is MERE FRACTION

Washington, November 3o.-(Special)
While the United States exports of cot
ton In October ran to only about 30 per
cent of the total for the same month in
1913 a report of the bureau of the census
today shows that the shrinkage in domes-
tic consumption for last month was only
about II per cent, as compared with the
same period last year. Also, the number
of spindles active during october, 1914,
was only 100000 less than a year ago, the
number IN October of this year being 3d.
651 ,946, as compared with 90,s55,360 last
year, which is very small reduction

ufacturing establishments and independ-
ent warehouses was approximately 1000, 0OO
more bales In last October than a year
ago, the total for October. 1914, oeing
4.49s, 443, as against 3.5s2,673 in the month
In 1913. on hand in manufacturing estab-
lishments last month, says the report,
were 713,407 bales, and In independent
warehouses were 3,7S0036. compared with
], 023,016 In manufacturing establishments
in october, 1913 and 2,509,65S in indnpend-
ent warehouses.

for October, 1914. was 1854. compared
with 511,92s in 1918. OF the last October
consumption 241 OH bales were used In cot
ton growing states and 210,77o in all other
states, while a year ago 26S,235 were con-
sumed In October in the cotton growing
states and 24s, 6Ss In other states.
According to the bureau, the imports of
foreign cotton in October. 1914, were L. 152
bales, compared with $500 In the same
month last year, the imports being d.
yided this year as follows: Egypt, 1854
bales: Peru, S02 bales; China. 1881 bales,
and all other countries, 1855 bales. In the
same month last year 2119 bales came
from Egypt 1419 from Peru. 7o1 from
China and 1880 from all other countries.
Total exports for October this year were
4e7. 1870 maels, compared with 1,5l7S3S In
1918. The exports this year were thus di-
yided: United Kingdom, 232,065 bales;
Germany none; France, 22,s02; Italy, 4s 147;

In conclusion, the report says:
1.-THE worlds production of commercial
cotton, exclusive of linters. grown In 1913

pounds, net. The consumption OF cotton
exclusive of llnters In the United States)
for the year ending August 81, 1914. was
apporximately d. 900 bales"
Except for the United States, cotton

clusively to that used In spinning and does
not include large quantities which were

MARKET ASSUMES
WAITING ATTITUDE
Many Traders at New Or
leans Hold Off for Gov
eminent Estimate
Rate. Bid. Al sked.

New Orleans, November 30.-The cot
ton market assumed much of a wait
ing attitude today AS the governments
annual estimate of the yield is only a
few days away and the next census re-
port only a few days away many
traders held off. The net results of the
days trading were rise of points
to a decline of points. At the high
level of the day the market stood to
10 points over Saturdays close. Last
prices were within a point or two of
the lowest.
A local crop estimate of 15,750,000
bales, not including linters, was con-
sidered to be bearish and led to pre-
dictions that the governments estimate
would indicate record breaking crop,
but big crop talk had little influence on
prices. Offerings were slender in the
early trading and small demand
served to put the market higher. In the
afternoon selling increased to a limited
extent on reports of freer offerings of
spots in the interior, although spot mar
kets generally held steady.

LOOK FOR CROP OF
100000 BALES
Three Private Estimates Is
sued-Market Is More or
Less Unsettled

New York. November 30.-The cotton
market was more or less irregular and
unsettled today. Fluctuations seemed
chiefly attributable to further evening up
of the December contracts. Lower Liver
pool cables and the circulation of Decem-
Der notices estimated at about 5000 bales
were followed by an opening decline of s
points on December, while other months
were unchanged to about points lower.
There was considerable Liverpool buying
of the near positions. as we'll as some
scattered covering, and moderate In
veofment demand for October, which
steadied the market shortly after the. call
and sent prices some to points net
higher.
Around 7.s7 for December. however.
there was renewed liquidation, and that
position eased of to 72Oc, or 10 points net
lower. with later deliveries selling some
to points under Saturdays close. There
was enough demand to check the decline
at this level and last prices showed slight
rallies on covering with the close steady
at net loss Of n to points. Three pri-
vate crop estimates were issued with a
New Orleans authority placing the yield
at 10, 10000 bales, a Memphis estimate of
14.eSs. 900. and an estimate by members of
the Memphis cotton exchange of 15,o29ooo
bales on the average, linters being ex-
cluded in all three figures.
New York, November 30.-Cotton opened
steady; December, 7.24c; January, 7.ssc;
March, 7.4Sc; May, 764c; July, 779c; Octo-
ber S.03c.

