This litigation has arisen over tho
assertion of the gas company officials
that tho present franchise held by the

still a. doubtful term in this section,
so far as measuring business condl-

these conditions are far. better than

some of the men engaged. One manu-
facturer here reported his plant 10

pacity, but when pinned down ad-
mitted that it was running 80 per
cent of the capacity of his largest
year, 1915. When he made a real IN
yestieation he found his plant turn

Anthracite Coal Supply
Ample for Coming Winter
BY FRANK ID. McLAIN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, September H.
There is no prospect of any shortage
Of anthracite coal this winter. Much
coal has been mined and there seems
no lack of cars and locomotives to
transport it rapidly to market when
1t is needed. Domestic consumers in
this section have not put In full
winter supplies, but have contented
themselves with buying by the ton as
needed because of high prices.
While Philadelphia. as a textile
center. is deeply interested in the ad-
vance in cotton prices. there is a feel
ing among manufacturers that the
holdover from last years crop will
suffice to steady the market and hold
prices within bounds For this reason
spinners are holding off from pur-
chases of raw cotton until the froth of
speculation is blown away and manu-
facturers are making no heavy pur-
chases of yarns. Manufacturers of
mems and boys clothing are busy and
silk Is in good demand. Several up
state silk mills are preparing to re.
sumo operations after long periods OF
idleness.
There is a large movement of to-
rnatoes to the canneries from southern
New Jersey fields where the product
is good and prices satisfactory. One
cannery has been receiving an average
Of 100000 baskets daily.

NEW ORLEANS, September lin
creasing value of the agricultural prod
ucts Of this section, with attendant
large crop movements, is improving
business in nearly every line here. Small
farmers are selling on these price ad-
vances, as are many of the large cot
ton holders, and money is circulating
more freely than for a year. City and
country banks are feeling the effects OF
this through payment of old loans and
increasing deposits, and the country re-
taller Is beneflting through payment OF
old accounts and increased buying
power of his customers. The sales OF
wholesalers who were caught with light
stocks. were three times greater In the
last month than in any other similar
period this year. The wholesalers are
now in the market for larger stocks.
Lumber prices showed improvement
during the week, with some mills re-
porting gains of from two to three
dollars a thousand feet in several
classes of lumber. The lowest price
point for many years was touched near
the end of August. The price OF tur-
pentine has been advancing steadily
during the week, and both producers
and dealers are looking for still higher
prices in view of the strong foreign de-
mand. Exports of rice through this
port are increasing steadily.

Five medical units for preventive

that the matter must go to the su-
prone council.
The adversaries of publicity in con-
snection with the proceedings succeeded
Thursday in hermetically closing both
sessions. The mere announcement was
made Thurhday night that the council
had continued to consider the Polish
Lithuanian conflict
The agenda for Thursday called for
the hearing of n representative OF the
Swiss government on its refusal of per-
mission to contingents OF troops de-
tailed by the league to keep order in
the wilma plebiscite zone. to cross
Switzerland; and also Polish COM
plants, that Austria was not only re-
fusing naturalization of Galician Jews

the increase. The offer of the western
farmers to donate corn upon a largo
scale is typical OF the generous spirit
being shown.
