CATTLE TRADE STEADY
KANSAS CITY. Aug. 19. (fl>) —
Cattle supplies totaled 46,500 today.
Better native fed steers and yearl-
ings were on a steady'to strong bas-
is, while lower grades were steady to
25 lower. A new liigh for the sea-
f son was established at Kansas City
when gc^d to choice yearling steers
scaling 928 pounds and a consign-
ment of comparable grades mixed
yearlings averaging 842 lbs. sold at
10.35. Other centers recorded nu-
ket. and while Wall Street was in-
clined to regard the Wiggin report
cn tae German financial statement
as the mest candid discussion of the
situation in some years, the nature
of tae remedies proposed was in-
terpreted as: possibly foreshadowing
a long period of international bick-
ering and unsettlement. The bond
rnruket was on the whole a little
steadier than yesterday, but rails
ccntinued to register new low levels.
Continued bullishness over the oil
shares reflected the growing belief
that the Texas and Oklahoma shut-
downs will result in substantial in-
'.reascs in prices, not only bringing
larger profits to crude producers,
but oringing s:ha.rp appreciation in merous loads of fed steers and yearl-
the value of the large inventories of in?s from 3 60 ^ 10 25, western
County Oil Values
Will Be Larger
Fears that oil valuation of Gray
county this year would be le.ss than
last were dispelled here when it
was learned that petroleum values
will be around $25,000,000. or two or
three million dollars larger than in
1930.
Adjustment of oil values was con-
cluded by the county commissioners,
sitting as a board of equalization,
today. The board has been in session
three weeks. Values of royalty own-
ers were heard this week.
Final figures 011 the total valua-
tion will not be tabulated for over
a month, but it was estimated the
taxable oil property in Gray county-
would be around $25,000,000.
Due to the depression that has ex-
isted in the oil industry for the last
six months, many local citizens
feared the valuations of petroleum
properties would be lower than last
year. The increased valuation will
provide an appreciable amount of
taxes to apply 011 the road bonds
voted this year.
Oil values were assessed by the
Thos. Y. Pickett company of Dallas,
and Mr. Pickett and two assistants
sat as an advisory body with the
commissioners throughout the hear-
ings. _
Fair Is Popular
Topic In County
Attendance of rural citizens at
every meeting of the fair committee
held this summer at various schools
of the county has been far beyond
expectations.
The Schaffer school building was
packed Tuesday night when County-
Agent Ralph R. Thomas. Miss Myr-
tle Miller, home demonstration ag-
ent, Geo. W. Briggs, and C. H. Wal-
ker, chairman of the fair committee
arrived to discuss plans for the Gray
county fair to be held here Sept.
10-12.
Citizens of the Schaffer commun-
ity were highly enthusiastic. Many-
exhibits of wheat and other grains
have already been prepared by
farmers. Members cf the Blue Bon-
net club, sponsored by Miss Miller,
will have a home demonstration ex-
hibit. The Schaffer community will
be represented by a booth, and they
are working to make it one of the
most complete at the fair.
tee will go to Bell school house to
tee will go toBcll school house to
meet with citizens of that commun-
ity. Bell is about 12 miles southwest
of Pampa. Friday night, the commit-
tee will meet wtih Farrington cit-
izens.
Mr. Walker is pleased with the in-
terest and enthusiasm rural citizens
are manifesting. It is believed that
every community in the county will
have an exhibit at the fair.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 19. (P) -
Cotton continued to work downward
today and made new lows for the
movement as well as for the season.
With the menace of the storms
pa-s^d and with cables decidedly
disappointing the market was with-
out buying incentive and consider-
able selling developed, including
probably some hedge selling. Shorts
were able to cover without the ne-
cessity of bidding prices up. Easier
stocks probably helped the decline.

(x'tuiy points worse than due and
private cables stated that there was
hedge selling and general liquida-
tion. Manchester cabled that the
decline In cctton Is checking busi-
ness in cloths and yarns. First
trades here showed losses of 6 to 8
points.
The weekly weather and crop
nummary was fairly bullish but In-
fluenced the market but little and
prices continued to ease off under
pressure of filing by traders and
some hedge selling until by mid-
session OWober had dropped to 8.86
and December to -J.81, down 14 to
cago paid up to $8.00 for best na-
tive lambs while best rangers to

with fat ewes at 2.50 and down.
Feeding lambs were noted at $5 00
5.35. Receipts were estimated at
