PiF, AND CAKE. TRADE.
BUSY ALI. THE YEAR.

New York has q sweet tooth if the
steady growth in the fancy cake and
pastry trade is any criterion to so by.
New Stores are constantly being
opened. while the small baker looks
upon this as the choicest and most
prOfita BILE feature Of his business all
the year round. The demand for deS-
erts of all kinds to satisfy the crav-
ing of the consumer is steady and new
cakes are constantly being devised to
tickle the discriminating palate. -
In spite Of all novelties. however,
chocolate eclairs hold their popularity
and take first place as New YOrk's
favorite dessert. The best efforts of
ingenious bakers have cOncOcted moth
ing which pleases the consumer more
than the delicate eclairs. Vast guam
titles Of the creamy sweets are made
each day and the baker finds he sell
dom has need to carry any oyer night
for the supply is readily disposed Of.
Next to the chocolate eclair is the
chocolate layer cake as a best seller.
Time was a few years ago when the
steadily given way to the layer va
riety Jelly rolls seem to have had
| their day. and while they are popular
| in some quarters Of the town they
have not been able to hold their own
in the contest with the fancier forms
| OF pastry.
| Apple pies are in class by them
| selves as far as pies are concerned
The average baker uses the fresh ap-
pies in his product as long as possible
and good trade is assured AS soor
as he is compelled to fall back or

minish. Berries in the height Of thei1
season often give apple pie a clos.

COTTON, ESSENTIAL IN EFF
FECTIVENESS OF BIG GUNS;
Is WATCHED CAREFULLY

Washington, d. c., July 20--It re-
quires approximately one pound of
cotton to make one pound of smoke
less powder, Ninety per cent of the
powder used by European armies is
the smokeless variety The vast
amount of American cotton that is
going into explosives and the fact that
the United States produces about 65
per cent of the worlds supply furn-
ishes the chief reason for England
stopping this trade from the South to
Germany and to neutrals from which
II may be reconsigned, and explains
why Germany is offering to pay 30c
per pound for cotton, more than three
times the American market price.
Reports to the war department
show that the battle lines of the
Germanic alliance are consuming
powder at the rate of more than
3O0,O00,000 pounds per year. This
means in the neighborhood Of 100000
bales of cotton. II is assumed that
the opposition is burning an equal
amount II not more, thus furnishing
an idea of the important relation the
American staple bears to the war in
Europe. When Italy declared war on
the side OF the Allies there was $10,-
100000 worth Of American cotton in
Genoa. much Of which was destined
to Germany. Italy's declaration of
hostilities cost Germany a large
amount of material for its ammuni-
tion factories.
It is estimated that 100000 bales
of American cotton reached German
territory through neutral countries
before Italy joined the war. In ad-
dition, there was said to have been
seized a large amount Of cotton and
cotton goods in territory taken by
Germany, and with supply of am
munition on hand at the outbreak of
the war, figured all the way from
100000 to 5O,OOO,OeO pounds of gun
cotton, together with materials Ger
many has been able to import since
the war began, has brought forth the
estimate that Germany's ammunition
possibilities are Of about four years
duration.
