Yesterdays
Cotton Goods Trade


The demand for cotton goods con-
tinued broad and active throughout the
last week, and prices advanced still
further. The call for heavy goods con-
tinued d prominent feature of the mar
ket. Many lines of goods have been
withdrawn, as mills hesitated TO sell
under existing conditions for long term
deliveries unless for government or
other war purposes. Jobbers continued
as active buyers.
Sheetings were much higher and
frmer. Print cloths were being bought
for delivery to the end of the half year
Of 1918. All colored goods were higher,
some Of them advancing more than two
cents a yard The demand for domets.
cotton blankets and other mapped
goods continues broad. with supplies
short in first hands. Knit goods for
fall were opened at prices from 90 10
90 per cent higher than a year ago,
and the demand is active. Prices quoted
are as follows:
Print cloths, 2s-inch, 6lxG4s, s24
cents; 64x60s, S3s cents; 3Sis-inch,
G4x64s, 12l3 cents; brown 'sheetings,
Southern standards, 10 cents; denims,
2.20s, indigo, 80 cents; tickings, g.
ounce. 35 cents (at value); prints, II -
cents; staple ginghams, Is cents;
dress ginghams, l7hs to 1Sls cents.

How the British
Treat the Problem

The first thing that will greet the eye
Of traveller who lands upon English
soil day will no doubt be great post
ers on all walls and billboards, all urg-
ing the people to "EAT LESS BREAD" ."
In fact, at the present time the most
energetic advertising and educational
campaign which England i, carrying on
i. in the matter OF teaching the people
70 eat less bread. Everywhere the
great signs are flashing out their ap-
peal to the people. On a wall over
looking Piccadlly Circus there is an ar
tstic sign, illuminated md illustrated
BY well executed cartoons, which reads:
MAKE THE MENU BEAT THE y
MEN" Another says: IF U FAST
THE U-MEN u BEAT. THE U-MEN
BEAT L If U FEAST" Still others
bid the people DEFEAT THE En-
EMY'S ATTEMPT TO STARVE YOU"
And on each table at the hotels and
restaurants there are the cards urging
the diners to eat less sugar or do with
out it altogether. One cannot possibly
live for an hour in any part OF England
without having the necessity of food
conservation impressed upon him.
The people are not merely requested
TO have meatless meals and meatles.
days; such things are a necessity. All
meals are vheatless meals in the sense
that one cannot secure anywhere in
Europe white bread made Of wheat
-four. All bread is war bread, black
and hard stuff. made of a certain guam
tity OF wheat -four and a certain guam
tity of beans or some other foreign
matter. And person can have but one
small slice or one small roll at each
meal-he need not ask for more.

Stocks


Leading stocks az the outset were
heavy, the railroad issues especially
showing a tendency 70 move in a down
ward direction.
Industrisls also were moderately un-
settled with shippings and prominent
specialties, but these revorsals were al
most entirely overcome in the last hour,
United States Steel, coalcrs and motors
leading a fairly spir-ted recovery.
United States steel rallied from Us
low OF 9lia 20 point over that level,
Maxwell Motors gained ga points, the
first preferred and the second pre-
ferred 81. points.
Harvester Company rallied 3 points
from is recent depression, Anaconda
Copper was firm and General Electric
and American Telephone improved =
point or more.
Hartman Corporation, one Of the
more obscure specialties, stood out by
reason Of its extreme weakness, losing
10 points on a few sales. a steady tone
prevailed at the close.
Bonds we're slightly lower on small
offerings. Liberty Is sold at 97.76 %
$3.50. and the Si4s at 9S.sS to $3.50. Old
issues Of United States bonds were un-
changed on call during The week

Potatoes in the
Kings s Front Yard

Not ony is such care taken 20 pre-.
vent waste, but Europe is quite a,
careful in the matter OF production.
The front yard OF Buckingham Palace,
the London residence Of the King and
Queen, is planted with potatoes. The
government has taken over all the va
cant ground in the country, letting ID
TO persons who will cultivate il, and
this applies 20 the vacant lots, the back
yards, the right OF way Of all rail-
rosds. and all other vacant spots. Every
available spot OF ground is being used
in strenuous attempt 90 produce
enough food 10 feed the people.
The attempts OF Italy TO feed herself
nre really pathetic 20 one who is seeu,-
toned 20 the broad lands OF this eoun-
try. In Italy-Northern Italy. especial
ly-all the dirt is growing something.
II a small bit of soil is found on the
side or top OF a peak OF the Alps. III,
peasant ha. clambered there and plant
ed grain; sometimes they even carry
soil from the valley in baskets TO rein
force the sparseness OF the dirt in
certain spot. And one can see patches
Of grain so small that he will scarcely
believe that il is a serious attempt a.
agriculture. ! visited one wheat field
in Italy after the grain had been har.
vested, and the entire crop vas thirt.ea

