Cotton.

The cotton market was less active
yesterday, with fluctuations irregular.
After selling at 1926 early, January
rallied to 2S.55. but turned easier again
and closed at 1882, with the general
list closing barely steady at a net ad-
vance of points on November, but
at declines Of II to Is points on other
months. January and later deliveries
made new high records on the forenoon
advance, but the buying was not as
active or general as recently, and the
higher prices seemed TO meet increased
Southern offerings as well as selling
TO realize profits.
The market opened at decline OF l
70 23 points, with the more active
months selling II to % points under
Wednesdays closing prices, as result
of overnight selling from local and
Southern sources. These offerings were
readily absorbed at the decline by
buving through brokers with Liverpool
and domestic trade connections. The
presence of this demand encouraged
scattered buying for long account, and
such buying was also stimulated by
the reports of continued British sue.
cesses in France The mar ket rallied
in consequence, with December selling
. points and later months about 10 20
70 points net higher. The market then
eased off under realizing, accompanied
nv reports of an easier spot basis IN
the South, and was unsettled later In
the dav. when the disposition to take
profits was increased by the political
news from Russia. Closing prices
showed reactions of about ~ TO 20
points from the best.
The talk of an easier spot basis in
the South was more or less in evidence
during the entire day. 1t was claimed
that if the basis broke another 20
points in the Eastern belt, 1t might
mean the shipping of some cotton mere

nection. however, the difficulty Of Sc

ReAexes Of War

The American commercial attache az
Copenhagen, Denmark, writes that the
government commission that has been
investigating the acetylene lamps Of
fered for sale, after having refused
sanction to several hundred because Of
the danger Of explosion, has finally dis
covered some models that are consid-
cred safe and has now approved
large number. This method Of light
ing will now become general as soon
as arrangements can be made TO i'm
port from Norway and elsewhere enough
carbide to supply the country, espe-
cially for people who have no gas or
electricity or Kerosene. II is estimated
that 100000 acetylene lamps are now
in process of manufacture. Greenland
whale oil is being tried for lighting.
Usually il is very smelly and smoky,
but il Is thought some new models
may be developed. Whale oil costs In
Copenhagen about s220 a gallon. At
this price a two-candlepower lamp
would cost about one cent an hour TO
burn. Kerosene for lamps is now ra-
toned TO people who have no other
lights at the rate Of half a gal
lon a month, and at price regulated
by the government at 72 cents a gallon.
Theatres and restaurants must close by
10 D. m. TO save lights. The distilla-
ton of all kinds of alcohol, except for
industrial uses, is prohibited. A large
part of the available alcohJ Will be

Silk Experiment in Philippines

Frequent successful experiments have
been made by the government Of the
Philippine Islands in the matter Of silk
production in the islands. Experts in
silk culture believe that it might be
built up to commercial Importance if
cauitalists were disposed TO undertake
il Heretofore no serious attempt has
been made on the part OF private en-
terprise TO develop the industry. but
recently a corporation has been formed
for embarking in silk culture. Already
n has made a promising start in q
small way. The Dungon-Dungon Plan
tation Company, at Tanap, Province OF
nocos Norte, has $4,000 mulberry trees
OF proper age for feeding silk worms.
The start was made short time ago
with 10000 worms. and arrangements
were completed with the Bureau Of
Science of the Philippine Islands to
obtain 80 900 eggs month. Mulberry
trees are being planted on l,00O-acre
tract which is adapted to such an en-
terprise.
The plantation is in the charge of
Japanese silk grower Of experience.
The company already has produced
some silk. The output a month has
been from IS TO 20 kilos (33 70 "a
pounds). which has sold for 40 pesos

WASHINGTON, Nov 22.-Exprcss
companies at the hearings Of their APP
plication for a 10 per cent rate increase

mission December will cite figures 70

operated at an actual aggregate loss

seven months ended with July they re-
corded an aggregate income Of Sl,l92,-

corresponding period Of 1916.
The Adams Express Company report
ed the greatest loss Of income in july
$1,000 The American company'5
loss was 100000 and the Southerp's

tive net income as follows: Canadian,
$4,000; Great Northern, $4,000,
Northern, $4,000; Wells Fargo, $4,000,
and Western, $4,000. The decrease in
income is attributed by the express
companies to the rapid rise in cost OF

