standard gauge freight cars for use in
France. which will require about 10000
tons OF steel. These arc in addition to
standard cars, requiring 10000 tons,
contracts for part of which have al
ready been placed.
The suspension OF the dlstributive
function Of the steel committee Of the
Iron and Steel Institute until its legal
status has been determined under the
Lever bill has caused a temporary halt
in the placing Of these contracts, but
government buying OF machinery and
tools for equippins railroad. airplane

5000 tons OF steel, and have not given
up efforts TO buy rails for both carly
and for late delivery. The. Carnegie
Steel Company will furnish 10000 tons
of light rails for export TO France.
Considerable interest is centred in
semi-fnished steel. Billets and sheet
bars that sold off $50 to $50 per ton
in the last fow weeks from the highest
price are again frmer, with recovery
of SO a ton in some instances.
The War Department has made fur
Their progress in the scheme to extend

more manufacturers arc making i'm
provcments for building and equippinc
new shops to make gun forgings early

Cotton

There was a further sharp break in
the cotton market yesterday, with De-
cember contracts selling off to 2L79, or
81 points under Fridays close, and
about 500 bale below the high price
Of the month. That delivery closed at
ESQ. with the general list closing
barely steady at a net decline of IS to
50 points.
The market still seemed to be unde,
the influence of more favorable crop
news and belief that prices must 60
TO level that will check marketing
of early receipts in the South. At the
opening there was some reactlonary
talk around the ring. This, naturally
enough, was based on the big decline
which has already taken place. uncer-
tainty as to the showing of the gov
ernment's crop. due next Friday, and
the stronger technical position of the
market. Aside from scattered cover
ing BY shorts, however, there seemed
to be few buyers. This fact encouraged
renewed selling as did also the fsvora
bic character of the weekend rop re-
views and continued reports of an
easing spot basis in the South.
Instalmchts of the monthly local crop
reports. published before the opening,
indicated that the condition had i'm
proved in the states of Mississippi,
Alabama and Louisiana, as compared
with month ago. The weekly re-
views Of various authorities also made
a favorable showing. except as to
drouthy conditions in parts Of Texas.
The opinion quite generally expressed
around the ring. however, was that the
crop was doing well over about 90 per
celt of the total area, and complaints
attracted little attention. One of the
private cables received from Liverpool
said that futures there were neglected,
but that offerings from the South arc
distinctly increasing. with the basis
easier.
Prices comnare as folIous.

Cotton Goods Trade

Cotton goods for other than govern

cially on heavy cloths.
The immensely OF government cotton
goods orders has exceeded all predic-
tons Of the trade, and there arc further
large purchasing plans coming to a
head that are expected to strengthen
prices regardless of the course of the
staple. Scarcity of many widths,
weights and counts of cloths is noted,
and substitutions are being accepted in
a moderate way. There is also ten
dency to offer at retail within certain
fixed price ranges. Production is not
up to capacity, owing to labor condi-

Export demand is fair, but not so
broad as it was week or two ago.

The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say; ~
The Kid we have. loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thought him child, baby
With never a care at all.
But his country called him man-siZe
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and the drum
He bowed his head to Old Glory $50
And thought that it whispered:
Gomez" e-.- .:t
The Kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with PATHOLOGY
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
1t seems but little while -
Since he drilled a schoolboy army ..
In truly martial style, 49,.
But now he's a man, a soldier, Fl.
And we lend him listening ear, 49,
For his heart is a heart all loyal, o..
Unscourged by the curse OF fear.
His dad. when he told him, shuddered,
His MOTHERHOOD bless her;-cried
Yet blest with a. mother nature,
She wept with pride. =
But he whose shoulders Strengthened
Was Granddad-for memory ran
To years, when he, too, youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to man!
