THE COTTON MARKET
Fifty Cent Clifton by Christmas States
President of American Cotton
Association

President Wannamaker, Of the
American Cotton Association. tele-
graphed the associations headQuar-
tiers regarding the result of the world
cotton conference at New Orleans as
follows: -
Result of conference will be of
told benefit to the entire south. VI
get everything we came for and muc
more representation in every line. Nv
cry section of the world understand
cotton conditions infinitely better. Th{
consensus of opinion is that the south
is in an era of great prosperity. News
from New Orleans is that the con-
sensus of opinion there is that Cotton
will go to soc before Christmas.
The above is from "women's Wear"
issue Of October 22nd.
The "Dry Goods Economist" Of the
same week has this to say.
Spot cotton mt the close Of last
week was ESQ points higher than ut
the end of the preceding week. 1t Is
now generally expected that the crop
will not exceed 10, 000, 900 bales-there
is a very strong spot demand. coupled
with an increasing export demand and
what is beginning to look like an
acute scarcity Of long staple cotton
From various parts Of the world
there is coming an insistent call for
cotton, and Congress is being urged
70 arrange for the credit to European
countries of at least 1000, 900 bales
In view of the above statement that
the crop would not exceed then mil
lion bales, the following statement
by John H. Todd. speaking at the New
Orleans conference on The worlds
future requirements of cotton" is of
interest: "An eleven million-hale is
nothing as compared with what the
world requires.
One of the leading daily newspapers
in its issue Of October 2eth, stated the
following:
Cotton went cent pound for
December option. ami the ether op-
tons were almost that much above
yesterday. Cotton at 4oc pound win

cheap in short time. The only thing
that holds it down now is the inAbili-
ty to ship the commodity. The world
is in rags and the crop is short"

CHAPTER XVIII
Treatment of Religious Awaiting Trial in the
Military Prisons at Malines and
at Louvain

CEVERAL religious prosecuted for having abetted
cruiting for the Belgian army in occupied territory
had been, in consequence of the prisons being full
thrown into military cells at Manes and Louvan. Kept
in the most rigorous secuson; deprived, in spite of
Won Bssings promise, of the consolation of saying
mass, the prisoners had pass the whole day long
wretched narrow cell without windows and into which
air and light could only enter through chnks left be-
tween planks forming the ceiling.
The Cardinal, being informed OF Jns severe treat
ment asked Won Bissing to mitigate in some way this
cruel state of affairs. He interceded on behalf of
Fathers Quevt o. P, and Van Nylen, S. j.. Devroye,
S. j., Mertens, S. j.
In each the Governor General showed himself
ready to meet the Cardinals appeal. He went
far 70 answer him by wire that his wishes would be
acceded But his good intentions real apparent,
had effect The Kreschefs of Malines and Louvan,
being requested by the Governor General to give
him information about the religious in question,
sent back lying reports affirming that the prisoners
had made complaint Won Kissing, the strength
of these reports, told the Cardinal that he had been
making groundless complaints and he reproached
him with being ilnformed of what went in the
prisons. The Cardinal refused to be discounted. In
his letters of November 9Th and 18th he returned to the
charge and proved without doubt that the Kreisches
reports inaccurate.
The conditions of the prisoners continued unchanged
in spite of the Cardinals pressing and repeated
deavors On point alone did he obtain satsfac
ton After negotiations, which went for than
three weeks, arrangements made by the German
military administration for priests and religious de-
tained under suspicion to say mass in prison.

prisoners.
This is substantially what they declare: The room
which the prisoners shut up in is very narrow and
badly ventated there is neither table nor chair to
be found in it, in general there not the cleanliness
there should be; there is hardly any light; witness
who occupied the cell in the middle of summer asserts
that then he could hardly read between 10 a. and
p. M. Father Van Nylen has, during the few weeks
of his detention, used makeshift at least two
dozen candles Under these circumstances the prs-

boredom; and from or p. M till the next morning
they remain perforce reclining on Mattress If

He has never made any request to sag mass nor
