first report on the firing was made

The other battle in Poland is taking

UtmAhO INCREASING As
THE WAR PROGRESSES
Amount These Nations VIII Take
Only Limited By Vessel Space;
Cotton Will jun ,

San Francisco, al, Nov. 21.-
Should the war al Europe stop tomor-
row, cotton would go up to Is cents
the pound over night.
The looms of Europe are idle. The
demand for goods made from cotton
is great. When the looms start the
demand for cotton will boost the
price by leaps and bounds. Already
the price has advanced caused by the
immediate demand for cotton lint for
hospital use.
One handy man with decimals has
figured out the problem that each
soldier in the field carries IS pounds
Of cotton; there are 1S,00d0OO sol
diers in Europe. Figure the amount
OF cotton that alone will consume.
Foodstuffs from the United States is
in great demand in Europe just now,
as is also flour, feed and grain of
all kinds.
One of the unexpected ways in
which the war has made itself felt ON
the Pacific Coast is the pronounced
activity in the onion market.
Eastern buyers are in the field and
within the last few days the price per
sack has risen 15c sack Yesterday
10 600 sacks were billed for the East
via the Panama canal
Cotton is another brisk hut cheap
commodity Japan and China are
buying, and the quantity they seem
willing to purchase is measured only
by the amount of vessel space they
can engage. Their mills are reported
running to capacity Eight cents is
the price per pound being paid.
One expert estimated that If the
war were to end tomorrow cotton
would advance SC over night Ger
many is understood to he bidding
from 1Sc to zoe, withj practically no
orders being filled and her own stock
near the vanishing point.
The future OF the cotton crop in
California, where it has only recently
been developed, is held good for
hose who can be tided over the
resent depression, but it is generally
believed the acreage here, as in the
Southern Atlantic states, will be re-
luced at the next planting.
