HUGE LOSS In COTTON
SEED NOW THREATENED

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 19.-Predicting a
loss in the southern cotton crop
amounting to millions of dollars un-
less cotton seed was given a higher
rank in the federal fuel directors
priority list, John T. Boifuillet,
Georgia coal administration today
was using every effort to secure fed
eral relief for the cotton seed in
dustry.
"Unless a better ranking for the
product is secured, the industry will
suffer a great loss by the 1922 crop
rotting in warehouses and mills, "
Mr.. Boifeuillet explained that cotton
seed was a perishable product, which
to be used must be crushed and the
oil extracted soon after the cotton is
ginned or it would rapidly deteriorate
and become valueless.
The coal shortage is beginning to
be felt in the cotton gins and oil
mills, he said.

STOCK MARKET
PRICES RISING
AND MONEY EASY
Rails and IndustriaIs AT Highest
Point of Year - Exchanges
Decline

New York, Aug. 19.-This week 5
advance in stock market prices
brought the average of rail and in.
uuStrlal shares to approximately the
highest of the year despite the un-
settlement of the Industrial situation.
Pdri of the labor trouble in the sof;
coal fields has been settled which had
beneficial effect on Industrial shares
reficcting the benefit of investment
buying while standard rails continued
to be accumulated by large interests
ana withdrawn from the market
thereby diminishing tne floating sun
ply.
Basic industries continued to be
had mt by the nationwide labor dis
rutes, production of the United States
Steel corporation being reduced to 60
per cent of capacity as compared with
% to 20 per cent. the week before
with corresponding reductions in in
dependent plants. Toward the end OF
the week, however. a modification of
plans for curtailcd production was
made on the assurance of increased
coal supplies.
Failure of the allied premiers to
reach an agreement on German reDa
rations impaired an irregular tone to
the foreign exchanges, German marks
falling to the extremely low level of
1-2 a hundred or about cents be-
low week ago. Business in German
exchange has been confined almost
entirely to spectators. most of the
commercial business with that coun-
try now being conducted on Il dollar
basis.
Money rates continue to be easy
with the supply generally in excess Of
the demand This explains in part the
steady rise in bond prices. A marked
decline is noted in new offerings but
two large preferred stock of we'll
known department stores were well
taken.

CITY HEADS TO
MEET IN ORLANDO
SEPTEMBER 7-8-9
Call Issued by Secretary-Treasurer
Jackson of Barlow for Spe-
cial Session

Barlow, Aug BE s. Jackson,
city auditor of Barlow and secretary
treasurer of the Florida League of
Municipalities. in the latter capacity
has issued a call for a special meet
ing of the league, which will be held
in Orlando. Sept. T. s and g.
Although the league was only or
ganiZed in June of this year it is
functioning forcefully and growing
rapidly. according to reports made to
Secretary Jackson. The cities repre-
sented at the organization meeting
which was held in Jacksonville. June
1. last, were sixteen in number, as
follows:
Barlow. Bradentown. Callahan Fort
Myers, Green Cove Springs. Kis-
simmee. Jacksonville. Lakeland. Mi
ami. New Smyrna. Orlando. Punta
Gorda. St Augustine South Jackson
Vile. Tampa and West Palm Beach.
Later Gainesville. Key West, Lake
City. Live Oak. Mcintosh. Okeechobec
City and Sanford Joined the league
membership bringing the number of
cities represented uD to twenty-three.
This number Mr.. Jackson hopes to
see greatly increased as a result of
the interest being aroused in the
forthcoming meeting at Orlando.
THE getting together of represen
tatives of city governments for the
purpose of securing ideas which
might be of value in the conduct OF
city government affairs is of com
paratively recent origin" said Secre-
tary Jackson, land is particularly
new in Florida. 1t was regarded as
new tangled by many when the idea
of forming a Florida league was first
mooted. Hoyever, the good results
from association are beginning to
make themselves felt even among
those Who at first refused to come in
and | look for an increase from
twenty-three to fully 100 members at
the Orlando meeting.
"The Florida league, though small
when gauged by numbers has been
very active through the various
committees and has made it's in
fiuence felt throughout the state. This
has been particularly true of the com
mittees which have been gathering
data and as we have gathered it
from the outs as well as the 'ins'
the former have been given oppor-
tunity to learn the value of mem
bership i'm the organization and manv
of them have manifested a disposi-
ton to be found in line from this
time on"

