BOOM IN TEXTILES
GETS UNDER WAY
Confidence Is Returning, but Has
Still Hard Fight Against
Doubt.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 22.-There
was only moderate business in the cot
ton goods markets last week, and very
little new business appeared. Condi-
tiOns have quieted down and buyers
manifest less interest.
Buyers are in need Of certain con-
structions, but are imbued with the
spirit of doubt. Spasmodic purchases
have proved that buyers are not fully
stocked up with the goods which are
merchantable. Were these same buyers
reasonably confident the print cloth
markets of New England and the South
would be deluged with orders. The
only element necessary TO stimulate
business is confidence.
Quotations on print cloth are com
paratively low. Could converters and
printers see the condition of business
several months ahead there is no doubt
they would buy very freely, because
current quotations mean handsome
profits for them.
The demand last week was for wide
and medium wide goods IN plain
weaves. Narrow cloths are dull. II is
estimated that the sales last week
reached 100000 pieces, or about lO0,-
600 less than the normal capacity Of
looms, the weekly production of the
cotton mills in this city when running
in full being in the neighborhood Of
100000 70 10000 pieces. With cur
tailment under way, the weekly pro-
duction is reduced, so that the sales
are only slightly below the weekly pro-
duction.
Manufacturers are naturally opposed
to accumulation of goods, and on this
account they have shown a willingness
in some cases to sell at prices which
have been named by buyers and which
are lower than current prices. While
much dissatisfaction is shown among
mills because of the smallness of busi-
ness, the volume Of business done is
really fair. There is much TO be thank
ful for, even though business in tex
tiles has not been Of the best.
Cotton yarns are not selling in large
quantities; weaving yarns are only
fair, although prices may be said to be
rather low. Reports from the worsted
trades show that business is very good.
According 20 statements by concerns
making heavy duck, sales have been
large. and it is stated that one New
England concern has contracts which
will keep it's machinery engaged for
the next three years.
Several specific instances could be
cited 40 show that while cotton cloths
are SLOW, together with yarns, there are
otber branches Of the textile industry
O,bicb are booming and which are net
TING good profits. OF the total sales
last week, about $4,000 pieces were
snots mot Contracts will run into the first
operter of next year. The quotations:

GERMAN BANK NOTES
FALLING IN VALUE
Movement to Have Sessions of
Paris Bourse Limited at First
TO One Hour.

Paris, Nov. 22.-Complaints were
numerous of ofiicialdom causing un-
necessary delay in the issuing of the
national defence bonds 10 subscribers.
Formalities are considered superfu-
Gus. The Finance Minister, therefore,
has given instructions TO hasten the
sending of the bond certificates 10
subscribers and steps have been taken
TO supply the general treasury offices
with formulas which will enable the
officials to hand the certificates to APP
plicants when they pay their subscrip-
tions. Being made out TO bearer or TO
order, the bonds will be easily nego-
table.
The reopening Of the Paris Bourse
is expected soon. As has already been
stated. the opinion prevails in hnan-
cial circles that the trading Will be
confined at first to cash. The market,
for obvious reasons, may prevent Tor
some time business operations for ac-
count. General liquidation, postponed
since the end Of last July, must be
carried out by agreement between the
Bank OF France and the chamber OF
the official stockbrokers, which is
awaiting final sanction.
An order of the Prefect of Police
will be required before the STOCK mar
ket can be reopened.
Many business men express the wish
that the sessions of the Bourse do not
exceed one hour daily, and urge that
this request be considered by the
Chamber Of Official Stockholders. So
long as the market operations are Inn
tied TO cash bargains one hour will he
amply sufficient, it IS held. Sessions
are concluded IN less than an hour at
tho important Lyons stock Exchange.
News has been received here that the
German government has authorized the
dispatch of S2,4O00O0 in gold to the
Nationa. Bank of Denmark, notwith-
standing the prohibition against send
ing cold abroad from Germany. Iho
ground alleged by the German govern
me1t for this Don-obseryance Of the
stringent regulation is a marked de-
preciation Of German bank notes,
whose value has dwindled daily since
the outbreak of the war. The German
lOO-mark note, which was worth ~
francs, has nov fallen 20 about ia
and 1l3 francs. Its face value is l25
francs
Information from Geneva states that
Parcels of French bank notes, amount
ine in value TO several millions OF dol
lars. have reachCl Switzerland from
Germany. This money represents part
Of the war contributions levied IN
French towns by German armies.

BIG DU POINT MILLS
RUN NIGHT AND DAY
War Brings Prosperity to Three
New Jersey Powder
Towns.

