 The stoppage of sinkings by u- boats, the monthly increase in new ship tonnage and the releasing or ships now engaged in supply ing the fleets of the allies. together with the freeing of space previously used in sending munitions to Europe. will mean a large increase in available tonnage for cotton exports.

THINKS RULE WILL
 STABILIZE COTTON
(Arkansas GaZette)

(ArkdnSdS GdZetteD
 o. o. Scroggins, member Of Little Rock Cotton Exchange, last night said that it is expected the new gov ernment order stopping the sale of futures except against actual spot cotton will stabilize the market and put it on a better basis.
 Fluctuations in the cotton market at both New York and New Orleans have been so violent and trading con- ditions so irregular with the tendency altogether on the downward side that the government has issued orders to stop the selling of cotton for future deliveries for speculative purposes. No sale for future deliveries can now be executed except upon affidavit that the sale is made against actual spot cotton Cotton dealers generally believe that this may cause more stability in the market and it is hop ed that this will check the decline.
 There was slump yesterday of S1O per bale and again another de- cline of $7.50 per bale. equivalent to $17.5O within AS hours. This is very serious loss to planters and hold CTS of cotton.

EXPLAINS BAN ON
 COTTON SPECULATION
IS DUE TO TUESDAYS UNDUE SHORT SELLING, SAYS MR. BRAND-EUROPE NEEDS ALL COTTON AVAILABLE.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Speculative short selling of cotton on the New York and New Orleans exchanges has been prohibited by the Cotton Dis tribution Committee of the War In dustries Board.
 Charles J. Brand, chairman of the committee, announced the action to- day, saying it had been taken be- cause of undue short selling yester- day which caused the market to fall two cents
 MT. Brand added that short selling at this time is of doubtful wisdom, as the country is in the midst Of marketing cotton and conditions do not warrant short selling. as cotton goods stocks throughout the world are depleted and the demand for the product is bound to be great.
 Speculative interests, Mir. Brand said, are taking advantage of the sitution due to the sudden collapse of the war.
 The text of Chairman Brands tele- gram IS as fOlloWS.
 "Please read from the rostrum of your exchange before the opening Wednesday morning. post on the bull letin board and send immediately to each member firm carrying contracts the following notice: In order to curb undue speculative activity it be- comes necessary at this time to pro hibit further speculative short selling on the New York and New Orleans Cotton Exchanges and the members of these exchanges are hereby noti' fled that all further speculative short sales are prohibited. Hedge sales may be made on condition that an affidavit from the seller will follow that the sale is bona fide hedge sale against the purchase of cotton, No selling orders from foreign coun- tries, except in liquidation of long are to be executed"
 MT. Brand also issued the following formal statement outlining reasons for the prohibition order:

 "The consequences of unfounded rumors that tend to promote vicious speculative activity and cause uh- justified demobilization must be avoid ed as far as possible.

Little Rock, Nov. 13.-J. P. Buchan- an, chairman of the bankers division of the state food administration, an nounced that all food administration regulations providing for the pur- chase or use of substitutes with wheat flour were cancelled, effective immediately.
 The rules rescinded regulations re quiring that bakers use certain amounts of substitutes in the baking of bread and pastries, and that house wives be compelled to purchase cer- tain quantity of substitutes with each flour purchase.
 The cancellation of the rules was made because of the abundance of wheat in the country and the scarcity of other food articles.

ALFRED GlLBERG, NINE YEARS OLD, COMPLETES DIFFICULT TASK AFTER FOUR DAYS OF HARD WORK.

Little Alfred Gilberg, aged nine years, son of MT. and Mrs. H. Gil berg of this city, has just completed a sweater for some American soldier in France. The lad followed the new design made by the Red Cross
 said by local knitters to be a much more difficult pattern to exc cute than was the old one. Yet he did the work in four days during the spare time he had from school and his domestic duties. Alfred first learned to knit squares. Recently he told Mrs J. l. Morris, who has charge of the Red Cross work here, he wanted to knit a pair of socks or sweater for the soldiers Mrs. Nor ris furnished him with the yarn and pattern and four days later he deliv- cred to her the finished product. Mrs. Morris stated yesterday the work was excellently done and ranks with the best knitting that has been turned in to the local Red Cross rooms Alfred is now knitting on pair of socks for the soldiers.

SUMMER DELIVERIES OF
NEXT WINTERS SUPPLIES

Mr.. B. L. Winchell, Regional Di-
rector of Railroads, has called upon
all Federal Managers in the South
ern Region to instruct all Freight
Service Agents to urge upon ship
pers and industries located along and
served by the lines under his juiris-
dicton to order out during the next
three months such supplies as fuel,
raw material and other stocks as may
be needed to meet the winter de-
mands OF customers, so that the rail-
roads may be relieved as much as
possible during the bad weather and
periods of traffic congestion during
the fall and winter months.
1t is point that every effort should
be made to induce all classes of ship
pers, and more particularly the in
dustries, to follow the policy OF stock
ing up during the remaining months
OF good weather, when the flow OF
transportation is the easiest and the
demands are relatively lightest. There
is no doubt but that industries in gen.
eral, for economic reasons, have
avoided carrying large stocks, rely
ing on the railroads to meet their
current needs from day to day, or
week to week, but it is clear that if
there is an explanation made of the
great demand which the carriers will
have to meet during the coming Win
ter and the difficulties of transporta-
ton that are likely to occur (not
merely because of the total volume of
traffic but the preference that must
be given to war requirements), the
probable shortage of equipment, etc,
they will be willing to stock up for
their own protection. Many plants
operating heavily, perhaps have not
much in the way of storage facilities
but they should be induced to pro-
vide same in some manner. The
question of expense for these may, at
the moment, seem large, but the pos
sibility of having to close down an
industry for the lack of fuel and ma
terial will cause loss of far greater
amount.
