The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-19

THE farmers annual pay day has
 arrived. For during the months of
 September, October and November. he receives a larger percentage of his years income than during any other three months of the twelve. To be more exact, the presidential campaign sea son will occur while the farmer is re- ceiving about One-third of his years pay at relatively excellent prices
 But while pleasing prices, at the right time seasonaily, may be of par ticular import politically this autumn. they are of even greater moment to the business world. This is because they come to fOrtify the, buying power of agricultural communities at a time when business isn't travelling any too smoothly. .7
 To return to the farmers pay day the lines in the chart above show the seasonal trend of farm income. They are the result of investigations made by the Howard Moorhouse Agricul- tural Service. They present more than an intresting study for economists be- cause knowledge and apIication of these trends means dollars and cents to business men in every locality.
 For example, wnoiesalIng, retailing, credits and collections, and other busi- ness operations which are dependent upon purchases of dairy farmers are more stable than business activities in one-crop sections, such as the wheat and cotton belts, where crops are har- vested nearly all at one time and are moved quickly to markets.

EASIER MONEY
 ASSISTS STOCKS

5000 Shares Of United States Steel Change
 Hands
By. EDWARD '. CONDLoN

(By Leased Wire to Age-Hera1O
 NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-A glance at the averages of representative indus trial and railroad stocks does not give the true picture of dealings in the mar ket Thursday. The averages indicated slight declines after the great display of strength in the previous session, which practically nullified the declines of the last few days, but individual groups showed no disposition to halt in their upward sweep, so that closing prices were generously interspersed with substantial gains.
 The money market has long been the barometer of security prices. Thus the easing of time money rates Wednes- day and Thursday contributed largely to the general improvement which took place in the markets general position.
 Public Drawn In
 That the public Is quickly drawn into bull market was evidenced by the increase in the turnover Thursday, which neared the million share mark. though at times the market appeared to pause after sharp rallies as if to get It's second wind, with the tone dull rather than easier at such times.
 Nearly 50,O00 shares of United States Steel changed hands. Reports from steel centers indicate that the steel cor poration's subsidiaries are operating at slightly more than 60 per cent of ca pacity this week, compared with 6S per cent last week. Scrutiny of the incom- ing business so far this month reveals that the total does not quite equal shipments made, but it is pointed out that several large orders are pending which may be booked before the end of the month.
 Steel Runs Better
 Bethlehem Steel's plants are running somewhat better than 50 per cent of capacity against 45 per cent at the close of August and 80 per cent in mid summer. The trend of incoming busi- ness continues upward.
 Cotton prices were about standoff for the day. Reports of heavy rains in Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and North Caroline, with the precipitation in the Atlantics ranging from 8 to inches, had the effect of livening trad ing. TorrentiaI rains at this season may delay picking for several days and retard the movement of cotton, which is on the increase in various por- tions of the belt. However, it's pointed out that about, a week of fine weather is required in many sections of the north to prevent injury to the crop by frost.

The weather map showed general rains over the entire cotton re- sgion. A low pressure in the northwest is expected to bring more rain into that part of the belt. The belief is that rains now will lower the grades and will ten der to increase damage. Dry goods re- ports were not encouraging. New York said there markets were dull and prices easier. The Amoskeage operatives were reported to have accepted 10 per cent wage cut, but the unions were reported organizing for a strike.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1s.-There was
 much realizing this morning, which the ; market absorbed on scale down, values
 reacting subsequently as a result of the better spot advices and reports that boil continuance of unsettled weather inland, worms were doing much damage in
 northwest Texas and that weevils were increasing in the south Atlantic states due to rains. There was much rain in nearly all sections of the cotton re- zion overnight and indications are for continuance of showery weather inland, which would tend to lower the grade
 more and probably cause insects to be- come more numerous and active. Three additional midmonth private crop re- I, ports were issued today, condition rang
 ing from 57 to 586, and the indicated
 yield from 12,943,O00 to 13,290,000. The
 next government crop forecast will be
 issued September g at 10 a. m., New Or leans time, and will give condition of
 crop as of September 16, also ginnings
 to 18th instant. The government report, issued September 8, gave condition as
 of September l, 59.3, indicated crop, 12,-
 7S7, 900 bales. Bombay, India, cabled falling prices for cotton restricted the demand for cotton goods. Alexandria,
 Egypt, cabled Egyptian government de- cides to buy Egyptian cotton on the open market in order to support prices.
 Liverpool cabled undertone good on re- ports of picking retarded wet weather.
 Trade buying, better spot demand. Com pared with last season, exports from
 United States today, 12000 against B. 900; since Friday, 2O2,OO0 against 210,- 900; since August 1, 57S.000 compared with 1000. Weather conditions will likely continue to exert much influence on values. As yet climatic conditions
 inland remain generally unsettled with Itakings for the week, due tomorrow, will the probability of more rain. Spinner run against 174,000 bales last year and

of the franchise to anyone on account of
color, that is still upon the statute book
and is only partially kept. And it may be
that the Eighteenth Amendment, though
it can never be taken practically away
from the. Constitution, may yet be broken
by great minority of the people, and the
question will be, how strong that minor
strong it may even alter the amendment,
or it may reduce it to a somewhat iniper-
alive condition.
"Now I am saying not the thing I
would like to say, but the thing as I saw
it, and I took the opportunity of saying
to my American friends whenever it was
given to me, that they should not put
their trust in the law, in the law alone
They won their initial victories through
the power of persuasion, by the logic of
argument, by the presentation of facts,
by the appeal to the conscience and the
understanding of men, and they must
keep on with that method. They have
made a great and noble experiment; they
have behind them established facts which
support the action they have taken, and |
trust for my part that they will continue
that great educational movement which
was SO largely successful before the law
came into operation. So far as England
is concerned, it would not be my expecta-
ton that there might come about at any
rate within measurable time, such sud-
den enactment of law as has taken place
i'll America. We must go on with the
same methods as were SO successful in
their case in the early days, the methods
of fair argument, Of clear demonstration,
SO that the abuses which are only too APP
parent in our midst may be necessarily
and increasingly minimized by the grow
ing enthusiasm of the public mind"
