Cotton and Coffee.

One of the most interesting features
of the commercial situation today is
the controversy over the Endorsement
of cotton bills of lading, and there are
those who are of the opinion that be-
fore it is over there will be some
changes which will have far-reaching
effect, says Preston G. Adams in press
dispatches from New York.
The foreign banker has played a
pretty prominent part in the handling
of the cotton crop heretofore and has
made very pretty profit out of it. In
order to avoid losses for which he him
self has been largely responsible be-
cause of loose business methods, he has
tried to make the American banker as
sumo all the risk of loss.
Nobody has ever accused the New
York banking fraternity of being
"come- when the chase of the MIN
BILE dollar is concerned, so they have
been quietly getting things in shape to
finance the cotton crop without the aid
of the foreigners, assuming the risk all
right, but incidentally securing the
profits as well.
The foreigner must have American
cotton. So large percentage of Eng
lish workmen depend directly and indi
rectly upon the product of our south
ern fields that-although cotton is not
food-England would starve if its
supply of American cotton were cut off.
The continent of Europe takes more
American cotton than does Great Brit
ain.
That the United States is able to
finance its own cotton crop there is no
doubt New York banks have in the
past been represented as being antago-
nistic to cotton. Such claim can no
! longer be made. There is small
group of banks in New York very much
interested in cotton today. A few years
ago they were very little interested
These banks are stronger than all the
banks of Liverpool and have probably
resources as great as all the foreign
banks that have for years been inter
ested in cotton. There will be nc
trouble in financing all the cotton
raised in the south without the aid of
southern money. The man with the bale
on the street will find the money in the
local bank to buy it. The question OF
the financing of cotton merchants is
another matter. If foreign banks wish
to withdraw from cotton it will effect
individuals and interests, but it will not
: hurt the farmer. The person injured
most will be the foreign consumer.
The American money that will go tC
finance the crop, if the foreigner is
2 through with the business, may not bt
as cheap as foreign money-certainly
its sympathy will not be with the beal
side of the market to the extent that

6% cents IS months ago. The abrupt
advance in the last month has not yet
led to a corresponding rise in the prices
of roasted coffee by retailers, and, for
the most part, roasters have not yet
advanced their prices to correspond
with the higher cost of the raw berry.

MEYER PROMISES
FLEET TO PACIFIC
If Washington Will Back Him Up He
Will Improve shipyards, Says
Secretary.

Secretary of the Navy George Won
l.. Meyer, who was the guest of the
business men of San Francisco at a
banquet recently, advocated the abolish.
ment of half of the navy yards on the
Atlantic coast during the course of his
after-dinner speech.
He congratulated the Pacific coast
upon being fortunate enough to have
but two government shipyards, argu-
ing that these may be brought to a
greater degree of efficiency and made
adequate to accommodate any sort of
fleet. He said that an effort would
be made to expend 100000 in deepen
ing the channel to Mare island in order
that battleships and cruisers might
reach the navy yard on any tide.
"I have inspected the navy yards on
the Atlantic coast from Maine to South
Carolina and 1 must say that we have
too many yards on that side of the
country" said Secretary Meyer. "Half
of them should be abolished and will
be if Washington will support me.
~ am in accord with the general
movement on the Pacific coast in these
matters, but am of the opinion that
the fleet ought not to be divided at this
time. If Russia had not divided its
fleet in the Port Arthur affair there
might be another story to tell in his
tory"

carries connection with the store. For
instance, maple tree as one retailer
produced in his window, with hose run
ming down the inside of the tree-trunk
carrying water to a spout which pro-
duced the sap, coming from the tree,
a dummy figure with a pail was catch
ing the sap.
A display of this kind loses none of
its attractiveness by dressing it up with
green foliage or the like, and is really
appropriate with display of this kind,
but in a window where the ordinary
display is made, such as canned or
package goods, the use of much cloth
or other decorative goods takes away
from the display and reduces its adver-
sising and selling power.
The background of a picture is never
so attractive that it takes the eye
from the main object, but is more often
faint, showing a perspective, and dies
away gradually, never sharp or striking.
The trouble with most trimmers is
that they are too egotistical when they
trim a window, their idea being to see
how pretty they can make it, and so get
credit for an artistic window. They
do not think of the advertising results
of the window or of catching the eye
of the passerby.
A man who works solely to. gain
praise for himself often does his en-
ployer an injustice.
In trimming a window the idea
should never be forgotten that the win
dow sole object is to sell goods, the
artistic frills are used only to take the
harshness and square cut lines from

appearance, but it is often overdone, the
prettiness of the display overbalancing
its advertising and selling power.
1t is one thing to get a person IS eye,
and another thing to lead it where you
desire it to rest, and in the window dis
play the main object would be the
goods, or sometimes a particular group
of GOODS You don t want a person to
admire the trimming at the expense of
the goods.
The street takers say that if they
can get person IS eye, which is atten
ton, they have accomplished a good
part of their selling. The advertising
man writes his copy with the same end
in view, get the reader IS attention first
One retailer used balloons in his win
dow for the purpose of catching the eye
Strings were placed horizontally in the
window so as to form u frame, that the
balloons would keep within these
strings. At the top and bottom of this
window, but obscure to the eye, cleo
trio fans kept the balloons in motion
This caught the eye, and as the bal
looms rambled up and down in the win
dow the eyes of those viewing the dis
play followed, to be met at the top anC

Window Dressing Essentials.

In dressing a window the trimmer
may often be overwhelmed in seeing
how decorative he can make the dis
play. The idea of decoration in a win
dow display is not to make it so gaudy
as to overbalance and detract from the
goods displayed, but rather to carry
Just enough of decoration in the dis

simply to produce a pretty picture, says

An Unreasonable Public.

When an excited public gets through
asking questions concerning the high
price of meat it may take time to learn
the true cause instead of wasting effort
looking for an answer where it is not
to be found, says Chicago Retailers
Journal.
This public might be told now that
the high price of meat follows naturally
in the wake of the law of supply and
demand. Meat is scarce. 1t has been
growing scarce for a number of years,
and it will be scarcer and higher a few
years hence than it is today. There
may be ups and downs in the market,
but the tendency will be toward a gen
eral higher level. There is no conspiracy
of packers putting up prices beyond a
reasonable price. If the packers were
making the profits they are supposed to
make, the little fellow could build a
cheap slaughter house almost anywhere
in the cattle countries and get rich
supplying the home market. The pack
ers' profits today come out of the by
products of the slaughter house and the
economy of management. The small
butcher is compelled to throw away
things that furnish the big packers their
small margin of profit.
1t is all matter of cost on the hoof.
Land is high, grain is high, hay is high,
farm help is high. All this is reflected
in the price of meat on the hoof.
AS for the retail butcher, he cannot
sell as much meat as he formerly did,
because the high price has lessened con-
sumption. People are eating less meat,
and the retail butcher IS business suffers.
Yet the retail butcher comes in for
his share of abuse from public labor
ing under such a strain of excitement
that the true state of affairs are not
appreciated.
The retail butcher has no remedy. He
must stand up under abuse and be salts
fed with modest living as the product
of his hard labor.
But things will change. The public
will eventually see the light and pay
for what meat it uses without complain
ing.
