LOCAL COTTON AND YARN
BUSINESS CONTINUES GOOD
Conditions in Other Lines Are Also
Fine-Collection Fair

Conditions in the local cotton and cotton
yarn trade are still in very satisfactory
state from the dealers standpoint, &C.
cording to the weekly trade review of y.
G. Dun & Co. A large volume of business
is being DONE especially in the higher
grades of yarns used for weaving. Busi-
ness in the lower grades, especially the
knitting yarns, is not quite so active.
Prices are firm and steady and 1t is be.
lieved that the present good demand will
continue for some time.
The wool market has developed no inn
portant changes during the last week.
Manufacturers are still we'll supplied with
stocks of wool. The mills all appear to
be busy, and dealers are confident that
they will need additional large stocks Of
wool in the near future. Prices are gen.
orally firm and conditions in this line of
trade appear TO be generally satisfac-
tory.
Shrtwaist manufacturers continue ac.
tive There continues, however. some
difficulty in obtaining labor. Manufac'
turers of mems clothing, etc, have also
been handicapped somewhat by the labor
situation and have been unable to make
their deliveries promptly.
The iron and steel market continues TO
show activity and business continues ac-
tive Mills are working to full capacity.
The demand for finished product in nearly
all lines is strong, though heavy structural
material Is reported to be not moving as
actively as the others. High prices have
tendency to discourage large building
operations.
Shipbuilding continues brisk and COM
panies are reported booked ahead for six
months. Locomotive builders are also
well employed. Dealers in electrical goods
report n satisfactory volume of business.
Prices are reported firm and collections
are fair.
Local lumber wholesalers are well
pleased with the situation in general, nj.
though it is reported that building opera
tions do not promise as well as hoped for.
AS a general rule, prices are several dol
lars higher than they were at this time
last year.
The leather market is firm and active
and only moderate stocks are reported on
hand. Glazed kid is in demand and
prices for raw material and finished
leather are high Shoe dealers report
fairly good trade, although the tendency
to buy in small quantities continues.
The weather conditions the past week
somewhat retarded the starting of new
building operations The estimated cost
of operations for which permitted were is
sued was about 100000 less than the prev
ious week, but wass nearly 100000 in
excess of corresponding week in 1915.
Conditions generally in the wholesale
grocery line are satisfactory. Prices are
firm certain kinds of canned goods are
high and collections normal. Retailers re-
port satisfactory business conditions.

The continued advance in the price of
bar silver, both in New York and London,
has attracted a great deal of attention.
Again today the price of the white metal
was boosted, the quotation in New York
being advanced nc. to 63Ac. per ounce,
while in London IL sold Md. higher at
80 I'D. Both prices are high for the pres
ent movement. The market is indeed in
very strong position. and the demand
for the metal is large.
A man conversant with the trade said
today that recent offerings of the metal
by producers have been smaller In volume
than at any time that he could recall in
recent years. "All advices Indicate" he
said, that there are no stocks of conse-
quence being held. Abroad the stocks are
reported as extremely low, while buying
by the English and other European mints
for foreign coinage purposes is large"
The further advance in the metal had no
effect on the mining stocks on the Phila-
delphia Stock Exchange. Tonopah Min
ing rose only a small fraction, while Tono-
pah Belmont was unchanged.
Clearings through the banks continue In
very satisfactory volume and indicate the
prevalence of unprecedented business
activity In all parts of the country, the
total this week at the principal cities in

