WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Period Less Active With Irregu- lar FluctuatiOns-More Ex- ports are Expected Account of Diminishing Liverpool Stocks.

New York, Nov. 19.-The cotton market has been less active during the past week with fluctuation irregular. Reports of killing temperature in the belt and bullish view of Saturday consumption figures were followed by a spurt of buying, which carried the price of January contracts up to 11.95 on Monday, but it was evidently con- sidered rather late in the season for frost to materially influence sentiment and reactions of 30 or 35 points follow ed under realizing and scattered pres sure.
 The publication of private crop es- inmates of 12,0OO,0OO bales or over, in- cluding lnters, failed to inspire ag- gressive selling at the decline and the market showed steadier tone toward the end of the week in sympathy with Southern spot markets and talk of moderate ginning returns.
 Purchases of about 35,000 bales at tributed to Russian trade interests helped check the decline the middle of the week, while the frmer ruling of sterling exchange and gradually dim finishing stocks at Liverpool have tend- ed to color the predictions of an inn proved demand from exporters.
 Recent reports that the Suez canal had been closed were denid by Lon don, but while the rumors had figured in bullish arguments their denials seemed to attract little attention, and a good part of the week has been at tributed to transfer of Liverpool and local spot into late months into the evening up of accounts for over the census ginning figures expected on Monday.
 Private returns were said to indicate a ginning of about S,730,00O bales tc November II, these figures being con- sidered by some of the local statisti- clans as closely in line with 1910, when the amount ginned to November IA was S,7S0,000 bales and for the first November period 1,434 ,4S0 bales. A considerable difference of opinion re- mained in evidence as to the probable showing of the government chop es- innate due on December 10, however and there was a feeling around the ring that sentiment in that respect might be influenced by Mondays off cial ginning figures.

SERBIANS AND
 GREECE OF INTEREST
Lively Artillery Engagements Have Marked Portions of the Fronts Other than the Near East. Serbia may Make Stand.

London, Nov. 19.-The continued retreat of the Serbian army and the attitude of Greece toward the entente powers are still the outstanding ques- tion of interest in Europe.
 It is thought possible that the Ser bians will make stand on the his toric plain of Kossovo, east of the Montenegrin frontier where over five hundred year ago they lost their in- dependence to Turkey.
 The must either do this or retire into the mountains of Montenegro or northern Albania where although they would be nearer help from the Adriatic it would be difficult to keep them supplied owing to the absence of roads.
 The Austro- Germans in the north are now within thirty miles of the Mitrovitza-Pristina line of the Serb ians while the Bulgarians in the South are said already to have passed Mon astir. As to the position of Greece there has been no development al- though a more hopeful feeling prevails in Parish and London since Denys Cochin's visit to King Constantine and the Greek ministers.
 There have been lively artillery en- agreements in Alsace and at some oth- CT points on the west. In the east the Germans report there is no change in the situation while Petrograd claims repuIses of the Geymans on the Dvina and Styr rivers. The Italians are still hammering away at the Aus trian positions on the lsonzo but while they are gaining a little from day to day they have not yet succeeded in the capture of Corizia which has again been under heavy shell fire for several days.
 A dispatch to a London newspaper quotes the Russian premier as hay ing said that Russia intends to place millions of additional troops in the field and that there was necessity for redoubled exertions by the people to provide needful equipment and muni- tions.

New York, Nov. 19-A Paris dis patch early this month said Charles Kurzmann of New York was in Paris to select gowns for the wedding of President Wilson and Mrs. Gait.

MRS. GALT'S WEDDING GOWNS
 CAUSE ROW IN PARIS

Paris, Nov. 19-10:10 a. m.-The Paris dressmakers' syndicate has black-listed two American customers of German origin, one of them man named Kurzmann, reputed to have been commissioned to buy gowns for Mrs. Norman Gait, who is to become the bride of President Wilson, accord ing to Gustav Tery's newspaper, L'Oeuvre.
 The newspaper says Kurzmann has threatened to raise diplomatic ques- tion because of the modistes' refusal to accept orders from him. L'Oeuvre declares, however, that each house from which he obtained gowns has offered to supply them with it's com pliments to Mrs. Galt, without hav- ing them pass through the hands of an intermediary.
 Paul Poiret, president of the dress makers syndicate, is absent from Paris. His confidential secretary, however, confirmed the statement that Kurzmann has threatened to raise a diplomatic question over the declina- tion of the modistes to fill his orders for gowns, which he maintains are in tended for Mrs. Galt.
 "You may declare that no members of our syndicate will deliver kowns to Kurzmann or through Kurzmann or to any other German house." said the secretary. "At the same time each or every member of the syndicate would be proud to be honored with a commission to make gown for President Wilson's fiancee, and would be most happy if permitted to present it with it's compliments"
 Rue De La Paix and other leading houses refuse to state whether or not they have received orders for gowns for the Presidents fancee. Some of them say, however, that they have had orders from Kurzmann which they are unable to fill, in consequence of the de- cision of the syndicate, All express regret that such an incident has come up, and say they hope it will cause no annoyance to President Wilson. They are endeavoring to dispose of the matter without too much publicity, but declare that they cannot overturn the decision of their representative body.
