 Miss Frances Whittlesey presided. explaining that in order to keep Mrs. Charles r.. Mitchell. whom aIl loved and admired. as president of the aux Hilary. sho and Miss Cornelia Cham berIain and the other officers had promised to do the active work. The old hymn. peculiarly associated with tho Mission. wna sung by tho audi ence and Mlan whIttlescy offered prayer in which she asked Divina guidance that tho material. tho spir- ituai. tha religious and tho intellect uni might be so blended in the work of tho organization that thore might result united wholo which would conAccrata tho lahors of love of tho mission.
 Mrs. R. N. Peek reported that thero hnd boen received from tha lectur" by John Kendrick Bangs tho sum of s37t.

 Mrs. Kelley Speaks.
 Mrs. Kelley spoke in n manner most unaffected hut disclosing n personal ity strong enough to be at the head of tho great work the McAll association is doing in America for the Mission in France. She touched briefly upon conditions in New Britain. which. she hoped. would he such as to warrant the holding of the general annual con vention of the association here before long.
 Mrs. Kelley took for the inspiration of her talk the remark of Dr. John R. Mott. recognized to be the chief au- thority in this country on missions all over tho world. She quoted Dr. Mott as saying that out of q study of 45 missionary organizations the world over he knew of none greaer than the McAll Mission in France, as to it's Christlike character of conception. it's wisdom of operation. its apostolic spirit, its economy of administrations and its vitalizing quality which grows greater as one approaches nearer its field of operation.
 Appeals to All.
 The speaker told of the inscription ever tho door of tho first mission hall in France in the Belleville quarter Some English Friends Desire to speak to you of Jesus Christ" She told how this had appealed to no especial sect, people of no creed-but had appealed to all. most of whom knew nothing of Christ and Ills life and work. She spoke of the begin ming of the work in 1872 when Rob- ert McAll went to Franco and of the growth of tho work then started by him.
 Mrs. Kelley described the planting of mission halls in various parts of France hy means of the McAll boats which are tied up to n wharf In n community where people arc ignor- ant of things religious and spiritual. In this way. she said. tho branches arc started everywhere.
 Before the war there wero these halls. There were tho mems clubs, the societies where girls, ignorant of sewing or other housewifely duties were taught. tho teaching Of the youth of wireless tclegraphy. the mothers meetings.
 Then tho War.
 Then came tho war. Whole regions were devastated. McAn halls every where helped as they could. In Nice dusky African troops heard the Word preached three nights n week. On

Americans Preparations for
heavyweight Showing in
January Delayed by Un.
favorable Developments

AS the time draws nearer for onsr-
ihs the heavy weight season in woolen
kooas' all eyes are certering on the
American Woolen Company, which took
the trade by surprise late il. july and
got large share of the available bust
ness for spring.
Inc question now being asked is
whether the American will atternpt an-
other such coup. And, if so, il ia
generally wondered how successful the
company vii. be this time. Manv oh
servers insist that the action cannot ba
repeated, for it is felt that buyers are
now Ia no mood to rush in and place
orders. 'N1 piaee
preparations arc understood to he
virtually complete for opening lines on
tho new season early in the wear. but
just now the American company ia not
nurrying to bring out samples for the
reason that the outlook ia none zoo
! rosy. Cancellations and refusals are
accommodating at faster pace than an
| ticipared few weeks ago, and REPORTS
from the clothing trade are considered
depressing.
More attention is being given to
gooas OF lower grades as it becomes
apparent that buyers show an incroas
ing disposition to sacrifice quality to
price, and manufacturers of higher
grace clothing are finding greater diff
flculty in disposing of goods.
Preparations have been under wav
for some time for showing heavy
weight lines at the American com
pany's, sales Offices here, and a sud
den decision of company officials to
bring out their wares would find the
sales forces ready, but it Is uues-
tion IN the minds of many whether
the trade will be ready as early as
usual this winter to study samples.
The American by it's early opening
on spring lines took large orders
and kept mills busy all the fall, opera
tions being far larger than was gen
orally anticipated in the early sum
mer.
Diiflculties are now being encoun-
tered however, and several factors
are causing uncertainty of one kind
or another. Not the least of these is
an increase in cancellations. Figures
are unavailable, OF course, on the
percentage of cancellations, but it is
known that this adverse Influence
mas been more pronounced recently
than earlier in the season. The early
good showing is accounted for, in a
measure, by the extreme care the com
pany took in accepting orders, for
one of the main questions considered
was the possibility of returns, and
allotments were restricted if the com
pany felt that buyers had ordered too
heavily for their own interests.
Lately, however, consumer buvinr has
CONSTRUCTED sharply.
In view of the fact that the fall
opening cannot be indefinitely de-
layed, preparations necessarily must
be continued, and the trade will keep
itself Informed on progress made.

Price Cut Expected
To Aid Muslin Buying

The reduction on Fruit of the Loom
"a bleached muslins from 20 cents to
TN cents for December delivery, an
nounced yesterday by Converse & Co.
selling agents, took the trade somewhat
by surprise. 1t was generally believed
that cut would be made to stimulate
orders, but advance estimates were
around 19 cents
1t was made plain that Only limited
amount of goods would be available for
December, and it was believed that the
present price would be advanced for
later deliveries. The previous price of
~ cents, made about month ago, was
considered low at that time, in view of
the tendency of raw cotton then to
advance above the 2O-cent level.
The latest price is only half a cent
a yard higher than that made in Au
gust, and is two cents lower than the
tentative figure set during the recent
rise in gray goods.
Imme dlately after the announcement
OF the new price, which at present is
below replacement costs, an influx of
orders appeared. Jobbers and manu-
facturers yesterday purchased from
LOCO to 1900 cases. A large volume
OF orders is expected to be sent in by
Jobbers throughout the country, many
of whom have not yet received notice
OF the drastic cut made yesterday.
