Dry Goods Review

New York, october 12-The decline in raw cotton. the uncertainty of war conditions, and the prevalence of in fluenza in mill communities, all tended toward lessening the demand for cot ton goods during the week. The gov ernment business continues large and mills are forced to give it a greater share of attention owing to the in- ability to keep all machines in op- eration. Civilian production has been growing lighter and deliveries on old orders for civilians are still very much delayed.
 Standard prints were priced for a new season an a bisis of 21ac lower than the last ruling price, and the coL- diticns surrounding trade were indi- cated by the announcement that no prices would be guaranteed, no stock protection could be given. and no de- liveries could be engaged for later thar January l. Payments must also be on 2-10-60 terms. The jobbers have issued new list prices conforming with the list prices fixed for manufactu- rers by the war industries board and retailers have been urged to cooperate with the government in stabilizing prices.
 Civilian consumption is declining because of high prices and many econ omes that are being forced, Prices quoted are as follows:
 Printcloths, 23-inch 64S64s, 12M c; 64x6cs, 11Ac; 3s1a inch 64x64's, 16is ?; brown sheetings, southern standards. 20kc; denims, 22o southern indigo s7hc; tickings, S-oz., 3Sssc prints, 1shc; staple ginghams, 19hc; dress glnghams. 22c to 24c.

WEEKLY METAL

New York, October 12.-Shortage Of steel has necessitated further curtall- menr in supply for finishing shops.
 Government requirements for the most part call for rails, shell steel anu barbed wire for use in France, and to meet this it has been found necessary to reduce the output of sheet bars Government estimates are without material alteration and deficit or about 4,000,000 tons has yet to be met.
 The untitled tonnage in the books cf the United States Steel corporation at the end of September amounted to o,- y97,905 tons as against S,T59,043 on July 31. a decrease of 461,13S tons. September output of pig iron was g. 41S.27o tons, as compared with 3,3s9.- 5S5 in August. The daily rate Of pro- duction, 113,942 gross tons, was Ge heaviest average on record. The near est to this being 113,189 tons in Oc- tober. 1916 While production has been as satisfactory as could be eX- pected it has all been absorbed as quickly as produced ana the supply is still short. No new business worth mentioning is reported and all iron distributed has been on government account. Prospects for a heavy out turn during October are excellent.
 The price of copper to be effective after October 31 will be determined in Washington on or about October lS
 It is generally conceded that the nresent price of 2sc will be continued The supply of refined copper is no more than sufficient to meet war re- quir ements
 Lead continues scarce at the estab- lished price Spelter is quiet and easy The government is in practical control of tin. and all importers and dealers will require /to be licensed. The new regulations as to price and distribution are not yet known. Meanwhile the market is neglected witt light offerings, but no fingers. The spot price ranges between 82 and S3 cents.

 "Oh, yes, pretty often,' declared the youth.
 What brand do you generally smoker" was the next question.
 Robinson Crusoe. sir," came the re- ply.
 The customer pondered while.
 q never heard of that brand" hs said.
 Its name I've given 'em myself" said the youth. You see, guv'nor. old Crusoe was castaway."

IL the amount of strong and swift

nailed as the most remarkable drama

The picture a splendid William Fox

The bill also includes Alta Screen

Next to the brilliant action. which
Mr.. Farnum dominates In his always
forceful style, the keynote of Trough

The film treats of the eternal trian-
gle' in a nasterful and unusual, way.
Just where the picturegoer expects
that the story will follow a timehonor-

forward In different manner. II

Rough and Ready Is also unusual
In point of the extraordinary finished
performances contributed by every
member of the .big company appearing
this year can boast of a higher stand
ard of historonic merit than is dis
played in this folm.
In every other essential detail, the
production is equally unusual--in the
quality of the photography in the
novelty of the double and triple ex-
pOsures. in the beautiful settings in the
snow-covered mountains, in the ex-
cellence of direction by Richard STAN
ton, and in the dramatic value of the
story.
Mr.. Farnum's work is never any

success which has earned for him the

Red Cross Asks Exemption
OF No One From Service

| In responce to queries from several
of the Red Cross divisions regarding
the policy of the national oTganiza-
tion with respect to the employment
of men within the draft age, the act
| ing general manager has issued the
statement that follows:
"Our policy in respect to enrolling
such men in foreign service is as
follows: They are not accepted un-
less they have been placed in class 5,
/ section C. because of physical disabil-
| ity, and Furthermore. unless the dis.
ability is visual. This removes all
question as to whether the representa-
tives of the Red Cross in foreign serv.
ice should be in the army, as at a
glance it can be seen that they would
not be qualified for such service. Tine
same policy applies in respect to men
enrolled for service in camps and can
tcnments in this country.
Our policy in respect to enrolling
such men at Division Headquarters is
as follows: The Red Cross has never
asked for the exemption of any one
and does not expect to do so. There
fore, any man so enrolled at Division
Headquarters is nevertheless in all re-
spects subject to the draft. In re-
srect, however to those men who have
been placed in class 4, because of de-
tendency, or placed in class ) G, be-
cause of physical disability as above
set forth. and are not therefore avail
able for military service but who must
under the recent ruling of the Provost
Marshal General be engaged in some
useful work., our position is. that such
men so employed in importan posi-
tions with the Red Cross are within
the Provost Marshal's ruling and
should be retained in Red Cross serv- /
ice.
I'm the event of this question arising
each individual case should be ex-
amined and passed upon by a respon-
sible Red Cross official in the Division
office"
