WEEKLY COTTON

New York, July 11-Cotton good. prices have been softening steadily. A small amount of business has been don. at the lower prices. The large buyers ar. still holding off awaiting a further set. clement Of values. During the coming week many of the largest dress goods buyers will be in the markets, and it Is thought possible that better line can be drawn on the future course of trade as spring 192 1dress goods lines in cotton goods houses are now being opened for inspection.
 At the present time the leading selling agents for branded cotton domestics are disinclined to revise their prices as buy er5 are not ready to operate at any price. While the tendency of the market is downward, it is felt by some traders that the decline is being overdone in view of the sustained cost of cotton and the substantially higher wage scales than those of year ago.
 In the wash fabric lines shown for the coming spring season. voiles occupy a prominent place. with organdies and lawns following, in the sheer Inc goods. Offerings of many new lines of silks and ccttons are made at more attractive ris. ures than any of the recent seasons This has been brought about through the dc- cline of silk yarn and the sharp decline in some fine combed yarns.
 Print cloths have sold low as r71%c for 3Sh-inch 64x60s, late contract delivery from second hands, and 1Sc from niiis. Spots hold at 19c.
 Current quotations are: Print cloths, 8-inch 64x64s, 15Ac; 64x60s, 15c; 3Saa-inch 64x64s, 20c; brown sheetings, southern standards, 27c; denims, 2.20. southern m digo, 44c; ticking, 8-ounce, 55c; prints, 23c: staple ginghams, 271ac; dress ginghams. s MS71sc.

Belgian government loans sold above their subscription prices.
 In addition to credit contraction, the market was put to a greater test by renewed signs of industrial uncer- tainty. Curtailment of production in textiles and feathers made further progress and trade authorities made pointed allusion to probable let down in the automobile and rubber indus tries.
 Out-of-eown banks made further in- roads upon their local reserves, pre- liminary to the crop moving period, but were a little more liberal in pur- chases of commercial paper. Cautious reports from principal centers of mer- chandise distribution were offset in part by glowing crop prospects.
 The transportation outlook promises to become more distinct factor as the time approaches for adjustment of wages and freight rates. With the opening of the presidential campaign the labor situation is expected to as- sume new aspects.
 Germany's submission to the terms of the allies at the Spa conference created scarcely a ripple on the surface of the foreign exchange market East Indias re-entrance in the lower gold market is regarded as interesting be- cause of the tremendous trade balance of the United States in the far east.

Chilean Volcanoes

From Five Days Among the Volcanoes"
 by Alice Day McLaren, in the Scrib-
 ner.
 Sunrise got us up again, and we were soon pulling off sweaters and knitted ps. By 9 o'clock we were on the march, La Blanca, especially recommended as being "muy rica,' very rich, great ex- presson in Chile for any and every thing. Food, weather. motors, babies. even shots at tennis or hands at bridge may be rich" La Blanca was, in truth, rich in tricks and sloth, and as she started off with her little mincing steps I felt a bit foolish. Our tall hydraulic engineer, his feet almost touching the ground, looked ridiculous. too, and the Judge, who is rather dude in dress and was clothed in a perfect-ftting though slightly el derly riding-suit. his blue eyes twinkling and his lips freshly reddened, might have been on a trick animal in a circus. w.. on a big rather evil-looking, Roman Eosed mule with soft black hair, was the only one who seemed suited to his mule. That is doubtful compliment. W. has neither a Roman nose nor soft black hair nor is he evil-looking, but I mean his mule was more appropriate-that is, w, not being excessively tall and the mule being big. the pair was less incongrous than the rest of us.
 mat ddy Was one oi WonuefS, TOT we began to climb around. Toconce into a rift between two volcanic ranges. I wish I had the power of poetic descrip- ton. for if ever scene deserved it that one did. There was every variety of vol canic eruption; sometimes a great river of hardened gray lava flowing away like huge rapids; again a point. miles long, Of softly rounded brown hills which had bubbled out of one of the big peaks ages ago; here there would be great clefts and breaks in the solid stone; there huge series of steps: once we passed an enor- nous round hill built tier upon tier ex- actly like giant wedding-cake. In the cracks between the tiers the earth had gathered and the scrub desert bushes had taken root. so that the cake looked as if t had wreaths of smilax around it. CNow, that wedding-cake idea is quite poetic, is it not?)

metropolis of Manhattan, and the hills of New Jersey and Staten Island beyond the busy harbor! What a broad and noble outlook, what rural self-compla- cent charm was thine, o city of churches, 'all unravaged by the fierce intellectual life of the century" wrapped in New England traditions and based on a solid Dutch financial foundaton!
 Beecher and Storrs were thine, Jachfn and Boaz, pillars of the oratorical Temple. and Lord, how they hated each other! Walt Whitman also was thine, the insur- gent rhapsodical poet-but thou knewest him not because he was 1annel-shirted. Placid and prim were thy streets, and thy spirit was self-contented, sure that the ultimate truth and the final social form were embodied in Brooklyn.
 (Reader. I am afraid that these para graphs if you follow the punctuation, may seem like un-capitalized vers fibre. Let us get back to honest prose.)
 May the first in the days which I re- call, was the time appointed for the transmigration of households.
 It not a movable feat. it was a fixed feast of movables.
 The little houses poured forth their ae- cumulated treasures and rubbish to be conveyed to other little houses. ''Apart- ments' were unkown, but tenements had begun to exist. Neither the origin nor the destination made any difference. The point was that you had to move if your lease was up; and your goods and chat tels had to move with you.
 Great was the disclosure, on that day, of the stuff that had been accumula ed. The discreet, gigantic moving-van had not vet been invented.

