In 1884. and the government has &C.
Quired all the land within it except

Decline i'm Cotton
Puts Prices Below
The l5-Cent Level
Relative Firrnness of Late
Months ON Belief That
Break Would Go Too Far
One Of Markers Features

One of the most significant features
in the cotton market yesterday was the
relative tirmness Of the late months
There appeared to be sufficient trade
and investment buying to hold July at
the 15c level, while winter and spring
deliveries were depressed by continued
liquidation, Liverpool and Southern
selling
All these positions made new low
records for the season, selling we'll be-
low the 15c level, with January touch
ing 1856, but the relative steadness of
July was a sustaining influence, and
there were rallies in the late trading
on covering. January closed at 14S5.
or 80 points UP from the lowest, with
the general market closing steady, net
unchanged to 35 points lower.
No fresh news feature was con-
nected with the continued weakness Of
winter and spring months. The con-
tinued Liverpool selling here evidently
made an unfavorable impre ession on
sentiment, Notwithstanding the i'm
proved tone reported in the London
stock market at the close on Friday.
The Southern selling also was taken
to mean further spot liquidation.
Wall Street interests were among
the best buyers Of July and October
probably on a belief that there will
be a sharp reduction in acreage next
spring should prices remain around or
below the 15c level.
The local market for spot cotton
was quiet and 35 points lower at Is SO
for middling. No sales were reported

Cheaper Clothing Erea
Is Predicted i'm France
IaiIors Will Be Forced to Get
Kid of Their Old Stock
at n Loss

LONDON, Nov. 14.-The Paris CORE
spondent Of The Daily Telegraph
prophecies an era of cheaper clothing.
Tailors will have to get rid of their Old
stock at d loss and buy new cloth from
the north, where there is much unam-
ployment
Two million yards Of cloth will be
put on the market at prices varying
from 16 francs to 80 francs a vard
The cloth was bought to make suits for
soldiers on their rehabilitation. but
the majority Of the demobilized men
preferred to receive the clothing al
lowance. This huge stock of cloth has
to be disposed Of, and specimen suits
made from it will be on exhibition in
Paris, Lille, Rouen, Lemans, Trovcs.
Nancy, Orleans, Tours, Lyons. Tou
louise, Montpelier, Marseiles, and
other towns.
A few days ago a promise of
cheaper suits was held cut in Paris,
and the disposal of 1000 600 yards of
cloth will be bad news for the tailors.
have to part with their old and costly
stocks. Then it is feasible to con-
lecture that the stocks in the textile
districts in the north Will be drawn
upon and full time work resumed in
the mills.
Just as there is prospect Of cheaper
suits, so boots are likely to come down
in price. The CORE spondent told that
there was scarcity of leather because
skins were exported to America. The
government believes this, and eight
months ago issued a decree prohibiting
exports. Now one of the principal m On
in the leather trade makes the state
ment that there is twice as much leath-
er in France as is consumed, and that
there are large quantities of skin in
the provinces unsold, butchers not be-
ing able to get rid of them at any
price.
The shoemakers, believing that the
price Of footgear would remain nigh
laid in large stocks of leather at a big
price. and are loath to reduce prices
The remedy suggested is that the manu-
facture of national shoes at lower
prices should be developed. AS in the
case Of the clothing trades, it is argued
that the effect of this policy would be
to reduce the number Of unemployed in
the shoe trade.

Wheat Tone Firm
On Export Buying;
Still Much Selling
Advance Is Small Compared
With Weeks Sharp Break;
European Purchases Be-
lieved Heavy; Cash Steady

Heavy export buying Of wheat
caused a frmer tone in the market
yesterday, and at one time values were
up 4 TO cents from the previous close.
Shorts were fairly active buyers, and
there was also good buying against
the export operations. There appeared
to be continued disposition to sell
on the bulges, however, and final quo
tatons We're only 2Ac to 2Ac net
higher despite the fact that the mar
ket had experienced declines for the
week Of l8 to % cents.
The Continent was credited with buy
lng about million bushels, and the
British commission was said to be IN the
market under cover. and sales to this
important buyer were placed at 7OO,-
600 bushels. This brought the export
II GOO 900 bushels, and the fact that
prices should experience so great q
decline in the face of the big foreign
demand was a source Of perpleXity to
the trade, despite the fact that for
weeks past the market has not re-
sponded readily to export operations.
The action Of the stock market and
The decline in cotton were again fac
tors which contributed to the lack Of
confidence, and it was evident that the
market was still being dominated by
economic and financial conditions
rather than BY the statistical situation
IN wheat or by the supply and de-
mand.
Cash markets were frmer, and offers
Of American wheat in the Southwest
were distinctly smaller.
In the local cash market No. 2 red
and No. hard were quoted at $1.S0$4

India Takes Important Step

India has changed the value Of the
rupee from Rs. Is to the 81 to a rate of
Rs. 10 to the 81. This step was con-
sidered earlier in the year, being the
result OF the recommendations of the
India Exchange and Currency Com
mission appointed to study the reor-
ganzation of India's currency. The
great rise in silver last winter forced
the face value Of the rupee above its
bullion value and made the coinage
Of rupees highly Improbable TO the
government At the tine the commits
sions report was made silver COM
manded high price, over $3.50 an
ounce, and the step to reorganize the
currency was taken not only to bring
back the token character Of the coin
but to prevent as far as possible 8
recurrence OF conditions under which
the intrinsic value Of the rupee ex-
ceeded its face value. Two courses
were open-to reduce the dneness Of
the coin or to reduce the rupee rate;
that Is, the number Of rupees which
could be exchanged for given weight
Of gold-the sovereign. The commis-
sion recommended the latter course,
and the reorganization was put into
effect, after proper notice had been
given, On October l. In so doing India
took q remarkable step in monetary
finance ard one which has provoked
hoth favorable and unfavorable com
men.
Besides the Asiatic consumption Of
silver there mas been introduced an
Other consuming quarter. Mexico is re-
ported to be continuing TO purchase sill
