New York.-While reports of easier Southern spot mnrkets and expectations of h variable government crop report next week have created rather a pesl mlstlo view In local cotton circles as to probable price movements, there Is more tula of an early resumption of business on the exchanges. Today’s report from the conference committee showed that 1.200 hales of the olu straddle IntrVest had been liquidated as a result of yes terday's operations In Liverpool and re cent better progress in the reduction of the straddle lihh had a favorable effect on sentiment. Private cables report a very po<a- business in Manehesler but payments are becoming easier so that the situation there Is Improving to some extent and liquidation on the basis of 9 cents for December here Is expected to become more active.

THE COMFORTS OF All ARMY Prom Standpoint of Military Efficiency, Ideal Army is One Where Men Are Unhampered By Personal Equipment There la much misconception In rela tion to the comforts and attention that can be provided for an army engaged In an active campaign In the field, and considerable light Is throvrn on the sub ject by an article In the special war edi tion of the Scientific American, of Sep tember sth. from which the following la derived: Assuming, then, that supplies of all kinds are abundant and that tbs matter of economy does not enter Into the con sideration would it eventually prove a kindness to equip an army for cam paign with everything necessary to sup ply Its men so far ns possible with the comforts to whtch they are accustomed at home, or. on the other hand, la It true that war, from Its very nature, re quires a temporary reversion to those more primitive conditions In which tne needs of the Individual are few and sim ple? The latter assumption Is accepted in the medical department as the basis for oonstr acting its * s »me of service with the troops on llw firing line. A thorough understanding of this basis and the necessity for Its edoptlon Is essen tial to an Intelligent discussion of the Plans for caring for the sick nnd wound ed. Military Efficiency. From the standpoint of military ef ficiency, the Ideal army would be one In which every man carried a rifle, and unhampereu by personal equipment was able to devote his entire energies to the purpose of defeating the enemy; simi larly, the Ides medical service for such I an army would he one which, without encumbering the fighting forces with | supplies, equipment, urn no-combatant ; personnel, would appear on the battle field at the desired moment, render first aid lo the wounded and whisk them away In falry-llke manner, out of the sons of combat to a place where all the I comforts of civilisation and all facilities I for their treatment and the best medical 1 and surgical skill obtainable are at hand. Absolute realisation of these Ideals, either for an army or for a medical serv ice. le. of course, unattainable. An army must have a supply service, a telegraph service, and a medical service, operated by men who do not carry rifles and who j are unavoidably an Impediment: but their presence Is Justified by the purely military advantages which the army gains by their cervices. Thus, It Is uni- I versally conceded that the morale of I troops Is Improved by the knowledge I that they have with them even a very j limited member of medical attendants Kvery military leader detfrrs of course, to provide his tnen wltn every comfort which It Is practicable for them to nave without Impairing lo on unwarranted de gree the fig..ung power of his army, «nd each desires the ntoet efficient medlcil service It Is possible to obtain with a limited allowance of personnel and equipment.
