
congressional legislation to have the
award OF the general navy wage board
reviewed with a view of having the
former pay scale re-establfshed were
discussed at length
Whether to ask Congress to pass a
Joint resolution ordering q rehearine
OF the wage case. or suggest amend
ing the wage law of 1852, was the
question under consideration. Senti-
ment among the delegates, it was said,
is crystallizing in favor Of the latter
plan.

bers Of the machinists' shop committee

was charged, had planned 20 deceive

The resolution was introduced by
Philip Engel, representative of the
Brooklyn navy yard employees who
pointed out that the two men had a
high efficiency rating and that facts
have been produced and submitted to the
ing that the members Of the shop COM
mittee did not deliberately intend to
deceive the management"
Canal Zone Situation.
The labor situation in the Panama
Canal Zone was outlined by c. H.
flushing, representing the government
employees in that territory. He said
that the War Department now has a
commission investigating conditions in
the Canal Zone with a view to effecting
economies.
Mr. flushing pointed out that the re-
suit of the commissions Investigation
may mean that it will recommend
lower wages and unsatisfactory work.
ing conditions for employees in the
Canal Zone. He appealed to the dele
gates to oppose any conditions which
would make working conditions there
less favorable.
The delegates attacked the reduction
in navy yard wages as a bad policy
not only for the worker, but also for
the employer. Many employers, 1t was
contended, are only waiting for wages
to "hit the bottom before they re-
sumo Industrial operations.
II fha e0varnmant'S action indfca od
an opinion that the low level has been
reached, it was declared, a resumption
of industry would follow. Action Of
this nature. 1t was said, would be the
best contribution that the government
could make toward combating un-
employment. since it would restore
confidence in the Industrial situation,
