FREIGHT RATES ON COTTON.
Big Increase by Ocean Transports
ton Noted at Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Ca, December Bow
ing to the scarcity Of neutral ships and
the risks connected with transportation,
transatlantic freight rates OH cotton
from Savannah have reached new high
records, according to local exporters The
average price of cotton here is about $35
per bale and the freight rate to Bremen
is quoted at approximately half the value
Of the cotton.
Ocean freight rates on cotton now
compared with normal times are quoted
by exporters as follows:
To Bremen, now $1s.75. formerly
$1.75 per bale; to Rotterdam, $3.50,
against $S.75: to Gothenberg. SLIPS,
against SO: to Havre, $3.50, against 50;
to Liverpool and Manchester, s4.S5,
against $1.75; to Genoa. $3.50, against
$2.75: to Barcelona. SIS. against s3.25.
Cotton factors here pointed out that
the effect of the enormous increase in
freight rates was largely responsible
for the low price the staple now is
bringing in domestic markets. 1t would
be impossible. they said, to pay more
than $35 a bale here, meet the high
freight charges and sell the cotton at
even a modest profit in European mar
ketS.

NAVY YARD PAY TO STAND.
Daniels Decides to Main
tain Present Schedules.

Secretary Daniels announced today that
after thorough investigation he had
come TO the conclusion that labor condi-
tions affecting wages throughout the coun-
try have not experienced any essential
change during the past year, and he has.
therefore, decided to continue the same
schedules at the navy yards during the
coming year"
This. will be good news to the en-
ployes of the Washington navy yard. who
were apprehensive that the wages of
machinists and certain other artisans were
to be reduced at the rate of cents a
day, the effect of which reduction would
be to wipe out almost entirely the Z
per cent raised authorized by Congress
over a year ago. The naval wage board
based it's recomme ndations for a slight
reduction in various trades on the ba :
sis of the wages paid for similar work
by private establishments In this
vicinity.

FROM 100000, 900 LOAN

NEW YORK, December S0.-The 124
local banks and trust companies which
subscribed to the $100,000,000 New
York City 6 per cent one, two and
three year note Issues last September

checks representing these profits to
the participants, but the managers

no pecuniary benefit.
In addition to the profit to the SUBJ
scribers the city of New York will re-
ceive a sum estimated at between $780,
900 and $50O,O0O, which represents the
net profits accruing from the sale the

Trading was on a diminishing scale
however, the entire mornings business

Der 80, 1855 a.m.-German prisoners Of
war work cheerily at the side of their
armed French guardians in repairing
the much damaged national highways
in this region, just to the rear of the
colossal battle front. The prisoners
are on the best terms with their cap
tors, who good-naturedly share cigar
cites, whiffs from their pipes and other
luxuries with their erstwhile foes.
The prisoners remain only short
time in this neighborhood. AS soon
as sufficient number is taken to fill
a train the captives are dispatched to
some town on the coast or in the in

In this region there is much activity

interspersed with columns of troops
proceeding gayly to the front to take

Prefer Trenches to Idling.
The soldiers march at a swinging
gait toward the firing line. Without
exception they express a preference for
work in the trenches rather than re-
naming idly at their billets. While
d
distance to the rear they have moth
ing to occupy their time, which drags
wearily.
They say that aside from the time

The postal service is very uncertain,

rest of the world.

iard frost, turning the roads into long
skating rinks on which the heavy mo-

Thousands of men are engaged in
throwing earth over the CLASSY sur
faces in order to avoid interruption Of
the transportation of supplies. Before
the frost set in the roads were like
quagmires, owing to the frequent
rains.
Men Are Remarkably Cheerful.
Under the extremely trying condi-

commanders are remarkably cheerful
and confident, and never utter a word
of complaint.
Along the battle front, in the region
OF Arras and st. Eloy, the position of
the troops has scarcely varied foot

occupied for three months.
The possession of Arras is of great
est Importance to the allies. who are
holding it with remarkable tenacity,
although opposed by great forces of
Germans under the command of Gen.
Count Won Arnim, commander of the
4th Army Corps. and the Crown Prince

Every moment is a perilous one

BANK FILES ANSWER
IN INJUNCTION SUIT
Challenges Right Of Lewis johnson
& Co. Receivers to Stop Sale
of Securities.
District National Claims Lawful
Control Of the Paper It Holds
as Collateral.

The District National Bank filed an
swer today to the suit for an injunction
brought against it last Monday by the
receivers Of Lewis johnson & Co.. to
prevent the sale by auction of certain
securities held by the bank as collateral
for loans made to the bankrupt firm or
its members.
The financial institution. through Az
torneys Barnard & Johnson and Whar-
ton Z. Lester. challenge the right OF the
receivers to bring the proceeding. Iney
point out the order of court transferred
to J. Miller Kenyon and w. MOTIFS
hammond only the assets Of the firm OF
Lewis johnson & Co., and not the as
sets of the individual members OF the
firm.
Some Of its dealings. the bank states,
were with j. William Henry, and the
securities were received by the bank
as collateral without any knowledge
Of any infirmities or claims OF otners'
Since the failure Of the brokers' II Is
alleged, several suits have been nIed' IN
which ownership Of some of the securl-
ties are being claimed by outsiders.
Claims Right to Sell Securities.
Under the provisions of the coilat-
eral notes, the bank claims, 1t Is en-
titled to make sale Of the securities TO
reimburse itself for the money loaned.
Until its claims have been satisneo' IL
asserts, the receivers or even trustee
in bankruptcy would have no right 10
the securities.
The interest of the bankrupts. If any,
is only in the excess of the proceeds OF
sale, say counsel for the bank.
The defendant answers the CRITICISM
contained in the bill Of the receivers
about the form of the advertisement OF
sale and about the time and place. the
court is advised that sales by auction
are not permitted on the stock ex-
change and that it has been the Gus,
tom for years to foreclose collateral
notes by selling the securities IN a
regular auction room. The one Sc
lected, the bank states, Is most CEN
trally located and is we'll equipped to
handle such sales.
The bank denies that the time is in
auspicious for sale and questions
whether a delay in the sale would
cause higher price to be realized for
the securities. The advertisement con-
tanned all needed Information. it is
urged, and any addition would have
merely increased it's cost and lessened
the amount realized at the sale.
