New York Cotton

NEW YORK, January Is [P).-Cotton
opened steady today at an advance of 3
to points on a further demand from
the trade coupled with Steadier cables
and reports of light offerings from the
South March sold at STA
Houses with Far Eastern and Euro
pean connections were among the early
buyers, but the advance to 6.74 for
March and TOT for July met consider
able realizing and there also seemed to
be little more southern selling after
the call. This supplied the initial de-
mand and prices eased off few points.
1t appeared, however. that there were
buying orders in the market around the
7-cent level for July contracts.
At the end of the first half hour the
market was about steady within a point
or two of yesterdays closing quotations
with July selling around 7.01. Liver
pool cables reported Bombay liquidation
and selling on the improvement in
sterling, but said Manchester was more
cheerful with an improved cloth de-
mand from China.
Evidences of a continued trade de-
mand just under the market had a sus-
tanning effect later in the morning, but
buyers showed little inclination to fol-
low up advances. This was partly due
to signs of hesitation In the stock mar
ket. At midday March was ruling
around 6.66. with the general market
about net unchanged to 2 points lower.

CHICAGO. January Is (P).-Unex-
pectedly big wheat shipments from
southern hemisphere sources gave an
early downward trend to grain prices
today. The weeks total of wheat ex-
portsi by Argentina and Australia was
9,274,000 bushels. Opening at a shade
to 80 lower, wheat afterward Sagged
further. Corn started unchanged to
"a off, and subsequently held near the
initial limits.
Sub-zero temperatures spreading into
domestic Winter wheat territory acted
as curb on wheat price setbacks
Rallies. however, were not impressive
Washington forecasts that the recon-
struCtion finance bill would be adopted
today by the House were also without
any material market influence.
European demand for United States
wheat was reported as Of insufficient
volume to support values. France was
referred to as occasionally taking a
few lots from Canada. Some domestic
hard Winter wheat was mentioned as
having been sold for overseas shipment
from Atlantic ports, but at unsatisfac-
tory prices. Corn and oats 5agged
with wheat. despite Winter weather

besides, is the fact that diverslflcatlon

prosperity first, aluminium in some form

BUILDING AND LOAN
OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
Payments by Borrowers on
Homes Surpass Best
Expectations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 15.-IncreaSing
investments in some sections. plus q
steady flow of repayments on mortgage
loans, have led the Nations building
and loan associations to anticipate 1882
receipts which will compare favorable
with more prosperous years.
Summaries Of January l reports from
Is State leagues of building and loan
associations, made public today, show
that loan payments by borrowers on
homes have held up better than the
most optimistic leaders in the business
had hoped for"
The United States Building and Loan
League, representing A State leagues
whose 1900 associations handle more
than so per cent of the Nations SO, 000,-
100000 building and loan business, says
money receipts indicated by those year
end summaries set the 1882 stage for
marked revival of business con-
fidence."
Investments Increase.
Activities of small investors, the
league believes, will largely gauge the
speed of business this year.
Large building and loan associations
in such States as New York, California,
| Illinois, Colorado and Maine have re-
| ported that money invested with them
! since November l shows decided in
crease over amounts invested for similar
periods during the first nine months
of 1881.
Building and loan associations gen.
orally, the league reports, are confident
| that 1882 receipts from new members
will be greater than in 1881. The VOL
ume of new shareholders joining asso-
| Citations in 1881 points to a gain in total
memberships over the figure at the end
| of 1880, when building and loan in
vestors exceeded 12,350000
Associations whose business Is imam
cling homes, the league points out, have
entered the new year standing on their
own feet, with freedom from obligations
! to banks in most cases.
In a few areas associations have
more money than the demand for home
! loans will use up" the league reports.
/ We find generally that where there
! have been no upsets in other financial
: Institutions, building and loan business
approaches normal with new money
coming in and some mortgage loans be-
| ing made. Loans for remodeling houses
are substantial part of the present
loan demand
Expect Bigger Savings.
More than 80 per cent of the people
! who work for living are still drawing
| wages and salaries Their living ex-
penses do not use up all their income,
and this year more than last they will
save something.
We already have signs in several
quarters that boarded money Is being
entrusted to financial institutions again.
In II States building and loan associa-
lions have taken in large rolls of cash
and old-fashioned large-sized currency.
The everyday investor is a sign Of
business stability to whom our prophets
of gloom have not given much attention.
The building and loan associations new
members are people who are quietly
putting away small sums. Business re-
coyery can expect more from that kind
of confidence than from the lavish in
veStS1ent of hundreds and thousands of
dollars by few individuals"

Americas Huge Stake
Abroad Means That
A1oofness to Debtors Is
Fraught With Danger.
BY DIR, MAX WINKLER.

