The German ambassador at St.

listers in Paris the same evening
was informed that Germany had
declared war against Russia they
met President Poincare hurriedly
at the Elysee palace. 1t was an
nonnced at once that the MOBILIZE
alton of the French army would
begin at midnight and would
be completed at 1859 Sunday
night.

unable as yet to import from South
America and Australia.
Timed and barreled meats, prin-
clpally pork, are especially adaptable
to army use. Firms manufacturing
these commodities are not giving quo
tatiohs on them; stocks in this coun-
try are too limited. We cannot man
u%facture goods fast enough for the
demand. We Were caught with low
stocks, which means sky high prices
on these goods"
A comparison, of retail meat prices
shows an increase since last week.

JAPAN'S COTTON
 INDUSTRY GROWS
Demald for American Cotton In,
 cre.ses as Mills Expand-Good China Trade.

washington Sept. 3.-With the ex- ception or lnd'a, China is the greatest importer of cotton goods in the world, ana Manchuria has long been one of 'he pest markets for American cotton goods. In recent years, however, Jap anese competitions has seriously cur tailed American sales in that field. 1 me chief factors n the development or the cotton industry in Japan and that country's success in the Chinese market are summarized in a bulletin just issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.. department l.Of commerce, as follows:
 In the upbuilding of the Japanese cotton industry the mills have been greatly hampered by lack of money and experience, as well as by the lack of skilled operatives and the difficulty, under their system of tran sient girl operatives, of creating and maintaing trained force. The first cost of the mills is so great that, with high interest charges and high taxes, which hahve been greatly increased since the Russian war, the manufac- turers have resisted all attempts by 1 the authorities to enact regulations | that would interfere with night work. 1 The mills have been greatly fav- ored by supply of extremely cheap labor and by freedom from laws pro- hibiting long working hours. They have also been enabled to keep down the cost of raw material by varying the mixings and thus setting off one cotton against another in way that is not permissible in countries mak- ing the higher classes of goods that require single.xgrade of cotton.
 Most of~ the yarns and cloths pro- duced by Japanese mills are made from mixture of Indian, American and Chinese cotton, and the low cost of raw material thus obtained seems to aid the manufacturers in their struggle for the Chinese market as much as does their cheaper labor especially as the labor is very inef- ficient Japan ships cotton yarns and cotton goods to many countries, but its one large market is China, where it finds competition on yarn from India and cloth from the United States. The publications of the Japan Cotton Spinners' association, as well as remarks by spinners, indicate tha, they fear, the: future. competition :oi Chinese mills more than they do tht American and Indian. The Chinese cotton industry is small but develop. ing. and if the tariff is raised, as now proposed, the Chinese may quickly be. come strong factor in the situation
