Algeria has an almost unlimited
supply of Esparto grass. which has
been found to be of value in the manu-
facture of paper. This material has
been heretofore exported principally
to England, but to limited extent,
and recently a company has been or
gained in Algeria to make fuller use
of this product. In this country there
are more than 12.350,000 acres of
"alfa,' as it is called, which could
give an approximate production of
100000 metric tons. The lack of tom
mage since the war started has serious
ly curtailed the expectation of the
grass. most of which went to England.
where 1t was used for making paper
1t is pointed out that American vessels
which bring bulky cargoes to the Med
iterranean and return comparatively
empty might find this grass an excel
lent back-haul cargo, and the matter
is recommended to American maritime
and paper manufacturing interests for
their consideration.

INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
AT GALLUP ABATING:
RAINS CHECK DISEASE
ESPECIAL eosstsronDsrea % WORRYING JOURNAL,


Gallup, N. M, Oct. 26.-The influ-
enza situation in Gallup is improving
somewhat, and medical authorities be-
! lieve that the epidemic is finally
checked. There are fewer cases devel-
oping and less deaths than there were
few days ago. The rainy weather
has probably helped in checking the
disease.
The doctors and nurses have been
very faithful in giving their untiring
efforts in fighting the influenza, and
much credit is due them for their help
full work. Many volunteer nurses are
still serving at the temporary hos
pital.
To date there have been about 14O
deaths in Gallup. There were over
1000 cases when the epidemic was at
its full ebb. The town is still under
quarantine, but it is thought that it
will be lifted after this week. It will
be relief to the people of Gallup to
see the situation clear up.
According to word received here re-
Gently the influenza has spraed among
the Navajos on the reservation and
many of them are dying. At Crown
point there have been several deaths,
and a1arge number of cases reported.
So far medical aid has not been avail
able to handle the situation as the In
dams are widely scattered. Every eff
fort is being made to secure help in
checking the spread of the disease.
Hans Neuman, manager of the CAL
lup Mercantile company, has success
fully passed through a siege of the in
fluenza and is now able to be at his
desk again.
Mrs d. Roberts was an unfortunate
victim of the influenza and died last
Tuesday night at the hospital. She is
survived by husband and several
children.
Work is still progressing on the ex-
terror of the Mckinley county bank
and the remodeling will soon be COM
peted.
Mrs. Giles Master is reported to be
very sick with the influenza.
Charles Davis, county assessor, is
we'll and up again. He had a bad at
tack of the influenza. His family have
all been down, but he reports that
they are all improving rapidly now.

imports of cotton during December and January. While this rumor could not be confirmed, 1t is reasonable to eX pect that some such action will come in the near future. On top of it was the increased agitation in this country for the removal of restrictions against cotton exports, the movement having now reached the point where it is the hands of southern Congressmen. Today the New Orleans cotton exchange for
 warded a request to Washington that
 pre-war methods os issuing foreign bills of lading being employed, now that the war is over, on the ground that the methods found necessary dur ing the war do not provide liquid enough bill of lading.
 The opening was higher and the ad- vance persisted until 1t amounted to I76 to 97 points, December being the strongest month. In the afternoon there were recessions of 20 to 30 points from the top under realizing. The strength iof December, in view of the fact thai next Monday is first notice day for | that month. leads to the conclusion i that the longs are much more comfort able than the shorts in that position and there is even talk that longs may take up cotton
 1 With everything pointing to a return
 of more normal conditions in the spot
 and export departments we believe the
 market is in a position to do better. 1 Toward the end buying increased or
 expectations of bullish ginning re-
 port the first thing in the morning anc
 the market went to an advance of 7s
 to 125 points, closing 72 to 104 up. 1 SHEPARD & CHUCK.

MORE TONNAGE IN SIGHT SENDS THE
 FLEECY STAPLE UP
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 70 to S9 Points Over
 Tuesday

New York, November 2o.-Reports that the British allotment of ocean tonnage for December shipment had been in
 creased from 10000 to about 25o,0oo bales
 was considered an important factor on the advance in cotton prices here today.
 The general list closed steady at net
 advance of 70 to S9 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance
 of 27 to 50 points, with buyers encour-
 aged by higher Liverpool cables. the in-
 creasingly optimistic view of export pros-
 poets, and the absence of any important pressure of hedge selling from the south, There was enough realizing to cause some irregularity right after the call. but the market showed firm undertone on cov- ering.
 After showing net gains of 75 to SC points there were reactions of some 4a or 50 points from the best under profit taking, but the market firmed up again, reaching the best prices of the day just before the close on continued covering and trade buying. According to some of the local spot brokers the talk of increased exports is creating little more interest among do- mestic spinners, but say this has not yet resulted in much actual business, and trading today was generally quiet with the market sensitive to comparatively small orders. Expectations of small gin- nings figures from the census bureau to- morrow also contributed to the advance which carried the active months about S1 to 95 points above yesterdays closing figures, and in the case of December contracts a cent pound above yeSter-
 days low level.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-21

New Orleans, November 20--The trend in cotton today was strongly higher, mainly owing to rumors that English spinners were to be allowed to resume full time and that English imports of cotton would be materially increased during the next two months. Aiding the market at the advance was the continued agitation in this country for removal of export restrictions. High- est levels were reached late in the session on a burst or buying caused by expectations of bullish ginning re- turns from the census bureau the first thing tomorrow morning. Here prices were 7S to 125 points up; the close was |72 to 104 up
 December was the strongest month on the boards and this, in the face oi the fact that next Monday is first notice day for that month, led to claims that spinnefs of spot houses were buy ing that position with the intention de- |manding cotton on contracts.
 The opening was at the advance which continued until it amounted to 76 to 97 points before any selling of consequence was met.
 Realizing by longs set in at thss level and reactions of 20 to 30 points e.- lowed The market was quiet in the early afternoon but strengthened sud- denly later.