CHICAGO, April 14.-Considerable
nervousness was in evidence in the wheat
market this morning over the Washing
ton diplomatic situation, but. after weak
ness at the start, prices rallied quite
smart1y.
May. after opening at Sl16A to
s1.l5M. rose to $1.17h before the end Of
the first half hour. against s1161a at the
close yesterday; July opened at S1.14%
10 s1.14, but moved up TO $11515. against
$t.14h at the end yesterday; September
started at SILK to s1.11A but advanced
to Sl.12A. compared with Sill z. yester-
days last price.
The market at Liverpool was affected
by the decline on this side yesterday and
predictions of large arrivals in the United
Kingdom.
A favorable view was taken OF the an
nouncement of the settlement of the Dutch
steamship strike. The Continent contin-
ued to absorb export offers. Tonnage
continues scarce and this was responsible
for some apprehension abroad.
Shipments from Argentina for the week
were 2,05s,000 bushels. The visible supply
there Is 11,40S,000 bushels Receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth today were 263
cars, against 13l cars last year: at
Chicago 1s1 cars. against AZ cars at Win
nipeg 524 cars, compared with 219 cars
Corn also moved upward after an easier
start. Large deliveries on May contracts
were forecast The market at Liverpool
was firm. Shipments from Argentina for
the week were 65S.OOO bushels. The
visible supply there Is 2,737,00O bushels

LONDON STOCK MARKET
American Department Is Hit by Ger.
man and Mexican Crises

LONDON, April 14.-Trading In secur-
tiles on the Stock Exchange was fairly
brisk today and the markets generally
were firm.
Gilt-edge issues were strong and higher
on the confirmation of purchase by
Dutch interests of $1,000, 900 yearly treas
ury bills against purchases of sugar by
Great Britain in Java.
Because of the gravity Of German and
Mexican affairs the American department
was heavy and lower. Canadian Pacific
was affected sympathetlcally, but Grand
Trunks were firm.
Alterations in home railway shares
were confined to fractions and were mixed.
Mexican railway shares were feverish.
Argentine rails were fiat. The foreign de-
partment was steady. The French loan
was hard, Notwithstanding a further rise
in French exchange.
Iron and steel shares were irregular on
the fixing of maximum prices for these
metals by the Government.
Oils were dull Royal Dutch descrip-
ticns were easier. Mines were quiet.

COTTON is MORE ACTIVE,
WITH HIGHER PRICES
Demand Sufficient to Hold Market in
Check Against Pressure

NEW YORK, April 14.-Business was
more active at the opening on the Cotton
Exchange this morning and the tone was
firm with prices TO points higher. There
was some good buying in the market from
many sources and the selling was scat
tered with the exception that Liverpool
continued to supply various months. es-
pecially January, as in the last few days.
After the call. pressure was continued,
but the demand was sufficient to hold
the market in check and at the end of the
first 15 minutes prices were but 1 point
under the start
Liverpool came about as due on near
months, showing losses of l point, but
on October and January prices were IL a
points lower or slightly below expecta-
tions. Private cables stated that the mar
ket was steady, with no selling pressure
in evidence.
There was some rainfall in Texas,
Oklahoma and northern Alabama this
morning, but elsewhere conditions were

PARIS, April 14.-The war troubled
many business relations and a morato-
rum was declared for commercial affairs,
but there Is another moratorium that
the law did not establish. 1t declared
itself spontaneously. This is the rent
moratorium. Nearly all small leasehold-
ers have ceased to pay rent and many
grave than the other, because the COM
mercial moratorium was limited, while
the rent moratorium, like the brook, goes
on and on and the size of the debt in
creases every three months.
The Chamber of Deputies, therefore.
has taken up this question, and now pro.
poses to pass n law establishing tribunals
which can wipe out all or any part of
rents for the whole period of the war
and until six months after peace, basing
this decision on the losses of the renter,
suffered through war This will relieve
the majority, Of the commercial houses,
either whole or in part. of the necessity
of paying rent. But there is n further
blanket clause that wipes out all arrears
of rent for those who do not pay more
than 600 francs n year, ana gives them
rent free to six months after peace. This
assures that soldiers and their families
will not be turned out Of their homes, but
will also be heavy blow to many small
proprietors whose whole income comes
from little places renting for COO francs
or less annually.
There will have to be another morator-
ium added for the benefit of these little
proprietors. Moreover, the rent morator.
ium will furnish another handle for the
Socialists in the future
