The consul general at Shanghai re-
ports that there IS temporary de-
mand for American cotton due to tho
TACT that many domestic producers arc
holding back their product and about
10000 bales have been purchased from
the United States Hc thinks the
present disturbance in China and the
consequent money stress may curtail
the consumption. Ii the present un-
rest In China continues. the American
shire's chief market for cotton pieco
goods will be seriously affected.
An element of uncertainty exists in
Italy. the consui-Eeneral at Genoa re-
ports. owing to the war with Turkey.
as that country is large importer of
Italian cotton textiles and prolonGa-
tion of the war naturally would result
in closing that market to Italian mills
II is believed however. he adds, that
the large American cotton crop this
year VIII materially reduce the price
of the raw material and bring ABOUT
an increased home demand in Italy
which will be sufficient TO offset the
loss of the trade with Turkey.

The origin of the turban must be looked for not. as commonly believed, among Moslems, bur as d sign of au- thority and honor dating back to the earliest periods of Jewish history. The term used in the Hebrew Bible for putting on the bonnet of the high priest is from a root meaning ito bind round" The words miter. hood, dia- dem, as used in the Old Testament, are only variations of the word tur- ban Jerome tells us that the turban has place in the most ancient records of history. The variations as adopted by Mohammedans are many. Their own authorities hint at q thousand methods of arranging the turban. which show not only the tribe and re- ligious distinction, but even the per sonal peculiarities of the wearer. An old legend traces the turban to an act of desperate courage recorded of the ancient Levantines.
