 Cotton was not as active yesterday as on the previous day. The weather
 and crop advices were bullish, but the | facts failed to inspire much trading.
 An early advance was follow ed by re- 1 actions. No fresh feature developed during the early afternoon and prices sagged off under comparatively small offerings, with October selling at 3026c and January, 29.59c around o'clock,
 or about Fl to 22 points net lower. A private crop report placed the figures at 67.2. Nine stations reported rains ! about Houston.
 | The gravity of crop damage. in corn, especially in Iowa, gave an upward
 slant to this staple yesterday in the
 Chicago grain pit. Prices closed % %c

 and gained 14c to %c. Provisions varied from Sc decline to 7c rise.

fuel in north Italy. Oil. tar, charcoal. etc. formerly imported. are now more freely produced than before the war. At tention Is also being more sharply given to water power, on which much of Italy s future depends.
 There is talk of an agreement by which the three Scandinavian countries could distribute water power more effectively. thus enabling Denmark. which lacks wa terpower of her own, to extend her in- dustry through the resources of Sweden and especially of Norway. In May last the Norwegian government appropriated $4. .000,000 to acquire the power plant at Glomfjord. which 1t will lease at pub lished rates. Swedish rural societies are taking a hand in distribution of power In country districts. A company is to de- velop the power of Iceland. Thus various countries plan business bustling with all the energy the war has left.

SERIOUS STRIKE AND
 R|OT|NG IN VIENNA AND OTHER TOWNS
Reports to Switzerland Say People Dissatisfied With Progress of Peace
 Negotiations

London, January 1S.-Serious strikes acccompanied by rioting, have taken place at Vienna and in other cities throughout Austria, according to News Agency telegrams from Zurich and oth- CT points in Switzerland.
 The troubles, it is asserted, are due to the prolongation of the peace nego- tiations at Brest- -Litovsk, the continu- ation of the reduced bread rations- one-half the former allotment-and police measures against, meetings Of the workers.
 A peace demonstration at Vienna on TIesday night ended in a riot, during which, according to an Exchange Tele- graph dispatch, food shops were footed.
 A Wireless Press dispatch from Berne says strikes broke out on Monday morning in factories in Vienna, Gratz, Brunn, Linz and Wiener -Neustadt the walkouts resulting in rioting which necessitated vigorous police action. On Tuesday the number of strikers in- creased and there were numerous con- flicts with the police.
 Since Wednesday, the dispatches state, no Austrian papers have reached Switzerland.
 The Vienna correspondent of the Mun- ich Neueste Nachrichten says that re- ports of an Austrian cabinet crisis are well founded. Dr. Won Seydler, the pre- mier, is opposed not only by the Czechs and the south Slavs, it is as serted, but also by the socialists who, like the rest, are chafing under the food difficulties. while the German deputies are hostile owing to the pre- mier's alleged weak attitude towards the Czechs and south Slavs.
