The movement toward binding con-
tracts in the textile trade Is rapidly
approaching a crisis. II Is expected
that before the end OF the year the
efforts OF sellers to establish definite
selling terms and enforceable con-
tracts will have succeeded or viii be
abandoned temporarily. In general.
the trade feels that establishing bind
ing contracts or uniform order blanks
now is bit like locking the barn
door after the horse has been stolen,
since much OF the trouble that the
trades have experienced recently has
arisen over the inability OF sellers to
force buyers to take in goods on ex-
listing contracts in a declining mar
ket.
A conference on the subject Is
scheduled to be held in New York on
December !. This movement for n
conference that includes the entire
textile trade arose in Philadelphia.
In the meantime the underwear trade
has made some progress without
waiting for the general meeting, and
yesterday the Silk Association of
America sent revised list OF rules
to all members and others in the silk
and ribbon trades for criticism be-
fore submitting the revisions to the
board of managers for adoption. Four
new rules are added to the list of
nine that were adopted in 1912. and
several of the old rules have been
revised.
IMPORTANT CHANGES.
Among the important changes is a
rule giving the seller the right to
alter or susDend credit when in his
opinion. the financial condition of the
buyer warrants It, A concession to
the buyer Is found in the following
revision of rule 4, which relieves the
seller OF responsibility in case or
non-delivery or late delivery due TO
fires, strikes or other causes beyond
his control:
IF. by reason OF any of the above
causes. the production OF the seller
shall be partially or wholly curtailed.
then the deliveries shall be either
proportionately or wholly suspended.
as the case may be, and resumed upon
the removal of the difficulty and con-
tinued until the entire quantity pur-
chased hereunder has been delivered !;
provided that IL such delay in de-
livery of any portion shall be for
more than thirty days, the aforesaid
undelivered portion may be cancelled
by the buyer. Buyer shall. when re-
quested by seller. state in writing
whether he will elect to cancel. If
the total period of delay in delivery
of any portion due to any OF the
above causes exceeds ninety days,
seller shall have the right to cancel
such hndelivered portion"

BRADsTREET'S REPORT.

Dradstreets says:
ain wholesale lines, notably the

with some, as the result OF lower
prices having to be taken for cotton
goods. owing to renewed weakness
and new low levels for raw cotton.
Cotton consumption In October was
the smallest for any month since Au-
gust, 1914. Raw wood is more ac-

Three Months of Gestures.

This is taken from a news story
published in Mondays Star:
Senator Lodge expressed regret
that the new administration is to be
delayed three months. 1t is unfor-
tunate. he said, that the change in
administration and in the Congress
should have to wait so long time
after the people have expressed them
selves at the polls. He said he would
approve a change in the law of the
land which would make the newly
elected President and Congress take
Office early in January"
The Massachusetts, senator should
move to bring the change about. He
would be well employed and well sup
ported.
The delay in such circumstances as
new exist makes for embarrassment
and temporary paralysis. Observe A
President and Congress have just
been chosen on the principles cnun-
ciated in the Chicago platform. Out
of respect to the people. legislation
should be drafted and appointments to
Office made on those lines.
And yet President Wilson will en-
joy the right of recommending legis-
lation and making appointments to
office till March 4. and is utterly op-
posed to the principles laid down in
the triumphant platform. He cannot
he expected to go counter to his own
convictions. and the present Congress,
in agreement politically with the one
that will succeed it, cannot be expect
ed to accept his recommendations or
appointments made after his repudia-
tion by the people and on the eve Of
his retirement from office.
So between now and the Inaugural
tion Of the new order we shall have
principally gestures. Not until Mr..
Harding takes hold and the new Con.
gress begins to function will the path
be clear for the advance the voters
at their latest opportunity have de-
