BIG WARSHIP
RUNS ASHORE
Continued from page /

the main road from New York to the
shore resorts.
The storm, according TO fishermen. is
worse than that which devastated Sea
Bright last winter. Although the sum-
mer homes that face the ocean at Sea
Bright are in no immediate danger, il
is feared, unless the wind shifts to-
day. that the new bulkheads will col
lapse.
At Normandie, where the ocean now
meets the river, the summer homes Of
Secretary Of War Lindley Garrison,
George Holmes and VI. p. McDermott
are surrounded with water, which is
rushing into the cellars and undermin-
ing the foundations. The cottage of 2.
Hall Packer was in danger Of being
washed out TO sea late last night.
South Shrewsbury River, between the
main shore road and the ocean, has
reached the highest point in its his
tory. The water has Lacked up into
the cellars of fifty cottages between
Sea Bright and Highlands.
Wooden bulkheads at Highlands were
washed away, and tie boardwalk was
carried out to sea. Eight bathing
houses we're also swept away, and the
back water bulkhead on the east side
of the Peninsula Hotel was demolished
MANY boats have been torn loose rom
their river moorings and are now float
ing out 10 sea.
The condition of the roads prevented
all but the Seabright Fire Department
from reaching a blaze in the Hotel Nor
mandie. at Normandie. Thousands of
dollars worth Of furniture and rugs
WAS DESTROYED. the total damage reach
ing $4,000. The hotel was built by
Richard Croker, and was once the
rendezvous of Tammany politicians.
Late last night at Atlantic City the
storm had undermined the $4,000 ball
room on the end Of the Steel Pier TO
such an extent that the end OF the
pier was chopped off in the hope. of
saving a part Of the structure when
the ballroom building is swept away.
Two hundred men worked all night 70
save the pier. The loss, IL was stated,
amounted to 100000 at midnight.
The Coney Island shore from Man
haitian beach TO Sea Gate felt the
effect of the storm, and benches and
minor buildings were washed out 10
sea. A sixty-five-foot sloop, grounded
off Brighton Beach since Tuesday, was
pounded TO pieces.
At Sea Gate the new bulkheads are
expected to hold off the water.
The purposed trials Of the Sperry
gyroscope at Bayside for the benefit OF
a representative OF the Russian govern
ment were postponed indefinitely be-
cause of the gale.

BANKERS WIN IN
MORATORIUM SUIT
Cullen Says Lazard Freres
Were Not Obliged to
Accept Delay.

Former Chief Judge Edgar VI. Gull
len, of the Court of Appeals, in re-
port as arbitrator gives his conclu-
sions on the effect of the English mora
torium on a financial transaction in
New York. a loan made in this city to
be paid in bills of exchange on Lon
don.
A dispute over the effect Of the
moratorium arose between the banking
firm of Lazard Freres and l.. Nogel-
stein g. Co., metal dealers, at AZ Broad
way. over a loan of sl25,000. The loan
was made on May 10 last, and was COW
cred by collateral security. Vogelstein
g. Co. agreed to pay the bills, which
were for ninety days, at least three
DAYS before their maturity in London
at the bankers rate Of exchange in
London.
About a month after the first loan
was made the metal concern borrowed
$50. 600 additional under a similar agree
ment.
On August , King George declared
the moratorium.
Lazard Freres, three days before the
first bills would have matured but for
MORATORIUM
amount 10 pay the bills of exchange
at the prevailing rates.
Vogelstein G. Co. at first refused TO
pay, on the ground that the obligation
had been extended by the moratorium.
Finally the borrowers did pay, upon
an agreement with the bankers to sub
NIT the matter to arbitration. Between
the time payment was demanded and
the date the matter was submitted TO the
arbitration of Judge Cullen the price
of exchange on London had fallen per-
ceptibly.
il was contended by Vogelstein &
Co. that Lazard Freres should not be
permitted to take advantage Of the
extraordinary condition prevailing
and enrich themselves az the metal
firms expense. Judge Cullen has de-
cided the bankers did not do so.
Judge Cullen says that, while the
contract was made in New York, its
construction is that Vogelstein e. Co.
were not bound to settle with the
bankers any specific number Of days
after the bills of exchange were pre-
sented in London, but three days be-
fore the bills matured. He held that
il was settled law that the time for
the payment of bill is TO be calcu-
lated according 10 the law OF the coun-
try where the bill is made.
Discussing the effect of the mora
forum on the bills in question, Judge
Cullen says that it was left optional
with debtors 10 avail themselves
Of the extension OF credit, and that
this option was vested IN Lazsrd
Freres, because theirs was the primary
liability on the bills.
The relation of Lszard Freres. Judge
Cullen decided. was not such that they
were compelled to accept the delay
afforded by the moratorium, although
at the maturity of the bills the rate
was abnormally high, and since then
had fallen.
Gwen now it varies TO some ex-
tent" says Judge Cullen, 'as victory
seems TO incline in favor Of one or
the other Of the warning nations"

