NEW YORK COTTON
New York, Feb. 5.—The cotton
market showed continued nervous
ness early today but a somewhat ir
regular and unsettled opening was
followed by higher prices on cover
ing and trade buying. Selling by lo-
col and Wall street operators and
houses with Liverpool connections Jl,1 y
prevented a full response to the Oct.
higher cables, and first prices were Dec.
1 to 13 points higher. Offerings
were light after the first hours of
selling orders had been absorbed,
however, and before the end ot the
first hour March had sold up to 30.59
and May to' 29.94, or 27 to 37 points
above the closing price ot last Satur
day.
During the second hour the market
r"acted some 200 points from the
high. Southern spot firms sent some
selling orders to hedge against -cot

About Constipation.
Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese,
tea and boiled milk. On the other
hand raw fruits, especially apples
and bananas, also graham bread and
whole- wheat bread promote a move
ment of the bowels. When the bow
els are badly constipated, however,
the sure way Is to take one or two
of Chamberlain’s Tablets Immediate

Washington, Feb. 5.—Expeditious
production and delivery of war sup
plies and substantial saving ln con
tract prices to the government have
been achieved by the Council of Na
tional Defense through its plvlllan
advisory commission, according to
the oouncll's first annual report trans
mitted to congress by the president.
The report covers the work of the
council for only four months, from
the time ot organization, March 3,
1917, to the end of the fiscal year,
June 30.
In a broad sense, tbe council and
commission hare sought to make
available to the United States the
best thought and effort of American
Industrial and professional life for
the successful prosecution of the
war," the report says:
‘The direction of the machinery of
American Industry for the national
defense necessarily involves the cre
ation of of great flexibility. The
swift changes in strategy and rapid
Improvement In war machinery, at
tended by the equal speed with which
Implements of warfare are scrapped
and replaced at the front, baa been
reflected by corresponding rapid
transformation and stimulation of the
Industrial organization within the na
tions at war. The history of the
first three months of the war ln tae
United States have proven no excep
tion.
“It has been tbe effort of the organ
ization of tbe Council of National
Defense to hold itself In constant
teadlness to meet such new demands
and to shift Its ground and expand
Its facilities In the Interest ot the na
tional service. Itt organization has
been and of necessity must continue
In process of evolution^ rajHd 'enough
to prevent confusion or lack ot prop
er co-ordination and control. In a
peculiar sense It has felt itself called
upon to be constantly ready to ‘flit
In the gaps’ and assist the regular
departments of the government.”
In order to assure the American
forces adequate equipment to bring
victory, vast Increases In the country
output ot war supplies were neces
sary. The council baa developed new
sources ot supply for both raw ma
terials and flnlshrd products and
purchases of supplies for the execu
tive departments have been co-ordi
nated. Standardized specifications
for tools and Implements need in the
organized and manifestly capable es
tablishments rather than scattering
oiders for planes and separate parts
among a large number of small shops.
"Competitive bidding between the
sr.b-departments and committees, has
been eliminated by the general muni
tions board, which acted as a clear
ing house; particularly for orders
which Involve materials ln which
national shortage existed. Where
manufacturing facilities were Insuffi
cient the board has directed efforts
to develop new facilities.
"The committee on supplies by the
securing of options, the ’pegging of
prices of various articles, the allot
ment of large requirements through
out the industries, the elimination of
middlemen, and the curbing of com
petition between government depart
ments, has enabled the government
to make substantial savings ln Its
purchases of textiles, foodstuffs and
leather, . .
.(“The report of the committee on
rafr materials, minerals, anrf. metals
states: ‘Without authority to fix
prices, the committee has succeeded
In obtaining raw materials at sub
stantial price reductions without
trade disturbance of real conse
quence. Without the legal power to
dftermlne priority, It has been large
ly instrumental ii| many cases in di
verting output ln Buch manner as to
secure the greatest genera] benefit.
Without any power save that of pet-
suasion, It has brought specialized
private business efficiency into Im
mediate and effective co-operation

ment)"
In stimulating the work of the
committee on coal production, the re-
•jort says:
"During the week ending January-
S, 1917, the average daily production
of bituminous coal was 1,840,000 net
tons, of anthracite coal 228,490 gross
tons; during the week ending April
11, 1917, the time of the creation of
the committee on coal production,
the average daily production of bitu
minous coal had decreased to 1,682,-
CPC tons; of anthracite to 223,680
gross tons. From the latter date, pro
duction progressively increased until
sarly ln July bituminous coal was be
ing produced at the rate o^ 902,864
tons per day. and anthracite at the
rate of 281,960 gross tons per day.
the greatest output in the Entire his
tory of the coal Industry, an output,
if maintained, sufficient to supply,
not only the entire coal requirements
of this country but also would have
created a large surplus to relieve the
coal shortage of the allied nations.”
The commercial eoonomy. board
afa stapled and-advised how commer
cial business might reduce non-essen
tial activities. The board's work
covered returns ot unsold bread to
oakeries, waste ln deliveries, wool
conservation, and other fields.
The report of the committee on
transportation outlines the history of
the directing organization for war
purposes built up by the railroad war
ocard upon the special Invitation ot
the Council of National Defense. The
ton mileage during April, May and
Tune was 15,500,000,000 ton miles,
which was 18 percent more than ln
the previous year.
To economize ln traffic facilities
passenger trains making over 24.-
900,000 miles per year ln the aggre
gate had already been discontinued
at the recommendation of the execu
tive committee. This, the report es
timates, will result in the saving of
1,500,000 tons of coal per year, and
r.'s released 3,000 men and a consid
erable number of engineers for other
and more Important service.
Later a resolution was adopted by
the committee, approved by the coun
cil. declaring there should be no de
parture from present standards In
state laws or rulings affecting labor,
without a declaration by the cooncll
that it Is essential for national de
fense. * >s' *-
In describing'work of special com
mittees, special mention la made of
that on wages and hours, which as-
sftfMt'in incorporating in govern-
meht> contracts the standards for
wages and hours already established
by federal legislation.
