United States army surgeon
Such is the advance Of army santa

Americans and the japanese have been
( the leaders. The United States army
( hospitals have installed many remark
able innovations since the Spanish
American war with its dreadful lesson
in the danger Of typhoid and these new
ideas have been adopted by the army
surgeon of old world powers.
So 1t is expected that the present
war, the greatest yet in history. also
viii be the most humane There will
be no disprOporJiOnate mortality list
from disease and no army Of cripples as
an aftermath.
The modern high power. quick firing
military rifle and the development in
artillery will have much to do with
the change.
Danger of Gangrene Overcome.
Those who die VIII die more quickly.
Gangrene and infection will be practi-
cally unknown quantities, il is thought.
Before the Russo-Japanese conflict
the armies the world over used a high
caliber bullet, made Of unsheathed
and creased to overcome friction
in the barrel.
The muzzle velocity was less than
half that Of the missiles now employed.
Then, too, bayOnet and saber charges
were more common These resulted in
hideOus wounds, very difficult for sur
geOns to handle.
The bullets which are flying in Eu-
rope today are OF less diameter than
the ordinary lead pencil They are
jacketed with nickel, lead or steel and
have tremendous velocity.
The soft, mushrooming bullet Of the
old day resulted in the shattering Of
bones and the crushing, rather than
cutting of tissues Infection was almost
inevitable, the grease being especially
unsanitary. A wound in the abdomen
was considered necessarily fatal The
death rate among the wounded was
enormous.
In recent campaigns there are IN
stances where soldiers shot in what
were once considered vital spots have
walked unsupported to the field hospi-
tails.
Various Rifles Used.
Germany uses Mauser rifle. with q
bullet OF 6mm. caliber, steel and copper
coated Great Britain's missile is the
Lee-Enfield, caliber EX II NM, the
coating being cuprO-nickeL
The French weapon is the Lebel rifle,

with nickel. Russia uses Mossin-

COTTON MARKET
 RATHER STEAD|ER Southern Selling Less in Evi- dence and More Invest
 ment Buying

New York, December 4-The cotton market was rather steader today. South ern selling was less in evidence while there appeared to be rather more invest ment buying, particularly of the late months. The market recovered slight early opening loss. with the close steady. net unchanged to points higher
 There was a partial renewal of yester- days selling movement at the start. and first prices were to points lower on all months except October. which was l point higher in sympathy with relatively steady Liverpool cables The declines reported In most of the larger southern spot mar kets yesterday, seemed in line with the talk of an easier spot situation, but the absence of further southern selling and the failure of any weakness to develop in the English market made & favorable inn pression on sentiment.
 At any rate. the market steadied shortly after the opening. and during the middle of the day sold about to points net higher. Buyers showed little disposition to follow the advance. however. and clos ing prices were off from the best under scattered realizing.
 December notices estimated at about 5000 bales were reported in circulation at the opening, but evidently caused little liquidation.

SLIGHT ADVANCE IN ACTIVE MONTHS New Orleans Market Has a Good Tone Throughout
 the Day
Kate. Bid. Asked.

New Orleans, December 1.-The net re- suits of the days business in cotton fu- lures was an advance of 1 points on the active months. Early in the day the mar ket acted as if it would weaken and prices were 1 to 3 points under yester- days final figures. Buying orders in creased and were met by only scanty- of ferings with the result that prices went points over yesterdays finals In the aft ernoon crop estimate of IS, 450.000 bales from an English authority stimulated fresh selling and the advance was pared down.
 The market had a good tone throughout the day on the continued falling off in receipts and the continued large volume of exports.
 Receipts at all ports today were again smaller than shipments. The interior of the belt sent in many reports to the eff feet that farmers were less inclined to sell than they have been on the de- cline and the lighter receipts appeared to bear this out. Bears. however pointed to Dallas, which registered decline of an other sixteenth of a cent quoting mid ding at 6 1S-16c and reporting sales of 13. 497 bales the largest days transaction in that market in some time.
 Exports for the week amounted to 220, 662 bales, bringing the total export move ment for the season up to 1,476 495 bales.

FEAR OF WEATHER
 CAUSES A RISE
Export Buying Also Boosts Prices in the Wheat
 Market

Chicago. December 4-Export buying and a good deal of uneasiness about harm from prolonged dry weather in the domestic winter crop belt ran up prices today in the wheat market here. The outcome was strong close at 1Q1isc to 2kc above last night. Other leading sta- pies, too, all scored net gain-corn 1s@ zc to lsc. oats ssQ1kc to 7sc, and provi- sions, 10@15c.
 Cables were higher and there seemed to be noticeable increase of urgency in the European demand for wheat, cash sales at the seaboard being estimated as high as 1000, 900 bushels exclusive of transac- tions here or at other inland centers In some quarters a disposition was shown to connect this phase of the situation with reports that a German fleet of 10 vessels was threatening to interfere seriously with proposed big shipments to Great Britain from Argentina
 Drouth in western Kansas and Nebraska received more attention than heretofore in the wheat pit. According to a leacing authority, there was no doubt that the growing crop had been unfavorably af- fected. In western and central Kansas the lack of rain was said to be worst at this time for 20 years.
 Export sales finally turned corn upward with wheat. Liberal receipts, however, acted as heavy drag on the marke. most of the day.
 Oats moved higher with other grain and because of a moderate renewal of Euro pean call Primary arrivals were well under the total of shipments from the same points.
 Rising prices for hogs carried provisions up grade. There was free buying on the part of shorts, mainly in lard and ribs.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-12-05

There Is comparatively little selling from the south direct. but there has been considerable selling from Liver pool and from New Orleans. which probably represents hedging against cotton which has not yet gone to the consumer. It is natural that as cot ton begins to move more freely we should find this hedge selling. It is noteworthy that 1t does not come from the south direct but from merchants in other centers returning to the nor maj way of conducting business. The southern merchant apparently feels that al these prices 1t is not necessary to hedge his purchases in bulk as here tofore.
 There was again a good investment demand for October and also trade demand for the spring months which was sufficient to absorb the selling, holding the market dull but steady. In other words. the surplus is gradually being distributed through the channels of the organized markets, process which is naturally slower than 1t would have been under normal conditions.
