FLOODS STILL RAGE

Three Daily Trains Handle
Work of Nine Roads.

Seattle, Jan. Though the heavy
rain OF the past several days ceased
before noon today, tbs change in the
weather brought little relief to west
ern Washington railroads, traffic still
being demoralized by heavy floods in
all coastal streams
Three daily trains between Seattle
and Portland are handling all the traf-
fic of nine local, seven transcontinen-
tai and two Spokane trains. This ar
rangement, compelled by flood condi-
tons. will continue indefinitely as the
result of freight congestion. Three
railroads. the Great Northern, North

This is an excellent plan for pa

great and lasting good to their coun-
try as well as to the people they start
saving" says a statement from Turner.
Sales Here Are Light.
The sale of the war stamps in Mis-
soula has not been vigorous, for the
reason that no concentrated effort has
been made here. To remedy the con-
dition the director suggests that every
union and lodge appoint at least one

an agent with n good stock of thrift
cards and thrift stamps" says Mr.
Turner, "and 500 added would supply a
stock of war savings certificates and
stamps. This money can be turned
over and over again each time the
stock Is sold out. In fact, the agent
can replenish his stock from the local
postoffice or bank at any time. Many
banks will allow their customers to
take out stamps and cards and sell
them to bring the money in every day

Turkeys total war debt, according
to the "Frankfurter Zeitung," amounts
to 230 million pounds $3.50 million dol
lars), and together with the loans the
government had made during the Bal
kan wars she owes at present 388 mill
ion pounds Gone Turkish pound equals
about four dollars). Of this sum,
Turkey owes Germany 200 million
pounds (S800,00O,00O), and Austria 40
million pounds.
Discussing the Turkish budget for

rest, 80 u millions, will be by means of
$50 loan in Constantinople
The expenses Of the year 1918 up
to the present amount to 1923 million
pounds; the total war expenses, incIud-
ing the war materials and military
supplies purchased in Berlin, will
amount to 23O millions. This sum, to-
gether with the 1856 million pounds
which Turkey owed before the begin

total Turkish war debt to 38S million
pounds. The loans which Turkey has
hitherto made in Germany amount to

banks to 10 millions, but the sums
which Germany has actually paid out
to Turkey amount only to 70 millions.

Cotton

The extreme nervousness which fol-
lowed the renewal of price-hxing talk
in the cotton market late on Friday had
evidently subsided overnight and prices
recovered about half their losses. There
was enough irregularity to suggest that
sentiment was still confused or unset
tied, but trade interests were particu-
larly good buyers of near months and
there was active covering by many of
Fridays sellers. Late deliveries were
held back by the favorable average of
crop and weather news, but responded
partially to the near-month strength,
with the general list closing firm at
net advance of 20 to 38 points.
The attention of the trade seemed to
be pretty we'll divided between the
uncertainties of the pricc-fxing propo-
sition, the strength of the spot markets
and the favorable weather news. But
the heavy selling of late Friday had
left the market in a better technical
position and the trend of prices was
decided by the renewal of trade de-
mand. The market opened at an ad-
vance of to II points, sold "a to 80
points net higher in the late trading
and closed within or points of the
best.
Various opinions were expressed
around the ring as to the probable out
come Of the conference which is sched-
uled for next Wednesday between rep
resentatives Of the cotton goods trade
and the War Industries Board. 1t was
recalled that two or three weeks ago
members of the cotton goods trade
went to Washington to discuss the
price situation, with view to devils
ing means for checking runaway mar
ket. No action was taken. Since then
there have been further advances in
cotton goods. and it is also believed
that the government is about to place
further enormous orders for equipping
vastly increased armies. There was
nothing to throw any further light
upon the objects of the conference or
the policies likely to be adopted than
was afforded by the announcements
received late on Friday.
Some in the raw cotton trade felt
that there might be definite price fixing
for goods, applying to both government
and civilian business; others felt that
price fixing might apply only to gov
ernment purchases, and still others
that regulation of profits and control
of distribution was more likely than
more drastic measures. Aside from
this, it was pointed out that most lines
of goods are selling far above parity
with raw material, and it is generally
understood that additional legislation
would be necessary before prices on
raw cotton can be fixed arbitrarily
Good rains were reported in the CEN
trail belt and parts of the West, and
