DOWNWARD TREND
111 COTTON MART
K *
LOW GROUND REACHED AT TWO
BCLOW HIGH; RALLY AT
, INTERVALS.
New Orleans. —The cotton market
showed almost steady downward trend,
the past week owing to liquidation off
the state long interest accumulated on
the rally which suceceded the first
aharp slump following the last bureau
report.
Prices have now declined to levels
actually below the figures reached on
the day the government report was is
sued and reached new low ground for
the present downward movement at
something more than two cents a
pound below the high points reached
late last month.
There have been brief periods when
the market rallied due to rather good
trade buying but this did not do more
than cause a temporary halt, as the
decline was resumed during the "Hos
ing days of the week and Saturday's
close at 22,13 for December was the
lowest figure reached on the present
decline which is likely to be added to
before the next government report due
October 8 is issued.
The main reasons for the decline
have been a heavy movement of the
crop to market and growing belief in a
larger ultimate yield than the approxi
mately 14,000,000 bales indicated In
the last government report. Many pri
vate reports so far Issued represent
ing conditions on around October 1
estimated the yield In the neighbor
hood of 14,300,000 bales and some of
them predict a crop as high as 14,500,-
000 bales. These coupled with the big
movement In market and indications
that total glnnings to October 1, will
reach record proportions, some pre
dicting as much as 7,000.000 bales have
created an impression among traders
that the next government report will
estimate the crop fully four hundred
thousand bales above the last report.
About the only constructive statistl
« cal development during the week was
the heavy total of exports reaching
- ' 417,486 bales.

PARLEY ENOS WITHOUT ACTION
SUBBTANCE 18 FRANCE PAY 40
MILLIONS A YEAR FOR FIVE
YEARS.
Washington.—The frail formula of a
tentative arrangement, which must be
ratified by the French government, was
thrust Into the breach to prevent com
plete collapse of the Franco-American
debt funding negotiations.
Thus, one week after Finance Min
ister Calllaux and his associates had
laid down the first French proposal for
funding their government's four billion
dollar war debt, they departed for
Paris.-'-taking with them a document
Intended only to fill the gay sufficient
ly to assure continuity of negotiations
—even at long range.
The arrangement, proposed by the
combined debt commission as a final
move to overcome what appeared to
be Insurmountable difficulties, would
have France pay an annuity of $40,-
000,000 a year for five years and would
enable the two governments to con
tinue consideration of a program of
final settlement to succeed the pro
posed temporary pact at Its expira
tion. Further, it concedes that the an
nuity thus paid shall be in lieu of all
Interest on the debt during the time
it shall run.—or an interest charge of:
approximately one per cent a year, j
M. C&llaux gave American commis
sioners the hope that he beieved the '
French governemnt would accept the
agreement. He declined to sign It as
a plenipotentiary Inasmuch as he had
been Intrusted by bis government, he j
said, to sign only a final settlementj
and be questioned his own right to act
on an arragement of a provisional i
character.
"Consequently, beln gas desirous as
you are not to interrupt the negotia
tions which can not fail to reach an
agreement," M. Calllaux's last state
ment to the Americans said, "the min
ister of finance can do no more than
submit to his colleagues of the French
cabinet the propositions which you
have made, and he will do his utmost
to give you an answer as soon as
possible.**
It was after making that statement
that Mr. Calllaux and his associates
marched in single file from the meet
ing and the eftd of the conversations
between the two commissions had*
come.
Three Dead In Southern Ry. Wreck.
Rutherfordton. —One of the worst
railroad wrecks in the history of
Rutherford county occurred on the

