in this city on the subject of For
elgn markets for cotton textiles"
Mr. Green cited the great South
American markets in which the
United States imports amount to
small per cent. 1T is an undeniable
fact said he, that the need for
more EXTENDED market for our textile
productions exists and it seems to me
that the great safeguard for your in
dustry lies in getting those markets"
Spencer Jenney SteinmetZ of BOs-
ton in a paper on the Cotton mile
of Mexico called attention to the
fact "That the cotton mills of Mex
leo do not produce one-fifth of the
cotton demanded by that country and
four-ninths is imported from France.
England and Germany and, while 1
have not the exact figures of the
trade we receive. it is the mouse's
shares instead of the lions share as
it should be. The Panama canal will,
let us hope, be open for business in
three years-then all English, French
and German mills will reap the rich
harvest they have so diligently sown
in the past and present. They have
mapped their plans and we must get
active if we want the vast Latin
American business.

milwaukee,, Wis. Sept. 16-Abe Attel''
champion featherweight. won 1O-round
no-decision bout from Charlie Whlte OF
Chicago tonight 1t was his fast WORK
in the last two rounds which gave him
the newspaper decision. and until that
time White had a good chance to break
even with the champion.
Abe was sent against the ropes in the
first but returned smiling and landed
hard left to Whites face. White contln-
ued to reach 'Abe's face, but his blows
lacked steam. Abe got in some hard
punches on Whites face and body. In
the seventh there was little hard fighting.
They clinched frequently. In the eighth
Attell landed one blow which brought
blood from Whites nose and devoted him
self in the ninth to Whites body.
The champion did all of the fighting in
the 10th and would have won the decision
on this if nothing else. White was con-
tinually holding.

POTATOES MOVING.
Farmers Shipping Crop With Prices
Increasing.

With potato prices apparently on the
increase in Arostook county, upriver
potato shippers are hustling to get
good portion of the crop of 1910 onto
the market. Big trainloads of spuds
are being hauled to Northern Maine
Junction every day by the Bangor &
Aroostook and delivered to the Maine
Central.
Up to within a week or two ago. pc
tato shipments from Arostook coun-
ty were rather noticeable for their
small number, but railroad officials
iidn't worry much about them because
they knew the farmers were waiting
for the windup of number OF falrs
before getting their crops out or the
ground. Then again the price was
rather low and few farmers were snip
ping at that figure which was around
50 cents a barrel.
In the last week, however. there has
been decided impetus to potato ship
ments and hardly a day goes by but
the Bangor G, Aroostook delivers from
rs to 100 carloads Of tubers to the
Maine Central at Northern Maine
Junction for transportation to their
destination. Thursday 81 carloads
were hauled to the junction and 90 the
day before.
Up to Thursday night the Bangor d
Aroostook had hauled $50 carloads of po-
tatoes from up-river points the present
month, as compared with 500 carloads 1or
the corresponding time last year. During
August, just past, 211 carloads were haul
ed, as against 1876 in August 1903. up TO
three or four days ago the September
1909 shipments were ahead of the cor
responding time this year, but rise OF
about 20 cents barrel in the last week
has started the shippers to sending the
spuds along and they have now exceeded
last years record.
Potatoes were selling Thursday in
Pressure Isle. and Caribou around 81 a
barrel This price, according to B. & A.
officials, may or may not hold for some
time. If present shipments tend to glut
the market prices will drop for a time, of
course, but there is no great certalnt!
that this will happen, for it is understood
that the potato crop in some of the other
potato-growing states is not large ana
Maine may be depended upon to help out.
According to the B. & A. officials, up
river potato growers are hauling their
spuds very rapidly now while the travel
ing and prices are good. Farmers have
been lucky this fall in that they nave
not had to contend with lot of potato
rot and many of them are counting on
having some money to spend this fall
Practically all of the shipments now are
billed to New York and Boston points.
Later on, in the latter part of Decem-
Der or the first of January, the tubers
will be started south where they will be
used for seed-Bangor Commercial.
