Hot Weather Cuts

mention, however, of buying Of

offset to some extent, the

w. CIV -
Pressure Put on Farm Board
to Halt Proposed Sales in
Germany and Other Places

The. Federal Farm Board, hav-
ing rejected all far-reaching pro-
posals to relieve the distressed
cotton farmer; today was faced
with demands that it stay out Of
the foreign sales market.
Increasing pressure is being
brought upon the board from
many sources, 1t was learned, to
halt all negotiations looking to
the sale Of cotton in Germany and
other foreign countries.
Remedy Is Sought
The board thus finds itself in
the peculiar position Of being ask
ed to take no steps that would
further disturb the cotton sirua-
ton instead of taking affirmative
action to remedy it.
Meantime. representatives of
Southern States in Congress are
considering measures to be pre-
sented in December designed to
remove the surplus in the hands
Of the farm board as well as in
the hands of farmers.
Corporations to Wait
Plans being developed by the
Administration, at first thought to
be part of a scheme to reduce the
farm boards huge cotton sup
plies trough foreign sales, now
are understood to deal only with
this years crop. ..a
Formation of cotton export cor
porations by private bankers is
said to depend upon the action Of
the board with reference to for
eign sales.

BRITISH BONDS

Of. SELLING
Cabinet Statement on Election
May Check Market; $50
Million Drop in Few Days

LONDON, Sept. 10 QN.S0.-
Announcement by the national
coalition government Of its stand
in regard to the coming general
elections will be made shortly to
clear UP the uncertainty held
chiefly responsible for weakness
in the foreign exchanges during
the past week. it was understood
today.
Securities On Skids
Lack Of definite information
rs to the governments probable
course was believed to be the
chief factor behind the heavy
selling Of the last few days.
British funds fell 2 to 3 points,
foreign exchanges took an un-
favorable trend and tenders had
to be revised for treasury olllS
adversely for the government.
The violent selling wave con-
tinued at the opening of today's
session, British government securi-
ties dropping precipitously. The
war loan declined 23s points
to 961a. Total depreciation Of
government securities during the
last few days was estimated at
$50, 100000.
Sterling Rate Pegged
Flow Of gold from the Bank
of England to the Continent
caused considerable anxiety. The
dollar sterling rate was main
tanned at a pegged figure at
$4.85 1915, but was subjected to
heavy pressure in the late stages
Of yesterdays trading.

z Counties Would Benefit

BALTIMORE, Sept. 28.-Al-
though the State of Maryland is
In better financial shape than
most States, officials are said
to be looking ahead to provide
additional sources of income to
meet the constantly increasing
cost Of government without levy
ing further taxes upon real prop
erty.
Serious consideration is be-
heved being given a proposal to
place an additional two cents per
gallon tax on gasoline.
According to official statistics
there were purchased in Mary
land in 1880 slightly more than
182,348,000 gallons of gasoline,
which yielded a revenue of S.
991,188. A six-cent tax, based
upon the 1880 figures, would
bring in an additional $3.646, $50.
Montgomery, Prince Georges,
Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Fred
er1ck and Allegheny counties
would be the principal bene-
flctaries Of an increased tax as
their populations are the largest.
