|STEAD|ER PRICES | DURING PAST WEEK
Talk Has Reflected No Change of Sentiment In
 Regard to Size of Crop

New York, November 27.-While busi- ness remained generally quiet in the New York cotton market during the past week, prices ruled steadier, and during to- days trading December contracts sold at 743c. or 5S points above the low level of November IS, and within 2 points of the syndicate price of TIC. Later deliv- cries also advanced on a little trade buy ing and some investment demand, while the upward tendency evidently was en- couraged by the increasing export move ment and the steadiness of southern spot markets. Leading trade interests as well as Liverpool shorts were buyers of De- cember against sales of later deliveries. and December 1 notices issued today were estimated at only TOO bales, although there are fully 40,o00 bales certified in the local stock.
 The talk has reflected no change of sem timent with reference to the size of the crop. The census figures show 11.624, 7os bales ginned to November IA were in line with estimates of something over 16,000,0 600 bales including linters Compared with into-sight figures. this report also indi- cated a record volume of cot ton available in the south Local spot brokers claim that domestic sp1nners are still buying only from hand to mouth in the expectation that these supplies will eventually become a pressure against the market. The improving export movement and the firmness shown by interior hold CTS so far this season have held sellers in check, however. and spinners have been moderate buyers here on rcessions Di- rect shipments to Germany are expected in the near future and German interests were reported to be inquiring for cotton in the local market today.

WAR WILL DELAY
 ENGINEERING WORK

Among the many large engineering im- provements which will be seriously de- layed because of the great war now in progress on the continent, says the Elec- tric Railway Journal, are the electrifica- ton of steam railroads in Germany,
 France and other countries. The greatest delay may be expected in Germany partly
 because of the diversion of government
 funds to war purposes, and partly be-
 cause of the fact that the latest electri-
 fication that in Silesia is close to the
 Russian border
 In any event, the railroads will be SC
 overcrowded because of troop and prov
 ender transportation that no such inter-
 ruptions as are incident to change from
 steam to electricity would be permitted
 It is doubtful also whether the Stadtbahn
 identification will be furthered in a time
 of such financial stress. In France, where the privately owned
 Midji railway has taken the lead in cleo trification, less delay may be experienced because there is no dependence on gov ernmentt funds for the change, and the lines are at a. great distance from the war zone. It is questionable, however whether the suburban electrifications oi Paris will be continued at this time. Rus sia also was reported to have in hand great identification projects which vii now have to be postponed.
 Even If Italy. Spain. Sweden and Nor way succeed in maintaining their neu i trality, the electriications planned il those countries will be held up for two reasons-diversions of government funds and assignment to army duty of the mos vigorous and technically trained men ir the country In general, the continenta countries give preference to retired sol diers for railway workers. therefore th' men who would build and operate th' electrified roads are among the first re servists to be called back to the colors No matter from what point the situation is viewed, even a very short war mus mean a serious delay to the eectrifica l 4.- = .%oov,, roiIroa da in EurOpe

DENY CONSOLIDATION
OF CARPET COMPANIES
OF MASSACHUSETTS

Boston, June 2.-Denial that the
Hartford Carpet Co. of Thompsonville,
CT, has purchased the Bigelow Car
pet Co, with factories at Lowell and
Clinton, was made today by Thomas
P. Beal, treasurer of the Bigelow Co
I'VE deny" said~Mr. Beal, that the
Hartford Co. has bought the Bigelow
Carpet Co., and our directors have had
no negotiations with the Hartford Co.
Our directors are considering a ten
tative offer to purchase the stock of
the Bigelow Carpet Co., but this offer
does not come from the Hartford Co.
Nothing definite has been decided.
I'VE have had some carpet experts
examine the conditions of our prop
critics and await their report This
may have led to the published reports
in the press. If the present nego-
tiations result in an offer for the stock
of the Bigelow Carpet Co, which the
directors can recommend to the stock
holders, an early announcement will be
made"

4lann and Murdoch Clash in
Debate Over Labor Amendments
To the Clayton Antitrust Bill

Washington, June CLOSE restrictions
on the use of injunctions on labor dis
putes are the feature of the section of
the Clayton antitrust bill reached today
in the House.
II also provides that no such injunction
shall prohibit strikes. peaceful picketing,
peaceful persuading of persons to work
or quit work, primary boycotts, the pay
ment of strike benefits or peaceful as
semblages. An amendment proposed by
the judiciary committee and agreed upon
by representatives of organized labor
and administration labors proposed:
Nor shall any acts specified in this
paragraph be construed or held to be
unlawful"
With this amendment, Rep Henry of
Texas declared that the provision became
the bill of rights of American organ
lied labor
The Clayton bill was again before the
House today with prospect that detailed
consideration of the measure would be
completed before adjournment. Rapid
progress has been made by the House,

