Cotton

There was an advance Of approXi
matcly $3 per bale in the cotton mar
kct yesterday, all positions making
new high ground for the season. May
contracts sold at 31.S4, an advance Of
Ga points as compared with Saturdays
close, and of 259 points from the low
level OF last month. That delivery
closed at 31.S2. with the general list
closing firm at net gains of 81 to 63
points.
The feature was continued buying
by Liverpool and domestic trade inter
ests. General business was not ac-
tive, but the advance uncovered stop
orders. and except for realizing there
appeared to be very few sellers. First
prices were 22 to 33 points higher. in
response to the firm cables and the
trade demand. There was enough
realizing to cause some irregularity
very we'll absorbed, and the highcst
prices Of the day were reached in the
late trading, when the general list
showed net gains of 50 to 66 points.
Liverpool was good buyer during the
last half hour, and the advance was
accompanied by reports that domestic
trade interests were hedging require
mcnts in both summer and early new
crop positions.

be needed in the Southwest. the ad
vance was attributed chiefly to the con-
tinued strength and activity of the
goods market. and the absence of SPOT
pressure. Some Of the buying of Oc
tober was attributed to brokers with
Japanese connections. but the feature
was the demand from Liverpool and
the domestic trade. Manchester ca
blcs reported d better demand for
cloths. and the advance in the Eng
lish market was attributed to heavy
buying by the trade and the Cont
ncnt. The Liverpool buying here was
believed to represent lifting Of hedges
or their transfer to the English mar
kct. Reports from the domestic goods
market indicated activity and strength
with advancing prices evidently en-
abling spinners TO- follow the advance
in raw materials. Few light rains
were reported in the Southwest on Sat
urday, and adviccs reaching here in
dcatc that moisture has been sutii-
cicnt to permit planting, but it is be-
licvcd that the subsoil must still be
very dry and that the Texas crop wilt
depend largely upon frequent and we'll
distributed rains from now on. There
were no exports yesterday. Southern
spot markets as officially reported were
unchanged to SO points higher.

Railroad Ties Poor Fuel
Roads Discourage Sale of
Them to Public

During the recent period, when the
shortage Of fuel was a real menace.
among the many suggestions offcral
as relief measures was one that the
railroads of the country offer the pub
lie the opportunity of purchasing used
railroad ties. The practice, it was
pointed had. had formerly been in
vogue, but had ince been discor-
tinued.
The railroads, however, declare that
the process of selling ties, is danger.
Gus. AS an economic factor, they as
serted, the ties made poor frewood and
were not worth the cost of labor
needed to secure them.

Corn.-Thc corn market shows but
little price change from day to day.
Trading IN futures is light, owing to
the fact that prices are too near the
fixed maximum to attract buying, and
too far below the price of the cash ar
tice to justify risks on the short side
The cash position on Monday was firm,
and offers are being readily taken, with
leading markets being asked to fur
nish from 100000 to 100000 bushels
daily for export. The visible supply
showed an increase Of 100000 bushels
for the week, which was considered
moderate, in view of the fact that last
weeks receipts at primary points were
the largest of the season. Receipts Tor
the day were again large, but the point
is brought out by the Illinois Grain
Dealers Association that unless corn
is moved within the next three weeks
much of it will spoil, as farmers will
be too busy at that time with other
farm work to market heavily This
association said that in Illinois there
is 60 per cent of the crop still on the
farms and in elevators back in the
country, and that in the centre of the
state one-third of the crop is badly
damaged. Argentine corn was quoted
at $225. and reports from Argentina
said that exports to America had been
prohibited.

DO ALLIES INTEND
CARRY OUT SPIRIT
OF THE II POINTS?
This Is Question Raised Among Americans Paris And Lon
reinstatement Of British That Central Powers Must Pay
Cost OF War To Limit OF Capacity Is Nowhere Found In
President Pronounceent Wilson, InDiscussing Repair
aion Avoided Use Of Word 4Indemnites

Nor can there be found, even by the
most liberal Interpretation, any justi-
fication of the recently authoritative
British statement, the central powers
must pay the cost of the war to tho
limit of their capacity. 1t is admitted
that the French contention for repay
ment Of the Prussian extortion Of
billion ,dollars with interest, is reasons
able, and may be debated under Will
son declaration that the wrong Of
1871 should be righted. But it is point.
cd out that Wilson, in discussing repair
alton, carefully avoided use Of the
word "indemnities as the alles own
memorandum Of acceptance specifically
limited compensation to damage done
the civilian population OF the allied
countries and their property by agrees
sion on land, on the sea and from the
air y
Cannot Stretch Phrase.
How such phrase could be stretch.
ed to includc--as some European states
men are now actually proposing--fhe
cost of maintenance, equipment, muni-
tions, etc, of the allied armies, rs very
difficult to comprehend,
Furthermore, Is is considered that
the question of honor is involved, mas
much as Germany accepted the propos-
ais in good faith.
1t is true that severity OF the armis-
tice renders Germany incapable of re-
newing the conflict, but this fact, ac-
1cprding to the Wilsonian viewpoint,
makes all the more binding the allics'
moral obligation to limit peace exactly
to the contract to which they were
party.

plands Wilson's S Three Year
Naval Program.

London, Dec. 10-tThe United
States should continue, in association

';Nothing coud be more gratifying
to England. No arrangement could la
mme effective to insure world peace. =
The newspaper said it believed Amer
lea is under an unfortunate misappre
heDsion regarding the British naval pol
lev as the result of statements by VIII.
ston Churchill, minister of munitions
and first lord of the admiralty, VINO is

The English in discussing freedom Of
the seas, it is pointed out, think only
of the German definition, whicn n.-slS
piracy. Therefore it is impossible to
relax the least preeaution.
President Wilson S stand in favor Of
continuation of Americas three wear
naval building program, the Morning
Post saws. "is applauded here"
"To u.s." the newspaper continues,
cit cems that The league Of NATIONS
if practical, naturally will allot the