Cereals

Wheat.-Latest advices from Argen
tina state that the harvesting of the
new wheat crop there is now general
in the north and preliminary yields are
excellent. Harvesting has also begun
in the central districts, while in the
south the weather is wet and cool ana
unfayorable. Exports from that country
for the week were estimated at 100000
bushels, compared with $4,000 the
previous week, and IL was said that
clearances are increasing as result OF
more satisfactory labor conditions.
The movement of domestic wheat
showed a slight increase over Wednes
day, but the total is still compare
lively small.
Corn.-This market was easier early
in the day under liquidation on the
part OF speculative holders. On the
decline, however, there was renewed
buying which caused a good rally and
final figures were 4 to ssc net higher.
The cash position was irregular. Low
grade corn which was either hot or
heating was quoted around 60 cents,
while the better grades ranged from
Sl.15 up to over $500. The scarcity of
good corn was a strengthening factor
and the trade was also impressed by
the evident magnitude OF the waiting
demand both for domestic consumption
and for export.
Advices from Chicago stated that the
local representative of the food ad-
ministration there has requested the
Chicago Board OF Trade TO curtail spec
ulation in futures and, II possible, sep
arate the operations regarded as purely
speculative from those considered lie
gitimate hedging. The Chicago board
expressed a willingness TO cooperate
with the Administration wishes if the
proposition can be worked out. The
local cash market was entirely nomi-
nal, with offerings withdrawn.

Trade Acceptance

Men Are Told
James F. Mcnamara,
Secretary.
90 Wall Street. New York.

Abortion of the trade acceptance to
prevent a money stringency that might
ieopardize the winning OF the war WIS
urged last night by speakers who ad-
dressed the New York Crrdi: Mems
Association at the Hotel Aston. Ken
meth R. Hooker, president Of the Put
nam Hooker Company, said that the
use of trade acceptances by business
men and bankers throughout the "oun-
try was essential to a much needed
reform in financial and merchandising
1T is vitality important" Mr.. Hooker
told his hearers, that provision be
made for an adequate supply OF liquid
capital, and the efforts Of every bus :
ness man and banker should be directed
chiefly toward bringing abous thofe
changes in business and banking prac..
tees which make for = maximum OF
elasticity and stability IN our financial
system.
at is estimated tlat IN This country
approximately four )ill chs OF capital
are normally tied up IN the dead ledger
accounts. To the extent hat tnl5 enol e
nous volume of inert capital ls con-
yerteG into self .liluinaiiEg trade &C
ctptances available for Iedlsc0unt at
the Federal Reserve Bank we may re-
place capital diverted for war pUr-
poses"
Explains Trade Acceptances
The trade acceptance, Mr.. Hooker ex-
planned, is a bill drawn against the
purchase of merchandise and Endorsed
by the purchaser of the goods as well
as the person who makes the sale. The
bill usually runs for sky or ninety
DAYS and is rediscountlbl1 at the FED
eral Reserve Bank when l. bears two
signatures.
George Woodruff, president OF the
First National Bank of Joliet, H.,
said:
During these times Of tremendous
national endeayor, when we are max
ing over on more efficient lines 80
many Of our time honored institu-
tons, il is not surprising that our
outgrown and wasteful system Of open
criticism which il so justly deserves.

eminent ohicials, bankers. manufact-
urers, jobbers and wholesalers gem
orally are coming 10 the support Of
the trade acceptance "a the logical
successor Of the open book account
but as yet the retail merchant has
not displayed the same enthusiasm for
the adoption Of this improved credit
system, due doubtless to the fact that
the average retail merchant has been
thinking of trade acceptsnces from
the standpoint of the wholesaler rath-
or than from his own standpoint.
Retail Merchants VIII Gain
"As a matter Of fact, no one class
of business men will profit more from
the trade acceptance system than the
retail merchant, for no other class Is
more often taken advantage Of by
those who purchase goods on credit"
Lewis Z. Pierson. chairman Of the
American Trade Acceptance Council.
stated that the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, the American
Bankers Association and the National
