'
New York, Aug. 9.?New low figures
for the year were made in a
number of stocks (hiring the first
hour's trading on the stock exchange
today.
The more serious aspects of the
" Polish situation, together with a drop
1 of 7 cents in Sterling Exchange was
responsible for the renewed liquidation
and short selling which affected
all quarters of the list.
Shares which command a big speculative
foreing were the weakest including
the equipments, steels and
oils and shipments.
; Not only did Sterling Exchange
drop 7 cents since Saturday's closing
but rates on other countries dropped
10 to 35 points. After Sterling Exi
change had made a notable rally
i from last week's low figure of 8.55%,
the price of demand bills .today fell
to 3.60%.
Dealers attributed the weakness
; not only to unfavorable foreign news

pressing a large amount of grain and cotton
bills on the masket for which
' there was no demand except at mark;
ed concessions.

! THE COTTON SITUATION
i
( New York, Aug. 7.?The fluctuations
in future contract prices have
been wide and very erratic owing to
( the prevailing technical market conditions
and the gravity and uncermand
from that country can now be
i developments in Europe. With continued
ideal weather in the South for
cotton picking rapid progress is being
made in harvesting the early crop
and this is being followed by a gen'
eral downward revision of spot prices
in the leading Southern markets, especially
of high grades of which
; there is an abundance in the receipts
coming in from plantations.
' There is at the same time only a
> limited demand from consumers who
> are still pursuing a waiting policy in
. expectation of striking a lower buy,
ing basis later in the season when the
i crop moves in greater volume. The
r Government Bureau report giving the
condition to July 25, as 74.1, proved
' to be a little below the 10 year aver?
age 75.6, but still showed a marked
improvement over 70.1 last month and
67.1 last year.

> strict new buying in all textile lines
of goods and at the same time check
' any tendency to increase the produc'
tion of manufacturers as mill owners
generally are not disposed to stock
i up with ^oods or raw material at the
, present time. The deflation movement
is still making progress in all direc'
tions and is now reported as having
' spread to the large European cities.
Present credit conditions are decid1
edly against any movement to hold
cotton on borrowed money and the
outlook is for a liberal supply of both
j high and low grade cotton in the near
future. The low grades in the United
States were intended for shipment to
Germany, but owing to the unfavorable
European financial and political
developments only a limited deman
from that country can now be.
expected. Besides owing to increased
cost of production German spinners
are in no position to compete with
other countries in cotton goods at
, present.
The crop is still making satisfactory
progress in all the cotton States,
the principal complains being the
spread of weevil and apprehension of
damage from shedding following the
> recent rains in parts of the Atlantic
. States and in the Southwest. Altogether
the crop has made wonderful
' recovery and steady progress since
the last week in May and present
prospects are favorable for a large
yield. In some sections of the trade,
however, fears are entertained that
deterioration during the critical
month of August may yet take place.
r Any aaverse development however
from the present bright prospects for
the growing crop would change local
sentiment regarding the future course
of the market and encourage speculative
and trade buying. Nevertheless
' up to this time there have been no
complaints of a serious setback except
that some sections are having
too much rain. Most of the sharp
rallies of the week are due to the
oversold condition of the market, es'
pecially in the nearby months which
induced free covering.
A striking feature in the trading
i has been the tardy manner in which
the distant positions followed the up1
ward price movement of the nearer
months. This appears to be due to
the moderate amount of new speci
lative ventures on the buying side at
r present and the genral lack of a trade
" demand for future requirements, both
1 of which would naturally be attracted
' to the lowest price positions.
I In fact, most of the cotton market
factors and the condition of the man
ufactured goods trade appear to be
against any extended upward price
movement at the present time, although
crop developments will con*u_

David B. Traxler, candidate for
congress in the Fourth South Carolila

and endorsement from many

hat it is the only practical plan to
vipe out illiteracy in America.
Briefly stated the plan is this:
National aid for a thoroughly comirehensive

vhere every boy and girl would be

Mr. Traxler holds that Uncle Sam

during the late emergency
-and that being the daddy he must
ook carefully after the education and

"What father fails to look after his

EDUCATION PLAN \
eading Educators and \
of Nation. '
educate these boys and girls and- fit
them for civilian occupations and professions,
as well as to fit them for
war service.
"In the late war dozens of departments
were without heads and many i
companies were without officers, because
of the lack of educated men
and women for the task. We are in a
woeful state of unpreparedness not so
much from a military standpoint as
from a standpoint of educational fitness.
' # V fcS-*
"But the war has shook us loose '
from our old ideas. Men and women .
of today are not men and women of
yesterday. We are creatures of a new
era and we must so conduct our national
life, which permeates to every
nook and cranny of our fair land, and
on an entirely different plane.
"Such a school system as I advocate
is simple. It cannot be argued
that it can hot be successful because
of its broad nature. The marshalling
of forces for -war quickly accomplished
by America. The nation operated
successfully the railroads, the ex- ?i
press companies and the telegraph
wires. The government operates the -a
postoffice department, the greatest
and most intricate branch of the trdas-*
ury department. Operati6n ot a
school gysjem by the government in
co-operation of the.states is'a simple
matter. .It atould take away no .right
of. the state no more than any right
of th^ state is forfeited by the acceptance
of national road funds. We
were all glad enough to get Uncle
Sam to help us* build our roads. My
school plan is just as simple and entirely
analogous,
"Do you realize that this government
today is spending vast sums to
protect the hogs of the country? Do
you know that tha; branch of animal
industry working Sander the department
of agriculture is spending big
moqey to keep the hogs of the coun- ,
try in. good health?
"How much is the government
spending that will redound to the lasting
benefit of the human family; how
much to enlighten the people; how
much to free them from shittkles of
illiteracy and lift them up fo a higher
principle of American citizenship?
How much, I ask, and echo answers
not."?Advertisement.
