Trade Conditions and Prospects.

War as a disturbing element In the cot
ton manufacturing industry Is no longer
TO be counted with. The grave dangers
that threatened 10 paralyze the industry
at the commencement OF hOstilties are
now dispelled, and with renewed energy
and re-established confidence the mills
throughout the South are steadily in
creasing their output and making active
preparations for the future trade eX-
pansOn. which their owners, almost with
out exception look upon as certain
consequence Of peace negotiations. The
universal restoration Of confidence Is by
far the most important and most en-
couarging feature of the industry to-
day and fully justifies the prediction
made In these columns some two months
ago
Government demands for certain lines
OF cotton goods. such as fiat and double
and-twisted ducks. for use In the army
and navy, have not only absorbed all
stocks of these goods in the hands or
manufacturers. but have resulted IN
large contracts being placed with GER
tain southern mills which Will monopollze

been more or less irregularity in prices.
on slow market. but the situation as
a whole. Is a considerable Improvement
over last month. and a very marked i'm
pr0vement over conditions existing at the
same period last year. The fact that
large number OF looms are confined 10
export orders. "A large number controlled
by the Government. and a still greater
number idle on account OF the greater
inducements offered by the provisions
OF the DingIey act for the production or
yarns. will at once make IL apparent 10
the manufacturer that better prices and
increased activity in domestic trade may
confidently be expected within very
few weeks.
The condition OF the cotton-yarn market
is an excellent Illustration OF the evils OF
overproduction. For two or three years
previous to the enactment OF the Dingley
tarif schedules there was little demand
for yarns. and prices were unusually low.

SUNSHINE AT CUBA lIBRE.
The Rain Stopped and Preparations
Are Made for the Next One

CAMP CUBA LIBRE July 13..-Special.
For the first time this week the bugle
sounded in the afternoon for drill at 4
o'clock and the various companies went
through a severe drill.
Those who had been on guard duty had
TO go on police duty to-day under the
regulations. but they did not find it a
very easy task. for they were set to work
digging bitches around the several camps
so as to afford plenty Of opportunity for

ating any further disturbance 20 the
tents and the welfare of the soldiers.
In doing this work the soldiers had 10
pull of their shoes and socks and in some
places they stood up 10 their knees In the
water.
The several company kitchens also
were cleaned and made as safe as
possible against further storms. The
same could be said Of the regimental
quartermaster and commissary depart
ments. Where heretofore tents had been
used for the storage Of provisions,
wooden structures are now being erected.
While the rain had played havoc with

The War Department has just issued
an order under which 10 rounds OF car

have been allowed per month for target

In connection with this matter 1t may
perhaps not be out OF place and perhaps
offer some consolation to the men VINO
are going into battle. to state that OF