MUCH CONF JS|ON IN CROP MOVEMENT STOCK TRADING ASPLAYED INTO HANDS FEATURE YESTERDAY0F THE BEAR CROWD
Corn Prices Closed 1-2c Net Lower, While Hedg- ing Sales Depressed
 Oats

Chicago, November 20.-Prospects of an increase in the movement of the new crop had a bearish effect today on corn. The market, although unsettled at the close. was l to 21a points net lower, with December s1 .2sls to $1.29A and January, sf.31ss to $1.311a. Oats finished slQl1sc down and provisions up 5c to Sl.
 Notwithstanding that the corn market fluctuated rapidly, the general tendency of most of the session was clearly down grade.
 Forecasts of better weather and for transportation from rural sources did a good deal to make selling aggressive and |eo, too, did knowledge that a large num- Der of car permits had been issued re- gently.
 Fresh developments appeared to be necessary to focus attention sharply again on the bullish possibilities of food needs in Europe as against plentiful supplies elsewhere and still existing shortage of vessels
 Hedging sales depressed oats. Provi- sions were dull but firm. Notice of an embargo on hog shipments to Chicago Thursday and Friday operated as q strengthening factor.

Pools Dominated Various Specialties, List Harden ing Toward End of
 the Session

New York. November 2O.-The uncer- tain trend of prices during the greater part of today's stock market session or fered cumulative evidence of the confu- sion existing in speculative and invest nent circles.
 Trading showed moderate expansion of operations over the previous oas' but movements of 10 leaders were eA- ceedingly contrary, even in issues or the same class. Pools dominated various specialties, the list hardening apprecla- bly, at the end.
 A foretaste of the postwar period was furnished by the break of to IA points in the several issues Of the MaxWeli Motor company, following announcement that the dividend on the first preferred stock is to be suspended because or rs- adjustment conditions.
 Irregularty at the beginning was oc- casioned by the heaviness of Marine preferred, which broke over five points as a result of the order from Washing ton holding up the plan for the sale or the company's British tonnage.
 Marine made up much of it's loss later and Mexican Petroleum, which fell about points at the outset, scored an extreme advance of four points, most Of which was retained.
 United States Steel and affiliated stocks gave better account of themselves than at any recent time, but coppers were under pressure, ignoring reports Of the formation of a cornbina ton for the ex- port of metals on a huge scale.
 Rails played little part in the days business, that division sevincing no trend until the final dealings when pacifics hardened. Tobaccos were among the strong specialties, but utilities eased one to two points,
 Domestic bonds were irregular on the break of l to ? per cent in rails and Marine 6s. Liberty issues were steady with the international group. Total sales par value aggregated $10,6750O0. Old U. $. bonds were unchanged on call.
 Final prices on Liberty Bonds today were 31as, 99.96 first convertible As, 9b7O; second As, 96SO; first convertible 4hs. 9S5o; second convertible Ms. 97.Se; third 44s, 9IS0; fourth 44s, $500

tion is likely to provide reserve sup ply.
 Had the large cotton acreage this year produced a full crop, consumers could rely on the average seasonal sup ply, but the drastic failure in produc- tion this year, considering efforts and acreage, cannot fail to affect the for ward policy of consumers. This ap- plies also to the opinion as to the value | of cotton.
 1 Reports from Texas early this morn ing said highest basis for the season was paid. This reflects an urgent de- mand and shows futures too low. Spots here are firm with holders fully l aware of the improving prospects for an early demand and outlet. The contract market opened 30 to 90 higher and after some slight reaction settled at an all-round gain of 50 to | 70 points. There is no rush to over anticipate the more promising outlook for exportation, as the defect of mar rowness ill trading in case of realizing or other selling has been repeatedly demonstrated lately, but there is a more secure feeling on the price level in view of efforts and pressure on all sides toward more rapid distribution of supply. JOHN r. CLARK X CO Sugar Market
 New York, November Zo.-There was no change in raw sugar prices which are quoted at s7.2Sc for centrifugal to the refiner. The weather continues favor able for the new crop and it is expected that grinding in at least one factory will begin before the end of the week Last year there was one central grind ing at this time. The committee re- ported no fresh business.
 The market for refined is steady and unchanged on the basis of cents for fine granulated.
 The food administration continues to modify regulations in regard to the use and distribution of sugar and owing to more advantageous freight rates North Atlantic refiners are now permitted to supply Miami, Key West and Tampa. Fla. Powdered sugar may now be sold from refiners to wholesalers. As yet, however. the demand has not increased very materially.
