WANT TO CUT PRODUCTION

Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 6--The indications are that Tuesdays meeting of cotton men to consider the advisability of curtailing production will be largely attended, the rise in prices of cotton during the pa9t few days probably causing the attend~ ance to, be larger than ft would have been otherwise.
 In addition to min men from all over the South. it is expected that manufac- turers and commission men from the North and East will be present. The movement looking to a curtatlment of. the production of the Southern mills ts being watched with a great deal of iu- terest by New England manufacturers. and it Is expected that any agreement for curtailing that may be, entered Into at the meeting here next Tuesday will include quite a number of Northern man ufacturers. It Is expected that the. cloth mills win be more largely represented than the yarn mills. since the latter as a rule. it is said, are in better condition than the former,
 It Is estimated that about % per cent. of the Southern mills have sufficient amount of cotton bought 10 run them until next summer and 1t is not ex- pected that any of these mills will agres to curtail their, production. Neither are the mills which have contracts Co nil In position to curtail or shut down
 A gentleman who is connected with one of the. largest cloth mills In tha South said to-day: A .sefs

 of aAe Hague Tribunal.
 New York. Dec. 6--Mr. Herbert w. Bowen, representative of the United States and Venezuela in the Venezuelan claims before The Hague Tribunal. re- turned today on the Campania.
 During the session of the tribunal, ha said. the court heard every possible and impossible argument In favor of warlikn methods and every humane and enlight. ened reason why creditors adopting peace. able methods should not be held to hava forfeited their rights to equality of treat- ment with bellicose creditors. 3t
 If We were little further advanced tr civilization, he went on, the distinguished arbitrators doubtless would have been asked to decide that if preferential treats ment should be given to any creditor. ia should be to those who refrained from I'd. sorting to war and used in their beat ef. forts to collect their claims by diplomacy. But arbitration is comparatively a new institution and until the Venezuelan csAss arose. the nations did not regard Tha Hague Tribunal with great favor"

Jump in Cotton Causes Worry in
 Vienna.

Vienna, Dec. 5.--The Austrian cotton manufacturers are seriously affected by the advance in the American cotton mar ket. A majority of the, manufacturers were entirely unprepared for the rise, carrying very small stocks and conse- quently they will be obliged to restrict their output to the lowest possible amount .~
 Some factories gre expected to shut down temporarily. Experts say that the entire continental cotton industry must be re-adjusted to meet the conditions and some profess to see consolation in the probability that the general curtailment of manufactured goods will tend to 6 healthier condition in the cotton industry in Europe.

 Discussed by Commission.
 Washington, Dec. 5.-Tne Southern Classification Commission of which P. !. McGovern Is chairman has adjourned after three days session here. Nearly 100 items of classification wege discussed by the members of the committee and several representatives of the shipping public were heard. a
 Reports that the classification ratings were to be advanced as a result of this meeting were erroneou&
 In a majority of cases. the ratings were reduced. some changes being made in the wording to prevent any misunderstanding as to the purpose of the classification.
 Out of a total of ninety-nine subjects discussed, only three changes were made, which indicated an advance, one of these being on locomotives because of the greatly increasing demand of the iocomo- tive manufacturers in recent years. The two other advances were unimportant. The chairman states that the tendency in considering classification ratings Is in the direction of a reduction and this meet ing was no exception to the rule.
