In the hide and leather indus ery the discrepancy is even greater, the board asserted, the present price of iskins being one third under pre war levels while the price of shoes is twice as high as fai 1913.

' ?/ ' " I \ r There was greater stabilisation in the price of raw cotton during the month, according to the report, and the'"price of gray goods, after de clining to 6 1-4 cents a yard, ad-' vainced slightly. Nevertheless, the New England district reports that at present prices the spread beween a pound of cotton goods and a pound of raw cotton is only 22 1$, cents, whereas a year ago it was approxi matejy a aoiiar. Textile mills in the South aire re ported to be running approximately foil time in the Richmond bank1* dis trict. Wage cuts in the Southern mills have been more drastic than in other , sections and it is Mid that many people in the trade claim that the reductions have been in keeping with the lowered prices lor ravr ma trial. In the Atlanta district a num ber of reporting mills show an in crease in yardage of 4.5 per cent, over February, although there was t decrease of 22.1 per cent, as com pared with a year ago. The increase in orders on hand during the month was negligible, but much greater than a year ago when new orders were not acceptable because of th? press of work. It is said that few mills are as yet working at full day :apacity, although a number indicate orders on hand which will require full running time for several weeks for their completion. The increase [n yarn output, by pounds, of report ing yarn mills was 8 per cent, dur ing the month, although totals were 26.2 per cent, below that month a years ago. There has been a recent increase in export sales of cotton1 eoods amounting to between 10.000 - - - 1 and 12,000 bales and consisting principally of drills and sheeting to China, India and Levant. The principle of the electric mo tor was discovered in 1824 by Peter Barlow, an Englishman. FRENCH AND BRIT5H COME TO AGREEMENT I * I 7 . %t " ' . ? (Continued Froin^age One) could not agree to a blockade which would bring the sillies into con troversy with the United States. M. Briand agreed to this point' of view. He added that the course Of the United States had been absolutely correct. x Uneasiness still exists among the French delegates over the possibil ity that Washington, may ondeavor ;o meditite; they, declare this would not be acceptable to them. The cause 01 xnis impression is not ciear, out some of the delegates have made it understood that it doe? not originate with the French ambassador, M. Jus serand. 7 ' " ? I J; % M. Briand and the whole . French delegation are sitting late tonight with Gen end Nollet, president of the interallied commission, who was sum moned the French premier from "Berlin to give his views. Notwith standing the agreement the French are not entirely satisfied with today's developm ents and the idea of an ul timatum, which is believed to have been largely due to the influence of the British ambassador to Ger many, Lord D'Abernon. M. Briand was averse to delay, and it is re ported tli&t he had under taken that, failing Germany's compliance, some move should be made today. * . Indeed the' French premier had de clared bofore the meeting of the council: "I am decided upon the com mencement of new penalties from to day. i mean oy tnis tnax too neces sary order f on mobilisation will be given this evening. Such is my pdpition. I can not act otherwise." i i.
