Stoves Once Unpopular.

A hundred years ago stoves and
treplaces generally seemed to be the
thing that gave decorators of houses
the greatest concern.
The stove" says a German writer,
speaking of the house furnishings a
hundred years ago, was quite in
dispensable in a northern climate, but
wherein the whole of antiquity was
any reference to be found to a
tiled stove? The universal altar had
again to be called into service. At
Worlitz, for instnce, the stove was
named the altar of winter, or else
was converted into some kind of mon
ument. Isabey hid the stove in his
house in Paris under the figure Of
Minerva"

COTTON PRICES
SHIFT RAPIDLY
DURING WEEK
Increased Activity Noted
In Domestic Goods
Market.

Wide fluctuations in cotton prices
continued to be the rule during the
week ending September j, the most
radical changes occurring on the
latter date. the day of the issuance
of the crop condition report OF this
de epartment. The market reports
Indicate that the advance of nearly
| cent per pound in prices for fu-
ture contracts which occurred at
New York on the morning Of Sep
tember l before the issuance OF the
condition report was attributed
chiefly to hrmness in the Liverpool
market, increased activity in the
domestic goods market. a continued
optimistic view of the domestic
labor situation and the expectancy
of a very bullish condition report.
However. Il seems that many had
anticipated a more bullish report
and shortly after its issuance prices
fell sharply. dropping below the
previous days close. Some of the
selling of futures during the day
was attributed to the usual pre-
holiday liquidation of speculative
accounts.
Earlier in the week and up to

advanced about " cent per pound
above the previous weeks close.
During that time the market came
under conflicting influences. There
were numerous reports of serious
deterioration of the growing crop
due to continued drought in the
Southwest and increased boil weeyil
infestation in other sections of the
cotton belt. The unsettled foreign
political and financial conditions
together with the domestic labor
situation. were the principal de-
pressing influences. Prices at tho
end of the week were practically
the same as on August 25, spot cot
ton being two points lower and oc-
/ tober future contracts at New York
| one point lower
Foreign exchange rates continued
steady with a slight advance for

by the exchanges in ten designated
markets increased materially dur

buity and in spite Of a slight in
crease In car supply are producing
only 65 per cent of the rate attained
before the shop mems strike.
In fact complaints Of lack of cars
have already been received from
the union districts OF Eastern Ohio
and Northern West Virginia. The
limiting factor in production of BIZ
luminous coal has thus changed
over night. A week ago il was the
supply of mine labor; today II is
transportation. The first response
OF the railroads to the demand for
more service has been favorable,
partly because they had a surplus
of 10000 empty coal cars when the
union mines resumed work. Wheth-
er the roads can maintain the pres
ent rate of coal movement when
the surplus Of cars is exhausted re-
mains to be seen.
Even IN the bituminous mines the
strike is not yet entirely over.
Some thousands of men are still
out in the nonunion fields of Penn
sylvania, particularly the Connells-
Vile coke region. in the Georges
Creek field and in the union dis
tricts of West Virginia, according

vey.
No anthracite has yet been pro-
duced by the mines. The total out
put for the week ended August IS
was about $4,000 net tons. princi-
pally steam sizes. recovered by
river dredges. In the corresponding

The latest information on ship
ments from storage yards gives the
number of cars loaded during the
week ended August 10 as 2.792. a
considerable decrease from the pre-
ceding weeks. Further decline is
indicated for the week ended Au-
gust 26. These shipments were
chiefly pea coal and smaller sizes.
Remaining stocks are very low.
In fe wdistricts did operations
controlled by the agreement begin
shipping during the week under re-
view. A number Of mines in the
No. s, Cambridge, and other dis
tricts of Eastern and Northern Ohio
were working on Friday and Satur-
day. In Southern Ohio fifty-nine
mines out ola total of ass were at
work by the end Of the week but
only 1900 tons were loaded. Ship
ments began also from a few mines
in Pennsylvania, but from the other
districts that have since gone to
work no coal was obtained during
the week of August 10.
In few districts did operations
little change occurred. Transpor-
tation service was on the whole
less satisfactory in the nonunion
fields of the middle Appalachians
Among Nthe districts to report
larger losses on account of railroad
disability were Pocahontas, Tug
River. Logan. Eastern Kentucky.
Western Kentucky and Alabama.
In the Winding Gulf. New River
and Kenova Thacker districts there
was some improvement. The dis
tricts to report greatest loss
through transportation were Har-
Ian, Hazard and Winding Gulf.

Report. the percentages shown do

What poverty exists in Germany
is. hidden. People living on divi-
dends and small fortunes before
the war are now ruined because of
the downfall of the mark. Young

stricken.
More Distress in England.
That no doubt is true. but.
broadly speaking, 1 believe there is
less distress at the moment in Ger
many than in England. Neverthe-
less ruin stares Germany in the
eyes and draws close. The ground
Is slipping beneath the highly or
ganized and complicated industrial
state. When the crash comes 1t
will be colossal. For Germany is
not self-supporting, nor cannot be.
She must import raw material in
order to export manufactured
goods, and the time has already
come when she cannot buy those
imports with paper money. She
must buy great quantities of food
and fuel. She can only do so at
ruinous prices.
Intellectually she Is already shut
up in cage. Her professors,
writer's and students cannot buy
foreign books. Even newspapers
cannot afford to pay for news If it
means keeping foreign correspond
ents abroad.
Cannot Pay Wage BILL
1t Is Impossible for her to pay
the reparations unless the mark
rises in international value. 1t is
impossible for her to pay her wage
bill-which will'be vastly increased,
because workmen will demand a
new scale to meet new prices dur
ing the next few weeks-without
another vast issue OF paper money
which viii instantly fling the mark
further to the depths.
I saw what happened in Austria.
The Germans are going the same
way. If she goes all the way, 1t is
not only Germany ruined but the
greater part of Europe What can
she do to save herself? Only one
thing. and that very dangerous.
She must stop printing money and
gradually deflate her currency.
Other nations which have done SO,
like Czecho- -Slovakia. Switzerland,
Holland, Italy and England, have
steadily improved their rate of ex-
change.
