tam lines OF imported materials by
buyers who thought their source OF
supply would be cut OFF forever will
cause a great many changes OF buyers,
and probably has some bearing on the
fact that buyers as a rule are not &C

with their sales up TO normal and thelr
purchases below normal, the manu-
facturer and wholesaler should be wise
enough to figure out that before March

saler who does not prepare to fill the

Answers Suit Concerning
Theatre Lease and Stocks.

Oscar Hammerstein has filed his an
swer in the Supreme Court to the SUIT
brought by the Equitable Trust Com
rany to restrain him from selling. the
lease of the Victoria Theatre or from
taking any other action that might I'M
pair the value of 3,99S shares OF the
Hammerstein Amusement Company
held as security for the payment OF
5000 a week for the support OF his
two daughters. The Victoria Theatre
was to be sold under foreclosure pro-
ceedings brought by Mr.. Hammerstein.
Mr.. Hammerstein answered the SUIT
by saying that a lease Of the theatre
was made by the Hammerstein Amuse-
ment Company to his son, Arthur
Hammerstein, and Lyle d. Andrews,
his financial manager, and that before
the suit against him was brought he
had transferred to Andrews the mort
gage held by him.
Mr. Hammerstein contended that An

the suit should be dismissed.

DAY OF WILD OATS
GONE, SAYS RABBI
New Woman Will Drive
Old Adam Out of Man,
Kopald Believes.

Morals for Men versus Morals for
Women" IN other words, the double
standard, was the theme of the sermon
preached at the Free Synagogue yes
terday in Carnegie Hall by Rabbi Louis
j. Kopald, Of Buffalo, who occupied the
pulpit in place OF Rabbi Stephen S
Wise, who is in the western part of the
state.
"The changed position OF woman in
society, her growing economic inde-
pendence, is," he said, entirely recog-
nized. To-day we are face to face with
feminism, a serious social philosophy.
Woman is coming into her own, and
society is turning its face to her in
sistent demands.
"As she is now economically indie
pendent and fast growing politically in
dependent, shall she continue TO be de-
pendent upon man morally and TO en-
dure his idea of the double standard
No. Now she can, she will, demand Of
man the rectihcation of this double
standard.
"It is said IL takes twenty-one years
TO develop a man to majority. 1t has
taken twenty-one centuries for woman
70 reach her majority. But she has
reached It., and now she must insist on
the single standard, for she is now
mans equal, and among equals there
can be but ore standard.
at is unth.nkable that the standard
shall change ir the direction of greater
license for woman. If chastity is de-
sirable in man, It is fundamentally
necessary in woman, for upon her de-
pends the intactnes3 and purity OF the
race. Public opinion would revolt
against a change of that character.
"If there is TO be single standard
IL must be the standard of woman at
her best, and the historic man-made
privileges of man must disappear. Is
moral laxity any more right for one
sex than the other? When the Seventh
Commandment was emblazoned on the
hearts of society was it meant that its
thou should apply to woman alonep

COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES QUIET
Many Mills Seize Opportunity
to Close Down for the
Holiday Week End.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 29.-There
was small business in the cotton goods
markets last week. Several of the
mills closed on Wednesday night for
the balance of the week, and this gave
an opportunity to some mill agents in
this city and some converters and
printers in New York and other large
textile centres to remain away from
their respective Offices until Monday.
The closing OF these mills had the eff
feet Of keeping out of the market that
much cloth which would be put up for
sale had these mills run in full.
Under normal conditions cotton
mills would never think of closing for
a day and half, but on account Of the
limited business which has been the
rule it has not Inconvenience these
mills to suspend operations. There are
some mills which could not close down
conveniently because they have con
tracts on their books which must be
filed, and to suspend operations would
cause disorganization.
The light demand early in the week
was for both SO and 1914 inch goods,
mostly of constructions; the bulk Of
this business was not large and prices
we're rather low. There are some mills
which have been doing a moderate
amount Of business in these counts.
and their accumulations are infinitely
small. The situation in narrow cloths
is not encouraging. printers and other
factors who would naturally be inter
ested in these lines in normal times
having practically abandoned these
constructions. Those mills which have
more than n majority of narrow looms
have rather large accumulations, and
were an inventory TO be taken for
these goods it would show consider
able loss.
BUYERS have been successful in most
cases in inducing mills to agree TO the
bids which we're offered, these ranging
from one-sixteenth to one-eighth Of a
cent a yard below prices which were
asked by manufacturers. The cotton
warn markets have been rather quiet,
and those Southern mills which make
a considerable quantity of weaving
warns are doing little in this line be-
cause some mills have been curtailing
their weaving output.
Sales for the week are estimated at
90 600 pieces, Of which about $4,000
pieces were spots. The week closed
with the demand light ard market con-
ditions very quiet. An Idea as to
changes In prices may be learned from
the following comparisons with year
ago:

N. H. URGES TRADE
WITH SO. AMERICA
Says Federal Reserve and Canal
Enhance East'S Great Busi-
ness Opportunity.

"Trade Opportunities in South Amer
ica" is the title Of a booklet just issued
by the New Haven Railroad for the
benefit of manufacturers in It's terri
tory, whom it is seeking TO arouse TO
the opportunities in South American
trade.
In anticipation Of the Latin-Ameri-
can Trade Conference which the New
Haven is arranging, to be held in Bos-
ton next month or in January, copies
Of this booklet are now being dis
tributed TO manufacturers and boards
of trade in southern New England. The
booklet contains information regarding
trade conditions in South American
countries, their financial systems, pos
tai regulations and steamship service,
and the latest figures showing what
these countries have been buying from
other nations.
The new Federal Reserve banking
system, permitting our banks to estab-
lish foreign branches, the booklet
points out, should be Of great assist
ance in getting South American busi-
ness. Attention is also called to the
fact that the Panama Canal has brought
manufacturers here nearer to the west
coast countries than those of Europe,
q thousand miles than San Francisco
and Los Angeles.
From the figures printed in this book
II is possible for New England manu-
facturers to derive some idea of the
possibilities for them in these markets.
For example, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island produce
about Al per cent of the country's out
put Of cotton goods. OF the $4,000
600 of such goods imported by Chilli
in 1912 only $4,000 came from this
country. Germany, whose trade is now
cut off, supplied s3,400,O0O, and Great
Britain the rest. Argentina bought
S35, 100000 worth of cotton, of which
S5,527,000 came from Germany, more
than $17,000,000 from England and only
s445,300 from the United States. Of
the S18,000,000 cotton goods imported
by Brazil, $3,S00,000 came from Ger
many, Sli 100000 from England and
only S329,000 from this country.
Rhode Island and Massachusetts, pro-
duce 49.7 per cent of the country's wool
len goods. Argentina bought over sl0,-
OO0, 900 of such goods in 1912, of which
only Sl1,800 came from here, Germany
supplying 100000 and Great Britain
s5,s00,000. Chilli imported s7,000,000,
Of which Germany supplied s2,445,000,
England S3,200,000 and the United
States but $4,000.
Connecticut and Massachusetts, fac
tories produce 68.5 per cent of the fire.
arms and ammunition made in this
country. OF the s4,45O,0OO Of such ar
ticles imported by Brazil, Germany
supplied s2,4sO,OO0 and the United
States only s925,O00. Peru bought
$550sO0, OF which Germany supplied
si72000, England Sl23,0O0 and this
country sl02,30O.
About az per cent Of all the cutlery
made in the United States is manu-
factured In southern New England.
Out OF 900 tons Of cutlery imported by
Brazil this country supplied only 10
per cent, while German goods COM
prised over as per cent.
