New York, Nov. 20.-Pricos were higher In the cotton market through out this last week, although the early session brought ontly small and hesi tating gains. In the latter trading the market nwas firmer and at the highest the trading months 'were 91 to 105 points over the close of the preceding week, 'December rising as high as 16.36. On the close prices were 82 to 90 points up net, with De cemler at 16.31. In the spot depart ment middling gained 25 points In the net results, closing at 16.50 cents a pound, against 16.25 a year ago. Covering by shorts furnished the greater part of -the demand of the week, and it was stimulated by the hope of constructive events as the result of the international conference at Washington, the continued easi ness of money, smaller spot offerings in the Interior and the conttued very large mill takings. Buying for long account apipeared to .be along very -moderate lines. At times trade buying was important. To seme extent business was re stricted by the nearness of the cen 1us bureau's fifth Finning report of, the season. Atfirt oinoe little aoll Ing was encouraged by exlpectAtiol19 entertained regarding this report, bit later on the disposition was to buy because of a private bureau estimate that at the middle of November the crop was 98.8 per cent picked. 'lThe ostimate from private sources that attracted most attention placed gin aing to November 14 at 7,291,000 bales, pnd 'for a iwhile this was -uted as an a,'gumejt that the total crop, in the final ginning reaport of the season, not due until March 20, would be ap proxlnately 8,000,000 bales.

Ahough much work was done, the calendar -was not nearly cleared and local attorneys are con sidering asking for a special term. Among the cases that did not coma up was that of a group of local and Spar tanburg holders of Second I1'referred Stock of the 'Watts Mills against the Watts Wlills, in which the stockholders are seeking to force the defendant cor poration to retire the stock, alleged to have -been ij)ayable in M\ay of this year. In the case of John 11. .Milan and daughters vs C. 'F. Lokey and in the counter-suit of the latter against the former, which was being heard when this paper went to press last, verdicts in both cases were rendered in favor of Mr. -Lokey. It will be remembered that these suits grew out of an auto mobile collision between the parties last winter. In another automobile case, growing out of a collision between M. F. Sum-. crel and Guy C. Pitts 'between Laurens and Clinton several months ago, the jury was unable to agree and a mis ti;aI'Was qrdered, In the case of the M1aryland Casual fy (Coha0ahy vs A. L.

Aahaffey's truck broke the Wilkes plate glass last year, the jury returned a verdict for Mr. Ma haffey. In the case of G.F. Benjamin vs Mrs. 'M. A. Ilays, of Clinton, for $590, .in volving a settlement for the erection of a residence for 'i.rs. Hays by the plaintiff, the jury awarded the plain tiff $100. In the case of .1. P. and Anna Holp kins against W. 1,. Vaughn, in which the plaintiffs were asking $3,000 dam ages for the failure of the defendant to carry out the terms of a land deal, a verdict was rendered for Afr. Vaughn. On argument iby the plaintiff's attor ney, however, the presiding judge set the verdict aside and ordered a new trial. 'Plaintiffs did not ask that the contrac ..be carried out, but that MIr. Vaughn be compellod to pay for cer tain losses alleged to have been sus tained by the changes In plans which came about as a result of the deal.

Germanuy .1tll Prepar ing. Washington, Nov. 21.-In an cino tional plea for national security pro nlounced by Aristide Briand, present premnier, France informed the arms conference today that however deeply she might be moved by the call to lighten the burden of armament, she dares not destroy the effectiveness of her army so long as the situation in Europe remains what it is. Summoning to the effort all the dynamic force of his eloquence, the "strong man of France" held the *vrapt attention of the conference for an hour as he recunted one by one the perils that beset his people. Briefly, he declared. the old imperialistic barty of Germany still Was covert!y teach ing the religion of war and hoping to turn to its advantage at the -very door of France 7,000,000 of men train ed in the use of arms, while beyond lay 1Bolshevik Russia, with her mil lions stirring in an unrest whose final course no one could predict. By one neins or another, said M. irIand, Germany had brought under arms and was maintaining in a bta'te of instant preparedness at least .250, 000 men. War material, he declared, Would Dot long furnish a serious prob lem, for the German nation should it decide to again make war. The pres ent Gerian government lie credited with the most pacific of intentions, but ihe 'weakness of its tenure, he assert ed, was apparent to any one who had watched close at hand the develop ments of the last few months. When the French premier had con cluded Arthur J. Balfour responded for Great Britain -with a virtual pledge of British support should the civilization of Europe again be thireatened as it was in 1914. For the United States Secretary Hughes declared the plea of France never fell on deaf ears in America and Italy and Belgium 4dded their work of appreciation for the pe culiar situation of the Rrench. Admiral Baron Kato, speaking in his turn, expressed the profound sym -pathy of Japan for the declarations pf Premier Briand and asserted' that for themselves the Jalpanese desired to maintain1 on landl only such military forces as seemed "necessary for na tional security and the maintenance of order within." .Both Mr. 'Balfour and (Baron Kato Auggested that the day's developments seemed to indicate that any 'limita tion of land armament would be dif flcult to establish, and although the subject .was referred to a committee of the whole for future consideration, there 'was apparently no inclination to hasten the discussion of details. It would not surprise some of the dele gates if the -whole land armament ne gotiations simmered (Iowa to an effort merely to agree on a general statement of policy. fletailedl .fgures on the present and proposed military strength of France were not included in Premier Bria.nd's address to the conference, but tonight he explained that his allusions to i contemplated reductions forecast a future strength of 376,000 regular6 as -against 500,000 now under arms. This would be accomplihed, he aid, iby kediping only one and a half classes in training, whereas at present there are two full classes and the existing Slaw authorized three. "If any one asks us to go further," t.,said the premier in concluding his ad I dress, "I sliall have to answer clearly and gefinitely that It will be impossi I 'ble for us to do lit 'without exposing 3 ourselves to a most serid'us danger." - Mr. J.ob, L~ttle, of -Colrinbia, spent f several days iti the city last week with |his mother, Mrs. A~ 1tei 'tttle.
