STOCKS OF RAW COTTON
IN HANDS OF BRITISH
SPINNERS VERY SMALL

Washington, Sept. 19-Present stocks
of raw cotton in the hands of British
spinners are very small, probably no
mill having q supply for more than two
or three weeks ahead, according to a
report from the American agricultural
trade commissioner at London on the
cotton situation in the United Kingdom.
Labor conditions and the high price Of
cotton, together with the uncertainty of
exchange and foreign markets and the
difficulty of obtaining bottoms for de
liVeries of manufactured products. have
made the spinners cautious. Few or
none have large supplies at their mills,
Where spinners have bought ahead they
have been content on account of trans
portatiOn and other difficulties, to leave
their stocks in the large public and pri-
vate warehouses.
1t is inevitable that the general la
Dor unrest, apparent in all industrial
lines, should have it's effect on the cot
ton workers. An investigation indicates
that at present the relations between
the master spinner and his employees
are i'm better shape than in other in
dustries. In Manchester there is a
unanimous desire to get the industries
on q satisfactory foothing.

EXECUTION Of FRENCH
TRAITOR POSTPONED -
FIRING SQUAD ARRIVES
LENOIR, DECLARING INNOCENCE.
ASKS AGAIN TO BE CONFRONT.
ED WITH CAILLAUN

Paris, Sept. 19-Announcement was
made at S:4j a. IN. this morning Of the
postponement Of the execution of Pierre
Lenoir, who was tried with Senator
Humbert and others on a charge of
communicating military intelligence to
the enemy, and who was to have faced
the firing squad at dawn today.
The neighborhood of Vincennes woods,
where the execution was to have taken
place, was put under strong guard of
soldiers at $3.50 o'clock. A short time
afterward, firing squad took up po.
sition. The military justice, a party of
lawyers and chaplain went to Lenors
cell at $50 o'clock finding the con
demned man very calm. Asked if he
had any communication to make to the
party, Lenoir replied:
AT the moment of death ! repeat
what I have always vainly asked-to be
confronted with Joseph Caillaux."
Goseph CaillauX, former premier Of
France, now is under arrest in L hos
pital near Paris under similar charges
to those upon which Lenoir was con
victed)
Lenoir then argued that the action of
the court had shown that his case and
that of NJ. CaillauX were connected. Le-
noir's lawyer then demanded that his
request to be confronted with NJ. Gail
lauX be communicated to the under
secretary of military justice. This was
done, and the order to postpone the
execution was received two hours later
When he heard that he was not to be
executed this morning Lenoir said