New York, November 30.-(Special)
Liverpool continues to hold very bearish
views as to the course of cotton. 1t seems
hardly necessary to repeat that they be-
lieve they will be able to buy all the cot
ton they need at much lower prices So
they pay little attention to the slow in
yestment demand in this country beca use
they think that they will soon be filled up.
Our own spinners entertain about the
same views, SO that the situation is
clearly up to the producer, and we have
little fear but that he will meet 1t by re-
fusing to sell his cotton on any declines.
There was little in the market except
the feeling that the bureau would show
large crop estimate.

Quotations on Norris avenue are firm,
although the demand in some lines Is
somewhat slack. This Is attributed in a
measure to unfavorable weather con-
ditions. Trade Is expected to become
more active as the week advances. and
supplies are being ordered accordingly
Meat and poultry dealers report a
steady demand, and prices are I'M

PLACES
FOR THE DEFEATED
Government Will Not Lose
Services of Several Con-
gressmen of Ability

! Washington, November s0-(Special.)
Evidence that republics are not always
un grateful has been offered this week
in report that several defeated demo-
cratic candidates for Congress are to
be enlisted by the administration in
executive departments, in positions of
responsibility and trust as we'll as of
generous emoluments. BY tradition,
such candidates have been dubbed
lame ducks and are rewarded as
party pensioners having claims for pre-
ferment which must be respected-in
short they are to be taken care Of.
As matter of fact. this Is far from
| fair to a majority of such defeated cam
didates, many of whom are men of dis
tinct ability and of calibre to be of
service to the country in Congress or
in other public offices. Nor Is their de-
feat always to be laid at their own
doors. for frequently they are victims
of their loyalty to their party, or to
the administration or to some personal
principle. Many by equivocation or by
reputation of some administration
policy might retain their seats and their
salaries, but prefer to fight the good
fight and keep the faith as they see 1t
politically, and to taint such men with
the ta.int. lame duck" hardly is In
accord with the American spirit of fair
play.
For instance, Representative Mitchell,
who seems slated for United States
marshal In Massachusetts,, has demon
strated his fitness for that or any SINH
lar office; moreover. he has proved his
loyalty to the administration and en-
Joys the confidence of the White House.
| His defeat for reelection to Congress
has not impaired his abilities in legis-
lative or executive lines, and he simply
| Is transferred from one field of use
fulness to another sphere In which he
Lean serve the administration, his party
and the people.
| So, too with Representative Bulkley
of Ohio and Representative Korbly of
| Ohio. who may be director of the mint
and solicitor of the treasury, respec-
lively. Both have served with distinc-
| ton on the committee on banking and
currency, both have acted in full SYM
pathy and accord with the administra-
ton and both are described as men of
sound business ability. Such lame
ducks can hop livelier on their
erutches than many fowl with both
limbs and wings intact.
| But, tradition and 'humor" have
| dubbed such men lame ducks" and
classified them as decrepit political PEN
sioners, dependent on the bounty OF
their party. AS one who has had his own
setback, however. even Uncle joe
Cannon will agree with that Baltimore
school commissioner who uttered the
classic remark, "The experience AIM
done them no harm"

Coffee Market

New York. November 3o.-The reopening
of the coffee exchange for general husi-
ness today was not accompanied by any
excitement and trading was quiet. A few
European buying orders and some local
covering gave the market a steady tone at
the start and prices showed advances of
some to Is points from the figures pre-
vailing in the liquidating committee at
the c'ose of last week, although they were
still about $50 points under the official