Paterson, y. j.. Nov. 22-The three
big mills Of the +. ]. du Pont de Ne
mours Powder Company at Wayne,
Haskells and Pompton Lakes, y. j.,
are going night and day. Three shifts
of men are working. The hunting sea-
son alone would not cause such
activity.
During the last week the powder
company, whose headquarters are in
Wilmington. Del, inserted advertise
ments in a number of Eastern news
papers calling for five hundred men
70 work at the mills. In these three
"powder towns" the mills form the
one Industry and the employees are
housed in homes provided by the COM
pany.
Hundreds Of men came 70 the mills
in response 10 the advertisements but
IL was found none could be taken on
because all the houses are full and
there was no place 10 sleep. The Of
fcials at the mills state that extra
houses are being built and will be
ready in a short time.
The applicants, who were told 10
come around later, came from points
as far away as Baltimore, Providence
and New Haven. Many walked the
twenty miles from Newark. All were
forced 90 walk 90 the nearest city. As
d result Paterson Police Headquar-
ters is accommodating more than
hundred dodgers" As they have no
money and no job il looks as though
number will become public charges for
the cold winter months unless the
powder company can manage to rush
the erection Of the new houses.
No particular reason is given by the
powder company for its unusual ac-
tlvity. When the latest order for
day came early last week the explana-
ton given was the local hunting sea-
son. But this has never before kept
the mills going without stop, and the
belief here is that the prosperity at

UP THE HILL-G. o. P. VICTORY.

The warming up of the political can
didates in this campaign in their
scramble to secure as many votes as
possible, means that the average voter
of color is more or less of an impor-
tant factor, as the time draws near the
polls. Men and women are being sent
for, caucusing of committees and lead
ers, all go to show what factor the
Negro is. Wistful, longing glances are
cast in his direction and he is greeted
with smiles and sweet words. Men
whom he never saw before and whom
he really does not know will speak to
him and bubble effusively. His hand
is wrung with a vengeance and cards
bearing sober countenances and SOL
emn promises are poked at him on
every side.
Why does the voter of color receive
so much Of respect and fawning at
tention that would ordinarily be re-
ceived by any noted parsonage. Be-
cause this voter has before him the
important selection of a man or set of
men who want to run this state for
the people. They want jobs. How shall
the voter select? Not because the
candidate played marbles with you
when a boy, and used to join in going
to the "old swimming hole" Not be-
cause the candidate passes you cigar
or gave you drink at a saloon which
heretofore drew the color-line. Not
because ice cream and cake had been
given you free. Not because the can
didate tells how good you are and
how bad the other fellow is, and fin
ally not because the candidate is jol-
ly good fellow, nor because his father
or grandfather fought in the war, but
because of the grand and noble prin-
ciples of construction, progress, pros
perity and peace afforded in the con-
summation of their great objects, and
lastly because of their historical al
legiance to human rights for all of hu-
manity, will such action merit your
vote In Colorado the Democrats have
crushed labor by an internal war, i'm
peded progress, driven capital from
this state and asassinated our self
government ana plunged US into huge
debt, notwithstanding, we had a
watch dog of the treasury. After
six years of such hard conditions. we
must go up to the top of the hill of
progress, industry and business con-
fidence along the lines of reconstruc-
ton, remodeling, repairing and alter
ing and changing and supplanting old
policies of mistakes and Democratic
ideas with advancing peace, progress
and prosperity. To go up the hill, you
must vote and work for a. Republican
landslide, November 3.

URGE YOU TO VOTE REPUBLICAN
TICKET.

Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 7, 1914.
My dear George:
Enclosed herewith I hand you
check for s1.5O for my years sub
scription, and trust you will pardon
delay in my sending it to you.
| note, by your last two issues, that
you are having considerable factional
fighting among my people over the
recognition of the different clubs. For
mercy sake, plead with them to all
unite and stand for the Republican
party at this particular time in the
state of Colorado, for if they look
around over the state and the city of
Denver and see the depressed condi-
tions that now exist, under the pres
ent administration and union labor,
they can readily see the necessity OF
overthrowing the party responsible
for this sad condition. With me, like
Phillip B. Steward of Colorado
Springs and Jno. F. Vivian of Golden,
feel assured that if they are given
the proper support from former Re
publicans of my people, that there
will be fair divisions and favorable
consideration given my people, should
the party win. l agree with you that
this is not the time for personal griev'
ances to take the place Of party af'
filiations.
Trusting that you and the more
conservative men of my race may be
able to keep them in line by careful
persuasion, and from time to time in
your valuable paper pointing out to
them the mistake they would make
if they proved traitors at this time to
the party, | am, as ever,
Yours very truly,
HARRY COWELL.
