in February that an agreement was

Meanwhile the food situation becomes
worse. The nation has been placed on
a ration of four pounds of potatoes
weekly, and milk is also being rationed.
The bread situation is growing worse

THE Netherlands government first
declare that the very presence Of Dutch
ships in. our ports resulted from our
detention OF them with an unfriendly
hand. While our right to refuse bunk
,ers and cargo licenses is conceded,
friendship, 1t Is said. should have led to
the granting Of special privileges in
favor of the subjects of a friendly
state. Our own supply of bunker coal
at seaboard has been inadequate for
our pressing national needs. The car
goes which were demanded were large

are all too low. Phe bunkers. II grant

grain to the Netherlands. where, as
events have demonstrated. 1t was not
then needed and where 1t would only
have served to release equivalent food
stuffs for the enemy. Such action on
our part, whatever its intention, would,

saturday Afternoon. Dec. "A.


Improved feeling prevails in the cot
ton market and there seems more like
lihood Of trading being less one-sided
than i has been, although few people
expect material change IN prices be
fore the turn OF the year. The news
from Washington that all restrictions as
to cotton had been removed n no
further effort would be made to control
its distribution was regarded as indtca-
tive of progress toward hcalthiness in
the situation. The concurrent an
nGuncement that some vessels had also
been directed to southern ports for TAX
ing cototn across was also welcome and
was considered but the beginning Of
similar ones
Another factor helping give strength to
the market was the census report on
consumption during November in the
United States. The figures were given
as 451 ,0O0 bales, which was more than
a private authority had guessed they
would, be, so traders had a small sur
prise. The amount was hcarisll COM
pared with last years 500, 600. but in
view of the difficulties under which
mills have been operating, especially
the epidemic OF flu, there was bulllsh
effect on prices,
