The Italian Government mas placed
another contract for 10000 tons "
special beesemcr pig iron with the New
Nork representative Of Eastern furnaces.
II Is understood that shipment will be
made in the next-few months Pig iron
inquiries for foreign shipment still ag-
gregate about 10000 tons. Of which
nearly 10000 tons IL for italy. The only
new inquiries on foreign account that
came to the surface yesterday were for
small lots Of foundry grades. II Is en-
pected tina; several additional orders for
steel making iron will he placed with ex-
por,ers before the close Of the week.
Steel mills are much interested in the
outcome Of the all night conference OF
the American munition manufacturers
that was held in New York in the latter
part OF last week. Heretofore whenever
foreign Governments placed contracts
for shells In this country the manufac-
turers acted Independently in purchas-
ing steel billets and rounds. The result,
was that they often came into competi-
ton with one another. which caused
unduly advancing prices. The impress
sion Is that hereafter American manu-
facturers OF high explosive shells will act
more in harmony. or possibly as q unit,
in placing contracts for steel. American
representatives OF foreign Governments
who recently obtained simultaneously
bids on steel for direc, export and In
shells from munition manufacturers In
this country are reported to have given
preference to steel To be made into muni-
lions In Europe. This policy has inter-
fered with manufacturing industries here

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
Quotations by MILLER & Co. Members
New York Cotton Exchange

New York, Dec. S.--LiQuidatiou on
at enormous scale demoralized the
cotton market today, prices at one
time showing losses Of 100 10 f0T
points, or more than s. a bale, and
1871 points below the top Of yesterday.
While great deal of attention was
paid TO the news from Washington
regarding the submarine situation, the
break was not attributed to any one
Incident. There WAS a rally from the
bottom. but the close was unsettled
A sharp drop In Liverpool and gin
ming figures up to the best bearish
estimates caused a drop of 30 to Al
points on the opening call An in
terest usually acting for a prominent
financial house was n good buyer and
New Orleans and Wall Street also
bought: commission houses Liverpool
and Southern interests sold. Rallies
followed big break to 9.95 for May,
which carried prices into new low
ground for the movement and about
80 TO 20 points below the best figures
Of Yesterday afternoon There seemed
to be fresh buying below the zoe level,
while Liverpool was an active buyer
here and there was covering for the
" eek end. but the undertone remained
unsettled. and bulges of some u or rs
points were not maintained.
Port receipts for the day were So
o36 bales against 34seb bales last
week and $3.50 bales last year.
Exports for the day were a.073
bales

Financial Caution More Evident
Than At Any Other Time During
Present Prosperous Era.
PRICES 40 PER GENT HIGHER
Average Wholesale Figures That Much
Above Period Preceding Outbreak
Of War-Christmas Trade Greatest
Ever.

New York, Dec. Sums weekly
review of trade will say tomorrow:
Continuing remarkably active and
profitable, business has gained in
wholesome characteristics through the
lessening of excitement in some of
it's leading branches. The situation
is now more settled in iron and in
dry goods, as in certain other lines
where feverish conditions have exist
ed, while decidedly higher money
rates and calls for increased margins
have had a restraining influence on
speculation in stocks and commodi-
ties
Financial caution 10 more evident
than at any period of tho present
era OF prosperity. and with the grow
ing conservatism in producing and
distributing channels, constitutes a
favorable augury for the future. The
momentum OF the upward price move
ment also has slackened, on the hole
though in quarters where needs are
particularly urgent and the paucity OF
supplies increases the element OF cost
remains of secondary consideration
with many buyers.
As measured by Dun's index num-
Der, the general level OF wholesale
quotations Is nearly forty per cent
higher than before the war and there
is no definite sign even now that the
markets have reached the top. With
prices at an extreme position, II is
remarkable that demands are sustain
ed in such great volume, and though
the advanced living costs are a source
of complaint wage increases and spe-
cial distributions have enhanced the
purchasing ability Of many consum-
ers.
That Christmas trade will attain
an unprecedented dimension is the
general expectation and the agitation
FOR early shopping is meeting with re-
Spouse in many sections. the prefer
ence shown for the more costly grades
of merchandise being a conspicuous
feature.
All the traditional barometers which
measure the rise and fall OF business
naturally point strongly upward. dur

ing centers outside New York were

ANNUAL REPORT OF

Washington. Dec. s-The Pos,office
Department for the third year has
proved a seh-supporting institution
and the prospect for lower postage
rates is held out. according to the an
nual report of A. s. Burleson. post
master-general made to Congress to-
day.
A surplus OF 81. 900 was paid into
the treasury for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1915. the report says. This
makes the third year such a surplus
has been paid or a total OF $4,000. zoe
In three years The postmaster gen
eral says that the department Is
not intended TO produce revenue for
tho government. continued PROFIT in the
operation OF that branch OF the gov
eminent Will mean improved service
and possibly lower rates of postage,
The postmaster-genera recommends
that one-cent rate on letters for de-
livery in the same city in which they
are mailed be provided at the earliest
possible moment.
On January /. 1917, the report says.
the Postoffice Department will Ale with
the Interstate Commerce Commission a
recommendation for a revision of the
railway mail pay basis Of compensa-
ton which will give the railroads a
more adequate return for the work
they have been performing in trans
porting the malls.
Announcement is made In the re-
port that the postoNice DEPARTING mt
has decided to advertise for bids for
pneumatic mail service in New York
city. contracts to run for ten years
subject to cancellation by the post
master general on six months notice
This announcement grows out OF a
long-standing controversy over the
pneumatic tube service and the report
says that the present holders Of the
contract. who enjoy practically a
monopoly of the business. have been
seeking extension Of their contracts
without further advertisement for bids
by the government
The departments decision to put the
service on more competitive basis
followed an exhaustive investigation
of the subject by a special committee.
The committee reported that the pneu=
matte tubes are not SO valuable In
these days of the cheap motor truck
as formerly.
Postmaster General Burleson recon-
mends that a number of patronage
plums be removed from the presiden-
tial plum tree by including first. sec
ond and third class postmasters in the
classified service He also recommends
that rural carriers be paid on a basis
OF number and weight of pieces Of mail
handled. length Of routes traversed and
time required. rather than merely on
basis of length OF route, as at pres-
emit.
Another long step toward govern
ment ownership of public utilities Ia
taken In the recommendation in the
report that the government take over
the telephone and telegraph facilities
of Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico
An appropriation of 100000 is
asked for continued experimentation