400 MILLIONS IN
RHUMNE
THREE GRtAT .COMPANIES AN
NOUNCE COMPLETION OF
MERGER.
New York.—Completion of plans for
a $400,000,000 baking merger involv
ing the General Ward and Continental
Baking companies which together
operate 157 plans in all sections of the
United States, was announced.
The General Baking corporation,
which has been incorporated in Mary
land to absorb the three concerns, will
be the largest baker of bread in the
world, with an estimated tota'
volume of $200,000,000 annually. The
capital structure of the new corpora
tion will consist of 10,000,000 shares
of no par value stock, divided into
equal portions of class "A" and class
:"B" common. Paul H. Helms, former
secretary and treasurer of the Ward
Baking corporation has been elected
president.
The Continental Baking corporation,
with assets of about $200,000,000 is
the largest unit in the proposed con
! solidation. The assets of the other
j two companies, both of which are con
j trolled by the Ward interests, are
about $100,000,000 each?
William B. Vfard. head of the Ward
Baking corporation, is cerdited w*ith
taking the lead in the formation of the
1 huge merger. The action to bring the
j Continental system into the combine
' quickly followed the announcment last
week that he had jlosed negotiations
for the purchase of the General Bak
ing corporation's common stock, the
j majority of these stockholders accept
ing Ward's offer of $225 a share for
; their holdings.
Spectacular advances in the price
of the baking company shares took
place last week in anticipation of the
' merger announcement. General Bak
i ing common soared more than 30
points to around 225, the price at
wihch it .will enter the consolidation
and both the Ward "A" and "B" issues
rose to record high levels. Trading on
the New York stock exchange also was
enlivened by spurts in Fleischmann,
Cushman and securities ,pf other com
panies which it is believed may be
drawn into the combine later. Con
tinental shares, which are listed on
the curb market ,also were active and
strong.
Credit Position Bound.
New York.—The current expansion
of autumn business was supplemented
by the formal recognition of the coun
try's sound credit position when the
directors of the New York federal re
serve bank voted to retain the present
discount rate of 3 per cent
Stiffening money rates and fears
that speculation in certain sections of
the stock market was getting out of
bounds, had led Wall street to pre
pare for an increase in the local bank
rate. Not until the Bank of England
had announced a rediscount in its rate
to 4 per cent was this belief abandon
ed. And while a desire to co-operate
with London unqeustionably influenc
ed the New York bank in leaving its
rste unchsnged, the determining fac
tor appeared to be the satisfsction of
| the reserve authorities with present
| credit conditions, despite the growing
demand for funds from trade chan
nels.
Indications that there has been no
great speculative increase In borrow
ing for ordinary business purposes sre
seeen in the fact that commercial loan
figures of the federal reserve system's
member bsnks for the past year show
an increase of only about $275,000,000
in this class of borrowing, which Is
'considered a normal expansion. On
| the other hand, member banks' loans j
' on stocks increased $768,000,000 in the
ssme period, a development which is j
; not viewed with favor in conservative
; banking quarters.

Controversy Flares Up.
New York. —The controversy over
Shapurji Saklatvala, communist mem
ber of the British commons, whom the
state department barred from this
counter, interrupted proceedings of
the inter-parliamentary union's coun
cil and threatened to present itself
again when the Washington sessions
open,, although the council did every
thing within its power to end the in
cident over the Anglo-Indian radical.
Acting on a protest from Saklatavla
against what he called the "extraordi
nary step" by the United States gov
ernment in revoking his passport visa,
the council adopted resolutions declar
ing "it recognizes that the American
government has a right to enforce its
own laws and therefore can not dis
cuss the merits or demerits of the
case." A copy of the resolution was
sent to Saklatvala.
Discussion of the Saklatvala ques
tion was carried over until night from
a long morning executive session so
that an enlarged executive committee
could prepare the resolution.
With the British delegation of 49
almost unanimously backing Secretary
of State Kellogg's action in revoking
Saklatvala's American visa, officials
of the Union expressed the hope that
nothing more would be heard of the
matter.

CREW PERISHED
mm SANK
LAST TWO COMPARTMENTB IN
SHIP FOUND FULL OF WATER;
THEY NEVER HAD CHANCE.
U. S. Submarine Base, New London,
Conn.—The lives of the men who went
down with the submarine S-51 were
suffed out almost immediately after
she was "rammed and sund by the
steamer City of Rome off Block la
land a week ago.
The death toll stands as 33.
This was established when divers
found that the last two compartments
in which it had been hoped there
might have been air—the motor and
torpedo rooms—were filled with
water.
None of the crew who went down
had a chAnce for his life. The sub
marine sank so quickly that they were
unable to shut the watertight doors
connecting the compartments and
thus give themselves a fighting chance
of being brought to the surface with
their ship. The story of their ef
forts to save themselves never will
be told."
All that remains now for those
who have toiled at the task of res
cue is to recover and identify the bod
ies, after which the submarine will be
turned over to wreckers for salvage.
Of the 36 meri who were aboard the
S-51 when she was rammed, three
were picked up alive.
Work Train Trapped in Tunnel.
Richmond, Va.—Engineer Tom Ma
son is believed to have been killed and
six negro workmen are missing as the
result of the cave-in of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad tunnel at Church
Hill, which tripped upwards of two
score men engaged in reinforcing its
walls.
Most of the workmen, however, dug
themselves out of the fallen earth and
craled to safety, and police officials
decared that little hope is held out for
any remaining in the tunnel.
Gasses drove the rescue workers
from the tunnel shortly after nightfall
and it was ndt belived that any who
may now be entombed in the passage
way, even though they may have
jumped beneath flat cars, can survive
the poisonous fumes.
The fact that those who escaped
were hurried to homes or hospitals
prevented officials from making any
accurate check of the men who were
in the tunnl when the slide came.

tages had been taken into serious con
sideration. It is understood that the
