Metals

The steel trade was at first perplexed
by the governments recent price fixing
announcement for steel, iron and coke,
but obscure points have been cleared
up by conferences of manufacturers
with the War Industries Board. An
important point settled is that existing
contracts will not be abrogated.
The pig iron committee of the Iron
and Steel Institute will soon meet with
government authorities TO establish
differential prices on various classes of
pig iron and later similar action will
be taken with other products affected,
and the institute steel committee will
soon resume distribution of orders for
the United States and the Allies.
The public, nominally entitled to buy
at the same prices as the government.
will have little benefit from this, as
war needs must be met first and these
amount now TO 100000 tons. Orders

Cotton

In the absence Of definite reports as
to the extent Of the crop damage In
ficted by the recent Gulf storm. the
cotton market yesterday was unsettled.
Quotations at one time during the day
showed gains ranging from to 10
points, but before the close weak
feeling became apparent. final transac-
tions being at net declines of 4 to IL
points. The trade was inclined to take
hopeful view Of the crop situation.
though generally prepared for some
reduction in the governments crop es-
innate to be issued Tuesday. and even
ing up transactions for over the week
end developed more pressure to sell
than to buy. The easing OF spot prices
in the Southwest had an influence on
speculative sentiment.
An official cable message from the
Liverpool Cotton Association said that
the new contract to be used there be-
ginning Monday was called an emer-
gency contract, and had the approval
Of the British government. With the
reopening Of that market trading in
futures will be permitted in five
months, beginning with January. 1t
will be in single months instead of
double months, as previously, and the
basis Of the contract will be good
middling instead of middling. Daily
fluctuations will be limited to Id, equal
to approximately 200 American points.
Otherwise there will be no restrictions
upon business, except that orders will

Exchange having voted that the board
of managers appoint committee to
formulate plans for trading under the
so-called Southern warehouse plan. q
special meeting of the managers has
the matter. For a number of years
past there has been a sentiment in the
market here favorable to the Southern
warehouse scheme. This sentiment has
been strengthened by transportation
conditions resulting from the war. and
the difficulty of bringing cotton here
for delivery on contract. Should the
Southern warehouse plan go through,
which will doubtless depend upon
whether practical trading plans can be
devised. it will be possible to settle
New York contracts by making deliv-
cries of cotton in warehouses in cot
ton sections TO be licensed and super
vised by the New York Cotton Ex-
change officials. This would obviate
the necessity of maintaining a stock
of cotton in New York for the protec-
tion Of hedge sellers. and would be
expected to lessen the likelihood of vio-
lent fluctuations in maturing months.

German Emperor

j. F.-What is the correct title OF
William II-Emperor of Germany, or
German Emperor? What is the differ
ence, II any, between these two titles
The imperial title of the King of
Prussia is German Emperor" and
not Emperor Of Germany" There is
a big difference between these titles.
Emperor of Germany" would imply
the Emperor's reign over the German
countries, but such reign does not
exist. The various German countries
are sovereign, and the King of Prussia
is only in so far the Emperor as he is
president of the federation entered
into by the German states. Besides,
the constitution of the German Empire,
by which the King of Prussia received
the title Of Emperor, expressly states
that his title as president of the feder-
alton should b German Emperor"

The Use of Salt

H. F.-Why do we put salt on our
meats? .........
For two reasons. In the first place,
there are two principal salts in our
body, and their supply must be kept
up. There are sodium salts and potas-
SUM salts. A sufficient amount Of the
latter is in the food we eat, but not
so Of the former. We, therefore, add
the sodium salts, of which the kind
used on food is sodium chloride. An
other reason why we should eat COM
mon salt is that a certain amount of
hydrochloric acid is needed by the
stomach for the purposes of digestion,
and also to kill off some of the
microbes we swallow. The acid is
manufactured in the stomach from
hydrogen, and the chlorine Of common
salt. We take more salt with some
meats than with others, because some
naturally contain less salt than others.
So b.. our condiments We seek to even
up things.

