The teadr ad Vance In the price of cotton, adding hundred of millions to the wealth of the South and rclievlnR a situation bor dering on bankruptcy, In probably due to brighter prospects for financing of cotton exports and to renewed confidence among tho banks. In the opinion of Chairman Eugene Meyer, .Ir , of tho War Finance Corporation, ns expre-ed today. In the last sixty days the War 1 1 nance Corporation has directly arranged, through the extension of credits to Southern cotton-growing nsoclatlon. batiks ai'd other business initltutioin, for flnanttng the export of npproxi- mntelir 1.0,10.000 bsics of cotton, 'tills is roughly oM-eightb. of the cotton surpluB now on hand, compared with n normal surplus of from 1,. 100,000 to 2,000,000 bales. Negotiations nlready concluded and now under wny will relieve the situa tion materially, Chairman Meyer indi cated. "Of course no one can sny why cot ton has advanced in piiee." he said, "but if I were to hazard an opinion. I Bbould say it was due to the cumulative effect of new credits for export, and to renewed confidence on the part of the banks nnd growers. Wo have been pay ing Mtltular attention to cotton, nat urally, because it is our largest and most important crop, nnd in normal times makes up from 20ito 2T per cent of our total exports. "I think we have given the growers .confidence and have given tho banks down South confidence. Southern bank ing resources am not equipped to carry over 8,000,000 bales of cotton from one year to the next, nnd the effort to do .no has been a strain. We have shown they can be taken care of. The grow ers hnve not been frightened, and the banks have come in more freely with extensions of credit. "The banks have got to carry the growers longer. There is no use try ing to sell cotton for delivery In six months when people don't want to buy it for a year.'1 ,. When the War Finance Corporation announced Its first loan to Southern cotton growers on July 7. to permit the exportation of approximately lUO.tMK) bales, cotton was selling for twelve nnd one-half cents. As subsequent loans were announced and price gradually ad vanced to its present figure, around six teen cents. W. Va.

Sept. 1 (By A. p ) The block of counties Involved In the present armed disturbances, Kana wha, Fayette, Boone, Logan and Mingo, forming part of the southern tier, havo been, on several occasions, the scene of individual differences nnd nrmed marches. Extensive conl operations dot the district and within It nre Paint and Cabin Creeks. Some of the operations aro unionized, others nre not. In Logan County the entire field Is unorganized except for n narrow strip on the eastern slope of Spruce Fork Ridge, close to the Boone County line. It is In that region nnd extending across the county line into Boone that armed bands have been reported gather ing for several days. It is there that deputy sheriffs. State police, volunteer peace officers and citi zens of adjacent counties who responded to a call for help from Logan Countv authorities are guarding the roads and trails that lead westward into the heart of the county, it wns there that re cent fights occurred when bands intent on crossing tho county en route to Mingo, were resisted by Logan patrols. The reason eiven bv the men for a journey to the Tug River bank in Mingo l nunty was to protest martial law de clared there several months ago, fol lowing industrial disorders in tlic Wil liamson conl fields. The first Indication of n march from Kanawha County through Boone nnd Logan Into Mingo was the assembling of groups of men from Paint nnd Cab in Creeks at Mnrmet, n town just south of Charleston, August 20. For scern! days thereafter, other bodies joined thoe groups, swelling their number to several thousand. The march southwesfwnrd started shortly after midnight August 2.". Ra cine, Boono County, was reached tho first day and the night wns spent along Indian Creek near that place. The next day found the ndvnnco part numbering MO men nt Madison, twenty miles from Mnrmet. the rest of the marchers being scattered out n few miles behind. At this juncture, Federal and State authorities called on United Mine Workers' officials to persuade the men to abandon the journey. C. F Keeney nnd Fred Mooney, president nnd secre tary, respectively, of District 17, hur ried to Madison nnd addressed the men who nppcnicd to be without recognized lenders. The appeal apparently wns successful, for during the next two day reports were received that the men were fast returning to their homes. The reports were so encouraging thnt Brigadier General Bnndholtz. sent to West Virginia by the War Department to investigate the march, returned to Washington. He bad no sooner reached tho nn tionnl capital nnd made his report thnn disturbing reports began to arrive nt Governor E. V. Morgan' office thnt men wniting in Western Boono and Eastern Logan counties to join tho irnrchers when they got that fnr. hnd dispersed and were insisting on Hewitt nnd Mill Creek" Courkrs from the armed force on the Boone-Logan Count border visited Whitesville on the Boone -Raleigh County bolder today, recruiting men for the bands around Jeffcry.

Deputy sheriffs were dlspntched to the eastern hills to offer resistance. Meanwhile, alarming reports that the East Logan and West Boone Count bunds rapidly were growing lnrger and thnt men from Cabin and Patut Creeks were streaming across Boone Count to join them caused Governor Morgnn nt midnight Monday to dispatch nn appeal to Presldcut Harding fnr Federal aid. During this time the Logan authori ties were not Idle. Cnlls for help went to adjacent counties nnd hundreds of citizens, including manj ex -service men, lesponded to the call.
