WADDELL, STRIkE.BREAkER.

In the January American magazine Jack Iat tells about Waddell, the strike breaker. He says:
 "Waddell takes his business seri- ously. He has perfected an organiza- tion equipped to daily with every lever that might switch labor sltu- ation.
 He has lists of skilled non-union mechanics in many lines who are willing to take their chances in all emergencies for the swollen wages that they command. He has an armory in New York with HOO rifles, and barracks where guards are drilled and trained and maintained. He has a press bureau which he throws into q strike-torn community to build pub lie opinion for his clients.
 "ll is a lucrative if unique profess sion. During the recent threat of general railroad tie-up. Waddell had 13, 00O engineers and trainmen cor rallcd in Chicago, and was drawing down g. per day per man as his com mission, or $65,000 a day. On com missary purchases he takes 10 per cent in fees from the merchants, and, by his own statement, he bought Sl6S ,OGO worth of provisions in one strike lasting 13 days. which made his profit on that part of the little deal $l6,S00."

BENGAL BUYS AS MUCH
 COTTON GOODS AS 5. A.
Indian Presidency Imports S10O,0OO,- 00O Worth Annually, but America
 Sells Little to It.

The presidency of Bengal, in India, imports as much cotton goods as the whole Of South America. According to report just issued by the bureau Of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce, Bengal spends $100,000,000 year for for elgn-made cotton goods. This is 10 per cent of the total worlds trade in cotton goods, and American manufac- turers have practically no share in 1t.
 Americans do not make the kind of goods required by the market, says Ralph M. Odell, author of the bureaus report, and until they do it is not likely that they will ever get much of the business. The value of the inn ports of dhoties alone amounts to 35 or A million dollars annually, but they have never been made in Ameri can mills. Other lines, such as saris. colored lungis, grey and white jaco nets and mulls, and white nainsooks, which occupy a prominent place in the trade, are practically unknown to the majority of American manufac turers. The only important lines that offer immediate opportunities for the development of American trade, with out involving radical changes in the construction of nearly similar goods, are grey, white and printed shirting. American manufacturers would do well, however, to give their serious attention to dhoties, saris, etc., not only because of the large demand for them in Bengal, but because they are used throughout India. The rising cost of production in England, which supplies nearly all of these goods, makes it possible for Americans to compete in at least some of the quali- ties that are imported.
 Although England has for many years supplied the great bulk of the cotton goods imported into Bengal, a number of other countries have had a business in certain lines that is not to be despised. Before the war Ger many supplied quantities of blankets, shawls, hosiery, miscellaneous colored piece goods and colored yarn. Aus tria-Hungary also managed to do considerable business in colored yarp and cloth, shawls, handkerchiefs and hosiery. Belgium had a share of the business in blankets, miscellaneous colored goods, shawls and handker- chiefs. Hollands sales of colored woven goods, colored yarn, white shirtings and blankets have been re- stricted by the war, as have ltaly,s sales of colored yarns and mlscel- ,aneous colored goods. Japan's trade appears to have suffered least on ac- count of the war. It alone shows an increase, which is a significant fact and shows that Japanese manufactur- CTS are alive to the opportunity which the curtailment of supplies from Eu- rope has created.
 MT. Odell's report, which is the sec ond of series of four to be published on the cotton goods trade of India contains SS pages and is selling at the nominal price of 10 cents. Copies may be purchased from the superin- tendent of documents, Washington, or from any district office of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Feb. 27.-Thc Laconla disaster served to restrict business in cotton ill the early trading here to- day. Around the opening the old crop months were 1M3 points up, which was a poor response to good cables and to continued dry weather in the Western cotton belt. After the call the market fell to a net decline of 2M11 points.
 Rumors of a squeeze in the March position caused a fairly active market and moderately heavy buying. March was the strongest month on the boards, standing toward noon at a rise of 27 points over yesterdays last uuOtations. Other months were 7W2O over.

REPORTS OF MARKETS COTTON-GRAIN- LIVESTOCK.
New York Cotton.

New York. Feb. 21.-Detailed re- ports concerning the sinking of the I4aconia led to expressions of incrcas- ed nervousness over international ar fairs in the cotton market early to- day and a further restriction in the volume of business. Liverpool was a moderate buyer, however, and after opening steady at unchanged prices 10 an advance of points, active months sold about 5M7 points net higher before the end of the first hour with May touching 16.43e and October 15.92c. There was scattered rcallz- ing. which caused some irrcenlaritN, but reports of a further reduction in the local stock encouraged the bullSh view of the spot situation and offer
 ngs were limited. Private cables rc- ported a very steady market in Liver pool on cnd-mOnth calling.
 The Liverpool buying, presumably to undo straddles at tho rcCOrd-brCak ing difference between the two mar kets, was the feature of the morning The demand from that source taperet off after the close abroad, but there was scattered buying by commission houses, which held prices. and toward midday there was a squirt of covering by March shorts which sent the mar ket up very sharply. That deliver, sold at l6.S5c shortly after miG-day or 4S points net higher, while latel new crop deliveries sold about 1SM2( points above last nights close.
