Cotton Goods Trade

The demand for cotton goods has
been broad and active and prices con-
tlnue rising Government orders are
large and other related war reuuire
ments continue to press upon the mar
kets. Fears of scarcity in many lines
of merchandise for civilian purposes
have led to many attempts to place
larger orders than mills can possibly
accept, as they are closely sold till
June on many goods and are unable to
count upon capacity output Print
cloths and many sheetings lines are
one cent a yard higher than a week
ago. bleached goods are in active de-
mand. All colored fabrics, especially
the heavier grades, such as denims
tlcklngs, cheviots, plaids, etc. are
scarce for nearby shipment. and nricos
continue to move upward without rela
tlon to cotton or other costs.

Wheat.-Advices from Washington
were to the effect that the President
will issue a proclamation placing the
price of wheat for next seasons crop
at $3.50. This will be practically the
same as has been in effect on the last
crop and was apparently considered
necessary owing to the fact that anv
material advance would have demoral-
lied the whole structure built up bv
the food administration in its price
regulating movement. Advces from
the West indicated possible damage t.,
the crop recently by the thawing and
freezing weather. Receipts at primary
points were moderate, and it is believed
that farmers .have been holding back
in expectation of higher prices being
fixed by the government.
Torn.-The market Vas easy. with
closing prices a a sc lower for future

Resumption of trading over the holi
day was attended by considerable activ-
ity and price irregularity. Rails and
equipments rose 1 to 2 points at the
outset and several specialties as~much
as 8 to 5 points.
The advance, in large measure, was
attributed to the Senate's acceptance of
the Administration railroad pro-
gramme, railway issues leading the
movement. Selling pressure was soon
exerted against speculative issues, in
cluding General Motors and Balwin Lo-
comotive, the former losing 4 points,
while Baldwin dropped points and a
total of almost points from its best

Metals

Freer movement of freight in the
South, East and West had a favorable
effect upon iron and steel activity dur
ing the last week. Interest centres
largely in the governments heavy re-
quirement for ship plates and shell
steel. 1t is learned that a considerable
tonnage of the former has failed to
measure up to specifications, owing to
the inferior grade of iron used. which
in turn may be attributed to the poor
quality Of coke furnished to the blast
furnaces. The machine equipment for
shell making is considered adequate,
but the forging capacity is still un-
equal to requirements, and until it is
increased the operations of the finish
ing shops must necessarily be re-
stricted
Improved railroad facilities within
the last few days have resulted in
more active movement of coke and
a proportionatc increase in the out
turn of iron. Receipts of the latter
at consuming points have afforded
some substantial pelief to manufact-
urers. Demand especially for basic
and steel making iron is particularly
pressing, but the furnaces are still far
behind with current obligations and
are unwilling to accept further orders
for the last half of 1918. The un-
certainty as to price after April has
also something to do with their re-
luctance.
The copper situation continues salts
factory. Outside demand is rather
quiet and supplies SO far have been
ample to meet all commercial pur-
poses.
Lead continues steady, with a fair
inquiry for shipments from the West.
Scarcity of spot tin is causing
smaller manufacturers some concern,
as the importers upon whom they rely
have practically withdrawn from the
market for the time being.
Current prices for the principal
metals, compared with those prevailing
a year ago, follow:

AMERICAN NEGRO IS
A WICKED FIGHTER
Have Utter Disregard For Dan.
ger and Display Bravery
on Battle Field.

With the American Troops in
France.-(by mail.)-American negro
soldiers in France are a source of
ending interest and amusement
to the French. who do not tire of
watching n listening as they WELD
picks and shovels, and chat as they
work in a wierd minor key.
They have shown a fearlessness
amounting almost to utter indifference
If their white officers are with them
"a carelessness where personal dan
ger Is involved that is at once amaz-
ing and sometimes annoying to the Of
Ulcers, and a desire to fight that
amounts to a mania.
The American negro soldier, in the
words OF a colonel who commands a
regiment Of them and has for years
known a good deal about their char
acteristics, is very close to a fatalist
when 1t comes to fear. Repeatedly his
own troops handy remarks among
as follows:
Don't worry about that she'll, Ras-
tus. II amt got your number on
And the she'll screams by the ne
groes who believe 1t had not their
number stand idly around and expose
themselves as they should not. The
~ OCluS lIcl
when big shells are flying about, and
seeks cover.
The first regiment which went into
action. long ago now. went in pri-
marily because 1t threatened to decim-
ate itself in inactivity. Razors and
knives came more and more freely
into play n the men demanded SO
frequently and so in%sistently Of their
Officers why they might not get some
action that it was finally arranged for
hem. They proved quite as strenuous
lighters in the line as they had be-
hind it.
1t goes without saying that the
negro soldier is as boastful as any in
q similar profession. The marines had
just covered themselves with glory in
the Chateau Thierry fight when a del
egation from a negro regiment in line
IN a quiet sector waited on the COM
handing officer and asked if they too
might not get in on the fun"
Let us go in. colonel" they said.
w are the only real fighters. The
marines are all right of course, but
Just let us have a whack at the boche.
Then the marines won't be in 1t. And
as for the rest, Lord they don't count
at ALL"
