THE DAY OF CHEAP LAND

The cheapest land in America. not in
productivity but in price, is in the state
of Texas. This is particularly true OF
South Texas. Eventually it is going
to be much higher and the day is not
lar off.
With agriculture all over the country
in state OF slump, the land market
just now is bit quiet but the lull is
temporary. Within the space of few
years, the undeveloped lands OF South
Texas seem destined to double in value
while the high-priced lands in such
states as Iowa. Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota in all probability will undergo
a decline.
There are so many elements entering
into valuation OF lands that a forecast OF
this nature must be made with excep-
tons for special parcels of land where
conditions are unusual. But in the bulk,
all of the lands of South Texas and
especially those vast undeveloped
stretches surrounding San Antonio pre-
sent wonderful opportunity as an in
vestment not generally realized by most
of us.
Few people seem to understand that
land values in the rich agricultural dis
tricts underwent initiation along with
most other values. They did not 90
so high but when they broke, they went
to smash and mostly. they carried down
with them TO financial disaster. the farm
ers who bought at the top prices.
That is one of the reasons for the
distressing situation in the wheat belt
a very large percentage OF that wheat
was produced this year on lands bought
on an acreage valuation predicatcd on
war values. Lands capable of paying
a reasonable rate OF interest on $40 an
acre were inflated TO $10O- an acre. Oh
course they couldn't produce interest
anG living for the farmer, on any such
valuation. Hence they have got tc

an acre again but they will go to sec

most cases. the financial fortunes of the
farmer. Most of those farmers who
bought on the inflated basis are carry.
ing mortgages for just about what the
land is actually going to be worth when
the initiation is eliminated. In other
words, although they paid considerable
hard cash, they have no equities. They
are broke.
South Texas lands were but slightly
inflated. Lands can be bought today
Tor less money than ever. This oDDlie;

Cotton Goods Prices Show Rapid Increase

NEW YORK, Nov. 10,-Cotton goods prices in the primary markets have risen rapidly during the past week following the great rise in raw cotton. Percales were advanced 2 cents a yard, some of the bleached and dyed cottons from F to IF cents yard; many of the brown cottons i5 to a4 c yard, some of the colored cottons from F to 11ac a yard, and one line of southern staple gingham 1ac yard. Buyers are still hesitating about making normal commitments while many of the mills are unwill- ing to sell late contracts at current prices. Many lines were withdrawn temporarily when cotton advanced on Wednesday to basis of 341ac a pound for spots. Curtailment of pro- duction has reached 50 per cent of capacity in mills at Fall River and in some other centers in New Eng land. Before the last advance be- gan there were offerings made of blue denirns for deliveries into the first three months of next year and sales were progressing fast when cotton jumped. The offerings were withdrawn to await higher price revision or a lower cotton market. The retailers throughout the coun- try have been buying the higher priced fine wash fabrics for advance spring delivery, but have not en- gagged normal quantities of the staple and semi-staples in yarn dyed and printed goods.

PRICES DROP ON SELLING INCREASE

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O.-Owing large ly to a drop in foreign exchange with sterling at the lowest point this year, holders or wheat and corn did much selling today, and prices took a decided downturn. Wheat closed heavy 1 B to tAc net lower, Decem- ber $1.03@1.031s and May, $1.0SA e 3s to S1.0S3s. Corn lost 1c to 5se and oats 1s to A to 1ac. In pro- visions, the outcome ranged from 17c decline to 12c advance.
 Wheat finished at virtually the bottom figures of the day, a good deal below any recent level. Own CTS of December contrcats especially were disturbed over the weakness of exchange and in regard to the un- promising aspect of European af- fairs, the immediate economic out look in particular. Efforts. which December holders made to lquidate led quickly to a disclosure that the pit was honeycombed with orders to stop losses on declines. It was likewise soon apparent that the mar ket was without support except such aS came from previous sellers, who were in a position, to collect profits.
 Comparative strength of wheat prices in Winnipeg was at one stage somewhat helpful in steadying the market here. Word, however, that Winnipeg firmness was due to a de- cline in lake vessel rates tended subsequently, to accelerate selling here. The view was taken that low CT charges for lake shipments from Canada would be likely to facilitate enlarged imports of Canadian wheat into the United States. duty paid. An other depressing influence at the last was the prospect that a further increase of the domestic visible sup ply would be announced on Monday.
 Predictions of larger receipts of corn here next week had consider able to do with weakening the value of corn and oats.

The main stimulating influence was the cheerful tone of Eng fish trade accounts, but considerable buy ing in the early session appeared to result from the announcement of the failure of a large spot house with offices here and in Mississippi, 1t being considered that the troubles of the concern were due to in ability to fill spot commitments 1t had made. Highest prices came in the second half of the session, when the list was 3S to 45 points up, with December al 32.1oc The close was 22 to 2S points net higher on the day, with the last transaction in December at 32.47c.
 Not only was Liverpool better than due but it sent over many messages which told of a better demand for cloth.

Toward the end of the day the market was affected unfavorably by cablegrams from Paris received here over private wires. to the effect that tension between France and Germany was increasing. This caused moderate recessions from the highest.

Wheat Experiences Material Price Cuts

CHICAGO. Nov 1o.--Selling out on the part of wheat owners who had ceased to expect immediate help from the government led to a material set back in the value of wheat this week Compared with a week ago. wheat this morning was 7-S to 1 7-Sc down whereas corn was 5-Sc to 3ihc m oats showing 3-S to 5-S@3-4c gain. and provisions at 17c to COG ad- vance.
 Owing to scantiness-of receipts and to disappointing husking returns. bulls in corn were able to hoist quo- tations until government report in- dicated that the seasons report was larger than had seemed probable The reaction which ensued, though. failed to offset much of the prior gains. Oats fluctuated with corn.
 Scarcity of lard for immediate shipment gave a lift to all provisions
