FINANCIAL
COTTON 600DS IN DEMAND
,Vith Mills Running .to Capacity There
in Complaint of Scarcity and
Slow Delivery Contracts.
Mew Yorl:. Feb. 12 With mills run
ning to their capacity," users of cot
ton goods are complaining-of a scarcity
in many lines and of slow deliveries in
other lines. The only weak spots in
an otherwise firm market are in cer
tain staple constructions of printcloths
and some numbers of 36-inchi sheetings.
This weakness is explained by the
uncertainties attending the procuring
0f dyestuffs, which prevents convert
ers and printers from making long
commitments on unfinished , fabrics.
Coarse sheetings for the bag trade are
very firm in 40-inch widths, and this
is also true of many Osnaburgs and
'light weight ducks. , Hose, and belting
duck are scarce for quick delivery, the
domestic trades needs having increased
very much of late. Standard prints
are still held at value but printers are
running as full as scarcity of dyes will
permit. Dress ginghams have been
advanced to a basis of 9 1-2 cents -for
choice eastern grades and staple ging
hams are selling at 7 1-2. The active
demand f orTine and fancy cottons con
tinues in first and second hands, some
mills having entered contracts that
Tvill carry them till October. Jobbers
are doing a very active business and
the markets have been fullof buyers
for retail and other distributing estab
lishments. Knit goods are active and
firm and yarns continue in full demand.
Current quotations on cotton goods are
as follows:
Printcloths 28 inch 64 by 64s 4 cents
nominal: 64 by 60s, 3 B-8c 38 1-2 insh,
64 by 64s, 5 cents; Southern standard

SMALL ADVANCE IN COTTON
Little Price Change and Small Market
Results from Week-End Trading:
Tone of Market Steady
New Orleans, Feb. 2. Small price
changes and a small market resulted!
from the week-end trading in cotton
here today. With Liverpool closed and
New York observing a holiday busi
ness was restricted. The tone was
"steady and the market stood at a small
rise the entire session.
During the early trading prices gain
ed 5 to 6 points, but later they sag
ged under the dullness. Liverpool stood
higher than due but other bullish fea
tures seemed discounted. The close
was at net gain of 2 to 3 points.
Conflicting reports from the interior
regarding the new crop were partly re
sponsible for the small business. There
was much talk of a small 2 acreage,
but weather conditions were reported
almost perfect, and it was claimed
lplowlng had been begun over a great
area and that the soil was in good
shape for field work to go, ahead fast.
Week-end figures were generally
considered bullish, but they created lit
tle buying power, although they con
tributed to the steadiness of the mar
ket. Closed ateadv. Closinsr bid:

ROAD INSTITUTE ADJOURNS
Final Day Featured by Discussion of
Road Materials.
Chapel Hill. N. C, Feb. 12. The.
Third North Carolina Road Institute,
in session here since Tuesday, adjourn
ed last night, after Abiding morning,
afternoon' and night sessions yesterday.
Questions of surfacing materials for
highway construction were discussed
and many valuable papers given by
road engineers present.
The two main subjects discussed at
the morning session of the institute
were suitable surfacing materials for
highway construction, and bridges and
culverts. Mr. Pratt gave a general talk
on this subject, emphasizing particu
larly the need of selecting the right
material for the road that the traffic
demands.
The sand clay and topsoll road, which
is of paramount importance to North
Carolina counties, was discussed by
Mr. Coble of the State Highway Com
mission. A report on the topsoil road
between Chapel Hill and Durham was
given by Professor Hickerson, of the
State University, and of the State
Highway Commission; and a report on
the limit of endurance of the sand
clay and topsoil roads was given by
Mr. Winslow, of the U. S. Office of
Public Roads. Other surfacing mate
rials such as gravel, macadam, bitum
inous macadam, concrete and' brick
were discussed by Messrs. Coble, Fal
11s. D. Tucker Brown, James and Pratt.
Some of the most successful sandclay
roads or toDsoil roads which have been
constructed in North Carolina wlthin
the last twelve months nave Deen
those of Loveladv township of Caldwell
county. These were built by Mr. Floyd
Miller at a cost of $1,000 per mile and
trlvtns ' excellent results.
Field demonstrations were continued
throughout the afternoon.
The question of "culverts" was dis
cussed bv engineers and representa
tives of culvert companies ana tne rel
ative merits of each type of " culvert
brought out. --
Mr. Millsi of the American Associa
tion of Cement Manufacturers, gave an
illustrated lecture on Proper Methods
of Mixing Cement in the Construction
of Cement Roads. This type of road
is almost new to North Carolina and
sis it is now coming into vogue on
roads near our towns and cities, this
lecture was of great value to engineers
in the counties where this type of road
wll lbegin to be built.

