' BERLIN. October a Owing to tne
high price of cotton the German textile

pany at Chemnitz had succeeded In spin-
' atng the fiber contained in the seeds of
the kapok or silk cotton tree of the trop-

not be spun owing to Its extreme btlttle-
neaa. but Prof. Golberg of Chemnitx has
found a method of treating It to make it
aplnnable and the yarn la described aa

The fiber has hitherto been used as a
padding material for furniture. In mak-

The drive through the old French sec

Ing to the president and he vetoed any
suggestion of Its curtailment. The ride
followed the president's attendance at
the morning services of the I'nitarlan
church where he heard a sermon on
"The Interpretation of Life." by Rev. 11.
Elmer Gilchrist. Tbe president was ac
companied through the quarter by Prof.
Alcee Fortler of the Louisiana Historical
society who pointed out the succeeding
places- of interest.
Mr. Tan complimented the historical
society upon the preservation of tbe rec-
ords of old New Orleana and expressed
regret to see that here and there modern
buildings were springing .up In the Ola
Quarter and that ancient landmarks war
being torn down. He declared It seemed
like a desecration.

"One of the advantages of living In a
State like Louisiana Is that we get a

race that makes history at all. But It
doe not diminish one's pride in an Anglo-
Saxon descent to be made aware of how
much other races have contributed to

to pay a tribute to the French and Span
ish who had so much to do with the

who Insisted on taking me into a corner
where only men were adnrnti

time at least they were willing to meet
the president of the United States. How

NEW TORK October 31. Th relaxed
tone of the money market In New York
last week cleared the epeeulattve at
mosphere to some extent and the stock
market emerged through a period of un
certainty and Irregularity into substan
tial recovery. The determination of the
director of the Imperial Bank of Ger-
many to leave the minimum discount ram
unchanged at I per cent waa the initial
factor In Imparting renewed confidence
over the International money outlook.
statement made by the authorities of the
Bank of France to th Associated Press
waa a potent Influence In the ame di-
rection not only In tta assertion of the
wullngnesa of that lntltuUon to-fc

terms aa In 1107. In case of necessity bat
In Its expressed opinion that th situa
tion called for no auoh measures.; The
Bank of England under the circum-
stance contented Itself with the I per
cent official discount rate established the
week before and refrained from further
advancing the rata The money market
in New York was aenatbly relaxed not-
withstanding an outflow of gold to South
America on orders from London and to
Canada
NEW TORK MARKET RELIEVED
A substantial relief to .the New York
money market waa affected by the plac-
ing In' Paris of large blocks of New
York city revenue warrants which served
to meet maturities of similar warrants
coming due on November 1. and held In
large amounts by foreign Investors. Later
in the week there came complaints from
London of the reappearance of Amer
ican borrowings there effected through
the Inducement of a liberal commission
which amounted to a substantial pre-
mium over the Interest rate. The in-
creased offering of funds which made
their appearance In the New York stock
market and revived tne later specuiauon
was aseribed to these oDerattons.
The revived speculation owed no small
part also to Industrial considerations. The
first Impression made by the quarterly
report of the United States steer- corpo
ration waa one of disappointment.
UNFILLED TONNAGE ORDERS.
In the mature consideration however
the unfilled orders of tonnage was point
ed to aa a favorable condition rather
than aa a cause for disappointment since
It Indicated the extent to which heavy
production had kept pace with new or-
uers. while avoiding a disadvantage of
contract obligations for future deliveries
at the lower prices formerly prevailing.
SuDDlementarv reports of the larae vol
ume of order placed dally since the first
of October and at the better price since
established continued tnis more ravora-
ble view of the situation. Some special
aignlflcance was attached to the new
atrenath manifested by copper securities
One of the contributory Influences In
the week's stock market was the revival
of railroad deal rumors especially con
cernlng the supposed future projects of
jcawin Hawiey.
. The excited speculation tn the cotton
market the high price for that staple
and tne widespread movement toward
curtailment of output which followed
among spinners not only In this country
but In England was regarded aa a dis-
tinctly adverse factor.
BEC0BD S; LES OF STEEL
Heavy Transactions in Iron Also
Characterized Market.
(Associated Press Report.)
NEW YORK October 31. Another week
of heavy transactions In Iron and steel
products haa established a record of sales
for October which haa never been ex-
celled. The .output of both pig iron and
steel Ingot haa been the heaviest ever
known. Consumption of finished steel
products la also Increasing but It la diffi-
cult to determine to what extent as con-
tracts are placing largely for future de-
livery. The railroads have continued to be the
most Important supporters of the steel
market placing large order for atoel
rails locomotives and cars last week. In-
terest mainly centers in the New York
Central railroad purchases which In-
cluded nearly 19000 car 36S locomotive
and 165000 ton of rails.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad also
placed orders for MOO cars while other
and smaller orders brought up the" car
total for the week to 26000 and for the
month between 39000 and 40000. Rail
check for the week aggregated 270.000
tons making the total for October 500000
tons. Contract for locomotives .placed
during th month have been nearly 000.
It Is eatlmated that the railroads have
been responsible either directly or In-
directly for 2.000000 tons of finished steel
products order In October. Manufactur-
ing Industries have placed orders for
semi-finished and finished material ag-
gregating tl.000000.
The demand for wire products has been
especially heavy for thla season of the
year. In fact all ktnda of finished ma-
terial with the single exception of fabri-
cated structural steel have rolled up a
heavy tonnage. Fabricated material
however haa been unsettled during the
last ten days and prices sagged before
the effort to secure new business by
some contractor who still have unfilled
tonnagea of plain material contracted for
by th mills at low prices. Last week'
orders for fabricated material were lesg;
than anticipated not more than 16000