for places in the new provisional gov
eminent to consist of two men chos-
en- by Huerta, two by the Constitution
alists and a neutral provisional Pres
ident selected by common agreement
of all parties.
1t was just before the mediators. the
Mexican delegates and the American
representatives, entered the banquet
given for them tonight by the Assoc
ciated Canadian Clubs that the type
written copies of the position of Gen.
Huerta were given out in the hotel
lobby. The American commissioners
read 1t eagerly.
BY subordinating personalities and
declaring themselves openly in favor
of treating internal questions in the
mediation conference, the Mexican
delegates, it was generally agreed here,
had launched strong argument
against the Consttutionahsts' position
as previously outlined. The general
view was that if the Huerta represen-
tatives had found no improperly in
dealing here with the internal Mexican
situation, the world generally would
not approve of technical objections to
the same which might be offered by
General Carranza.
Whether or not an armistice could
be arranged was another topic of
absorbing interest occasioned by the
reply to Zubaran. The mediatofs are
known to feel that if the Constitu-
tionalists are sincerely DESTROYS of re-
storing peace in Mexico, they could
easily arrange an armistiee fer 10
days or two weeks, without ceasing
military preparations in the meantime
and if at the end of that period they
found their interests were not being
properly safe guarded they could with
draw from the arrangement.
The mediators are of the opinion
that the next two or three days will
develop clearly whether the Constitu
tionalists are really seeking peace or
are merely obstructionists. The elm
ination of Huerta, though never before
publicly admitted, has nevertheless
been privately considered here the fun
damental aim of the conferences.
With this point passed. the three
diplomats considered that a war has
been averted.
The responsibility, if the program
should now be upset. the mediators
feel, will devolve on the Constitution
alists.

REFUSE To CLEAR
VESSEL LOADED
WITH MUNITIONS
FOR CARRANzA

New York, June Five hundred
Mexican Constitutionalists which ar
rived in New York today from Bridge
port, Conn, will not be allowed to
leave this port. Although it was
stated at the custom house that no
instructions in the matter had been
received from Washington, officials de-
clared that it was probably any YES
sells bearing arms or ammunition con-
signed to either of the Mexican fac
lions would be refused clearance pa
pers.
. The ammunition. was brought here
on the Bridgeport Lines steamer Maui
gatuck and it was understood in ship
ping circles that the lot would be light
cred to the Ward liner Antilla, which
is to sail late today for Tampico. Off-
Gals of the Ward Line refused to say
whether the shipment had been Of
fered for the Antilla-
While any vessel carrying the am
munition will likely be refused clear
ance papers if the shipment is con-
signed to a Mexican port, it might
be sent to some Central American or
West Indian port and then re-cleared
for Mexico. Custom house officials said
they were expecting instructions from
Washington.
The Antilla got away late today. her
cargo unmolested.

Progressive Thoughts
Republican Leader Mann declared that
the Progressives did not know how to
vote on the labor amendments until after
consultation with Colonel Roosevelt.
THE colonel stands on the Progressive
platform. retorted Mr.. Murdoch. I'm
like the Democrats and the Republicans.
the Progressives are not hog-tied and
they vote their individual views.
''They do not know what their senti-
mems are" returned Mr.. Mann, until

New York and asks Colonel Roosevelt

thinks"

PREPARATIONS TO RESIGN
Continued from Page One)

(COntlnO6Q from rage Ou6)
which the Mexican delegation has had
since the beginning of peace negot1a-
lions it's members declared at the first
full conference, that is to say, In the
presence of the mediation plenipotentia-
ries and of the delegates of the United
States of America, that President
Huerta's personality is not an obstacle to
the reaching of satisfactory conclusion.
General Huerta is prepared to with
draw from the government on condition
that at the time of his withdrawal Mexi-
co shall be politically pacified and the
Government succeeding his shall be such
as to count on the acquiescence OF the
governed and on the support Of public
opinion, which constitute for peace ana
stability in any country
TT has been and is President Huerta
wish to place on record that neither mis-
taken pride nor personal interest Will
prevent his withdrawal once the above
named conditions are satisfied.
1.-The Mexican government accepted the
mediation of the South American powers.
Argentina, Brazil and Chile. In frank
and open spirit and the Mexican delega-
ton has been guided and will be guided
in all it's acts by perfect good faith.
TT should be unnecessary to say that
President Huerta gave the Mexican dele
CATION special instructions not to consent
to anything which could hurt the sover-
eighty of the Mexican nation and to re-
fuse a hearing In the deliberations of the
conference to anything which might be
construed as an imposition from the out
side. For their own part the delegates
would not have accepted instructions of
different nature on these points; but
they beg to state that hitherto they have
had no occasion to refer to them, thanks
to the exquisite tact of the mediation
plenipotentiaries and to the circumspec-
ton of the American delegates
ITO treat of the interior pacifcation OF
Mexico in the course of deliberations on
difficulties of an international character
cannot be considered as submitting the
sovereignty of the nation to an external
influence; said pacification is necessarily
bound up with the international ques-
lions. This has been appreciated by the
Mexican delegation and in setting forth
the intentions of its government in the
matter and it endeavors to bring about
the pacification it has been inspired by
the knowledge that without it no salts
factory conclusion can be arrived at in
the international question"
