Shifting Tide of Sentiment.

Reconstruction of the cabinet is long
overdue and has been delayed only be-
cause ministerial changes would in
volve by-elections, which. it is said.
would almost certainly provide addi-
tional evidence that the tide of feeling
in the country is running strongly
against the government. Added to
difficulties in the field of labor is the
Irish question, which seeks impossible
for the coalition government to salts
factorily solve. On all sides the con-
sensus of opinion inclines to the view
that another appeal to the country
cannot be long delayed.

BLOW TO BRITISH
COALITION RULE
Henderson's Success Points
to Determined Effort by
Labor to Control.


LONDON, September 1.-THE re-
suit of the by-election in Widnes, Lam
caster. in which Arthur Henderson, the
labor leader, was selected to the house
of commons is considered a severe
blow to the coalition government and
has revived speculation as to the i'm
minence of another general election.
The virtually unanimous vote of the
trades union congress at Glasgow for
the naturalization of mines and to-
days vote on the subject of withdraw
ing British troops from Russia are re-
garded as evidence of very deter
mined attitude on the part of labor
against the government.
1t is pointed out that there are sus-
picions as to the governments inten-
lions concerning Russia and conscrip-
ton, and that the Glasgow congress
declined clearly to condemn the policy
of direct action, but only strategically
sidetracked the decision.

Too Sharp to Be Ignored.

II believe" he continued. that the
origin of the demand for a policy of
direct action lies in the fact that the
present parliament is felt to be who'll
ly unrepresentative of the nation and
is dominated by reactionary inf1u-
ences. This has involved the country
in proceedings which are the negation
of democracy. 1t is shown in develop
ments in Russia, Hungary, and, near
home, in Ireland, where the situation
is obviously grave. Widnes is a warn
ing the government cannot afford to

COTTON YARN PRICES FIRM
Market Appears In a Waiting Atti
tude-Textlle Trade Satisfactory

A dropping off in sales is reported by
cotton yarn dealers, according to the
weekly review of trade for the local
district by X. G. Dun & Co.
The market appears to be in wait
ing attitude, although prices are firm
in spite Of dull trading. The dullness to
some extent in the trade Is expected at
this season of the year as December
usually dull month IN this line of
trade.
While dealers report business in Il
very satisfactory state, they say that
they are operating carefully, are max
ing close collections and prefer TO con =
duct business on conservative basis
Conditions generally in the textile
trades appear to be very satisfactory,
especially in hosiery and knit goods of
various kinds.
The review, continuing, goes on to
say:
'Woolen jobbers report good de.
mand with still scarcity of me~ch"r
disc. Prices with them continue high.
Jobbcrs OF cotton goods state that they
are unable to get sufficient quantities OF
merchandise to fill orders and that
prices are abnormally high.
'iJobbers of hosiery, underwear and
knit goods report the market having ad =
vanced somewhat. there is good de-
mand, but they also state that they are
unable to get merchandise in any
quantity.
"Cloak and suit manufacturers have
found business very quiet the last
month or two. Dress manufacturers
have had fair business. Shirtwaist
manufacturers say sales have fallen OFF
but looking forward to good spring
business. Shirt manufacturers are
we'll sold UP and. owing TO labor stu =
alton, are not able to fill orders they
have on hand promptly.
"Retailers of ladies' wearing apparel

stock Transters Take Tlme

Mention was made in this column a
few DAYS ago of the difficulties eHcoun-
tered by certain broker in this city
who sold 1000 shares of an oil com
pany on the New York curb and of the
refusal of the purchaser to accent the
certificate unless it was divided into
ten 100 share certificates to conform
with the rules of the curb, even al
though the purchaser was in this par
ticnlar instance the oil company itself.
Another broker who was in New
York yesterday said he found that con-
ditions as regards transfer of stock are
very bad in the transfer Offices there.
They have not enough hands and those
employed are worked to death, he said.
One of the things complained of. he re-
marked, is the recent splitting up OF
the shares of many corporations has
added greatly to the work. Under or
dinary conditions, he said twenty four
hours should be a sufficient length of
time to complete a transfer.
Today the time consumed in making
transfers, he said, runs from two to
eight days. The printers strike did
not help matters any, he remarked, but
the tying up of a large amount of
capital in this avoidable manner is
serious matter.

Interborough's New Loan

The persistent buying Of Interborough
Rapid Transit refunding 5s and Inter
borough Metropolitan collateral trust
Az per cent bonds on the New York
Stock Exchange on Wednesday. when
the refunding 6s advanced almost 6
points and the collateral trusts closed
with gain of 21a points, was one Of
the principal topics discussed In bond
houses Yesterday.
Various reasons were advanced. One
was that the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit had arranged for loan of SIS 900, 4.
900. which. added to other income,
would. it was said. take care of fixed
charges up to January 1. This was de-
MED. however.
An investment banker whose concern
is interested in both nronerties said shot
the chairman of the committee renre-
senting the collateral trust bondholders
held a meeting in New York yesterday
and the rumor of this loan started
during the meeting but he understood
that New York bankers are not inclined
to extend any such assistance till the
outlook for the property is much better
than it looks at present.
He added that he believed the city
authorities and the. traction managers
would be compelled by nnb'ic ooinion to
get together on the subject and find a
way to relieve the situation.
Another banker said he believed a
large number of the holders of the Sc :
curities let go of their holdings at enor-
nous sacrifices recently. and when they
heard of the possib'e loan ohanvpd their
minds AID bought them back a0ain. On
the recent slump, he said the INTERIOR :
ough 7 per cent notes went down to
58Ih on "Wednesday they went to 60.
