THE COTTON MARKET
Manufacturers Refuse Concessions In
Limited Market

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 1O.-There
was only moderate business in the cot
ton goods markets last week. The ao-
sence of activity was due to the fact
that buyers hesitated about making
their purchases on the basis of current
prices; on the other hand, manu-
facturers were willing enough TO trade
within certain confines. There is a dis
position on the part of some millmen
to trade only in limited way, because
cotton conditions continue to be
troublesome.
Because of the slowness in business
some buyers requested slight conces-
sions, but these requests were refused
by manufacturers, who insisted upon
full asking prices.
There was good call for 36-inch
goods. but the volume OF business
actually accomplished was not large:
The fine goods markets were unchanged
from the week previous. These con-
Germs are we'll filed with orders, and
the quiet which is now prevailing IS
seasonable. and does not affect IN
general way conditions in the me
goods markets.
Sateens, twills and specialties have
been slow. The cotton yarn markets
were not active last week. Spinners

The Rev. Christian +. Reisner, pastor
of the Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, replied last night to those
critics who censure Billy Sunday for
his acceptance of the large fees pre-
scented to him in communities where he
has conducted revivals.
DR.. Reisner pointed out that a man
who receives high pay for the temporal

the frequent criticism that his order
at first was OF strongly Episcopal
character
At the end OF his address he asked
that the reception committee OF Brook
lyn clergymen continue TO act as a fell
lowship committee until formal or
Ranization could be perfected. The
Rev. DR.. John +. Carson, pastor of the
Central Presbyterian Church ana
chairman Of the committee, immediate
ly acceded.
DR.. Stone went from the armory TO
the James Methodist Episcopal Church,
where he explained the ritual of the
organization TO an audience of men
and conducted the first members
through the first degree Of the fellow
ship. He repeated the procedure at
the All Saints Protestant Episcopal
Church and Plymouth Congregational
Church.
Stonemen Bring Band
The Stonemen arrived in New York
early Yesterday. They were accom-
panied by the Fellowship band Of ITO
pieces. the walking Fellowship orehes-
ira Of eighty pieces, and the Red Cross
unit of the order. Excepting the last
named group. which was in regulation
Khaki. the Stonemen were in citizens
clothes. Each wore a button showing
an American flag and an opened BlDle.
They attended Brooklyn churches IN
the morning and formed for the parade
at Borough Hall at 2:30 p. m. The
visitors marched by wards, and each
unit carried an elaborate banner. More
than one hundred huttered IN the
ranks. Their own musical organiza-
tions were reinforced by several other
bands and fife and drum corps. Colonel
Sydney A. Grant. OF the 18th Reg
ment. marched with DR.. Stone at the
head At the armory they were wei
coined by Borough President Pounds.
DR.. stone occupied the pulpit at the
Cathedral Of st. John the Divine, IN
Manhattan, in the morning. In de
scribing the organization he said that
one of its purposes was to get men into
The habit of going to church.
He received the inspiration for the
organization. he said, while travelling
i'm Egypt and witnessing the reverence
attending the ceremonies OF Masonic
lodge. After the fashion Of Mahom-
etans, each Stoneman pauses at noon to
offer a silent prayer.
The invasion Of Brooklyn yesterday
is admittedly the first step in cam
paign TO nationaliZe the organization.

AIDS CANADA SHELL TRADE
Jersey Firm viii Open Manufacturing
Branch in Montreal

The International Arms and Fuse
Company, which has been manufactur-
ing three-inch shells for the Allies at
its Bloomfield, n. j., plant, will open
a branch in Montreal, Canada, early in
1917. it was announced last night. More
than 5000 men are employed at the
Bloomfield plant and in the neighbor-
hood Of 1000 will be set to work in the
Montreal branch, the opening Of which
is due TO England's determination not
TO renew shell contracts in the United
States.
The opening of the Canadian branch
will in no wise curtail the work of the
Bloomfield plant, an official of the COM
pany asserted last night. II may be
necessary to move some of the machin-
cry from Bloomfield to Montreal, but
this will be replaced as quickly as pos
sible.
The East Jersey Pipe Company. Of
Paterson, another concern manufactur-
ing munitions for the Allies, has found
it necessary TO lay off 100 of its en-
ployes. Shortage Of material and the
expiration of several munitions con-
tracts are given as the reasons.

