National Colors'

Dvestuffs were in fair way to be
nationalized in Europe, and now they
have gone to the point Of being inter
nationalized. The scheme for produc-
ton supported by the French govern
ment and the enterprise aided by the
British government arc going into an
interallied company. 1t seems that the
scheme contemplstes cooperation IN
Great Britain, France and other allied
and friendly countries, with a prob
ability that a government aided enter
prise will soon be started in Italy.
National colors" may acquire an en-
tirely new meaning in the years to
come. with possible spectroscopic COM
binations that may add decidedly to the
iollity of nations. Meanwhile our own
color industry is doing pretty well.
Two years ago there were about six
plants, making a little better than
5000 tons of synthetic dyes year and
employing a total of 600 men. Now we
have thirty plants or more, one Of them
alone employing 1 900 men, and these
plants have a capacity of $4,000 tons
a year. Moreover, we are now export
ing each month dyes valued at half a
million dollars, or more than the value
of a years exports before the Euro
pean war.-The Nations Business.

Cereals

Wheat.-Ihere were many spasmodic
advances and recessions yesterday, but
the ultimate trend was downward. the
net results in Chicago being losses Of
&G11c. Other markets lost from 1c
to &c. The general downward move
ment was ascribed largely TO further
liquidation By tired and discouraged
holders, and il was also evident that
certain big operators were working
strenuously 10 depress prices. This
latter was said TO have been the cause
of heavy selling By various large COM
mission houses.
Continued uneasiness regarding the
shipping proposition still created suf-
fcient sentimental bearishness to

the legitimate fundamental situation.
The distribution OF wheat 10 domestic

CATTLE RAISING SHOWS
BIG GAIN IN SOUTH

The total value Of the South's sgri-
cultural products, including animal
products, in 1916 was over S4,65O,9cV''
900, according to the estimate Of the
Manufacturers Record" or only per
cent less than the total for the entire
United States in 1900.
Omitting livestock, the total value o.
the South's crops last year was $500
$4,000, a gain of s1,O72,2SO,OOO over
The ss,O22, 900 value OF 1915. TINS
was a gain of 4.5 per cent
The value of the South's cotton crop
including seed, was Sl,S57,SSl'QVV
Notwithstanding the high prices ps''
for cotton, the value Of that crop was
less than 80 per cent OF the total O.
the South's agricultural income las'
year, and was but little more than tn'
value of the South's grain crop alone

A Modern Industry

Fifty years ago there was practically
no asbestos industry, but the yearly
output now runs in value we'll in to the
millions Of dollars in America alone,
while every civilized community in the
world uses the mineral in various
forms. Although there is evidence that
this material was known and used by
he Egyptians and their contemporaries,
il was almost forgotten for many thou
sand years, until quite recent times.
Asbestos is found in many countries,
but much OF il is either unsuitable for
manufacturing purposes or else difficult
to mine and transport, greatly restrict
ing the output

Cotton

Prices broke with striking rspidity
yesterday, losing from 40 10 so points
(s2Ms3 a bale) in the first half hour.
Thereafter the movement was irregu-
lar, with a fairly strong rally at one
time. Still the net result was loss
Of about 80 points.
In spite of the continued strength or
the spot situation IL seemed impossible
to maintain prices in view Of the grow
ing fears regarding tho shrinkage in
the export movement as a result OF the
recent marine disasters. The local ele-
ment wss unanimously besrish, and as
there was no strong bull leadership
and almost no outside speculative in
terest the efforts to depress prices met
with little opposition. Spot houses
continued to buy on the weak spots, but
there was too much power on the short
side.
In some cases prices showed slight
gains at the outset, largely because of
the bullish weekend figures, although
these were Offset to some extent by
unsatisfactory reports from textile
centres.
This slight bulge brought out ag-
gressive selling by the professional
element, who were evidently cunning"
for stop loss orders which they be-
leyed were numerous around the lie
level. This supposition proved to be
correct and the execution of such or
ders fastened the decline, carrying
January down 70 16.75c, March to 1890
May to 1890. July to 1890 and 0c-
tober 10 1890. A good deal Of the
stop loss eling-possibly 10000 to
$4,000 bales-was ascribed to Liverpool
account As the decline progressed
some of the shorts in Wall Street and
in the local crowd displayed a willing
ness to take in their profits, and this,
coupled with the demand from spot
sources, caused a rally of over 20
points.
Handlers Of the actual cotton re-
ported no change in the attitude of
Southern holders, although it was adj
mitted that a further decline in futures
may result in shaking out a consider
able quantity. Just at present, how
ever, holders remain firm, and Houston
reported sales to Havre at 40 points
above the New York March price. New
Orleans also sent strong advices, stat
ing that Texas spot firms were buying
futures heavily there against large

INVESTMENT LOSSES ARE
SMALL IN NEW ENGLAND

A recent compilation shows that the
actual loss sustained by 1s9 represent
alive financial institutions of New
England over a period of fifteen years,
as made up from their official reports,
totalled S7,237,9O4. or an average loss
per annum of s4s2, 527, on an aggregate
investment of s503, 100000. The larg-
est loss-S3.06l ,l44-was sustained on
loans to individuals, firms and corpora
tions. The next largest loss was on
real estate and real estate firms and
amounted to s2,ls5,s25. Losses on
government, state and municipal bonds
IN the fifteen years amounted to only
S2,69s, while the loss on railroad and
