GERMANY DID NOT
 WRONG BELGIUM, SAYS v0N 1IkPITz
Was Merely Saving the Country from the Wicked
 English and Americans.

Berlin, Sept. 9, via London, Sept 27.-Arguing that Belgium was not wronged by Germany. in view of Bel gium's attitude before the war, Ad- niral von Tirpitz in speech before the fatherland party said:
 "Henceforth Germany and not Eng land must be the protector power over Belgium. After all the sacrifice of life and blood we have offered up in this war there will never again be such a status for us. We need tangible indemnities that will enable us in coming decades to recover what we have lost in this war. This war concerus not only Germany, but the liberty of Europe and it's people from the all-consuming tyranny of the An glo-American capitalists"
 Amsterdam, Sept. 25.-Admiral von Tirpitz, in his speech before the new German fatherland party at Berlin, is quoted as referring to the Ger man internal situation as follows:
 "Thcse cursed party squabbles must cease while the German house is afire. It is ridiculous to believe the so-called international conference will give us place in the sun volun- tarily. Our children's children will curse us if we jeopardize Germany's future for mere party purposes.
 "The greatest victory can not re- place the immense sacrifices we have made. The peace of the Reichstag majority would mean Germany's de- feat and the victory of Anglo-Ameri- can capitalism"

JEFFERSON COTTON
 BRINGS 4OC PER LB.
Judge Gabe Meyer Sells Seven Bales at This Price, Staple Measur.
 ing 1 3.8 Inches.

Forty cents per pound was paid yesterday by Taylor brothers to Judge Gabe Meyer for seven bales of cotton grown on Judge Meyers Tucker lake place. The staple was 1 3-S inches in length, and the buyers said they would take more of that grade at the same price.
 Another small lot of cotton bring ing q good price was one of five bales sold by A. c. Morrow to Maus brothers at 39 cents per pound. Sev- eral other sales around 40 cents are reported, but prices could not be ob- tained. Sellers are reluctant to make public the price received. and buyers maintain the same attitude. The buyer and seller both appear actuated by the same motive in avoiding pub licity-bigger gain in the next trans action.
 Among sales of hill cotton was one lot of 200 bales, sold by the Hammet, Grocery company to s. c. Alexander Cotton company, for little better than 20 cents per pound.

BUSINESS IN STEEL PRODUCTS CONF NED
 FEDERAL ORDERS
These Very Large in Aggre- gate and Include Much Material Besides Shells
 and Guns

New York. August t9.--Business in steel products is confined almost en tireIy to government orders, placed either directly or indirectly by manu- lecturers having army ana navy con tracts. Tn the aggregate such orders are large, although few individual or ders are of magnitude. outside of heavy forgings for artillery and plates for shiphuilding current, buying for the manufacture of war munitions in eludes sheets, pipe. tin and tin plate, boiler tubes, shafting. strip steel and small products, but the placing of ad- ditional orders for railroad equipment for France and the acceptance by the United States government of the of fers made by the wire manufacturers about one month ago to furnish 30,0o0 tons of wire and rods for Italy means the distribution. sooner or later. of large orders for steel bars. plates, shapes. rods, forgings and castings among the various steel companies, amounting to between 250,00o to 300.- 900 tons. Other large orders for rail- road equipment, agricultural imple- ments and machinery for Belgium calling for the expenditure of S100,- 100000 will be placed very soon.
 Much interest is centered in the ef- forts of the government to increase the manufacture of big guns by call ing upon machine tool builders and other steel-working concerns. Addi- tional orders for ordnance, calling for the expenditure of s50,0O0,O0o, have been placed with many of these con- cerns.
 The Federal shipbuilding company the new subsidiary of the United States Steel eorporation-has placed contracts amounting to about $2,0o0.000 for dredging, pile driving and con- struction of docks and great buildings and~is buying s1,o00,000 worth of shop and power equipment to build 90G0- ton boats for the government. The Foundation company in conjunction with the Liberty Steel Products com pany, has taken a large government contract for completed ships. The Har- rtman interests, controlling the Ches- ter Shipbuilding company and the Mer- chants Shipbuilding company now building ways at Bristol Pa, are 10 construct 40 cargo boats for the emer- gency fleet corporation and expect or ders for 40 more boats soon The steel for all these boats will be furnished on government contracts.

THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS

The death of E. L. Norton few days ago reminded some of those who were in the thick of the terrific battle for the control of the Northern Pacific rail- road under the generalship on the one hand of the late J. P Morgan, together with James J. Hill, and, on the other hand by E. H. Hartman. It was in that titanic struggle, which at last was deadlocked that there was one quota tion for block of Northern Pacific railroad stock which sold for 5000 a share When 1t is remembered that not long before that sale Northern Pacific stock was quoted far below par then the significance of this amazing increase becomes apparent. The broker who handled that transaction was MT. Norton, and 1t gave him momentary but conspicuous notoriety. He had better reputation than any gained by single transaction, however because 1t was said of him that he was even the superior of James R. Keene in con- ducting transactions in the stock ex- change that were of magnitude and so handling them that it was almost im- possible to discover whether he was buying or selling stocks.
 In the world where money and stocks do not count for much, MT. Nor ton gained a fine reputation. He was a student of early colonial days, being especially interested in the story of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Mass, and of the Puritans at Boston, and was es- teemed high authority on these sub- jects This seemed srange on account of the fact that MT. Norton was not a native of New England, Texas being his birth state. He had gained in long career in the securities market confidence in the integrity of his busf- ness life.

B|G EXPORT DEMAND
 FOR COTTON GOODS

New York. August 1s.-Cotton goods purchases for other than government and export needs have been lighter this week. The market holds generally very steady, concessions being possi- ble only in some lines of gray goods. and some lines of fine co:tons that are being cleaned up for this year.
 Leading lines of dress ginghams for spring have been sold up and with drawn and large sales of. staple ging- hams have been made for future de- livery. Prints rule quiet, and bleached cottons are in moderate request on new orders. Deliveries on old orders are wanted promptly. TAare is a more active inquiry for winter cottons such as blankets and mapped goods. of which supplies are short i 1 first hands
 Production of cottons is below ca pacity because of scarcity of labor in tinues very full and is affecting more lines than merchants thought would be affected by actual war needs.
 The demand for export is active and broad and sales are being made readily when goods can be supplied Quota tions are as follows:
 Print cloths, 2-inch 64xe4s. Sc nom Hinal; 64x60's, 71Ac; 3Sh linen 64X64s, lie; brown sheetings. southern stan- dards, 515 @16c; denims, 2.20's indigo, 2Sc; tickings, S-oz, 35c; prints, 1215c; staple ginghams. 15c; dress, 1514c.

SECURITIES MARKET CONTINUED DULL
 AND UNSETTLED

New York, August 19.-Financial as- were almost completely submerged in the widespread interest created by the peace proposals from the vatican. The importance of that development found its chief expression in the continued ahsention of investment inquiry and the cautious aggressions of the bear faction.
 Shares of more volatile description, es- pecially those dependent to a greater extent on the wars continuance were subjected to pressure and occasional liquidation. So-called peace stocks or seasoned industrals as well as shippings and coppers held their ground or yielded grudgingly.
 The general setbacks in rails was directly traceable to the foreign situa- tion except insofar as they were in fIuenced by reports of federal super vision of those properties, including coal CTS. Market prices of two old estab- lished roads, New Haven and Delaware and Hudson fell to lowest quotations ever known.
 Doubtful trade prospects as denoted by reduced or suspended dividends were directly responsible for additional de- preciation of motor issues and some equipments were again handicapped by indications of imperative financial re- adjustment.
 Banking interests conferred with treas ure officials regarding the preliminaries of the next war loan which promised to assume huge proportions.
 It was expected that the coming week will bring definite announcement from Washington respecting prices and ex- cess profits. Suspension of dealings in futures has been extended to virtually all the leading commodity markets, with out detriment to stable contracts

FLUCTUATIONS IN
 PRICE OF COTTON SOMEWHAT NARROW
This Was Result of Unset tied Conditions and Ab- sence of Decided Opin-
 ion Among Traders

New orleans, August 19.-Fluctua- tions in the cotton market here last week were somewhat narrower than usual as the result of unsettled con dftions and the absence of decided opinions on the part of traders gen. erally. At the highest of the week prices were about half a cent pound over the previous weeks close and at the lowest they were about a half q cent a pound under. Last prices showed net losses of 31 to 3S points.
 The extremely favorable weather over most of the eastern belt and the belief that new crop receipts even tually would weigh against values were the main bear influences. With the market were the peace move by Pope Benedict the strong demand for spots in Texas and the drought 1l. that state. Fear of equinoctial dis turbances also served to hold down bearish operations. Spots went to a high premium over futures, which caused the more conservative element to refuse to have anything to do with the short side.
 This week the market will be main ly interested in Texas weather com ditions and developments in the spot department, Weather conditions over the belt generally will grow in i'm | portance because the August condl 1 tion period will end with this week, the figures from the government being due Friday, August 31 Private fore casts of the percentage of condition may come up on the market toward the end of the week.
 Rains in Texas probably would have a more pronounced depressing influence on values than any other feature that can be imagined, just as real peace talk would be about the strongest bull influence that could come into sight.
