Business Making New Records,

Business conditions in the United
States have been summarized from spe-
cial reports from the correspondents
of the Continental and Commercial Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, the largest
banking institution in America outside
OF New York. According to these re-
ports. American business is forging
ahead in way that is highly satisfac-
tory and indicates no decided let-up,
at least until hostilities in Europe are
checked pending negotiations for peace.
At the moment this does not appear to
be possible development Of the imme-
date future. hence the outlook is bright
for a continuance of Industrial activity
IN this country for a considerable time.
AS to what will follow the war, there
seems to be wide difference of opin-
ion, but the momentum that business
has attained in the last two years. and
viii reach in the next year or SO. is
likely to be sufficient to minimize the
readjustment that many astute bankers
ana business men believe will take
place. General manufacturing is held
10 be profitable in all lines. despite a
scarcity OF labor, higher wages and
higher prices for raw materials.

record breaking pace. every line OF
industry contending with labor short
age and scarcity Of materials. Even
If the railway dispute is fortunately
settled the outlook this fall Is for the
most serious car shortage and block
ade ever known. Upon general prin-
ciples the business man breads uncer-
tainties, and so common opinion looks
to the end of the war with appre-
hension. The farther away 1t is the
the reasoning. We are reducing our
foreign debt, getting our goods into
new markets, developing new indus
tries. paying of debts and accumu-
lating capital Surely we are strength
ening our position. These are posi-
tive gains and outweigh good many
apprehensions and warnings. Prudent
people, however. cannot forget tnat
the longer present abnormal conditions
prevail the further we shall get from
the natural state of industry and trade
to which we must return when the
war is over. Wages are still advanc-
ing and the process OF adjustment 10
temporary conditions is still going on.
It is not comfortable to feel that we
are working under an unnatural sum-
ulus, and that every month OF these
conditions will make the following
reorga nization more dffffcult.
A Safe Bill Of Lad-ug.
At last, after years Of effort on the
part Of the American bankers asso-
Citations and chambers Of commerce.
Congress has passed the bill-of-lading
bill, known as the Pomerene bill. which
makes bills of lading as safe as ware
house receipts are. as evidence of the
possession of and responsibility Tor
goods.
Section % of the bill adopts rule.
long in force in our leading CONNER
cial states, which rule makes the car
rier liable to a bona fde constgnee or
banker who pays or loans money upon
a bill of lading issued by an authorised
agent, certifying the receipt OF goods.
although no goods in fact have been
received 1t rightly applies the rule
which makes the principal responsible
for the act of his authorized agent per-
formed within the scope OF his author
ity to one who relies thereon to his in
jury. This same principle applies TO
banks and other corporations which is
sue negotiable documents and there is
equal necessity that II should apply to
carriers: otherwise. the bill of lading
fails in its function as an instrument OF
credit.
Section 81 contains another important
provision. That section gives full ne
gotiability to bills Of lading and there
by affords greater protection to the dis
counting banker and to the purchaser
of the goods. Where they acquire a
bill of lading in good faith. that bill Is
made enforceable and Is not subject to
some unknown defect in the title of a
prior holder.
The Pomerene bill makes criminally
liable the person who forges bill of
lading and the agent who issues a bill
that does not represent goods. This is
a much needed reform. No punishment

Shipped to J. P. Morgan & Co.

NEW YORK. September s.-French

ments which arrived at Halifax during

The presence of French gold in these
British imports to Morgan & Co. is ac-
copied as further indication that the
Bank of England and the Bank OF
France are cooperating to strengthen
the credits of the allied nations in this
country.
The gold reported today makes a total
OF about $40,00O,00O received durin
the week, and grand total of about

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, September "a renewal
OF yesterdays covering movement caused
further rally in the cotton market
here this morning. but offerings IN
creased In the late trading and prices
broke quite sharply. December sold of
from 15.43 to 1913. and the general list
closed irregular at q net decline of 10
to II points. or at the low prices Of the
day.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of ] to 8 POINTS on overnight
buying orders. 1t was reported that
orders around the ring either late yes
terday or this morning. and the alb
sence of pressure from that source un-
doubtedly served to color private ad-
vices indicating that offerings from the
interior were being withdrawn at the
decline. Bullish reviews of the dry
goods trade were also emphasized by
the appearance of buying orders around
the nnto ring attributed & to spinners fixing
net higher shortly after the call on
covering and a renewal OF commission
house demand. This advance carried
October contracts up to 1877, January
TO 1851 and March to 1857, or about 38
to 40 points above the low level reach
ed on the break of Friday morning.
Demand seemed to slacken around 15h
cents for January. however, and the
under renewal Of southern selling
and liquidation promoted by weakness
in New Orleans October sold off to
1896. January to 1921 and March to
1886. or about 80 to 81 points from
the high level of the morning. AS
Liverpool was closed. there were no
official cables from abroad and the dis
cussion around the ring was chiefly
as to the effect of fluctuations on trade
buyers and southern spot holders.
Many Of the reports published by To-
cal firms indicated that a holding
movement had already started. but
some advices reported continued free
marketing, and the renewal Of southern
selling served to confuse sentiment late
in the morning. Port receipts today
20.456 bales; for the season. 674921.
Exports today, 21,346; for the season.
516,653; stock, 492,740.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, September o.
in the early trading was re-
placed by weakness toward the close
in the cotton market today. and the
generally accepted reason for the
change was hedge selling against the
new crop Also the continued large
spot trading at Texas points was taken
as confirming bears claims that grow
ers still were liberal sellers. Around
the opening prices were lifted II points
and later the advance widened to IS to
IT points. Shorts covered in volume.
but after the middle of the morning
the demand from this source was small
er and the market quickly felt 1t. In
the last half hour of business prices
crumbled away rapidly and the close
was at practically the lowest levels, a
net loss for the day Of to II points.
On the opening some hesitation was
shown and opening trades In October
were at loss OF points. Other
months on the opening call were at the
advance. however. and after the call
considerable strength was displayed for
a while. mainly because of the rush for
profts on the part Of short sellers Of
the earlier sessions Of tho week.

'Iexican general has forty pieces

miles south Of Douglas. We have
only 1900 infantry. 900 cavalry and
