SET RAILWAY SAFETY MARK
Statistics for 1915 Show Fewest Pas
sengers Killed Since 1896.

Chicago. Jan. l6.-One of the most
remarkable safety records in the his
tory of American railways was made in
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1919,
when the country's entire 256O00 miles
Of road operated with only s.62l IA
talities OF all kinds. Of which o,OSi
we're trespassers. The number is the
smallest in thirteen years, records Of
the Bureau of Railway News and sta
tistics show, the last smaller figure
having been in 1902. In the total, just
published by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, are included all passen-
gers. employees, trespassers or others
killed in any kind Of accident. whether

shops or otherwise.
Not since 1896 have fewer psssen-
gers been killed from all causes. the
total last year being only 1876; yet
there were carried 93 per cent more
passengers than in 1895. Not since
seventeen years ago, in 1898, have
fewer employees been killed from all
causes. the total being 1885; yet l06
per cent more men were employed than
IN 1898.

GOODS RULE
FIRM; PRICES GAIN
Compromise Wage Increase
Lessons Immediate Possibility
of Operatives Strike.

Fall River, Mass, Jan. l6.-Ihe cot
ton cloth markets were very strong and
quite active last week and prices have
advanced substantially. While the
wage advance was still unsettled, man
ufacturers were slow sellers. The pos
sibilty OF a strike among the 35,oOO
operatives here made deliveries on con-
tracts a matter Of considerable uncer-
tainty. The mills, however, are pro-
tected by strike clauses in all bills or
sales. which are issued in every cloth
transaction, but even these projections
do not prevent losses from inability TO
Get the goods out on time. Cancella-
tions would be in order. and mills
would be considerably embarrassed.
Goods on hand would command very
high prices In the event of the strike,
because mills could not furnish goods
under contracts which we're accepted
several weeks and in some instances
months ago.
Early in the week the demand for
goods became acute and manufacturers
advanced prices over those prevailing
during the preceding week These ad-
vances ranged from a sixteenth TO an
eighth of cent yard. Active bid
ding has pushed prices up, and IN
some instances certain constructions
are commanding an advance OF at least
three-sixteenths OF "A cent yard over
the prices asked for two weeks ago.
The demand last week included prdcti-
cally all widths made by the Fall
River mills. and deliveries will extend
through May.
soon after the operatives unions ac-
cepted the compromise offer OF per
cent made BY the Cotton Manufacture
crs' Association millmcn loosened up
little and met considerably more than
the majority of the bids put up. The
Textile Council, representing the 33,OOO
operatives. requested an advance OF 10
per cent. but the Cotton Manufactur-
ers' Association made a counter offer OF
. per cent, which was accepted. tol-
lowing this. Taunton and New Bedford
mills increased wages , per cent.
Total sales for the week are esti-
mated at 2i5.O00 pieces. and about
$4,000 pieces are spots. Cotton is hold
ing up in price, but the new prices Of
fered for goods carry assurance OF
some profit. Buyers need more goods
than they have been getting, and VIII
be needing more right along FOR some
time 4 slump in trading is not looked
for. Fine goods manufacturers here
are having rather quiet trading, but
this is not caused by lack of substan-
tia. demand. The labor situation
troubled fine goods concerns as much
as other mills. but although this is
settled fine goods mills will have a
new source of worry in obtaining de-
,irablc staples and grades of cotton.
Not only have prices gone on up, but
the desirable supply cannot be had.
Where sales have been made against
cotton on hand or purchased, COM
Portable profits have been made. Quo.

and labor is now receiving an unprecc-
dcnted rate Of remuneration.
In spite Of general improvement IN
railroad earnings. idle cars at the hrst
Of the year showed an increase OF
about 5000 above those reported on
December |. In the East there was
still large shortage because OF the
congestion of traffic. but on the Pn-
cifc Coast and in the Northwest there
was considerable surplus. business IN
these districts has not been beniited 10
the same extent as the rest OF the
country through war orders ana
through great crops.
Exports Expand Again.
Our exports are rising again. the
trade balance of the first week OF the
year Of more than S53.000,0OO was
about twice that of the week before
and shipments wene over S9l .OoO,OVo.
From New York last week goods to the
value of more than $5S.OO0,0OO were
sent abroad. This movement of goods
has had little effect on the market ioi

control. Rates were steadier than IN
the week preceding, demand sterling
ruling around 4.76. Shipments of Sc
curities from London 10 this side are
understood to be unusually large. ne

Great Britain's financial strength
would be greatly aided through her

ments, is now being fulfilled.
The local supply OF money was more
than ample for all requirements, and
there was no continuation OF the ten

before. Call loans renewed at per

REVIEW OF THE
FINANCIAL WEEK
Readjustment in Market
Position of War and
Kindred Stocks.
SEVERE SETBACK
AND SHARP RALLY
Dealings Still Professional
General Business Good
Sterling Rates Steady.

The speculative position In the war
stocks and other industrial favorius
underwent considerable readjustment
last week. For the first few days these
issues were under heavy pressure, and
at their lowest they had suffered ma
terial losses from the best Of the week
before and a drastic revaluation when
compared with the prices at which
they changed hands at the height Of
the craze. When liquidation came 20
an end traders who had sold short
found that they had overestimated the
amount of stock that could be brought
out, and the rise on short covering
about made Up for the previous reac-
tion.
Though on the week the prices in
the group most active made compara-
lively little change, the purging
process resulted in clearing up a con-
siderable number OF weak long ac-
counts and added TO the lesson that
the public has been getting as 10 the
unstable nature Of some Of these In
dustrial issues. Vigorous selling for
the short account fastened the reac-
tion. as traders perceived that an un-
wieldy amount Of stock was still being
carried for s rise By speculative inter-
csts who had not been able 10 distrib-
ute their holdings at the crest of the
wave. The public had refrained from
any January rush 10 buy securities
and was not greatly tempted by the
lower prices reached during the week.
OF course, the traditional Januarv
relnvestmeut of dividends and interest,
like other market traditions, often
fails TO appear. When no large par
ticipation by the public comes at the
first of the year complaints such as
have been heard of late always arise.
According 20 market gossip. purchas-
crs are tired or disillusIonized, the op-
portunity for broad rise has escaped
and dull markets are predicted. Such
prophecies have often proved as false
as those OF a great January boom they
have followed.
This year anxiety over our foreign
relations has played some part in ad-
vising caution TO spectators and in
yestors. When Germany, Austria and
the submarine question seemed re
moved as causes for uneaSiness a par
ticularly outrageous occurrence IN
Mexico threatened TO excite Congress
and bring 81 last active Intervention
in the affairs of our neighbor 10 the
south. British interference with our
trade has caused hesitation in some
quarters, but, annoying as this may be,
il is not serious when compared with
The greater grievances we have suf-
enemies.

Testing an EXPLOSIVE.

be- One Of the most dangerous Of explo-
sfves is iodide Of nitrogen, black pow.
der which the slightest touch will
often cause to explode when dry with
great violence. In experiments to de-
termine the cause of its extreme ex-
plosiveness some damp iodide of nitro.
gen was rubbed on the strings of q
bass viol. 1t is known that the strings
Of such an instrument will vibrate
when those of a similar instrument
having an equal tension are played
upon. In this case, after the explosive
had become thoroughly dry upon the
strings. another bass viol was brought
near and the strings sounded. At a
certain note the iodide Of nitrogen on
the prepared instrument exploded. It
was found that the explosion occurred
only when rate of vibration of sixty
q second was communicated to the
prepared strings. Vibration of the G
string caused an explosion, while that
OF the f string had no effect.