wv HEN tho steamer on which
w sailed to Europe landed st an
W English port and was boarded
by the military officials I was some
what surprised to sec among them
women in uniform, who were serving
a. clerks. This was my first introduc-
ton to a long routine OF activities IN
which the women Of Europe are en-
gagged.
Al, matter Of fact. the women are
almost as important as the men IN
carving on the business and even tne
military duties Of the various couh-
tries. They have risen to the ocea
siob in a truly wonderful way and
have made themselves indispensable;
the heroism they have displayed and
the sacrifices they have been willing 10
make have been among the remarkable
DEVELOPMENTS OF the war. There is no
duty too arduous and no task too great
for them to undertake, and the fact
that they have succeeded in pursuits
which hitherto have been closed 10
them has given to the feminist move
ment in it's larger aspects the greatest
impetus it has ever received.
II is not too much to say that in
every section of Europe woman occu'
pies . place Of Importance in the lie
Of the times and has secured a larger
respect from the various countries than
could have been possible before the
war. Whatever else 1t has done, the
struggle has meant the new birth OF
womankind into q broader field OF So
cial and political existence. Whether
or not this mas made for the real bet
terment Of the sex is an open que'-
ton; I personally very much doubt II,
but the inevitable has happened and
the new situation is here. so Europe
must reckon with it as best she can
and make the most Of it.
When the tocsin Of war called the
best and strongest men OF the coun-
tries to arms it meant an instant de-
pletion of the ranks Of industry. The
stores, railways, Offices and industrial
plants found themselves bereft OF
their employees end faced with democrat
ization. The entire fabric of business
and social life was threatened, and
this situation was fraught with great
and imminent dangers. Naturally. the
first experiment was to leave at home
the men necessary to the business life,
but the war was prolonged and it was
seen that the demands were too great
to be met by small percentage OF the
people. All hands were demanded, and
it was then that the women began to-
offer their services and to be accepted
experimentally and with some mis-
givings. But if these women have dis
appointed in any particular there are
no evidences of the fact. They have
now become quite as efficient as the
men, and since their ranks have not
been disturbed by the disputes, strikes,
and demands which are so incident to
industry In these days, it may be fairly
argued that their service has been as
acceptable to the employers as the
former service rendered by men.

Cereals

Wheat.-Receipts Of wheat at West
ern points last week showed q gain of
about 100000 bushels over the previous
week, but were over 100000 bushels
behind last year. Farmers are not SELL
ing freely, and while this is partially
accounted for by the efforts being put
forth to plan record acreage this fall,
some authorities still maintain that
the farmer is not satisfied with the
fixed prices. Mills still complain of
their inability to get wheat to grind,
yet the rate at which they are now
turning out -four would seem to show
that they are getting at least their
normal amount.
COrn.-The action of the market sug-
gested as frmer technical position as a
result of the selling on Friday, and
early in the day prices were frmer,
with a good demand from shorts. Colder
weather in the Far Northwest, with
predictions of light frosts in portions
Of the belt, was largely responsible
for the covering movement, as the
trade still felt somewhat apprehensive
of damage. It was the prevailing i'm
preston, however, that large part of
the corn crop is beyond danger OF
damage, by light frost, and the Weather
Bureau expressed the belief that there
was little danger of temperatures get
ting down low enough to hurt the crop.
After the early buying movement
had spent itself the Market became re-
dictionary, and prices lost part of the
advance, closing y to 1lsc net higher.
The December position again showed
the greatest strength, and it was evil
dent that the trade takes a bullisl.
view Of the prospects of an active de-
mand for the early movement. The
attitude Of the trade seems TO be more
against changing the maximum price.
and this is acting as a lettering in
huence on the bull side. At the same
time. sellers are still inclined 10 be
cautious, as the market becomes easily
oversold and prices rally quickly from
depressions. The situation abroad is
strong, owing to light shipments from
exporting countries, and the labor dis
turbances in Argentina are checking
what little movement there was from
that direction. Old cash corn is COM
ing down steadily toward the new crop

NEW ORLEANS Oct. 1.--As reports are be-
ginning 60 come In. all doubt is being dispelled
with respect to damage caused by the storm

tropical disturbance and the map this morning
shows temperatures low "A into central

crop prospects do not surpass those Of last wear

tinued cool weather for the eastern half Of the
belt increasing clOUdiness and warmer in the
western half. with rainy weather following to-
wards Thursday. A report from North Carolina
says; Heavy, continuous rains caused Zig
damage to crops, and Montgomery says: The
most serious loss is 20 the cotton crop, which
was badly damaged in all the south Alabama

Journal Of Commerce makes condition as Of
September %, 64.5. against 69.6I the month
previous.
Liverpool was unchanged on old contracts, tut
about 80 down on new; spot prices unchanged
on old, SO higher on the new spot basis, which
is good middling instead of mddling. With
the grade lowered by the storm in Alabama and
the Atlantics. the premium the better grades
is liable to increase.
Our market opened about unchanged eased
