COTTON EXCHANGE OPENING
EXPECTEC IN COUPLE WEEKS

From the New York Commercial.
Conferences between the members of
the committee having in hand the or
ganization of a syndicate to take over
contracts and various brokers with
outstanding continues, but no an
nouncement has been made. While the
work of forming the syndicate is pro-
crossing slowly there is every reason
for belief that the plan is coming to a
head and that news of its consumma-
ton will be forthcoming soon.
The feeling in the trade here still is
that re-opening of, the exchange will
take place in two or three weeks.
A bulletin issued by the Department
of Commerce gave the average export
price of cotton for September as 81
cents a pound. The export price for
September, 1913, was 1874 cents, and
two years ago it was 11.6 cents. The
great decline this season represents the
effect of the European war.

EARLY BOOM IN COAL TRADE
FOUESEEN IN PHILADELPHIA
Contract for Supplying $4,000 Tons to
South American Firms Placed
in Quaker City.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

II ItiD me lill1NCipAiio lhHh
Predictions of an immediate boom in
the coal exporting business of this port
were freely made by shipping men
when it became known that the British
steamer Rio Blanco had been chartered
to load several thousand tons of coal
for Rio De Janerio. The vessels will
arrive at this port about November Z.
A contract for supplying $4,000 tons
of coal to South American firms has
been awarded to local exporting con-
Germ, it is reported on good authority,
and this will result in a period of ac-
tivity which will surpass any which
has occurred during the past year or
two it is expected. About fifteen yes
out of this port, since each of the
large tramp steamers which will en-
gage in the transfer can carry about
! 5000 tons. The last vessel to leave
this port with a cargo of coal for South
America was the Rio Ignessa, which
sailed from Philadelphia in May. The
establishment of a large coal exporting
| business to South America will bring
! thousands of dollars to this port. That
Philadelphia companies can underbid
exporting firms of other ports is the
contention of shipping men, because
of the nearness to the source of sup
ply of the local concerns.

horses from the allied armies. The
West is being covered for mounts and
draught animals by agents of the
foreign governments. over 100000

horses, and were it not for the lack of
sufficient freight room, purchases
would have been more extensive.

S e:s.liZea Roofing ca DSis15ii's
SUBSTITUTION.

The imitator is like the coun-
terfeiter. He enters the field of
business with a cheaper. lower
grade article of merchandise,
made as a substitute for the gen.
uine, and generally sold at a
cheaper price, arguing, as usual,
that it is lust as good" The
dealer is persuaded to handle it
on glowing promises of enormous
profits-much larger than the reg
.ular legitimate profit which is
made on the genuine article. The
imitator succeeds in playing upon
mans natural avarice, places his
goods on sale with the dealer. and
inStructS him to take advantage
of the public by substituting the
false article for the genuine at
every opportunity. You can be
pretty sure that whenever you
ask for well-known product and
the dealer tells you he has some
thing else that's just as good, or
even better, the dealer is going to
make a greater profit on that ar
ticle than the one you call for,
and in nine cases out of ten you
will get a much inferior article.
Some buyers are easily imposed
upon and this encourages the
"get-rich-quick" schemers to in
crease their SubStitutiOnS. This
also discourages the legitimate
manufacturer who is putting out
articles of merchandise that rep
resent honest value to the con-
sumer. Where a man has devoted
years of his life in perfecting an
article that he knows cannot be
excelled in quality; where he has
spent thousands of dollars in adj
Vertising his goods; and where
these goods have been giving uni
versal satisfaction for a long
time, great injury results by per-
hitting substitution to rob him
of his market and at the same
time rob the consumer by selling
him a doubtful article at practi-
cally the same price.
There is no law through which
such evil practices can be stopped
The sole remedy is for the legiti-
mate manufacturers to ask the
public direct not to patronize
dealers who try to substitute a
different brand of goods for the
kind wanted. All first class deal
ers know that it is poor business
to try to substitute something
else for the article wanted.

From the New York Sun.

From the New YORK Sun.
A feature of the exports of commod-
tiles from this port for the period from
October 1 to October 20, as compiled
at the custom house yesterday, is the
doubling of the export sugar to Eng
land, as compared with the figures for
the entire month of September In the
first 20 days of this month sugar eX-
ports to England were 10S,061, $50
pounds, as compared with exports of
51,733,5S6 pounds in September There
were no shipments of foodstuffs direct
to Germany or Austria.
Large shipments of rubber boots
have been started from New England
recently as a result of the heavy rains
in France, Belgium, Russia and Aus
tria. The United Hosiery Company, of
Boston, reports that heaVr orders for
it's product are being received. Fire
arm factories at Hartford and other
Connecticut centers are busy turning
out orders.
John j. Arnold, chairman of the for

that $15O,O0OOOO in supplies and food

100000 YARDS SHtETlNG
ORDER TO WESTERN FIRM
HEAVY Demand in This Line Feature OF
Catton Goods Market For the
Past Week.
From the New York Times.

FROM the New 1oFk 1lMeS-
A heavy demand for sheetings has
been the feature of the cotton goods
trade this week. 1t was learned from
a reliable source that in the last two
or three days close to 100000 yards
Of these goods had been taken by three
of four firms in the middle West, which
makes tires and other rubber goods.
The bulk of the business was done in
36-inch, $3.50, 3.60-yard goods, and on
4O-inch, IS squares, 2;5O-yard goods.
The prices at which the business was
done were not given out, but it was
said that they were quite little be-
low current figures, the result of I'M
usually careful buying.
Quite few inquiries have come for
ward for goods for delivery during 1916
but the mills are not willing to look
that far ahead. One such inquiry came
from Boston and called for 100000
yards, half of which was understood
to cover the inquirer's needs for 1916.
Market opinion is that these inquiries
show buyers to feel that the bottom of
the market has been touched at last.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together. and
until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable, For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Many Inquiries Received.

In the last month the merchants as
sociation has received about 70 letters
from foreign business interests regard
ing purchases of American products.
Each inquiry dealt with from two to
seven commodities, and was referred
to from three to twenty merchants,
members of the association. They re-
port satisfactory results. Machinery,
canned goods, woolens, shoes, rugs,
and hardware particularly are in de-

On Saturday the liner Car will

Foreigners Buying Machinery.

Concerning the foreign demand for
machinery, the Iron Trade Review will
say tomorrow:
by far the most important develop
ment in the market this week has been
the heavy demand for lathes and
other machine tools for export, one
order alone closing for the shipment
of 800 lathes to Russia. Large orders
also have been placed for lathes for
shipment to England, and Germany
has been a prominent factor in the
machine tool market as a buyer of
some of the heavy types of equipment.
'In addition, fair shipments have
been made to France, Italy, and South
America, orders involving types of
machines seldom bought in the United
States"
