 It is believed also by men in post tion to know the conditions prsvail- ing, that chosa cotton grow:rs who hav:' sold have received en2ugh money to pay ,ha indebt dness against them for the past two or threa years, have had money left ever with which to make purchases and more household and farm neces- sities, in addition 10 which 90 per cent. CT more of the farmers have th5ir pantries filled with canned or pres rved vegetables and fruits, their cellars CT other places filled with po- tatoes, their barns filled with feed stuff for their stock, and their pas lures with meat on the hoof, ready for slaughtering and the smokehouse.
 Coming ln Faster.
 Figures compiled by the Pine Bluff Cctton exchange. show receipts yes terday of 46O bales and shipments of 1890 bales. Since sept: mber i. 1915, 47219 bales of cotton have been re- ceivsd here, as against 42,601 bales to the same date last year, whil-' shipments since September l, 1915, have aggregated 2O,10S bales, as agains,. 2O,733 bales in the sam@ period last year.
 These figures indicate that while cotton is coming in to Pine Bluff somewhat mora rapidly than was the case during the larger crop year of 1914, shipments are not so heavy. In 1914, the receipts were 42,601 and the shipments 2O,733, leaving a carry over here on that score alone of 21,- S6S bales, while in 1915 the receipts have been 47,219 bales and the ship ments 20,1OS, leaving a remainder held here for the period of 27,111, a difference of 5,243 bales in favor of the present year. Even if the same ratio should not continue, the addi- tional profit likely to accrue through thie holding of this 5,243 bales will amount to a considerable figure, ac- cording to the ''bulls" who look for higher prices.

REVISION BY DEMOCRATS 10
 PROTECT LABOR
American Industries Not in Shape to Meet After War
 Conditions.
(By iona han Winfield.)

Washington, Nov. 13.-That the tariff again will assume it's tradi tional role as a protector of the in- dustries of the United States against foreign compe tition seems assured by recent developments in the political situation. And, strangely enough, it will be the Democratic party which will revive the tariff as a means of meeting international economic con- ditions certain tc arise after tho close of the European war.
 Washington is not apprehensive about the> economic readjustment after the conflict, but it is determined to leave nc stone unturntd to guard American industry against the up- heaval in trade which may come when hostilities cease. The recent contro- versy over the "anti-dumping clause" of the new antitrust laws, of which Secretary of Commerce Redfield was the central figure. was only a fore runner of the general conditions that the administration probably will be called on to face when Europe again is placed on peace fcoting.
 That labor will be cheap in Europe after the war is the claim of One school of economists; another de- clares that the shortage of men, due to the casualties of the conflict, will keep wages higher in Europe than they ever have been. It seems prob able. however, that the loss of foreign trade to the continental nations will cause most desperate efforts on the part to regain 1t, and the most potent of these efforts will be to place goods before the world at .temptingly low price. These prices will continue until foreign compet,- tors arc driven to the wall and then they will resume their normal level. It is certain that European workmen will accept almost any wage that is offered them for many months, and a tremendous. task before them to re- capture their foreign trade, or even portion of it.
 American industry, it is admitted, is in no shape to meet foreign compe- tition of this type unless the tariff is invoked 10 aid it. That is why there is more protective tariff talk in Washington today than there has been at any time since Presidant Will son came into office.

MIkADC'S SOUL IS
 PROPERLY PACIFIED
Japanese Ruler Prepares Himself to Offer to Ancestors First Fruits
 of His Reign.
(By Hugh Bays. International News
 Service Correspondent.)

Kyoto, Japan, NOV. 1.-The emperor is new preparing himself for the solemn rites which he is to perform tomorrow when he offers to his an- cestors the first fruits of his reign. Yesterday was spent in complete rest. Today the ceremony called the rite Of soul pacification was carried out.
 This ceremony is very ancient and its ritual is obscure to the most eX- pert Japanese scholars. Its purpose is to calm and settle the spirits of the ruler in propagation for the great festival tomorrow. The emperor was not present. though his spirit was invoked, toge ther with the spiri.s of the empress and the dowager em- press. Only the highest officials of the coronation commission took part,
 A ritual prayer was read reciting his majesty's divine right to the throne and seeching the gods to grant him a long and prosperous reign.
