GERMANG COTTON INDUSTRY
 REPORTED EXTREMELY QUIET
Raw Materials Hardly Used at All
 Except for Army Purposes.

Frankfort, Germany, Dec. 1o-The Frankfort zeitung publishes the fol- lowing report of conditions in the German cotton industry, dated from Munchen- -Gladbach, Nov. II:
 During the past three months bus mess in the German cotton industry has been extremely quiet. Meanwhile the use of cotton and cotton waste las been regulated in such way that these raw materials can hardly be used at all except for army purposes. Consequently the existing stocks of yarn having been used up, and the transition period having expired. the free activity of most of the mills is checked, and the closing of a number of spinning and weaving mills la to be expected; in some cases, indeed, it has already taken place, During the past three months cotton has been uncommoniy dear In Germany. The price of middiinR in tho open market at Bremen was about double the price at the beginning of August, 1914,

buyers it is said that enormous stocks of cotton waste have accumu- lated in Lancashire and also in BOm bay.
 Employment in the German cot ton spinning mills has fallen off very much in consequence of the official regulations. Yarns are no longer de livered except to purchasers who can prove that they will be used for the carrying out of army contracts, and as such orders are not on very great scale business is stagnant. Deliveries are kept within the narrOwest limits and there have been very few bar gains during the last few months. Business in imitation and fancy yarns is rather more active, as it is also in the mills which produce two cylinder yarn, because these businesses can use the various kinds of cotton waste the employment of which is permitted by the regulations A large number, however, of cotton, cotton waste and also imitation mills have preferred to stop work.
 The position in the German cotton weaving industry has been unfavor- able during the past three months. Production for military require ments is, with comparatively few ex- captions, forbidden. Orders for the military authorities were only of mod crate extent in August and Septem- Der. It was only during October that blanket business became more active. Almost the whole existing stocks of cotton blankets were taken up by the military authorities, and new orders were given. There is also a strong demand at present for sandbag mate rials. Many concerns have devoted themselves to this business, and are employing in it most of their spindles. the busiest concerns are those which produce bandages and hospital re- Quirements, many of them being sup piled with orders until next spring.

COTTON WEAVING AND
 SPINNING IN CHINA
Thirty Year Contract Cancelled in
 Three Provinces.

Peking, Dec. 1O.-President Yuan Shi-kai has approved a memorial which cancels the thirty year monop- oily of cotton weaving and spinning in the provinces of Chihli, Shantung and Honan, which was recently granted to the Hua-Hsin Weaving company.
 Behind this memorial lies an inter- csting international complication. As soon as the announcement of the mo- nopoly was made Japan protected, in sisting that the rights of foreigners in the three provinces were aggravat- ed by the monopoly. It was also said to violate French treaties dating back to the middle of last century.
 With the present international movement against Yuan sShi-kais re- establishment of the monarchy, the president naturally did not wish to in vite further controversy over the Far Eastern affairs and cancelled the monopoly in great haste.
 The Hua Hsin Weaving company originally announced that it will be capitalized for ten million dollars Mexican, with forty per cent. of this amount subscribed by the Chinese government. While the promoters of the plan have not announced its abandonment, under present condi- tions it is unlikely that the enterprise will be carried through

REALIZATION
Committee Secures the Necessary
Funds to Guarantee Expense;
Census and Survey Will
be Made at Once.

Lordsburg will no doubt be in
corporated by the first of the new
year. On Tuesday of this week the
incorporation committee secured
the funds (S100.00) necessary to
guarantee the board of county COM
missioners that all expenses of
taking the census and making the
plat of the proposed town will be
cared for.
Several months ago a petition
containing a list of a majority of
the legal qualified voters was pre-
sented the county commissioners.
They instructed that the petition
be filed and accepted awaiting the
census taking by Constable Oscar
Allen and the making of a town
survey by County Engineer F. L.
Cox. This has all been arranged
for now and as soon as the commits
sioners order this work Lordsburg
will know definitely whether she
Is incorporated or not.
The petitions for incorporation
will be compared with the census
and If majority of the legal vo-
ters have signed the petition the
election Of town council will take
place Immediately.
During the past week many more
names have been added to the pc
titions for incorporation and those
who advocate town organization
are more than confident that they
will win out against the opposition.
All that can be done toward MAX
