COTTON GOODS | TRADING MODERATE

New York, January 7.--Cotton goods trading was of moderate volume during the week. Some further revisions were made and the market is gradually being leveled to the basis that has prevailed on gray cloths for some time past. Print ed shirtings have been priced on basis of 41a cents for Americans and Merrimacs and one of the prominent lines of east ern brown sheetings has been revised to SA cents from the top of sts cents at one period last year.
 It does not appear that China trade will revive in the near future, but the mlscel- laneous export trade continues steady and fig very promising at this time. Some small Red Sea business and some small India business was done. Of the 135, 600 pieces of print cloths sold at Fall River about 50.0O0 were for spot delivery. the balance being futures for delivery us far ahead as April. There was more firm ness in the wide print cloth markets at the end Of the week.
 Preliminary showings of cotton blan- kets and mapped fabrics are being made and new prices for the fall season will be named toward the latter part of the month. Jobbers are beginning to get a little new business fabrics. Retailers are now featuring white goods and do- nestle goods sales. Some few of the large buyers have been in the market but tho larger influx is not looked for until fhe third week of the month. when the annual meeting of jobbers' associations will take place here.

New York, January 7.-Thc steel mills of the largest interests last week again benefited from the specifications derived from the large contracts for finished products placed in December, but many of the smaller mills, especially in the east. were actively in search of orders to fill out nearby rollings. As a whole inc volume of business was much reduced from the weekly average of December. and 1t is evident that th railroad ton- mage anticipated is to be subject to de- lays. Interest was centered mainly in contracts for fabricated steel for buildings and bridges. the orders placed calling for about 5000 tons.
 The Burlington railroad placed bridge order for l0D tons with the American

DEFEAT OF BAKER BILL IS URGED PinchOt Declares It Danger ous Precedent in Interest
 of Power Grabbers

Washington, January T-Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester and president Of the National Conservation association, to- day issued a statement urging the defeat in Congress of a bill introduced by Repre- sentative Raker of California granting a water pipe line right of way through Mono National forest to the Hydro-Elec- trio company of California.
 Mir. Pinchot declares the bill is a dan gerous precedent, directly in the interest or water power grabbers." Without gov ernment permission, MT Pinchot declares, the company dug a ditch and began a water pipe line 300 feet long through Mono forest. Work was stopped by a. govern ment injunction, and tho company then applied to the department of agriculture for a permit to lay the line and was per- mitted to go forward with the work while the terms of the permit were being pre- pared. One of the stipulations was that the company was to pay s675 a. year for the use of the right of way and the per- init would be revokabe. The company refused to agree and the temporary per- mission was revoked.

SHOCKING DOUBLE MURDER REVEALED Aged Couple Found Badly Mutilated in New York  TORTURED TO DEATH Deep Clashes Across Faces and Bodies of Victims-Believed to Have Been
 Vitims of Religious Fanatics.
 Is Found By Son
TORTURED TO DEATH

New York. January IA case of double murder found in an East Side house to- day is one of the most shocking in de- tails of any since the Guldensuppe dis memberment and the Jack the Ripper" years old, and his wife. Rachael, 72 years old. were found dsad in their rooms, their bodies terribly mutilated.
 The police believe the aged couple was practically tortured to death, and in the absence of any we'll established motive for such a crime, think the Futtermans were the victims of religious maniac.
 Futterman was a retired manufacturer, who had accumulated a small fortune, but always had refused to leave the East Side neighborhood, where he settled when he came from Russia many years ago He was zealous church worker and aided in founding the synagogue in his district which he and his wife attended.
 They lived alone. Their three children. dwell in other parts of the city. One of these, Aaron Futterman, superintendent of a brass factory, discovered the bodies on d weekly visit to his parents
 The fathers body lay on sofa and the mothers on a bed Each was only partially dressed. There were deep gashes across both faces and bodies, and the eyes of both were terribly mutilated, one of the mans having been torn from it's socket. The mans abdomen was terribly slashed, and there were cuts running engthwise from head to foot. The na- ture of the mutilation led the police to believe that it had been begun while the Futtermans were alive, and that death had actually been caused by blows over the head which fractured both skulls. The bodies bore finger prints which police experts took photographs of. A small neck bag in which Mrs Futterman is said to have carried money and jewelry, which MT Futterman is said to have worn. could not be found. The police, however, scout robbery as the motive for the crime
 Aaron Futterman said he did not know that his father had an enemy, and that his father kept practically all his money in a bank.
 The police believe that the murder oc- cured several days ago, as decomposition had set in. Neighbors do not remember having seen the aged couple since Jan uary 3.

KEYP0RT HAS
FIRE SCARE.
Thought Sash and Blind Fac
tory Was Ablaze.
Special to the EVENING NEwz.

apcCiGG 10 inc u hFiHE NE We
Keyport, May 10:-The whole fire
department was called out last night
at about 1920 o'clock for what was
supposed to be a fire at the ConoYer
G. Young sash and blind factory.
Harry Van Doren was passing the
factory about that time and seeing
some shavings burning brightly, he
thought the place was on fire and
sounded the alarm. The firemen
turned out promptly and much ex-
element IA created. When the
iremen arrived at the scene, how
ever, it was found that the blaze
was in the responsitory, a building
about 200 feet from the main fac
tory and which Is connected with the
latter by a tube through which the
shavings are drawn by a vacuum
process for the purpos of being
burned. Yesterday the quantity of
shavings was more than customary
and the fire burned longer than
usual. 1t was this fact that caused
Mr.. Van Doren to sound the alarm.
There was no damage.
