Cotton Trading in
France to Reopen
Under Restrictions

Paris. July Reopening of the Cot
ton Exchange at Havre has been au-
thorized by a decree of the Minister OF
Commerce, whose duty it will be gen
orally to control operations in the trade
and to apportion raw material to be
supplied each manufacturer. The com
rittee will sit in Paris, but it has dele
Gated powers to an executive commit
tee, which will fix daily prices on a
basis supplied from Paris.
New-York tribune., 1917-07-10

1t is unfortunate, but not surpris-
n.g, that there should be labor un-
rest at this time. The reason for 1T
is to be fownd in the course Of COM
modify prices. Between the begin
hing Of 1915 and the end Of 1916
the labor market underwent a COM
plete transformation. There was,
first, general unemployment, with
the earnings of labor at low ebb.
Az business revived under the stimu-
lus of war there followed a great
increase in the demand for labor, ac-
companied by what always attends a
return of prosperity-an epidemic of
wage disputes and strikes. In prac-
tically all cases the workers gained
the major part of their demands,
and at the same time employers,
forestalling trouble, voluntarily
granted wage increases and bonuses.
Thus it happened that by the end of
1916 the general advance in wage
rates and the constancy of employ
ment had increased the earnings of
labor sufficiently to Offset the great
rise in the cost Of living. Labor had
greater command over goods than
had been the case for a long time.
Since the beginning of this year,
however, it appears that labor has
been falling behind in the race with
prices. The general level of COM
modify prices has been moving up
ward at a more rapid pace than ever
whereas few important wage in
creases have been announced-cer.
tainly nothing like the readjustment
ir wages which was witnessed in
1916 has taken place. Under these
circumstances, it is to be expected
that workers should demand higher
pay, especially in view of the fact
that they are in an excellent posi-
ton to enforce their demands.

Danish Producers Suffer

British regulations concerning Dan
ish agricultural products made during
the past few months have brought
about reduction of % per cent in
the prices of Danish bacon in Copen-
hagen. Danish agriculturists are now
suffering greatly on account of the
direct losses on production because
they are loyalty maintaining the agree.
ment with England and sending large
quantities of agricultural produce to
England at prices which will not en-
able them to cover the great cost Of
production.

The above rates express the cost OF
foreign money in terms Of the Ameri--
can dollar. You buy an Engl' \ pound
parity is s4.s6Ss per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at DIS
coynt or that dollars are at pre-
MUM. which is owing TO the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
with which to settle accounts in this
country is greater than the demand IN
this country for pounds with which 10

Not Quite Two Malls q Day.

just as We we're congratulsting our.

and were back on the map, We made the
startling discovery that we are not back
on the post Office map after all. In other
words, we still have two mails . day,
which a. they are arranged practically
amount to less than two well-regulated
mails.
The two local trains carry no mail
under the present arrangement. Now
these are the trains going east at 9:43 10
the forenoon, and west at 1886 In the az
tsrnoon. That 10, II you want to send a
letter to-day to Boston, Portland, Lewis
ton, Mechanic Falls, Oxford, etc., you
must mail It last night. What you mail
this morning before train time will 90
out on the train which Is due at 6:02
this afternoon.
And then again there Is no afternoon
mail. The old familiar 1886 train, which
We have missed since last winter, is with
us again, but 1t brings no afternoon
papers, no letters. They will come up TO-
night, and you will get them tomorrow.
This issue of the Democrat will 60 cup
the line" late this evening, and you will
get that also tomorrow.
We don't know that this arrangement
is to be permanent, but 1t is in force at
present.