NEW YORK, January IS (N.A.N.A).
No intervention in any way to aid IN
the settlement of Europes problem will
be the program from now on of the
administration in Washington. The
President is understood to have init
mated that he is going to devote his
entire time to domestic problems, Whlch
have assumed such proportion as TO
merit his undivided attention. This Is
no doubt very laudable move on the
part of Americas President.
One might. however, inquire whether
1t is quite 50 simple for the United
States TO withdraw now from world
affairs with impunity. 1t must not be
forgotten that Americas stake abroad
that is, American investments In for
eign countries-totals almost. Sl8 O00,-
0O0 600, or we'll over $40 for each man,
woman and child in the country, and
that a policy of aloofneSS now is fraught
with some danger. 1t might not have
hurt the Nation had such a policy been
enunciated before the United States
assumed the role of playing the world S

Somewhat more encouraging reports
are emanating from the steel industry.
,
to the increased requirements on the
part of automobile manufacturers.
Business Leaders Optimistic.
In the Youngstown district the Car
negie Steel Co. is operating slightly UNI
der 40 per cent of capacity, as COM
pared with less than 80 per cent in the
last two weeks Of the past year. The
figures still are appreciably below last
year this time, when the Carnegie COM
pany was operating at so per cent.
Confidence in the immediate future
business is expressed by l.. P. Fisher,
president of the Cadillac Motor Car Co.
Mr.. Fisher interpretS the exceptionally
heavy attendance at the automobile
show as an indication of greater SELL
| ing possibilities during the coming sea-
son. Several manufacturers have an
nounced appreciate gains over the cor
responding period Of last years expo
Sition.
Trafic soon will start on the upward
curve. according to Fred M Sargent,
president OF the Chicago 81 Northwest
ern Railway.
The trafic Of his system, he con-
! tinues. is so we'll diversified that when
one class fails another class makes up
the deficiency. Last year. however, the
road suffered from loss of all kinds OF
traffic, net only agricultural products
but mining and manufactured products
as well. This situation. according to
Mr.. Sargent, is not likely to happen
again.

LABOR PROTESTS
Use on u. S. Jobs of British
Made Materials

Tucson, Ariz. (ILNS) THAT part of
the material and appliances installed
in the addition to the Veterans Hos
pital here was made in England is
now known to be definitely true. The
parts so made bear the stamp "Made
in England and were sold to the
Orndorff Construction Company by
the Campbell Metal Window Corpor-
alton of Baltimore, Md. The acces-
sories which are known to have been
made in England are the exterior
operating windows, which bear the
imprint, "Made in England" and the
hardware, which likewise bears this
imprint.
The government specifications un-
der which the contractor was operat
ing who built this addition states
specifically that domestic products
should be used throughout. Under
the heading of STANDARD Specifica-
tions for General Conditions, Para
graph 15," the subtitle of prefer
ence for domestic articles or mate
rials," the following statement is
made: preference will be given to
articles or materials of domestic pro-
duction, conditions of quality and
price, including duty, being equal.
Unless otherwise stated in the bid it
will be understood that domestic
articles or materials only will be used,
and the use of foreign articles or
materials will not be permitted un-
less % they are of better quality,
or (2) being equal in quality, will he
furnished at lower cost to the gov
ernment, or CD domestic articles or
materials are not available. The
terms domestic articles or materials
in this connection means articles or
materials manufactured or assembled
in the United States or its posses
sions."
The three reasons which would per-
NIT the use of foreign-made articles
will not apply with respect to the
hardware and window sash used by
the Orndorff Construction Company,
since there is very little difference
in the quality of that furnished by
Campbell and other United States
metal sash window corporations. AS
for the price, it has been stated and
is known that all these products are
under government supervision, and
consequently there can be very little
difference in the grades manufactur-
ed. 1t is known fact that domestic
window sash and hardware is avail
able, and is used in many of the prof.
ects of the government at the pres
ent time.
Under instructions from the Tucson
Central Trades Council, the council
secretary has sent letters to Ari-
zona's representatives in congress ad
vising them of the breach of speci-
fcations. Similar letters have gone

department and the American Fed