FOREIGN SAMPLES
New England Makers Turn Out
Cloths Superior to Those
Thew Initiate.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 6.-The New
England cotton goods markets were
relatively quiet last week. Buyers man
ifested only slight interest in market
conditions, and when business became
an actual thing purchasers endeavored
TO induce the manufacturers TO con-
cede something, which was done in
many cases.
All millmen are agreed that there
has been altogether too much price
cutting, but they appreciate the fact
that il is matter which cannot be
taken up without bringing about COM
plications. II is generally admitted.
too, that price reductions have demon
allied what little trading there has
been, and so long as this condition OBJ
tains prospective buyers will talk con-
cessions with every purchase.
The demand last week was largely
for wide and medium wide counts.
These cloths have held the major at
tention of buyers for some time past.
The fine goods markets are not active,
although there is healthy undercur-
rent
It is becoming a common thing for
New York factors 10 send swatches OF
cloth made abroad 70 Fall River mills
with instructions 10 have these pieces
Of cloth duplicated, and in considers-
bly, more than a majority Of instances
local mills have been successful in
producing cloths which in some cases
have proved superior TO the foreign
cloths, but in nearly all cases just az
good. This condition, as the result OF
the European war, has served 10
acquaint factors in New York, Boston
and other large centres with the fact
that Just as good textile materials can
be manufactured in New England as
abroad.
While il is true that no unusually
large business has resulted from dupli-
eating foreign goods, still when the
proper time comes IL will be found
that New England mills will be thor
oughly equipped TO manufacture goods
that are desired.
The total sales last week for goods
of print cloth yarn construction are
estimated at $4,000 pieces, of which
about $4,000 pieces are spots. Prices
for goods figuring In last weeks busi-
ness have been irregular. Quotations:

In Other Markets.

There were signs of strength IN the
late trading in coffee, and prices ad-
vanced, both for spots and futures.
There was not much demand, however,
as spectators are cautious, and the
consuming trade is operating on the
plan of supplying immediate and press
ing wants and nothing more.
The country produce markets have
shown several declines, notably in but
tcr and qualities of eggs below the
fancy standards, with sharp drop in
the poultry markets, and some re-
auctions in fruits and vegetables. The
livestock and dressed meat trades have
also been weaker, some of the best
cuts of beef being quoted at reduction
Of a half cent pound by leading
hacker. Prime veal and lamb, however,
have held strong. and some higher fig
ures have been named in instances.
Copper has made the principal ad-
vance in the metal markets. although
Tin. both here and in England, has been
6rm and advancing. There arc signs Of
marked Improvement in the trade, ow-
ing 10 an increased call for manufact-
ured products making welcome de-
mand on raw supplies. The foreign de-
mand for barbed wire, in 10000 ton
lots, is a NAKED feature Of the trade.

It was drOll bit OF mimicry that
once entertained the Duke Of yelling

1923. The duke told Raikes, and Raikes
told the world: II found him in bed
dressed in dirty silk jacket and q
turban nightcap. The first words he
said to me were. Arthur, the cabinet IL
defunct,' and then he began to describe
the manner In which the late ministers
