BETTER WEATHER
 HELPS TO SEND COTTON LOWER

NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-Throughout the day the cotton market seemed to be dominated by improved weather conditions. and under considerable selling pressure, part of which rep resented hedging operations, de- clined steadily with the close easy and 20 to 39 points net lower.
 Not only was fair weather predict ed for a good part of the southwest, but the tropical storm which has caused a good deal of apprehension among traders during the past few days, appeared to have lost it's force and was no longer 3 menace to the crop in South Atlantic states. Un- der these circumstances holders felt justified in reducing commitments for over the weekend, especially as an important government report will be issued next Tuesday. At the open ing of the market, which was gen orally 1 to Il points higher, trade in- terests were moderate buyers, while New Orleans and commission houses were the chief sellers. Cables were better than due and there was some further buying for continental trade account, the latter, perhaps, repre- senting a larger feature in the mar ket than has been generally realized. No improvement was noted in the goods market at the end of the week,
  Fall River were fairly large at 150,- 900 pieces for the week. Improved conditions throL ghout the country were noted in weekend trade re- views and no particular feature de- veloped in the foreign political news to affect sentiment either way. The average of private condition reports up to the end of the week was 5O.2, compared with SGT at the end of Au- gust, the average indicating crop Of 10,S20,O00 against 11,06o,000 month ago.
 A little widening of the october premium over December during the forenoon indicated that the situa- tion as to tenderable supplies here is not being entirely ignored. It was said that an urgent demand for spot cotton in both the New Bedford and Fall River markets prevailed, and that the small stocks of cotton in New Bedford warehouses are being rapidly used up. At the lowest levef of the day, which was also the close December contracts touched 2SSoc and January 27.75c.

the world, all the natural resources of the world. animal, vegetable or mineral. belong to all the people of the world. and that any designation. reservation, mandate or monopoliza- ton of this or that region is en- tirely a temporary arrangement for the universal good. The British Empire" in respect to this class of possession is therefore in the posi- ton of trustee for an unborn but inevitable heir. Any federation of peoples or League of Nations CT what-not that really undertakes the organization of a world peace must, as a necessary function, inherit all the overseas and alien possessions that are not yet capable of an in- telligent participation in world gov ernment, whether they are now "owned" by Great Britain or any other state in the world.
 Tn any world federation that may arise in the course of the next cen tury or so, the English speaking communities which already number over two hundred million people must necessarily play a leading part. How far it will be the leading part depends very much upon the educa- tional and general creative energy of these communities during the years immediately before us and upon their power of casting aside crippling prejudices and outworn ideas. It needs no impossible effort to mako the English language even now the lingua franca of India and China. and the creative imagination em- bodied in English literature a fertil- izing power throughout the earth.
 If as consistent republican I find little joy in being subject of a king em peror, and if I find much of our British imperialism repulsively base, narrow, short-si ghted and sui hat ta raf estimate than underestimate the share that our English language and civilization and peoples may play In the future of mankind.

DECLINE IN FARM NOTED
 FUR PAST MONTH
Seasonal QuiCkening Of Trade And Rise In Cotton Prices
 Are Also Reported

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 2s.-The past month has brought decline in agri- cultural prospects with a conse- auent rise in the price of cotton and e seasonal quickening in wholesale trade, but aside from this there has been no material change in funda- mental conditions in the sixth fed eral reserve district. according to the monthly business review made pub lie by the federal reserve bank of Atlanta. The sixth district embraces the states of Georgia, Florida, Ten nessee. Alabama, Louisiana and Mis- sissippi.
 Statistics reported to the review show that receipts, shipments and stocks of cotton during August at important cotton markets in the dis trict were all much smaller during the same month last year, while the review quotes figures from the cen- sus bure6 to the effect that 39,54O bales were ginned in he district prior to September 1, compared with 277,- PIP bales at the same time last year.
 Retail trade during August was about on the same level as during July, the review said, showing up only slightly less in total volume for the district. August Is usually quiet month in retail trade, the re- view observed. Wholesale trade, however, has begun to show the eff feet of seasonal buying and all but one of the wholesale lines reporting to the review show increased blsi- ness in August over July. Whole salers in all lines report that their retail customers are buying eau tiously and are placing orders fre- quently for small amounts and that no considerable amount of forward buying is being done. Collections are reported to be fair. Many of the re- ports in various lines state that prospects are fairly good for fall and winter business.

LATAVIA HOPES UNITED STA
 WILL SHARE IN COMMERCE
Frank C. Carpenter Finds Leaders Of Buffer Russian Re
 public All Admirers Of America And Hopeful That Re
 ations Of Two Nations Will Become Closer And Closer
BY FRANK e. CARPENTER

R1GAs 1SaLVlaI sept. 29.-lt Is Inter esting to talk with men who are making nation. Take this Republic of Latvia. I have already described 1t as three times the size of Massachusetts, with a population of between one and two million peo- pie. Formerly a part of Russia, it Is now one of the buffer states be- tween that great political entity and the countries of western Europe, and it Is like to have most important place for 8 generation or so in the future. Closely allied to Finland, Esthonia, Lithuania, and Poland. it is a part of this world of the Baltic Republics, which has umped into being and which Is carving out it's destiny in the development of the new Europe. It is like talking with tho founders of our country within a year or so after we declared our in dependence of England, when Wash ington, Hamilton. Jefferson, Benja- min Franklin. and men of that sorS were trying to build a firm founda- ton for our republic.
 There are men of the same sort here in Latvia, and I may say they have about the same job. 1 give you today interviews with two of them. One is Karlis Ulmanis who, like Thomas Jefferson, aided in writing the constitution of the new nation, A. the premier. who is practically the head of the government of this in- fant republic. Both men are young, and both are live. active forces who will have much to do in the political problems of the present and future.
 o o o
 A Talk With The Premier.
 It was in his offices at tho Castle. looking out on the wide Dvina river, that had my chat with pr. Meiero- vics. I had made my way past the helmeted guard at the gate, crossed court and climbed the stairs, Eo- ing by soldier after soldier, until I came to the uniformed captain who Is adjutant to the IAtvia Premier He led me into a room forty feet square. furnished somewhat like one of the reception rooms of our state department. and heated by a porce- lain stove, reaching from the floor to the ceiling. pr. Meierovics shook hands with me as we were intro duced. and we sat side by side on 8 sofa as we talked. I was surprised at the youth of the premier. He is, judge. of about the same age as as Thomas Jefferson was when he was secretary of state. and like Jefferson ne was brought up on a farm. His mother died few days after he was born, and his father when he was only four years of age. He was edu- cated In the Riga Polytechnic school and the University of Moscow, after which he had some diplomatic ex- perfence under the Czar.
