COTTON MARKET

New York, July 13.-Active buying
of July cotton at the opening this morn

upturn of 30 points in that contract,
while later months were Z points lower

the chief early sellers Of July, and
southern concerns and New Orleans sold
the later options.
Private advices reported light rains
in the central and parts of the western

Later the market was somewhat un-

PAPER CLOTHING
NOW SUCCESS
Germans Now Have Produced
Durable and Washable
Fabrics
DON'T MELT IN THE RAIN

Paper clothing that would withstand
the rain and not rasp and crackle as
the wearer strobe along was one of the
novel inventions to which severe war
shortages forced the Germans. DIR.
Oskar Spohr, who followed the growth
OF this industry, in recent review Of
the steps by which the paper fiber was
developed into wearable and washable
material, assures his German readers
that their paper clothing today is not
half bad.
Doctor Spohr tells an interesting
story or efforts to clothe a nation when
all sources of supply of materials for
merry used were effectively sealed. Tho

magnitude, for before the war Germany
was dependent upon the outside world

the war 1t was proposed that rabbits
should be raised in UNPRECEDENTED nun
bers to supply the failing national table
with meat and the looms threatened with
starvation with n new wool fiber. II
was soon shown, however, that rabbit
wool could not stop the gap.
1t was soon decided, Doctor Spohr re =

produced IN sufficient quantity to cone

state engineer recently declared that
millions of dollars in his state are in

The coming into general use Of the

loads weighing 10 to Is tons took the