The Northwestern Miller contends
that bakers should make a strong ef-
fort to meet the public demand with
cheaper loaf instead OF protesting
that it was impossible.
Nothing is impossible" says the
milling journal. ut is up to the bak-
'ers to produce loaf that will satisfy
requirements; it may not be the kind
OF loaf they prefer to make; it may not
be equal in quality to the standard
they want TO maintain, yet, in some
fashion. it can be done and should be
done, and if the bakers will not make
an honest and an earnest attempt TO do
it. it will be done without their CO.
operation and despite them. Too many
bakers refuse to realize that the couu-
try is at war. They cling pathetically
20 the idea that while there is a war in
Europe 10 does not affect conditions in
the United States, and, therefore, they
can continue in the future. as they
have in the past. TO perform their func-
tions in the usual manner, regardless Of
public protests and the increasing de-
mand OF a large number of people for
cheaper loaf"
THE Northwestern Miller" has no
sympathy for many of the experiments
which have been proposed, whereby
municipal and other authorities, with
out practical experience, are to under
take enterprises which have for their
object the provisioning of the public
Il firmly believes that, as a rule, the
people are best and most economically
served by those whose legitimate bust
ness il is TO serve them, but when il is
impossible TO accomplish definite re-
suits through established agencies, and
these refuse to take the initiative in
meeting an insistent demand, it be-
comes necessary for others to act, and
the experimentalist in food economy is
justified in making the attempt to solve
the difficulty.

How Old Was Jesus

". E.-How old was Jesus at the
time lie was cruciiied?
We know neither the date of Christ's
birth nor the duration of His life. The
gospels do not agree on these points.
According to legend, Jesus died at the
age of thirty, but Irenaus tells US
that "Hc lived every age of life, 20
as TO serve as an example for every
one; as a child. a grown man and an
old man; the duration OF His life was
at least fifty years. (Liber II, chap.
xxi, 3, 4, 81 This statement seems also
attested by ST. Paul in the words
"Prncipatum tenuit in omnibus"-
That in all things he might have the
preeminence" (Colossians j, l8); as
well as in the Gospel according to St.
John. where the Jews reproach Jesus
with these words: Thou art not yet
fifty years old, and hast Thou seen
Abraham ?" (St. John, viii, 80. These
words would be quite incomprehensi
bic if Jesus had not been supposed to
be at the time about fifty years OF age.

Rain After Battles

III. W.-Has the discussion regard
ing rain after battles at last been de-
cided one way or the other?
To have done with all these discus
sions, it will suffice TO call to mind
that there has never been such a prod
igslity of munitions as at the begin
ming of the new offensive on the Isonzo
front and that the weather was never
more radiant than at the time when
the uproar Of artillery surpassed any
thing human imagination can con-
ceive? The same can also be said in
regard to the last battle OF Verdun,
which started with breaking loose
of the most violent artillery fire of
all calibres under a sky remarkable
for its clearness and serenity.
Rainfalls are governed by the law
of rcpartition of the temperatures in
the atmosphere, and TO break the
equilibrium and bring about rain re-
quires so great an energy as cannot
be attributed 10 such a feeble cause
as that determined BY the local vibrs-
tions produced even By the most in
tense firing Of cannon.

Industrial
Cotton.

The cotton market yesterday was
quiet. the smaller volume of business
rejecting the reduction in outstanding
accounts which has occurred since the
advance of last Monday. Fluctuations
we're irregular, but in general the trend
Of nrices was downward under further
selling for profits. Reports OF increased
spot offerings had weakening effect
on the market. January contracts
eased off from 29.53 to 1896. and the
market generally closed At net declines
Of to 13 points.
Continued trade buying and scattered
covering by shorts caused rallies early
In the day, which met increased offer
ings. including some selling from
Southern sources. Near months were
again relatively easy, and IT was
impression that further deliveries will
be made on December contracts. Late
in the morning there were numerous
reports Of an easier spot situation IN
the South, leading to liquidation By
early buyers and rather more aggres-
sve local selling.
Reports Of a continued good demand
for heavyweight cotton goods and IN
creased spinners takings for the week
were the chief features discussed on
the early rally, and there was some
trade buying Of January. IL was also
reported that a leading spot firm had
been a good buyer in Atlantic markets
late on Friday, believed 10 be for the
account of foreign government.
Since the market sold at 1880 for De-
cember contracts on last Monday, how
ever, the general disposition has beer
10 even up commitments for over the
the approaching government reports.
