New Equipment Orders

Government equipment orders re-
Gently placed are said to have provided
for the manufacture of 10000 freight
cars, OF which 10000 are for the use OF
the American eXpeditionary forces in
France. The remaining 10000 are des-
tined for Italy. The government has
now placed contracts for 10000 freight
cars Of various designs in less than
seven months. The first big order
which came from the raillo DAD admin
istraton last Ma! called for 100000
cars. These are known as the ~. S. R. y
cars, TO distinguish them from the for
cign type for service in France and
Italy 1t is predicted in equipment cir
cles that before the end Of 1918 the
government will have ordered approx
mately 100000 cars from American
manufacturers, both for domestic and

"Things to Think About"

The American Exchangc National
Bank in its November letter, discussing
the after-the-war problems which the
United States Will have to face, makes
these timely suggestions: "Elect to
both houses Of Congress men of inde-
pendent thought and broad vision who
will be able to navigate the ship Of
state through the reconstruction period
that will follow the end Of the war. Let
us guard our own rights at home which
are threatened by the socialism made
in Germany for export to other coun-
tries Russia has already reapcd the
whirlwind. and America will feel its
pressure when peace is restored. Send
men to Congress who will guard the
franchise rights Of the states, munici-
palties and people, and will sense the
needs Of the business and industries Of
the United States"

Brokers have, moreover, still an
other complaint in the matter. 1t
will be recalled that the reports
Of borrowings were first made on
September 8, and it was gen
orally understood that the loans out
standing on that date would be
regarded as the maximum amount
that should be allowed. In the
liquidation which cnsued in the
next few days brokers' reduced
their loans rather heavily. with the
result that they were about at the
minimum, in most cases, week
later. Now it is all at once discov-
cred that the amounts outstanding
on September l6 are to be regarded
as the maxima that the various
houses may borrow. That ruling

Cotton

There was a continuation Of the sell
ing movement in cotton yesterday and
a further sharp decline in prices. Jan
uary contracts sold off to o7.3O, making
decline OF SO points from Wednes-
days closing figures and Of no less
than three cents pound from the
high price of last Monday. There ap-
peared to be no fresh factor connected
with the selling. but the failure of
improving peace prospects to stimulate
demand evidently encouraged bearish
sentiment. and the trade IS doubtless
looking for increased pressure from the
big aVailabl supplies of spot cotton
in the South. The general list closed
barely steady at net decline Of o5
to rs points.
The market opened weak at a decline
OF 10 TO "a points, with active months
selling 40 to SO points net lower i'm
medlately after the call under Liver
pool. Wall Street and other local cover
ing. There was a good deal of cover
ing at the lower level, which was pro
moted by prospects for another cold
snap in the Southwest and reports
that Southern spot holders were refus-
ing to sell at the decline. This caused
rallies of some 50 or 20 points durinq
the middle of the morning. The mar
ket soon weakened again. Stop orders
were uncovered as prices broke into
new low ground, with active months
showing net losses of 20 to 50 points
during the middle OF the afternoon.
Later fluctuations were irregular. with
rallies on covering but barely main
