straddles or speculative dealings are
permitted in the case OF cotton, any
more than they are in wool. But much
of the price strength OF cotton here is
due to the fact that holders are able
to keep their stocks until they get
their price. The government estimates
of the new crop WHICH were made pub
lie on Monday indicate yield of H.
$50, 900 bales. This is probably con-
sentative prediction, but at that It
will show up larger than the crops of
the last two years. Prices for all kinds
OF cotton fabrics continue to show
strength, and there Is general dis
position on the part OF mills to be
rather cautious in entering into long
time contracts. Export demands and
government needs are aids in keep
ing prices firm. The principal event
during the week was the more or less
formal opening of cheap underwear.
Much surprise was expressed at the
large advances made in prices, the
I increases in some instances being as
much as 100 per cent. No lack of con-
fidencc is shown on the part of the
mills as to their being able to dispose
! of their output There are even in
stances in which only the regular Gus
toners are dealt with, and orders
! from new sources are not accepted.

Wool and Wooden Fabrics.

In wool the principal news of note
was the announcement on Thursday or
the manner in which the $4,000 bales
of Australian wool released will be
disposed of in this country. This batch
is however, only small portion OF
what eventually must come. Dealings
during the week were comparatively
small. and there was n little uncer-
tainty as to the price outlook. Many
profess to believe that the highest
point in prices has been reached. and
that. while there may be no recession
unless the government itself sets In
to fix prices, there are not likely to be
further advances. Fear Of a scarcity

Last month the American AssoCia-
tion OF Pharmaceutical Chemists had
convention in Atlantic City. One
Of the speakers who attracted much
attention was Fl K. milford, repre-
eenting the American Drug Manu-
facturors' association. He urged
against the policy of the government
issuing patents on products. This has
been taken advantage Of in the past
by German concerns. particularly in
regard to dyes, drugs. and chemicals.
An instance in point given by Mr.
milford was that a better article OF
salvarsan than the imported is now
made in Philadelphia, but cannot be
sold because OF he German patent
on the article. This may or may not
have a bearing on the proposition
made during the last week by Her
man A. Metz, who has represented
in this country the German mar~1-
facturers Of the drug specified At
any rate. when recently there was a
hearing in Washington on a proposal
to permit manufacturers here to US
German patents-inclu that for
sa lvarsan-during the war, Mr. Metz
was so excited that he came to blows
with one who favored the measure.
But during the last few days he has
made proposition 10 supply the drug
to the government a cost announc-
fling that It is now being made in tn;
country. This being the case. either
Mr.. Metz is making the article in
defiance of the patent and without
| license, or else he is doing so for the
profit Of the German proprietors OF
the patent, they being Just now alien
enemies. If he does either. what
harm would there bn in permitting
by law other manufacturers to DO the
same Il might be, in thar event. that
the German monopoly OF making the
article would disappear, inst as prom
/ ises TO ,he the case with regard TO
! other cGal-tar products.

irving from Chihuahua City last night

eral Chaves, with an escort of so
Yaqui Indians, was going to Sonora
from chihuahua City to be married.

After Villas dispatcher had given
the train crew false orders at Ell
Mocho, the band of 200 under Mar
tin Lopez attacked the train. Gen.

directing the fighting. The Indians
fought desperately and only three of
the entire party escaped wounds. The
