Chief Coyle. upon his arrival at the
scene of the blaze, turned in gen

of fire apparatus in the city.
The plant is surrounded by vacant
lots, and this permitted the french

The plant was working half time,
and only yesterday notices were sent
out that the firm would begin full
time next week. The worl1men VIII,

BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Sept. S.-War has

ductive employment. Factories are
closing down or running short-handed

Symptoms of it are seen in the
numbers of workingmen appearing on
the streets as newsboys or seeking
other employment and the heavy calls
for assistance from the municipal and
labor union funds.

LONDON, Sept. SIT IS not con-
ceivable that we should fail. If We
do fail the lights of freedom go out
over the whole world"
This was the statement of Rudyard
Kipling, the author. in a stirring ad-
dress to a mass meeting at Brighton,
where an immense crowd had gath
cred in the Dome to. listen to speeches
in support of Lord Kitchener's crusade
for recruits. The meeting was pre-
sided over by the Lord Mayor OF
Brighton. seconded by Herbert Sam
uel, president of the local government
board. Mr.. Kipling said:
Through no fault nor wish of ours
we are at war with Germany, the
power which owes its existence to
three well-th ought-out wars; the
power which, for the last twenty
years, has devoted itself to organiz-
ing and preparing for this war; the
power which is now fighting to con-
quer the civilized world.
For the last two generations the
Germans in their books, lectures,
speeches and schools, have been care
fully taught that nothing less than
this world conquest was the object of
their preparations and their sacri-
fees. They have prepared carefully
and sacrificed greatly.
Must Have Men and Men and Men"
I'VE must have men and men and
men if we, with our allies, are to
check the onrush of organized bar
barism.
Have no illusions. We are dealing
with strong and magnificently equip
ped enemy, whose aVowed aim is our
complete destruction.
THE violation of Belgium, the at
tack on France, and the defense
against Russia are only steps by the
way. The Germans real objective, as
she has always told us, is England
and England's wealth, trade and
worldwide possessions.

MOVEMENTS SMALL; UNDERTONE GOOD Financial District Still Feels Effects of StOrms-Rail-
 road Stocks Sensitive

New York. March 3.-Stock exchange transactions today, while on larger basis than yesterday. still were abnor- mally small. The financial district has not recovered from the effects of the storm.
 and the under tone was good. None oi the leaders moved than a fraction above or below yesterdays close. Sir Edward Grey's statement on Mexican affairs was construed favorably by the bulls and unfavoraby by the bears, and came to naught as a market factor
 Of the influence immediately surround ing the market most attention was given to the decidedly poor showing of the railroads for January. The growing sensitiveness of railroad stocks to this condition of affairs was indicated by New York Centrals weakness yesterday and by New Hayen's decline today. New Haven sold at 651a, the lowest figure in the history of the company. Last month it was marked up to IS after selling al 6Sss in December, on the passing of the dividend.
 London prices for American stocks were lower and there was a moderate amount of selling for foreign account The only important movements today were in a few of the less active shares Canadian Pacific, influenced by foreign selling, was heavy throughout the day. Express stocks were again strong, Ad- ans Express showing 5-point advance.
 Bonds were steady. Sales, $2,570,u00 United States bonds unchanged.

SPOT DEMAND
 FAILS ID DEVELOP Active Liquidation Follows RumOrs of Freer Spot
 Offerings

New York, March 3.--Reports that the active spot demand expected after the first of March had failed to develop, and rumors of freer spot offerings today were accompanied by active liquidation in cotton.
 The opening was steady. 3 points high CT to points lower in sympathy with steady cables.
 Some buying seemed to be encour- aged by reports that active business was pending in Russia, and private ad- vices claiming that German spinners would call cotton freely in the near future. There was not much support. however while the first messages re- ceived from New Orleans showed rela- tive weakness there, and brought south ern selling orders.
 The market soon weakened in con- sequence and all months, except March. made new low ground for the season with the close barely steady, II to 16 points net lower.
 General business still was restricted by the limited wire service and New Orleans was the only southern marllet heard from up to the close,

WEATHER IS HAVING
 EFFECT ON MARKET
Demand Holds Up, But Coast Storms Make Fish

Quotations on Morris avenue continue firm, while the cold weather conditions make for a heavy demand in most lines. The rough weather prevailing on the gulf and Atlantic coasts makes tho fish and oyster supply extremely low while the demand is good, especially for oys- ters There are very slight variations in the prices of meat and produce gem erally. The consensus of opinion among wholesalers is that business is good and is growing more brisk every day.
 While there are no changes in poultry quotations, recent heavy weather has greatly impeded those who wish to bring their goods to market; and With the clearing of the weather large ship ments of both eggs and hens arc ex- pected to arrive in this citY.

COTTON GOES ID
 NEW LOW LEVELS The Market SOftens Under Heavy Selling for Short
 Account

New Orleans. March 3.-Cotton soft ened and went to new low levels for the season today under heavy selling for the short account. At the lowest the trading months were 15 to 20 points down, the widest fluctuations in many sessions. The close was at practically the lowest.
 A variety of reasons were given for the selling pressure that developed.
 Heavier receipts at ports. good weather over the cotton belt, expectations of
 large returns in the final ginning re- port of the season now pending, stories
 of liquidation of spot cotton and the fear of intervention in Mexico were all offered as the causes for the increased offerings.
 The decline was unexpected in view 1 of the good cables, large exports and promises of very heavy March export movement Bulls declared that the in- creased receipts were due to this export
 movement At the decline bulls, how
 ever, offered little support and the mar
 ket was steadied chiefly by profit
 taking from shorts.

Chicago, March S-Speculators sold they have shown in sometime Opinions by crop experts that the plant was en- tering spring with the best promise in many years took attention away from scattering advices of damage. The close was weak. ss@h to sx47s under last night. Corn finished as to E down; oats off Is to A and provisions varying from a shade decline to an advance of 5 cents
 Wheat prices at first were inclined to advance, owing to the higher cables, and because of continued complaints of win ter killing in Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas Support gave out. however, and the market received a sharp setback after one authority went on record that winter wheat as a whole, has improved 2 points since December l. and that Wis eonsin and Iowa were the only exeep- tions to an allround gain.
 Estimates that farm reserves were nearly 4,0ooO00 bushels larger than a year ago led to increased selling later There was also much undoing of spreads between the July and the May deliv- cries. Longs in May unloaded.
 Corn suffered a bearish reaction as a result of the break in wheat and in con- sequence of figures showing that the stock here he'd greatly enlarged in the last week. Considerable buying was done early on the theory that the west would show a lighter movement, and that the east would increase demands.
 Oats swayed with corn A falling of in the visible supply apparently was ignored.
 In provisions Chicago's large stocks were offset by the fact that hog receipts turned out unexpectedly small Besides the worlds supply of lard failed to gain at rate equal to that of 1913.
 Future uuOtations were AS follows.
