Cotton Consumption Gains.

The recent decline in cotton
prices. which vas partly recovered
last week, has been due to Condi-
lions other than those of domestic
and foreign demand. Since the new
crop season opened on August l
consumption of cotton by American
mills has increastd substantially,
and in October reached the highest
point in many months. At 494,745
bales the October CONSUMPTION was
10000 bales larger than that of Sep
TENDER and nearly $1,000 bales
above the July total. The October
figures. moreover, are about $4,000
bales in excess of those for that
month of last year. In exports the
gain is even more striking. From
522, 500 bales in September shipments
abroad rose to S74,510 bales in Oc-
tober and sharply surpassed the
$4,000 bales of October. 1920. With
comparisons such as these. it has
been necessary to look elsewhere
for the cause of the late setback in
prices, and increased crop estimates
have afforded partial explanation.

many might prevent hostilities, but
experience shows that these had but
relatively small influence.
The fact must not be overlooked
that there are cases in history
where an international obligation
may have been the stimulus to a re-

lively easier to fight for indepen-
dence than to. pay for 1t. This &C.
CURED, however, before the time
when the costs Of war had grown
to such enormous sums. It may
be that these same financial re1a-
lions will at times develop dipIo-
matte strains leading to hostilities
when the other causes of war would
not cause a rupture in peaceful re-
lations.
A possible development which
might go far toward settling inter-

tons by the sale and transfer of
colonial possessions. This method
is followed in principle when. cap
tured areas are retained BIZ the
victor as an offset to the cost Of the
conflict. Possibly by peaceful
transfer through agreement the
enormous cost of the actual conflict
could be avoided. Up to the pres
ent, however. the new methods OF
financing war have been developed
as rapidly as nations have needed
them, although more recently wars
have cost much more than was an
ticipated by the nations than when
the struggle began.
While international finance may
properly be considered to some de-
gress a preventive of war. 1t Is yet
to be shown how It may be utilized
to cover cases where there Is out

that the great financial interests of
the world might prevent war If they
operated in accord ard unison. but,
unfortunately. financial groups arc
divided and centered about national
government. and are actuated by
the same motives as government
leaders.

The absence of Speaker Gillett
of the House from the chair during
the past week has been explained
by the fact that he suddenly lost
his voice through an attack of

vice Of his physician Mr.. Gillett has
saved his voice by aid Of a pencil

After tomorrow the Speakers

Dry Goods Trade.

With an inventorying period at
hand and jobbers buying little, pri-
mary dry goods markets have ruled
quieter during the past week. HesI-
tation has been increased by the
recent decline in raw cotton, and a
general softening of prices on un-
finished goods has developed. Fol-
lowing the late upturn, print cloths
have yielded again to the SC basis.
and some other leading fabrics have
also fallen moderately On the
whole. the price movement in tex
tiles is uneven, and a rise in raw
silk at Yokohama has been only
partially reflected here. The cloak
ing and dress goods trades have
been somewhat unsettled by the
strike of garment workers In New
York City, while dullness in the de-
mand for the finer grades of wor-
steds is causing a lessening of out
put in that line. Irreguiarity of
production is evidenced in different
quarters. but activity at carpet and
rug mills, where large operations
are assured for the next few
months, is favorable feature.

Duncan Nichol, for half century owner of the old Bank Exchange Saloon here, known probably every where for it's pisco punches, is not living on memories of before prohi- bition days. At 70 years of age he has started a course at the automo. tive school of the Young Mems Christian Association.
 "Pisco Johns" as Nichols place was known to thousands, had bar and a tiled floor, which tradition says came around the Horn many years ago. It was resort of the gentle and the elite and because Nichol would permit no rowdyism, it became a privileged house where women might drink at the bar Night ly scores from fashionable residence downtown to the Bank Exchange for the famed drink
 The Bank Enchange was opened in the fifties In the seventies, Nichols, a lonely and penniless boy. arrived from Scotland and soon after took over the resort. Then came the pisco punch. Nichols says he can not remember when he invented the drink
