ASSIGNED TO new DUTIES.
Lieut.. Col. Jadwin, Completing
Four-Year Term in Washing
ton, Is Transferred.

An important change has been or
dered in the office of Gen. Kingman,
chief of engineers at the War Depart
ment. 1t involves the relief of Lieut..
Col. Edgar Jadwin. in charge OF the
miscellaneous division, which includes
Jurisdiction over all engineering Ques-
tions affecting federal works in the
District of Columbia, and his transfer
to Pittsbuig, Pa, to take charge of
river and harbor works in that vicini-
ty Col. Jadwin's relief Is due solely
to the operation of the so-called Man
chu law, which prohibits officers of the
army from retaining station in this
city for more than four years at a
time. He came here on December Is.
1911, and his time was up on the 18th
instant. He was actively identified
with the construction of the Panama
canal for several years, and by spe-
cial act of Congress is entitled to re-
tirement in an advanced grade.
Gen. Kingman Expresses Regret.
Gen. Kingman has expressed regret
at the loss of his services here. but
said he had no discretion in the mat
ter. Col. Jadwin will be succeeded at
the War Department by Lieut.. Col.
Charles Keller, who has been stationed
at Mobile. Ala. for more than two
years. Lieut.. Col Francis R. Skunk,
who has been in charge of the Pitts
burgh district for the past three years.
probably will be transferred to duty
at St. Paul. MINI.
1t also is probable that Maj. George
B. Pillsbury, now at New London,
Conn, will be transferred to Los
Angeles. Cal. vice Maj. Robert r. Ray
mond. recently transferred to Honolulu.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, December 30.--The cot
ton market opened steady today at q
decline of 2 points on January. but
generally 2 to 5 points higher in re-
sponse to relatively steady cables. The
opening decline on January was prob
ably due to reports that further notices
were in circulation, but 1t was soon
learned that this mornings tenders
amounted to only 200 bales and the
market improved right after the open
ing on renewed buying of March by
houses with foreign connections and
covering of shorts. Active months sold
the end of the first hour.
Prominent English statisticians have
slightly reduced their earlier esti-
mates of the worlds consumption of
American cotton for the season. but
still place the total at 14,250,000 bales,
including s,650.00o for Great Britain
and 100000 for the continent.
Futures opened steady; January. II SO;
March. 1928; May. 1851; July. 1885;
October, 1880.
Liverpool was a heavy buyer Of
March and May during the first hour
and there was an active scattering de-
mand which seemed to come partly
from shorts. with the advance encour-
aged by reports of better export de-
mand, both in the southwest and east
ern belt sections.
January contracts sold up to 12.11,
March to 1899 and May to 1852. or
about 15 to II points above last nights 8
closing figures. Demand then seemed
to become less active and the market
was comparatively quiet at midday,
but continued steady within a point or
two of the best.

PLANS SWIFT DEsTR0YERs,
Navy's New Types Will Have Speed
of Forty-One Miles an Hour.

Plans for two types of motor boat
submarine destroyers, designed to have
a speed of at least forty-one miles an
hour, have been submitted to the Navy
Department. Models will be construct
ed at once at the navy yard here and
tested to determine whether the en-
gines the designers propose to install
will develop power for the required
high speed.
The boats are primarily intended to
be carried aboard capital ships. two to
a battleship or cruiser. and to form an
inner protective screen against sub
marines when a feet or squadron is
at anchor or cruising slowly on sta
tion at sea. From the experiments
with these craft, however. a standard
type Of motor boat for anti-submarine
patrol duty along the coasts and OF
harbor entrances in time of war prob
ably will be developed.

castle. bringing the price to S1.75.
while cents additional to Cabell made

that this latest addition to the price
would bring out stocks now in the
hands Of producers. which are badly
needed by the refineriss because of the
tremendous demand for Oil for domes-
tic and foreign use.

AFTER OYSTER DEALERS.
Government May Prosecute Those
Who Add Fresh Water to Bivalves.

Prosecution of oyster dealers found
guilty of the practice of adding fresh
water to shucked oysters SO as to
greatly increase their size in violation
of the food and drugs act will be rec
commended by the Department Of Agri-
culture.
This was announced today bv the
department. which said that consider
able evidence is being collected by its
inspectors regarding the traffic in
ter-soaked oysters. AS soon as COM
pleted the evidence will be turned over
to the Department of Justice. with a
view to prosecution. it was added.
The addition of water to oysters
lowers their food value in the depart
ment's opinion. which holds that such
oysters are adulterated within the
meaning of the food and drugs act.
