LITTLE DOING IN CLOTH.
Cotton Prices Being Unsettled Had
Their Effect,

Manchester, April 5,-The unsettled
situation regarding cotton kept the
cloth market here last week on the
borders of stagnation. The general
demand during most parts of the week
was unimportant and the turnover
was poor.
There was a slight increase of trans
actions during the week, some buyers
operating where the sellers were
pressing for business. The outlook in
India is satisfactory, encouraging the
belief that there will be increase of
trade when prices become settled.
There were some sales for India in
light fabrics. The standard shirtings
were unstable. The China trade was
limited though there were many low
offers. Some minor outlets have taken
the supplies necessary for the seasons
requirements.
The buyers generally are combining
their purchases to small parcels,
which are requisite to keep up their
assortments. Business in yarns was
devoid of interest, the demand con-
tinuing to be of retail character.

heard before. Through all of the mar
ratives recounted, some in very good
dialect, there runs the suggestion Of
the good feeling and mutual admira-
ton that the white people and the
black people felt for each other in the
days of yore. An intensely interesting
chapter is that which tells the story
of Sam Davis, the Tennessee boy and
hero who has been called the Nathan
Hale of the Southern Confederacy,
and to whose memory a splendid bust
has been made by Zolnay the sculp-

societies. MI. Moore's book commends

1.-THE House on the Hudson" by
Frances Powell. Cloth, $1.5O. Charles
Scribner's Sons, publishers, 153-157 Fifth
avenue, New York city. This is the
first novel of new writer. 1t is to
be hoped it will not be the last. The
story is strikingly unconventional, run
ming upon lines peculiarly its own.
From the moment Miss Athena Dero-
han arrives at Highgrove Hall, young,
beautiful and unprotected, the chival-
rous interest of the reader is awaken
ed, only to be still more potently slim
ulated by the mysterious developments
which follow. There are, indeed, two
stories running through the narrative;
a detective story of merit and pas
sionate and forceful drama of love.
"The Cavalier" by George w. Ca
BILE. Cloth, deckle edges, gilt top; price
fishers, 153-157 Fifth avenue, New York
city The story is so well known to
the public that no criticism or COM
ment on 1t is necessary. The volume
at hand is of the Julia Marlowe edi-
ton" and is a credit to the talented
actress in whose honor it is named.
Miss Marlowe, it will be remembered,
created for the dramatized version of
the novel the stage character of Char
lotte oliver, the heroine. The illustra-
lions of this edition show Miss Mar
lowe in the various poses and scenes
incident to the story. 1t is a very
handsome volume, worthy the story
and the actress.
1.-THE Archierey of Samara," by Hen
ny Iliowizi. Henry T. Coates & Co.,
publishers, Philadelphia. There is al
ways fascination about stories of Rus
STA, in which love, politics, plottings,
prisons, knouts and the like are COM
mingled. Russian laws and life lend
themselves to mystery and romance,
and because so little is known or per-
mitted to be known of the inner work
ings of the governing bodies, the inn
agination of the romancist is permitted
fullest play without arousing the sus-
picion of improbability. The story I'M
der discussion is a semi-historic ro-
nance of Russian life, and it abounds
in vivid pen pictures, stirring descrip-
tions and quaint legends. 1t is a book
to hold the interest from the first page

Boston, November 9.-The 23rd
annual convention of tn American

opened in this city today and which
will continue probably for at least
fourteen days, got into working or
der before an adjournment was tax
en- late this afternoon.
President Samuel Gompers deliv-
cred his annual address to the dele
gates n Secretary Frank Morrison
and treasurer John B. Lennon, pre-
scented their annual statements.
President Gompers' address took
up most of the afternoon. It showed
that the gain in membership of the
animated international unions and of
the American Federation of Labor
during the last year had been 442,-
100. Mr.. GOmperS reviewed at
length what the Federation had ac-
complished during the year and he
made numerous recommendations.
He pointed out that the grave dan
ger which confronted their move
ment was internecine stife, due to
the conflicting claims of trade juris-
d1ction. Mr.. Gompers condemned
such and trust legislation as was Sc
cretly against labor and urged eter-
nal vigilance with respect to legisla-
ton.

income of the year was S247.SOO. the

ance on hand $4,000.

Washington. November 9.-TO con-
sider the race problem in the United
States is the object of a meeting of
the National Sociological Society,
composed Of representative Coiored
men from various sections OF the
cOuntry which began here today.
h main feature of today's s2s-
sion was a paper by Bishop Lucien
Halsey, of the African Methodist
Zion church on Race Segregation"
In this paper he proposed that the
cOlOred race be given one or more
states in which to live exclusively.
He would ave the white race barred
from living in these states. W. are
told that the south is the white
mans land" said he. If it is so.
that race has been a poor guardian
of the subserVient cOlOred people.
n two races lave never lived to-
Sether in harmony, and L am of the
opinion that they never will. To-
day the COlOred man is being crowd
ed out OF the fields and the work
shops of the south by the white Ia
the south has proved the most eX-
penSiVe ever tried" Bishop Halsey
dWelt on the evil results of mixing
to both races and urgeu this as an
other point for segregation.
In h discussion which followed,
several members protested against
Bishop Halsey's scheme of solving
h race problem, declaring that the
segregation of the colored ace meant
that the negroes would never be ele-
waited n hal the entire plan was
inpracticable.

Texas. where he went TO make an in
v~estigation of :he condition of cotton
and to learn the results of the fight the
planters are making against the boil
Weevil.
Many of the planters are taking the
advice OF the Agricultural Department
and are planting early cotton said the
secretary. practically the entire late
crop was destroyed. The weevil has
ravaged much of the best part of the
Texas cotton belt. All efforts to exter-
inmate it seem to have been u~navailing.
Efforts TO eradicate the hOuse-f1y would
be about as efticacious. The only way to
