Our Latest Ally.

Mexico, after hating and fighting US
fer years, seems on the point of chang
ing into warm friend and ally.
The new Mexican minister to Italy
celebrated his arrival in Rome, few
days ago, by issuing statement in
praise OF the United States.
'sThe nightmare of imperialism has
vanished since the United States en-
tered the war" he said. "Our rela-
tions with eur great northern neigh
Dor, after our crisis, have now entered
a period of cordiality. The United
States, in entering the world confla-
grafton for the liberty OF peoples and
respect for the rights of small ma
tions, has formulated principle which
comrletes the Monroe doctrine. This
establishes forever the position of Lat
inAmeriean countries with regard to
the United States"
This may be taken as an authori-
tive expression of present Mexican
icy. It is supported by the action

aeIiaking to commit the government
to a declaration of benevolent neutral
itv toward the United States. A reso-
luton in the Senate announces that
Mexico, doing honor to her history
her ideals of progress, must be with
the nations that fight for justice, fol
civilization, for liberty, which is Mex
ieo's own cause There is a similar
measure pending in the Chamber OF
Deputies. There is said to be strong
desire in both houses to go so far as
a complete break with Germany.

We can well afford to be magnani
nous toward a Mexico in this mood
We have never had any unworthy de
signs against her and we rejoice tina
she has found it out. We have suf
fered much at her hands. but we'r,

Tho Situation in Cotton.

Weather conditions and different

mer-- we're responsible for some very
marked changes in the quotations for
cotton during the last week. While
the exports have recently shown an
increase. they are below those of last
wear. In Great Britain the stocks are
much less than normal, and there has
been A decided curtailment in the out
nut Of goods from British mills, For
the cotton year ended with July 81 the
estimate is that 1854 goo bales OF
cotton were consumed, as against
f4.S12.000 the year before. The esti-
mate Is still subject to revision. World
takings of American cotton promise
to be less, from present Indications,
than they have been. The goods mar
ket shows a great deal OF strength SO
far as the quotations are concerned,
and there is a fair amount of buying
when anything below the market Is
offered. Buyers for stores who have
been in the city during the week IN
large number have been rather eau
tious in proceeding. They are not eN-
aetlv sure as vet how far consumers
viii be willing TO go in meeting the
new and higher price levels. Sellers,
however. show no great anxiety, and
seem content to abide the event. Ex-

CREDIT TO CUSTOMERS
Urging the Need of Restricting This
i'm Retail Business.

The August letter of the National
Association of Credit Men again calls
attention to the seriousness of easy
credit granting to consumers on the
part of merchants doing a retail bust
ness After pointing out that this form
Of credit is subject to greater risk
than any other, the letter goes on.
Without any thought of hindering
business, but rather to build up better
business, the point we are pressing
home every day Is that the grantors
Of commercial credit should have the
courage Of their convictions and coun-
sci with their retail customers to ell
merchandise to the consumer on "a
basis that COMFORTS with present con-
ditions, l. O., not tie up capital as
freely as under usual conditions in
rigid forms OF credit
we urge that supplies for the
home. that is. the daily necessities. be
sold for cash, or practically cash: that
tbs ordinary supplies of the house be
sold on the basis of semi monthly pay
ment. and that supplies for the per-
son or the extraordinary supplies be
sold on the basis OF the monthly pay
ment. that is, accounts rendered paid
on the first of each month for the sup
plies OF the previous month.
