again the talk of a bigger yield. Some people again believe in 13,0o0. 900 bales. The question what the crop Is likely to be is again thrown in the air, but we feel that in face of the government de- tailed statement they overestinated the condition in the Atlantic states. It may, however, take time before the market accepts this point of view. Liverpool futures are due tomorrow; December, 1s.62d; January, 1s.s5d.--Hubbard Bros. & Co.

ernment forecast For larger crop than generally expected, and heavier ginnings than generally expected, occasioned sharp declines in the market today. Gov ernment report: Condition, Bs.b against 4s.5; yield per ace, pounds, 14s against 1s77; crop forecast, bales. 12.4s9.OoO against 11,o15.oO0; ginned, 4,525,52o against s,232,0o0. The trade was expect ing about 12.4Oe.0O0 as to, the indicated crop and was looking for ginnlngs around 100000, since both were larger than generally expected, general liqut- dalton followed, causing the market to decline sharply. After all is said and done. the fact remains that the indi- cated crop Ia nearly 100000 bales small less than one month ago and nearly 500,000 smaller than the peak estimate of August g when a production off12,- HB6 900 bales was forecast. Late gin- nings at so early in the season are no criterion as to the ultimate size of the crop. Tn 1922, ginnings to October l were 100000 bales, but final ginnings amounted to only 9,72s,O00. There is said to be much late cotton this year subject to damage by frost. If damag- ing frosts make their appearance at an average, much less early date, the pres ent prospective yield may be made small, perhaps much smaller. On the other hand, if damaging frosts are late in ccming, the present indicated yield may be sustained, perhaps made some what larger. For'th immediate future there are prospects of rain followed by colder for the southwest, probably frost tonight in extreme northwest Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle. Since 1t will likely be colder tomorrow than it will be tonight, may have q frost scare to- morrow or Friday. Under the circum- stances favor buying on this important decline.-H. < B. Beer to J. F.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. s.-The gov ernment estimate of the probable crop at 12,499, 900 bales of lint cotton came as a surprise to many of the trade who were looking for an indicated yield of between 12,000.000 and 12,300,000 bales between 100000 and 12,800,000 bales. Prices dropped from near the 26c level to just above the 24c level. The gin- nings report showing 4,525,520 bales ginned to Oct probably had a great in- fluence on prices as the crop report. The present figure compares with 2,662,- 636 bales to September 16, 1924, and with 3,231, ,565 bales to September 26, 1925. While the date of comparison in 1923 was five days earlier than the date of the report this year, the very great in- crease in ginnings shown this season has convinced many of the trade that considerably larger amount is to be ginned in 1924 than last year. This widely accepted report that a crop around 12,5O0 900 .baIes of lint cotton guarantees an entirely adequate supply of cotton for tho coming year and all ideas of famine prices as in 1923 must be eliminated. Despite the very pre- cipitous drop in prices Wednesday we still believe the level stll1 too high for the time being. With this seemingly adequate yield of cotton this season and trade improvement somewhat disap- pointing, particularly in the cotton divisions we doubt very seriously of spinners will be anxious to buy the staple in quantities at these prices. Politics is likely to be an unBettling fac- tor in the market in the next month and to discourage trade expansion. We continue to advise sales, especially on upturns.-Levy < Aronson to s. R. Stewart.

Have all these cheerful dividend an- |nouncements stimulated demand for Corporations shares? Apparently, yes, Our largest railroad, the Pennsylvania, states that on August 1 the number of its stockholders reached a new high fig lure, 145, ,99S, an increase of over five since August last year. The leverage holding of this roads stock lis 69.40a shares. Incidentally, women own one-third of the roads total stocks. Its employees now own 5s,52S shares. 
 The American Telephone, and Tele- |graph company has attracted an inc |crease of 6,2S4 new shares every month lthis year. It now has. 325,00O stock holders exclusive of more than 100000 Ienployes now subscribing for shares on |the instaliment plan. No other corpo- |ration can match this total.
 Ito it's stockholders. The latest avail IabIe figures give 71,3S2 stockholders, Ian increase during the quarter of 1873. United States Steel corporation, on |the other hand, has fewer common on October than on July b, the decrease having been from 99 ,189 Ito 96,517. In k916 the total was only 10000. while iA 1906 it was less than l15.O0O. The interstate commerce commission reports that at the end of last year the railroads were owned bY s07,524 stock holders.

a NAME?
Let All Decide
(EDTToRIAL)

THE STAR doesn't like to see all this squabbling
i between Seattle and Tacoma over the name of
the mountain.
1t doesn't believe that it is conducive to the up
building of the Northwest, in which all pr
mary Interested
The Star believes that Seattle and Tacoma, facing
the biggest tourist in history should be pull
ing together right for bigger and better Puget
Sound country, rather than biting at another's
heels over the question of suitable name for only
one of a whole Northwest of scenic wonders
The mountain belongs to Uncle Sam. The park is
the nations playground. 1t is not Seattles 1t is not
Tacomas.
If there is to be any change in the name recon-
mended to Uncle Sam, every man and woman in the
state should have equal chance to have his say
to what that name should be. All equally inter-
ested.
This, then, is what The Star suggests:
Put the question of what will call the mountain
to the voters at the state election in the fall Initiate
it, i'm the form of memorial to congress, and give
every Washngtonan chance TO express himself to
determine for all time the real will of all the people,
Prosecutor Douglas, in opinion Friday, said that
the procedure would be to initiate the measure with
petition that would require $4,000 signatures or
10 per cent Of the vote cast for in the last
election and then to lay the matter of placing the
memorial the state ballot before the secretary of
state
The Star believes this would be an emnently fair
way Of settling the controversy. 1t suggests that
those primarily interested in both cities in the
change get busy and circulate the petitions.
Let the people themselves decide.
And then let bygones be bygones, forget our differ
ences and pull together to make the Charmed Land
real country Of peace and prosperity.
