THE FRIEND OF
 THE FAMILY

Z What more intimate friend of the family is there than the rep- utable daily newspaper?
 It is consulted by all. It Is guide and counselor-more than friend.
 Is 1t to be wondered that the advertising in a good newspaper like The Bulletin produces great results?
 The advertisers come to tho general public with the intro- duction of a friend to help them,
 They are given respectful att tentfon and the results they se- cure are largely due to the rep utation of N the newspaI CT through which they have plead ed their cause.
 We do not admit undesirable advertisements to the columns of this newspaper because as the friend of the family we have TO right to bring into the family circle any one in whom we have not the utmost confidence.

SAYS BUSINESS IS QUIET
James j. Hill Belittles Reports
Of Coming Prosperity.

James J. Hill. who arrived In Wall
Street yesterday on one of his custom
airy visits to this city. came with less
rosy reports of the condition OF bust
ness than have been published lately.
business is quiet" sad the veteran
railroad man. ut is hesitating, and is
not and cannot be sure Of the future.
Rainfall in a watershed is reflected by
the rise and fall Of the streams. The
volume Of the countrys business is re-
ilected IN tho commodities moved by
the railroads.
With earnings OF the railroads
steadily decreasing, the talk Of pros
perity is simply not true. No better
barometer on the state of the country's
business than railroad earnings can be
taken
Mr.. Hill was unwilling to attribute
th quiet state of business wholly to
the war Think of the legislation en-
acted against business in the last ten
years he said; mot only against the
railroads, but aga nst all business"
Mr.. Hill said the report that the Rus
sian government was seeking to pur-
chase the Pacific liner Minnesota,
owned by the Great Northern Railway,
was news to him.

RUSSIA PLANS
SYNDICATE HERE
Will Establish Credit to Finance
Huge Purchases Of Amer
ican Goods.

A movement has been started by
representatives Of the Russian govern
ment in this country TO establish a
syndicate to guarantee payment for
war supplies bought from American
exporters on six months credit ar
rangement. Since the outbreak Of the
war Russia has made enormous pur-
chases of goods in this country, but
has been financing them with cash
payments.
Ivan Narodny, the representative Of
the Russian governments purchasing
agent in Petrograd, Voldemar V.
Agafonov, said yesterday at his Offices
in the Washington Life Building, at
l41 Broadway, that the syndicate
would in all probability be completed
next month or in January. Mr. Narodny
said that j p Morgan and Charles R..
Crane were among those who had been
invited TO join the syndicate.
"The syndicate" said Mr.. Narodny,
will operate under the name of the
Russo-American Bank. It's activities
will not interfere with the work Of
the Russian Purchasing Commission,
which is engaged in buying ammuni-
tion, drugs, blankets and medical sup
plies, through Captain Wasslief, the
Russian Naval Attache at Washington.
"The purchases by the Russo-Ameri-
can Bank will be confined chiefly TO
such articles as steel rails, excavation
machinery and medical supplies, like
absorbent cotton, etc Before the war
began Russia bought most of her ma
chinery from Germany, the amount
running as high as Si00 100000 a year
With this market cut off Russia turns
to America for aid
"The syndicate will maintain a de-
partment of sales both in this coun-
try and Petrograd where American
manufacturers can show their samples
In obtaining credits in this country
Russia will only be buying under the
same conditions as she did with Ger
many before the war. In many cases
the credits extended 20 the Russian
buyers were longer than the six
months contemplated under the pres
ent syndicate arrangement"
The Russo-American syndicate's plan
for paying for purchases of American
goods has arisen chiefly because Of the
fact that shipments, in order to reach
their destination. must 90 by way Of
Vladivostok owing to the closing of
the North Sea TO commerce. Russia is
now paying for munitions of war
tought In the United States through
funds deposited with the National City
Bank, and only recently closed a con
tract amounting to Sl,0OO.0OO.

EXCHANGE TO OPEN SOON
Bankers Make Ready by Ar
ranging for Call Loan Pool.

Confidence that the opening of the
Stock Exchange for restricted dealings
in bonds is imminent increased yester-
day. Bankers who made known their
willingness last week to form a pool
to support the call money market de-
clared that a syndicate made up of i'm
portant Wall Street banks had been
tentatively organized and was ready TO
operate at short notice. The amount
Of the pool has been fixed az S25.000,-
000 In all probability it will be under
the direction of Albert II. Wiggin.
chairman of the Clearing House com
mittee.
The plan is the same as that prac-
tically agreed upon last week, when the
Stock Exchange committee of five let il
be known that the exchange would re-
open yesterday. that is, trading in
bonds on a minimum scale of prices TO
be fixed by a committee appointed for
that purpose, the prices 10 be changed
daily if in the committees judgment
conditions warrant.
The committee will submit its plan
for reopening to the the governing
committee to-day, and II is expected
that its approval will follow. The fol-
lowing bid and asked prices on repre-
sentative bonds are quoted by the

COTTON FUTURES
CLOSE IRREGULAR
Heavy Export Business, and
Foreign Supplies Short
Spot Quiet and Steady.

Obstacles to the shipment OF cotton
are being removed, and improving in
ernational trade conditions were re-
aected in the largest exports yesterday
Of any one day since the outbreak OF
the European war. According 70
Washington advices shipments OF cot
ton 70 Germany may now be safely IN
dertaken through Holland, while the
State Department has also pointed out
methods by which cotton may be ex-
ported 20 beiigerents through Italy.
Of course, these roundabout channels

ity Of raw cotton in Austria has been
reflected in recent urgent appeals for
supplies 20 be mailed from this coun-
try By parcel post for use In the hos
pitfalls, while at latest accounts the
scarcity in Germany was reflected In
market prices of 20 cents q pound or
better, comparing with prevailing spot
quotations of around rs cents 70 ~
cents in the Southern spot markets.
Trading here, however, was quiet yes
terday, and fluctuations were irregu-
lar, within a range Of some IL to 10
points.

ners were calling cotton In the Liver

again led the advsnse, selling up TO

while later deliveries showed gains or

ings became more liberal and the mar
ket eased off, selling about TO 6 points

ering caused a final rally, with the
close steady net 3 points higher 10

Local spot dealers report that do
nestle mills are still holding off, but
agree that their offers from the inte-
rior were steady and about unchanged.
Southern spot markets were unchanged

points all unchanged except Houston,
which showed slight advance. Ex-
ports for the day were 55,5S7 bales, or
fully 1000 more than on any previous
day since the beginning OF the season.
So far this season exports have been

The action Of the futures market
here since the reopening does not seem
to have been satisfactory in the South

all the leading Southern papers were
clamoring for an open market, the