COAL AGREEMENT
NOT ANNOUNCED
ASPARLEYS GO ON
Optimism AS To Outcome Is Ex-
pressed, and Agreement
Hoped For Before Night

Philadelphia, Aug. 19.-The joint
conference of anthracite coal operat-
ors and miners adjourned this morn
ing until Monday, it was announced.
An official statement by James A. Cor
man, secretary of the operators or
ganization, said a contract had been
under discussion but contained no in
formation as to what progress toward
a settlement of the hard coal strike in
the anthracite had been made.
Philadelphia, Aug. 19-Anthracito
mine workers and operators were
ready today to resume their delibera-
tions seeking a settlement of the sus-
pension of work in the hard coal
fields.
If the desired end is any closer than
the end of the first session no indica-
ton has been given by either side
and the taciturnity gave rise to
rumors that the conference may have
struck snag.
No conference statement was issued
as on the previous day. The brief
statement issued by Joseph o. Cor
man, secretary Of the anthracite
board of conciliation, merely an
nOunced that another meeting had
been held. that both sides mad ad-
vanced views and that the conference
would reconvene at 10 a. m., today.
Both sides had pledged themselves to
make no further comment on the stu
alton, he said. However. the optimis-
tic observers professed to see in the
earlier hour set for today's session
an indication that some sort of agree
ment was hoped for before night.

UNCERTAINTY
in COTTON MART
STRIKE RESULT
Small Price Reductions In Some
Lines-Business Steady In
Small Lots

New York. Aug. 19.-Strikes
throughout the country have done
more to make cotton goods trading
quiet this week than the situation in
raw cotton itself. While there is still
a very substantial degree of uncer-
tainty expressed in the markets as to
the probable values of the staple and
the course of prices for goods, most
cotton merchants say that trade can
not improve very much until railroad
and mining troubles are out of the way
Shipments Of many goods are being
delayed and in son sections of the
country the coal scarcity is beginning
to be complained of by cotton mills
The movement of goods on past
orders continues steady while current
new business is very quiet. There
have been some miner concessions in
prices for sheetings and print cloth.
Wash fabrics business for spring is
still being confined largely to novel
ties and fancies. Domestics rule quiet
and barely steady. The leading ging
ham manufacturers have not yet
named spring dress gingham prices
Percales are being bought to the ex-
tent of current output. The local
jobbing trade reports business steady
but in snail lots for Immediate ship
ment. All goods are wanted when
due on past orders and the general
view in the trade is that merchandise
ing stocks in retail channels are light.

FOREST FIRES STILL
RAGE IN MINNESOTA
BUT NO MORE DEATHS

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 19.-After a
night of calm the men fighting the
200 odd fires spread over the 200, 200
acres in northern Minnesota, set out
today to get a strange hold on the
various blazes before they could be
stirred into greater menaces by high
winds. Light rain fell early today.
The settlers remaining in the
threatened settlements have been
warned to be prepared to leave their
home should high winds develop to-
day.
According to State Forester Cox,
only the lull in the wind yesterday
PREVENTED a repetition of the 1918 dis
aster when ass persons were killed.
Today there had been no casualties
reported. although several persons
were reported missing.

First Action Will Be Set
ting Up An Agency for
Distribution of Coal
and To Gather Facts
Relating To Its Industry
Speedy Action Is Prom
ised

Washington, Aug. 19-Plans for
carrying out President Hardings
recommendations to congress yester-
day concerning the coal situation
legislation to control the present situ-
alton brought about by the miners
strike and designed to forestall SINH
lar future difficulties-were under way
today Both senate and house repub-
lican leaders promised speedy action
and they were said to have the sup
port Of most Of the Democratic lead
ers.
Members OF the house interstate
commerce committee were requested
in kilograms by Rep. Mondell. Repub
lican floor leader. to return to Wash
ington at once. Action in the matter
will be confined for the present to
legislation to set up an agency for
the purpose of sale and distribute
coal in interstate commerce and for
creation of a commission to ascertain
facts in the industry.
The commission which would be de-
signed primarily to control prices to
ascertain tn efacts in the coal in
dustry. The agency proposition
which would be designed primarily to
control prices. it was indicated, may
require more time for consideration
than the fact finding commission. as
sonnet leaders were said to oppose the
recreation of any such body as the
wartime coal administration which
they declare was not a success.
Recommendation of Mr. Harding
in his speech to congress such as
Legislation to put teeth in the trans.
portation act and protection Of aliens
were regarded as less important and
likely to go over to another session.
