care for them. One soldier back
from the front in Fance said that
the sight of a Red Cross nurse was
a cure for sore eyes so seldom
could they get to each patience. His
doctor gave him a paper to give to
the nurse when he got to the hosp
ital but that he was there a week
before he even saw a nurse.
Young men who have not enlist
ed are told that they have yellow
streak and in some cases it is true
but, well, maybe it can be laid to
the fact that the urgent call for
nurses has been delayed; but when
our boys lie wounded and suffer

war nurses, like our guns and our
uniforms, are weighed in til"

Cotton

There was decidedly steadier tone
in the cotton market yesterday. Otter
ines showed a sharp decrease, while
reports of continued firmness IN South
ern spot markets and furthe" lndica-
tions Of improving export conditions
attracted some scattered buying from
commission house sources. January
contracts sold I'D TO $50, making an
advance Of 95 points from the close
CT Monday and Of III points from tine
low level Of Monday afternoon. That
general list closing steady a. net
advance of 66 to 100 points.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of 9 70 36 points, which was not
a full response to the cables, as there
were a number Of overnight selling
orders around the ring and the market
still showed traces Of the extreme ner-
vousness which had characterized the
late trading of Monday. Offerings
were much smaller, however, and were
readily absorbed at comparatively
slight reactlons after which the market
sold a0out 40 to SO points net higher.
There was realizing by early buyers.
which caused another setback OF some
/
day. but otherwise offerings were very
light and prices tirmed up again, reach
ing the best levels OF the day in the
late trading.
Two private crop reports were is
sued during the day. The first came
from 3 prominent Alabama spot firm
and placed the yield at II $50 900 bales,
excluding linters, and the second, is
sued late in the afternoon by q South
ern statistical bureau, made the yield
| 100000 bales and the amount ginned
prior to December 1st 9,60O,O00 bales
The latter report probably contributed
to the late advance. when considera bic
buying seemed to be reaching here
from Memphis and other Southern
points. There was no change in re
ports from the drygoods trade, but with
hedge selling less in evidence the
trade seemed to be giving more atten-
tion to the reports of firmness among
Southern holders. Charleston advicpt
claimed that British freight rates or
cotton from North Atlantic ports tt
Liverpool had been reduced TO $3.50
Local shippers said they had not beer
informed of the reported cut in rates
but had heard that more space was
being offered

Fix Pig Tin Price
Consumers i'm New York to
Gel Metal at u IL Cents

Announcement was made yesterday
that the War Industries Board has
authorized the United States Steel
Products Company to sell pig tin to
consumers, dealers and jobbcrs in lots
of not less than twenty-five gross tons
at Tie per pound, Pacific Coast ports,
and 72hc at New York and Chicago.
These prices arc to rule on all sales
during December and January. 1t is
stipulated that dealers can resell IN
lots of five gross tons and over to con
sumcrs or iobbcrs holding purchase
licenses at gross profit OF not to eN-
coed ~ per cent, and jobbcrs can re-
sell TO consumers in lots of less than
five tons at a gross profit not to eX-
cccd per cent.
The tin is being allocatcd by the In
ter-Allicd Tin Executive for consump-
ton in the United States and is being
distributed by the United States Steel
Products Company, which has been
designated for this purpose by the Wa1
Industries Board. Financing of the tin
allocated to this country is being done
by the Steel Products Company, which
has already advanced more than $15.-

Wilson Notes Are Sold
Books Closed Twenty Minutes
After Opcning

One of the most successful nc"
security offerings of recent months
vas consummatcd yesterday when
syndicate headed by the Guaranty
Trust Company offered and sold within
twenty minutes $2O,000,000 ten-year
convertible sinking fund 6 per cent
bonds of Wilson g. Co., Inc. Despite
the fact that the subscription books
were opened on the same day that the
Federal Trade Commission issued an
other attack on the business methods
Of the company and other meat pack
ing concerns, it was stated that the
issue was oversubscrbed nearly three
times.
A unique feature of the Offering
was that it was made concurrently to
the stockholders and the public, but
the subscriptions of the stockho lders
were given priority over the others.
Soon after the subscription books were
closed the bonds were traded IN on
the curb market, and at one time the
quotation was 2 per cent above the
Offering price of 95. The closing quo
tations were 95a4 bid, SO asked.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-04

Yesterday there was an uncon-
flrmed report that the money COM
mittee had under contemplation the
restoration of the conditions that
prevailed prior TO November in
the matter of margin requirements
on the loans Of Stock Exchange
houses. This would reduce the
amounts that brokerage houses
would have to put up as margin
against their loans from 80 per
cent to 20 per cent. 1t is said that
the ruling Of the bankers in this con-
nection has not been lived up to in
all cases, 80 it is question as to how
much the general Stock Exchange
loan situation would be helped by
q restoration Of the old basis. Look
ing at the money situation from
the stock market point of view. it is
quite certain that any important
relaxation in the present restric-
tions would result in increased
speculative activity. The effect or
prices is prololematical. AS mat
ters now stand, the restriction,
5end TO discourage operations fo1
the advance, while on the othe1
hand they have probably stimulated
operations for the decline, ant
certainly have not discouraged
short selling.
