ONE KILLED AT WRECK
New Haven Road Freight Train De-
 railed at Stevenson-Worlxer Loses Balance and Falls Of Trcstle.

Stevenson, Conn.,. Oct. 1.-The wrecking of a New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad freight train a short distance from this station dur ing the storm last night cost one life and caused much delay. The man killed was Andrew Mangani of Shel- ton, a section employe, who had been summoned to aid in clearing up the wreck. It is supposed that gust of wind caused him to lose his balance as he was crossing trestle near the wreck. His lifeless body was found in the roadway 20 feet beneath the trestle.
 The derailing of 14 cars and the tearing up of 500 ties blocked the line between Botsford and Shelton throughout the night and caused much delay to freight traffic. The cars were little damaged. Wrecking g crews from New Haven and Water bury succeeded in clearing one track early today and the other about noon. A broken car wheel caused the wreck.

American crop for the sixth year in succession. The question is. what eff feet these conditions are likely to have on the price not only of American but also of long staple cotton. The supply side of the equation IS now fairly well known, and the problem is almost entirely one of demand.
 Three Conditions Present
 "The conditions which rule the ef fective demand for cotton today throughout the world are threef fold The first factor in the situation IS the worlds potential demand for cotton goods of all kinds The second is the capacity of the worlds mills to spin and weave cotton, while the third is the financial problem of the capacity of the world. especially of Europe, to pay for the raw cotton and cotton goods which it requires.
 "The first of these three factors is comparatively simple. The world $ potential demand for cotton goods to- day is at least as great as it was before the war, which means that it is sub stantially larger than the present ac- tual output. Cotton is still the cheap est textile available for clothing pur- poses and many others, and the world S demand for clothing depends on the standard of living which the great bulk of it's population, especially in tropical and semi tropical countries, can afford to maintain. That standard has cer- tainly not been lowered as the result of the war The industrial classes of Europe and America have attained a level of wages during the war so much in excess of pre-war standards that they are able to buy a great deal more of the essentials of life, such as cloth ing. than ever before; and the same condition holds among the huge popu- Iations of oriental and other agricul- | have been commanding unprecedented prices At the same time the blockade of central Europe has exhausted their stocks of cotton goods of all kinds while tho agricultural countries of the l East and West have been unable