WEEKLY METAL
By Associated Press

New York, July 17.-Whether the steel industry will be able to maintain an equal rate of production and shipments this month with the record for June is the question being discussed in operating circles. The crude steel output last nicnth was 97,526 tons higher than ip May, the production of 29S0.690 tons. indicating T to 80 per cent operations. The market is becoming firmer for some products. al- though the undertone is easier in others. Foreign trade continues in fair propor- ton, but exporters complain of high for e;gn tariffs as threat to American prod ucts.
 The upward movement in pig iron prices has not abated. On large business done the past few days, Bessemer ad- vanced q ton to the basic iron level Of s46 valley basis and several thousand tons of the former sold at Pittsburg at the high peak of SAT 40, while 10000 more of basic were closed at the s46 valley price. No. foundry at Philadelphia was advanced to s4S S.15 minimum, with most sales at $49. .94. The stiff coke marke' around SIS to s20 ton, and the car short age are the factors responsible for the hardening of the market

P|G IRON MARKET STRONG AND LIVE
 WITH b|G ORDERS
So Much American Busi- ness, Particularly South ern-EurOpean Bids
 Take Chances

There has been a very distinct show ing of the strength of the pig iron mar ket," says ore of the large iron pro- ducers. "Our concern has sold more pig iron thus far in July than we placed on our order books in all of June
 There was brief lull in the buying movement, but it gave way on the turn of the half year to quite an active de- mand for requirements for the remainder of the year.
 Much more pig iron would be booked if the Birmingham furnace interests cared to do so, or were in position to take on the business offered. This is especial 1y true of the inquiry from abroad. All the makers receive almost daily proffer of tonnage desired by European countries. but they are so well booked on domes- tic iron that they are afraid to attempt to handle much export business in addi- tion.
 Several lots of pig iron have gone to Italy and few are to move to that country during the present quarter. Small amounts will also go to Holland and Scotland, but there have been very few recent bookings and the export iron on order books is inconsequential.
 Among recent bookings have been 1000 Acns for southern consumption, last quar- terly delivery; 1000 tons for Cincinnati. third quarter delivery; 1,2O0 tons to east ern Illinois, 600 tons to an Indiana melt el and number of lots ranging from 5od to 1000 tons for New England delivery.
 The cast iron pipe market has slowed down from it's high peak af activity. but plants have sufficient orders to keep them busy for some time to come. Gas tonia, N. C., is about to place an order for 1000 tons of water pipe and a local concern is in the market for consid- ersble tonnage of gas mains.
 The sanitary pipe works have noted the slowing down of the high-speed market. but they have orders sufficient to carry them through the summer in an active way The problem Is what will be the status of building operations in the early fall

 Coke is costing northern furnaces as high as s19 per ton, while the highest price heard of in the Birmingham dH- trict for furnace coke is Sl0 to s1 per ton. Recent advices from northern iron centers are to the effect that coal IS costing furnaces s10 per ton at the mines. In other words, coal is costing in the east as much as coke costs in the BIT mingham district.
 Birmingham iron and steel industries alike have pulled through all the resen! handicaps and are operating on full turn
 Two middle western furnace interests report that the cost of making pig iron h,, +hep, ba a reached s34 and S35 per ton.

He panions. Some time after the war the family took up its residence at Tusca- loosa. and has there since remained Cor gas was only lad of when the civil war began and ten years after It's con- clusion was graduated from the Univer- city of the South with an A.

By successive steps the young officer rose in the service. He became a major and brigade surgeon of volunteer forces in 1896 and received the rank of major in the United States army In the same year. when he was also placed in charge of sanitay work in Havana, continuing the work for four years. Methods of sani- tation which he applied eliminated yellow fever in Havana and started Gorgas on the road to fame. For this work Con- gross by a special art promoted him to the rank of a colonel and made him as- sistant surgeon general in March of 1895 His accomplishment of cleaning up the tropical, diSeaSe-infested sWamps through which the Panama canal was cut and making their habitation by workmen pos- sible, is well known, and requires naught but mention here. Gorgas became sur- geon general with the rank of brigadier general in 1914 and rose to the rank of major general in 1915 retiring shortly be- for his death

Japanese Schools In Korea

Elsie Mccormick, in Christian Heralds
 Perhaps Japan does considerably more "viewing with alarm than pointing with pride" in Korea, but whenever she does choose to point, she picks out the government school system. Knowing the appeal that free education has for every American, Japanese officials al ways lay considerable stress on this phase of the administration Though one or two of the larger schools in Seoul are not bad to look upon, a little study proves that the success of the educa- ticnal> system Is chiefly mythical. In the first place, the Japanese have placed most of the emphasis upon vocational tr&ining-regarded as a deadly insult the Koreans, who, it must be remem- bered, were once the leading scholars of the orient and the tutors of the Jap arese. Secondly, they do not admit any child to school under eight years of age, wkich means that two school years are wasted-a serious matter when children are obliged to complete their education " hile very young.
