u. S. Soldier Costs *
Fourteen Times as
Much as a German
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 3.-Germany is
putting 1913 soldiers into the field
for the same amount of money which
the United States is paying for a
single fighting man, according to
calculations today of government
experts. They said the same general
proportion was true also of main
tanning the armies in the field, or in
other words, America must raise
$l4.30 where the enemy nations raise
only 81 for the purpose of carrying
on the war. The difference was said
to be due to the higher pay of the
United States soldiers and the great
er cost Of supplies in this country.

Oyer ". B. Campbells Wire

New Orleans, December 1O.-Cotton made a show of quiet but decided strength today, going to an advance of $2 per bale on moderate buying which was met by only small offerings. part of demand came from covering operations of shorts and sold out longs were said to be coming back to some extent with the idea of going long over the bureau tomorrow, but a good part of inquiry was set down to the account of trade interests in the gossip of floor. Momentarily on the opening January was points down, but other months were up and after the call there was a steady rise. At the highest of day prices were 35 to 43 points up and late in the session the market was steady well up toward the top.
 The immediate situation, of course, hinges on tomorrows crop estimate by the department of agriculture, to be is sued at o'clock, our time. This report will be expressed in bales of 800 pounds weight, gross, and will not include lint CTS. Private expectations range all the way from 10,900000 bales to 11,50O0O0 with the average of expectations around H. 3oo,0O0. Figures around the lowest esti- mates would probably result in a run away market and it will take above Il, ,300,000 to bring about a decline. We believe that any recessions which may follow the bureau would be good places for new purchases The census report on consumption of American cotton Fri day will probably be bullish.

America Faces Penny Famine

Thomas F. Logan, in Leslies.
 Every mint in the United States is work ing at top sped 24 hours a day to meet the demand for 1-cent pieces, but even these heroic measures will not prevent a shortage in pennies. The famine is q logical result of the new war tax bill which has raised prices of popular com mOdities from even sums to fractional parts of dimes and quarters. The treas ury department foresaw an extraordinary demand for the small coin, but did not succeed in discounting the enormity of that demands. The hints of the country turned out 107, 191. .15S pennies between Jan uary 1 and October 1 of this year. Dur ing the corresponding months of 1916 only s, 397 "coppers'' were coined. On the first day of last September all hints began working night and day to avert famine. Consequently, the ouput for the last three months of 1917 will show e big gain over the same months last year. but not a great enough gain to off, set the new need for pennies. The treas ury department stock of 1-cent pieces is completely exhausted and is now "over- drawn" by the various suhtreasuries

Various Government Ru. more Help to Put Ginger
 Into All Transactions

New York, December 10.-The cotton market showed renewed firmness today with January contracts selling up to 2s.9Oc, or 3S points above Saturdays close and 92 points above the low level of Saturday. That delivery closed al 2S.Ssc, with the general list closing firm at net advance of S1 to 42 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of Ii to 21 points on a renewal of the buying movement which started on Saturday. Brokers with Wall street and western connections were particu- larly active and it was runored that sellers of last week were covering short contracts in advance of the government estimate, which is estimated tomorrow. reports that latest rulings with reference to grain shipments might result in in creased offerings of ocean space for cotton, may possibly have promoted the advance, but there was nothing very
 definite in that connection and no change was reported in the immediate freight situation. The volume of buying tapered off at an advance of about B to g points and there were reactions of several points under realizing but the market firmed up again with De- cember selling at 29.61c and March at 2S. .65c late in the afternoon, or 28 to B points net higher. The close was with in q point or two of the best. Traders seemed to find nothing in the days news to create any fresh sentiment as to the attitude of southern spot holders. Some attention was attracted by Washington dispatches reporting opposition to gov | ernment price fixing of raw cotton which may possibly have contributed tc the early advance, but general business
 was not active, and the market seemed
 co be waiting for the government re- 1 port tomorrow.

Brother Meant We'll

Speaking at political gathering Sen atorN George Sutherland of Utah smilingly ramarked that there are times when we mean well, but express ourselves badly, and told this little story as an illustra- tion:
 Recently a new pastor was called to a new charge in the west. and duing the first few weeks of his incumbency he preached several exceedingly clever sermons.
 One Sunday morning his discourse was particularly pleasing. and as he stepped into the aissa at the conc'nsioaA Of the service the congregation gathered aroud with many congratulatory words
 Doctor said one of the congrega- ton, seizing the pastors hand, II want to tell you how much I enjoyed your sermon this morning What | wonderful knowledge you have of your subjects and how inspiringly you preach themi'
 "He does, indeed!' enthusiastically exclaimed another brother, taking the preacher's hand in turn. Why, Doc tor, we never knew what sin was until you came among us.''

STOCK MARKET WAS

American Tobacco Went Off for Extreme Decline.
 Steels Were Steadier

New York, December 1o-stocks moved in a hesitant and irregular manner to- day to the accompaniment of an insig- nificant turnover. Important shares fluc- tuated within 1 point radius, but a number of specialties fell sharply.
 American Tobacco made an extreme de- cline of 211s points to 40 in connection with the proposed issue of an addi- tional s5o0oo,O00 of treasury shares and some of that company's former suosidi- aries broke 15 to IT points.
 Uncertainty marked the course of rails Pacihcs and a few coalers registering gross gains of 1 to 2 points, while St, Paul preferred and Atchison, preferred touched new minimums and Atlantic Coast line was included among other is sues to repeat their lowest quotations of recent years.
 Steels were the steadiest features of the industrial and equipment groups, with moderate strength in coppers and ship pings but profit taking effaced larg' part of this advantage at the close. Call moneys rise to per cent and tenn porary withdrawal of time funds served as an additional deterrent to speculative operations.
 Weakness of French issues, virtually all making lowest records since theii flotation in the market, was overshadow. \ ing feature of the bond market. Libert. < 4s sold at 97.16 to 97.5O and the S1zs al z 9S. .46 to 4S.SO Total sales, par value, az. gregated $4,015.OO0.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 1O.--A quiet and steady feeling prevailed in cotton here today with short period of pronounced strength toward the end of the session, during which prices mounted to their highest levels net rise of F cent on the strongest months.
 While there was considerable buying of covers by shorts, in anticipation of a bullish crop estimate from the govern ment tomorrow, much of the demand ap- peared to come from trade interests who were protecting theselves against their requirements in the way of actual cotton There was at times demand from sold- out longs who appeared to be re-entering the market with the determination of go- ing long over the bureau report
 Momentarily, on the opening, January was points down, but other months were up and after the call the rise was general. During a good part of the day the market was steady at net gain of about 8 points. Toward the close a sud- den spurt carried the list to net rise of 46 to 50 points. Last prices showed net gains of 43 to AS points.
