ports are somewhat disappointing.
yet the good prices promised should
make the South prosperous during
the next twelve months. Given the
right kind of weather for the ball
ance of the season and current
prices, the South will add greatly to
its wealth and purchasing power.
The northwest, however, is handi-
capped by the European farmers
who are raising more grain every
year, which naturally reduces our
exports of cereals. Wheat prices
have shown no material change re-
Gently, but corn prices are s%oftening,
although this softening Is only nat
ural as the new corn crop approach
esr maturity.
Iron, steel, petroleum, copper,
wool, and certain other basic COM
modities are declining in price, but
this is not an unhealthy sign. The
great difference in the level of farm
products and manufactured goods
must be eliminated sooner or later.
The price of agricultural products
must come up and that of manufac-
tured goods must come down. There
fore, the present readjustment move
ment is healthy and good for all of
us in the long rum. This readjust-
ment will be accomplished by a re-
duction in the prices of raw mate
rails, an increase in the efficiency of
labor, and a reduction in overhead

Business REIMBURSEMENT
Progressing, b

WELLESLEY HI Is, Mass, Aug,
31:-Roger w. Babson today gives
his monthly review of general bust
ness conditions. Mr.. Babson Is not
bullish on the immediate outlook
believing rathea that we have begun
in earnest to complete the period of
readjustment which was started in
1919. He insists, however, that this
completion will clear the decks for
real prosperity in the future. His
statement is as follows:
Business is beginning to feel the
shock of President Harding's death
which so stunned the American peo-
pie. Although there is consolation
III the fact hat his successor, Calvin
Coolidge, has had great administra-
tive experience, yet a shifting from
one president to another must break
many connections and change many
plans. The first people to feel the
results of this change are the retail
ers. Retail sales fell off Immediately
following President Harding's death
and have not yet resumed. Hence,
wholesale buying is on only a mod
crate scale. Buyers are not inclined
to purchase beyond their immediate
needs. The people are also awaiting
the size of crops and the prices of
agricultural products.
THE best Immediate business OPP
~portunities are believed to be in the
South. Although current cotton re-

and selling expenses.
THE unemployment which II
threatening certain industries, on &C
count of foreign competition, should
make labor more reasonable. On the
other hand, indications are that the
wage n in those monopolies
such as transportation, coal, etc., are
still greatly tempted to make trou-
BILE. Certain of the railroad unions
are about to make drastic demands
for wage increases, restoring wages
to what they were at the peak fol-
lowing the var and prior to the cut
July 1, 1921. Considering that the
dollar of 1913 is now worth about 81
cents compared with only 40 cents
in May 1920 and only about so cents
in the spring of 1921, these demands
on the part of labor for a restora-
ton of war time wages seem very
unjust.
Bank ~clearings have definitely
turned the corner and are declining;
mail order sales may have again
apparently reached a maximum; the
demand for iron and steel is slack
ening. Crude oil is piling UP in
Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Kansas
and Texas. Peoplc. scramble to buy
on advancing markets, but refuse to
buy on declining markets. AS the
result, the decline in prices may now
go as much below normal as the
previous advance went above nor
NAL. This is unfortunate; but being
in accordance with the Law of Ac-
ton and Reaction, it is inevitable.
This further explains the current
decreasa in retail buving and the
consequent falling off in the orders
of manufacturers and jobbers. When
we are in a bear market prices al

200 COTTON men
GATHER TO FORM
new ASSOCIATION
Hope to Help Growing
and Marketing
Conditions

A gathering of over two hundred
cotton men from various sections
Of the territory extending from
Phoenix, Arizona, to Los Angeles
met today in Calexico at the Cham
ber of Commerce rooms. This
meeting was called for the purpose
of forming cotton association
among growers of Arizona and
Southern California, with the idea
of improving growing and market
ing conditions. ...,.
Ii is also the aim to make Los
Angeles the cotton capital of the
southwest so that it will have the
same relative position to his dis
trict as New Orleans has to the
south. This will afford central
place for the cotton buyers to
gather and also point where all
the growers in this section can sam
pie their crop and maintain sell
ing organization.
II. II. Clark, general manager of
the Colorado River Land Company,
who operates the largest cotton
plantation tn the United States,
just south Of the border, made the
statement that he would be glad
10 see such an association formed,
provided it would be of benefit to
the grower.
Among prominent Los Angeles
men who were at the meeting were
J. Dabney Day, newly elected pre-
sident of the Citizens National
Bank and Jack Thompson, first
vice president of the First Nation
al Bank of Los Angeles. Both of
the& men will be guests Of Mr..
Clark during their stay in the val
