Cotton Goods Market in "Dumps.-

Peace rumors in measure have up
set the cotton goods market and a period
of depression seems to have set in. Logi-
cal reasons for this are said TO be hard
to find. Some large jobbers and con-
rerters have suddenly stopped buying.
but why they have adopted a pessimistic
attitude Is unknown.
II may be that the belief Is prevalent
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-10-21

that as soon as peace Is declared the
Government will cancel Its contracts for
STAPLE goods. But even II this should
be the case It Is pointed out there will be a
general demand for them. That the
army will need clothing while demobil-
iza ton is going on Is well understood
and Europe Is believed certain to be in
need OF large quantities.

BY ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, Jan. Public peace ne
gotiations are now in progress De-
tween the allies and the central pow
ers. This Is the inevitable conclusion
from the open declarations being made
by the various belligerent statesmen.
The negotiations are not following
the time worn custom Of handing over
the fates of nations to few secret
plenipotentiaries who have settled the
outcome Of previous wars behind closed
doors.
Instead Of duplicating these proceed
ings of the past. the people OF the
warning nations are now being public
ly informed Of every move the nego-
tiations take. The negotiations them
selves, are simply these announce
ments OF the hostile statesmen spoken
not principally to one another, but to
the millions of people of all nations
who are doing the fighting and the
suffering.
KAISER LOSING GROUND.
The kaiser has demanded from the
start that peace exchanges be con-

The decision of the court was unani-

draft objectors that congress did not
have the power to draft citizens, the
chief justice said:
LAS the mind cannot conceive an
army without the men to compose it.
on the face of it, the question that I
does not give power to provide for
such men would seem to be too frv-
olous for further notice."
The ground for opposition to the

exercised provided the citizen consents
to its ex.ertion is in no substantial
vense a power.

USING
GRAIN FOR MONEY
Government Offers Articles in
Trade for t--Coins Have En-
tireIy Disappeared.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S:-Industrial
conditions in Austria have become SO
bad that money has entirely disap-
peared and business has reverted to
primitive barter. Grain is the meas
ure of value. and the government Is
Offering to trade various articles to the
farmers for 1t.
After three attempts to commander
grain and -four without getting enough
for army purposes, the government Is
now trying to coax wheat out OF Its
hiding places by offering. for example,
q pouch of smoking tobacco for a peck
of -four or a peck and a half OF wheat,
a pair of shoes for a barrel of flour
or its equivalent in wheat: a spool OF
thread for a bushel of wheat: a shovel
for two bushels OF wheat, and 70 on.
Information reaching the WA Trade
Board shows equally interesting condi-
tions In Germany. Soap has quite dis
appeared. 1t is not used for toilet pur-
poses except by the very rich, who
pay S1.25 for a little cake about the
size of a silver dollar. The hardest
thing to get in Germany is a spool OF
thread. Al much red tape Is required
to buy one. even al the price of $3.50.
as is required now in Washington to
get a passport to travel in France.
The clothing situation, owing to the
lack of raw materials. Is becoming
desperate. In May the government
decided to get wooden clothes for the
army by a requisition on the civil pop
ulation, but 1t did not yield the clothes.
The government threatened to go into
households and take what 1t required.
What sthe outcome of this effort has
been is not known here
The German merchant class are be-
ginning to dread the prospect of an
A01-A-afn mn nffor tho war The
problem of raw material is vital to
them. One of the principal German
trade journals recently published an
article favoring not only a league or
nations for political purposes, but for
the distribution of raw materials. The
business interests are in full sympa-
thy with the Marquis Lansdowne's
proposal to end the war before every
thing worth fighting for is destroyed.

Will Continue Room Canvass;
One Hundred Have Been Listed

The extreme hot weather has set
back to q great extent the captains
and teams who had offered their SER
vices in the canvass of room for the
branch of the United States Registra-
ton service, located here.
It was expected the work of cover
ing the city would be completed by
last night, but 1t has been found adj
visable to continue the work for three
Or four days more, in order to give
the committees an opportunity to
'1ne comb the city for every roopi
which may be used by the service sec
ton in the housing of workmen.
Manager f. C. Bassett, in charge
OF the branch here. stated today that
100 furnished rooms have been listed
to date. Aside from these two flats
have been listed, four vacant houses
have been discovered and classified,
and a number of unfurnished rooms
listed.
There seems to be an impression
about the city that only furnished
rooms are desired for the housing of
the wal workers, IN view of this fact
many have failed to list rooms, be-
cause they were not furnished. Man.
ager Bassett wishes TO impress upon
the people. that not only furnished
rooms are wanted. put unfurnished
any place Mt 70 place a bed upon
which a person can sleep, is desired.
Light housekeeping rooms are
greatly in demand. but up to the pres
ent time only a few rooms which can
be used for this purpose have been
listed. Those having rooms. which.
with a little outlay OF money can be
converted into quarters for the use
of light housekeeping are urged 20
list them as soon al possible.
With the close Of the c~anvassing,
the listing of the rooms and homes
will not be stopped. and Il Is desired
that citizens of the city who from time
to time have a vacant room in their
house. which can be rented to some
yorker in the employment OF the gov
eminent. or in a factory working on
war orders, list 1t with the Homes
Registration Service.
Miss Mabel Emmons, of Freneau,
has been employed as clerk In the
office of the service. in the Board of
Trade rooms and will have charge of
the filing and classifying OF the rooms
and other routine work.
