Turned to Peace Use.

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala, April 20
Col. James H. Burns and Lieut. Col Ny
ron S. Falk of the ordnance department,
left last night after a three weeks study
and inspection of the two large govern
ment nitrate plants
These plants were built by the ordnance
department during the war to supply am
monium nitrate In high explosive shells.
They cost about sSo,000,0O0 and only the
signing of the armistice prevented these
plants from going into production.
I 1t is the hope of the war department
that these plants may be transformed 50
that they may produce commercial peace
products. Arthur G.. Glasgow has been
appointed nitrogen administrator by the
secretary of war in order to develop such
lrse for these plants. George j Roberts
has been selected as deputy administrator
and it is rumored here that Col Burns
is to be director of operations and Lieut..
Col. .Falk the director of engineering.

It was suggested that the leaving time
of the West River train be changed
so that it would not be continually be-
hind the schedule.
Aside from the two division officials
it was felt by those who expressed an
opinion on the matter that some of the
delays and derailments were due to an
impaired physical condition of the
road, inadequate locomotion and an in
sufficient. number of sound ties. The

Rradstreets Finds
 Business Excellent

New York, July 1s.-Bradstreet, tomorrow will say:
 Business momentum is so great and demand is so heavy and so eager that reflection is hardly yet visible in e:..'ler trade or industry, of the more disturbed outlook in the labor situation or the further shading of estimates of early planted crops, nota- bly, wheat and oats. Of the latter, it may be said that winter wheat yields have again been shaded, while draught, or other troubles in the west and northwest has cut spring wheat and other crops prospects and caused very large shipments of half matured cattle from Montana and North Da- kota to better feeding grounds east ward.

Weekly Review of
 Cotton Situation
(By the Associated Press.) }

New York, July 1S.-The upward movement of prices was checked when October contracts sold at 35.72 at the beginning of the week, owing to re- ports of improving crop conditions, talk of increased spot offerings and disposition to take profits on specu lative long accounts. Later bearish or reactionary sentiment was stren- gthened by the demoralization of the foreign exchange market and the de- cline extended to 1896 for October on Thursday or 176 points below the high level.
 The absorbtion of offerings on a scale down was attributed largely to foreign and domestic trade buying, however, which improved the techni- cal position of the market, and there were sharp rallies toward the end of the week on less favorable crop re- ports and a steadier tone in sterling exchange,
 The weakness in exchange rates, of course, had been regarded as indi- eating an unfavorable financial con- tion abroad which was likely to re- strietsfresh buying for export. mills have been credited hNith %buying new crop months on de- elines against their sales of goods for forward delivery and toward the end of the week it was reported southern spot offerings were smaller. The weekly report of the weather
 bureau said the crop was improving and was considered the best so far this season.
 More optimitic views of crop pros poets were modified by the appear ance of rains in the eastern belt to- ward the end of the week, however,
 and owing to reports that some of
 the fields were still grassy and the
 boil weevil were becoming more num- erouS.
