American Man Power On III e
Western Front.

In the past month we have had
much official information as to
American participation in the war.
We know that the rate of sending
men has been greatly quickened.
and that half a million Americans,
by no means all of them fighting
troops, have reached France. We
are told this number will be increas-
ed to a million by the end of the
year, which is possible. We hear
rumors that it will reach 100000
by spring, which is unlikely.
tits also true that our Allies have
suddenly walked up to the fact that
their chief necessity is manpower.
and that tardily they have called
upon us to furnish the numbers. We
have responded without hesitation
and in a manner which will never
be forgotten by any of our Allies.
There has never been anything more
splendidly unsel6sh than American
policy in this great crisis. We have
turned our soldiers over to our Allies
to be commanded by their officers
and brigaded with their regiments.
We have dropped all else to give
our hard-pressed comrades that
which they have asked for, as we
strove to give themFfood and ships,
when they asked for these.
If we had million American
troops, fit for the firing line, in
France now, the German offensive
would stop automatically. 1t is be-
cause our Allies underesimated their
task, failing to see how fatal was
the detection of Russia, that the
present terrible summer opens before
us. But it is the last summer OF
peril. There is this reinsurance;
and already American troops are
in line in Picardy. There is an
American sector-two Of them--in
Lorraine; and still another American
force-a portion of it hailed in its
march through London-has reach
ed the training area behind the
British front.
Our casually lists are beginning
to indicate that the sad business
has begun in earnest. In a very
real sense America is arriving, and
there is no longer any mistaking the
the fact that had we failed to take
the place of Russia, had we failed
to undertake to replace the Slav, our
present Allies would have lost the
war They cansonly win it now as
our efforts are constant and unfail-
ing. Optimism which aids the
Stacker and invites the worker to
pause may yet prevent our aid from
being de itive. But nothing can
prevent IT, if we all recognize the
situation as it is. The last reserves
of the British are wellnigh in; the
last reserves of France are going in.
We can do little now, when the
decisive conflict is about to break
out again. But if we get our men
over there in sufficient numbers,
armed and equipped, when the re-
serves of our Allies and our enemies
are ex hausted, we shall be ready to
replace French and British divisions
with our own, Their mission is to
hold until we can come, ours to
come as quickly as possible. From

Weekly Cotton Review

New York. November 1.-The cotton market.has been. very weak and un- settled during the past week with prices making new low ground for the season. Selling seemed to become more confident and general as peace pros- poets improved, and the lowest prices were reached late today when January contracts sold at 2s.O7c. compared with 30.30c, the high level of last. Monday, and 3e.35c. the seasons high record es- tablished early in September.
 Until quite recently very conflict ing opinions have been expressed in local trade circles as to the influence of peace or better prospects for the ending of the war. Southern holders of spot cotton are supposed to have been influenced largely by the expe-tac tion that peace would mean higher prices and 1t has been expected by many local traders that improving prospects would mean greater determination to hold for an advance. As favorable war without stimulating demand. however, these bullish views of peace as mar ket factor were modified and the mar ket toward the end of the week seemed to be under an apprehension of can- cellations in the goods markets and unsettled conditions there which would react on the raw material.
 According to private exchanges tho decline in Liverpool was due largely to similar approximations In Manchester. and reports from the domestic goods trade said that manufacturers were already beginning to receive requests from distributors and exporters to can eel some of their orders for forward delivery.
 Another factor which has helped to unsettle the market was the reported on loans in stock exchange circles, which evidently led to selling of cotton for Wall street account which became more active as the bearish view of cotton goods conditions devel- oped. Under these circumstances re- ports of frosts in the belt and bullish private crop estimates appeared to at- tract very little attention.
 According to one of the prominent local authorities, the crop promise is now in the neighborhood of 11,600, ,o00 bales, and Chicago house places 1t at only 11,100,000 bales. Supplies have accumulated very rapidly in the south since the beginning of the season in the opinion of local brokers and the statistical position has figured largely in bearsh arguments.

DUN'S REVIEW

New York. November 1.-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 The process of discounting early peace, first begun in the highly sensitive finan- cial markets, is extending through lead- ing industrial and mercantile circles. While still largely one of sentiment, the recent change in business is now more clearly manifest in a snrinKage of actual operations that not alone results iron, governmental and other restrictions, but also from the momentous events in the war situation. Increasing hesitation among buyers, who appear in the prin- cipal centers in notably smaller num- bers is illustrative of the, turn which conditions have taken, and the more fre- quent cancellation of orders is not the least significant of the late develop ments. The views of some sellers, move over, have undergone reversal in respect to prices. and not only are offerings at concessions more common. particularly of speculative holdings. put the impress sion is spreading that further downward revisions of quotations may not be long in coming.

MOVEMENT SENDS COTTON DOWN ID SEASON RECORDS
Southern Selling Was More Active on the Decline, and Probably Influenced
 the Market

New York, November 1.-The selling movement became even more active and general and the decline even more rapid in the cotton market today with all de- liveries making new low records for the season. January contracts sold off to 26.07c. making a decline of 13e points from last nights closing figures and of 423 points from the high level of last Monday. That delivery closed at the lowest price of the day and the general list closed weak at net decline of IF to 1S6 points.
 The market opeend weak at a de- cline of 20 to A points on overnight sell ing orders and in response to weak ca bles. After showing net losses of 90 to 100 points prices rallied 40 or 50 points on bullish private crop estimates and covering promoted by talk of a strong CT technical position and claims that the spot basis was firmer. Except for cover ing, however, there appeared to be very little demand and the market weakened again during the afternoon under re- newal of general selling.
 DecemA ' brone to Nc and March to 25SSc, with the general list selling ll2 to |136 points under last nights closing figures. According to private cables the Liverpool market was influenced by ap- prehensions that goods orders would be cancelled in Manchester There appeared to be similar apprehensions as to do- nestle trade conditions which were probably increased by reports that in some cases mills were already receiving requests to cancel orders from domestic sources. Southern selling was considered more active than previously on the de- cline and was accompanied by talk of increased spot offerings which probably influenced the market in the late trad ing.
 The early weather reports indicating frosts in the southwest and some north ern sections of the belt. appeared to at tract very little attention owing to the failure of improving peace prospects to stimulate demand. A prominent local au- thority issued a report placing the con- dition of the crop at 59.4 and the proba- ble yield at 11,600o00 bales Another re- port published by a Chicago firm placed the indicated yield at 11.l00,0oo bales. both figures being exclusive of linters.