ECONOMIC PREPARDNESS
Author Believes American Youth
Should Be Taught to Work.
Jefferson City. Mo., Feb. 10. That
industrial efficiency is a pre-requisite
to military preparedness is the opinion
of Thomas Speed Mosby, author and
publicist, of this city- "Industrial
rather than-- military training' is the
thing most needed in . our public
schools," he says. "Ten years ago the
U. S. Manufacturers' Association 'dis
covered that a majority of the. super
intendents employed in American fac
tories were educated in the trade
schools of Germany, and the world now
knows that back of Germany's wonder
ful military preparedness was a con
dition of ' industrial efficiency little
short, of marvelous." ;
In his recent work on' "Causes and
Cures of Crime" Mr. . Mbsby declares:
One hour a day, in every school room
in the land, would -give to every man,
woman and child of the next genera
tion at least the rudiments of an hon
est, useful and profitable occupation,
would give ttr all "who wanted it a
trade, and would nake of the next
generation of Americans the most pro
ductive and Industrially the most, ef
flcant race the world has ever seen.
Surely, att JMror.a day..wBld not be too
much to ask for this great purpose
vet it wniiliTiiii sufflcientrand' the ven
erable 'three R's' of our educational
nvRtm could weil afford so small a
sacrifice in so great a cause.
"Every err eat nation , that has ever
lived and died, has died because it did
not know bow to make a living. Egypt
carved her splendid monuments with
an artist's hand, and the colossal
grandeur of her architecture has never
since been matcned; but. although she
could shape the obelisks and read for
glory in El Karnack's lofty hall, she
could not make a plow; , and in the
shadow of the Pyramids and among
the tombs of the Pharoahs her degen
erate sons are still turning the world's
most fertile soil with a crooked stick.
Greece filled the world with her syl
logisms and her songs; she breathed
upon the rough block of stone, and
forthwith it sprang into chiselled
unapproachable grace and heauty; but
though counterfeiting life, she knew
not'how to live, and ; -
'storied urn or j animated bust
record at once her glory and her doom.
The eloquence that "fulmined over
Greece to Macedon and Artaxerjtes
throne' could move brave hearts to
t hnnnr and renown. . but rt
could not call up the forces of Nature
to do the will of man. Xerxes the
Great cast fetters into th sea in. token
of his conquest of the deep, but in. the
straits of Salamis the waves mocked
at his pride, and for twenty centuries
the jackals have howled and thfc owls
and bats have hovered among the
broken monuments of his wasted pow
er Rome could conquer nations, but
she could not feed them; and, gorged
with riches, she starved to death in
the Edens of ancient civilization.
"If we of the modern era may claim
any really effective superiority ov
i..ti.otiiMi, of the earlier day. it
is the superiority of industrial efficien
cy In proportion as- we . have learned
to 'work, learned to do more work and
better work'. Just in that proportion
have we advanced in our civilization,
laid deelTthe sure foundations of per
sonal happiness and social security,
and paved the way for a larger and a
better growth." '
Do you know why our city markets
are sanitary? Because the market
m errand Health Department know the
necessity of cleanliness. Why put un
clean meats in your clean markets?.
