Report Causes Cotton To Drop'' New Orleans, Oct. 8.—The govern ment crop report giving the indicated yield as 14,915,000 bales, a moderate increase over a month ago, was some what larger than traders expected. As a result when trading was resumed after the usual recess, prices opened 30 poiiits down on October, 35 points dow’n on December, and 29 to 31 points down on later months. This was con sidered only a moderate decline but the market liad well liuidated in ad vance of the bureau report. Trading was very active following the resump tion of business.

'A Fine old SWP gives the best paint results at lowest cost is the world's greatest paint bargain. Come in and we will prove this in the most convincing way — with a complete estimate on the amount of SWP needed to paint your entire house. It costs less to paint your house with SW'P because fewer gallons are needed. This fine paint has such a wonderful body that each gallon thoroughly covers many more square feet of surface. In addition to what you save on first cost, think of how much you save on repainting. SWP lasts five years, on the average—over twice as long as cheaper paint would. SW’P with its positive protection—long durability and clean, rich colors that retain their beauty to the very last —gives you the best possible paint job. Now is the time to paint.