Boston. Dec. 1O.-Neither Billy Sun
day nor any member of his staff would
consent tonight to discuss the pro-
posed portable tebernacSs' which
John E. Andrus, Of Yonkers, n. Y, is
to offer to the evangelist.
While it is certain that the mill
ionairc's proposal has awakened much
interest in the Sunday organization, no
comment will be made upon the project
until Mr.. Audrus has made formal
offer Of the buildings.
1t is expected that he will come
here either tomorrow or the next day
and confer with the evangelist upon
tho subject. If the tabernacles arc
all that he said they are it is practi-
callv certain that Sunday will accept
them and use at least one on has New

MERCHANTS RECEIVE
NEW MAIL FACILITIES
Complaints Bring Added Ser
vice TO Connecticut Points

Better arrangements for the trans
mission of mail from this city TO
points in the Connecticut Valley be
yond Springfield have resulted from
representations made by the Mer-
chants Association upon the basis Of
complaints received from its mem
bers, says an announcement in Greater
New York"
The trouble arose mainly with re-
gard to mail transmitted from this
city upon train No. 70 over the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road, which was scheduled, to connect
with the train leaving Springfield at
3:40 a. m. over the Connecticut Valley
Railway. When train No. 20 was late
the mail missed the connection at
Springfield and its delivery was de-
layed
At the suggestion OF this association
and on the recommendation of Post
master Morgan the postal officials in
stalled additional railway postoffice
facilities, and the mail for points be-
yond Springfield is now being for
warded upon train No. So of the New
York. New Haven & Hartford Rail
road, which leaves the Grand Central
Terminal at S:11 p. m. Mail for this
train closes at the Hudson Terminal
Station at 7 p. IN. The train is due
IN Springfield at 1925 a. m, which
leaves ample time for transferring the
mail to the $40 a. m. train.
Members Of the association who de-
sire to insure the morning delivery OF
mail at Connecticut Valley points be-
yond Springfield should see that it
gets TO the postoffice in time to be
placed upon train No. 90. Such mail
should not be held until the close of
the business day, but should be de-
posted in mail chutes by o'clock.

HIGH PRICES LAID TO GRAIN
Wisconsin Governor Sees No Drop
Unless l.. S. Halls Exports


Madison, Wis, Dec. 10.-Blaming
the high cost Of living upon the 'un-
usually high grain rates. Governor
Emmanuel l.. Philip tonight said
that he thought legislative investiga-
ton Of food prices in Wisconsin would
accomplish nothing. Unless the ma
tional government saw III TO stop ex-
ports. there was little hope OF material
reduction until after the next harvest,
he explained.
"The high cost of food" he asserted,
"has been brought about by the un-
usually high price being paid for grain.
The market has been affected by the
hort crop of wheat in the orthwest
end the strong export demand. We
reed not look for cheap beef or pork
so long as corn is worth from rs to 50
cents a bushel."

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

More than half million casualties have
been suffered by the British forces so far
in the war, according to the official figures
giving the total up to Jan. 9, made public
today.
Operations which may have an important
bearing on the Balkan situation are now
taking place in Albania. The situation
there is somewhat clouded, but it appears
the Austrians and Bulgarians jointly are
making the most of what appears to be
their present opportunity to overrun the
country in which little effective opposition
to their action is apparent.
The entente powers seem to be placing
reliance on Essad Pasha, who favors their
cause. to hold the forces of the Teutonic
allies in check temporarily, but what meas
ures, if any, are being taken to assist him
are not vet apparent.
The Greeks are said to be reinforcing
their detachments at Albanian border
points and developments as to the attitude
to be adopted by the Greek government in
view of the Bulgarian activities in South
ern Albania are being closely watched
