Sudden Falling Off in
Coal Trade Hard to
I Explain.
RETAILERS IN MARKET
Majority of Outof-town Pur-
chasers Buy for Imme-
diate Needs.

• Light.
Chicago March 11.— Business is so
distinctly better in nearly every line
in tbe Saddle West that it is difficult
to explain the sudden falling off in the
coal trade. Industries have ceased
stocking up in preparation for a pos-
sible strike mauufaetnrers being ap-
parently confident that if a strike comes
it will be of sheet duration. few
plants have more than 60 to VO days'
supply on hand aud consumers believe
the price will be lower. .
This is. merchants’ buying week nere
aud retailers from many states are in
the market for dry goods and accessor-
ies. The majority arc buying for im-
mediate delivery. Dry goods jobbers
are receiving encouraging reports from
their men on the road. They attribute
better demand to the improvement in
the price of grain aud hogs.
Tho steel industry in this section is
increasing output and demand for steel
products continues heavy. The United
States Steel Corporation has blown in
two more blast furnaces at Gary and
South Chicago and that company and
the leading independents now are oper-
ating at 60 per cent of capacity. Rail-
roads are buying track material and cur
orders arc numerous.
JOBBERS MAKE PROUT.
Business in New* Orleans Shows Great
Improvement.
By I. V. SHANNON.
Special Correspondent of Tho. San Antonio
Light.
New Orleans Iji. March 11.—Jub-
bers in ^very line are feeling the stimu-
lus of spring business in this section.
For the first time in over a year
lbey are reporting a profit on sales for
the month. Business in the last 3U
days increased from 5 to 25 per cent
over th^ previous months tbi great-
est gains bein; in dry goods and no-
tionM and thb smallest in drugs und
food products. Wholesalers in the coun-
try districts are claiming gains in bus-
iness of from 10 to 20 per cent.
Retailers continue to buy conserva-
tively. but their stocks are low and
distributors anticipate a steady con-
tinued demand from them. Wholesale
stocks also are low and in need of con-
stant replenishment. Kcal estate Is
more active and sales are growing from
week to week’. Building permits issued
(or small residences continue to show
steady gains. Reduction of freight
rates pn oil and erection of additional
refineries which have been planned
will add to the importance of this port
as a factor in export trade making it
one of the most important in this
country.
The cold weather in the last week has
injured the spring crop of vegetables in
this section and shipments will be three
weeks lair than was'anticipated. Tbe
loss to growers was about half a mil
lion dollars.

spring and summer.

have fallen off in comparison with the
production in 1020 but the number of

of Justice S. West uf Topeka today
were discussing an address the justice
made here yesterday before the Ki-

morals of the country.
Justice West took the view that the
nation is not going to “the bow-wows’
and that it *is not going to be sub-
merged in sin and inniuiiy because uf
present day fashions and jazz music.
“Conditions have changed” Justice
West said “but are no worse than iu
the time when mixed groups would
not talk of trees because they base
limbs and young women would not
change their minds without retiring lu
another room.
‘‘lnsomnia is much worse than other
complaints for which patent medicines
are made and it does not pay to lose
sleep over jazz music. Some wonder
fui women have raised tbe girls ot to
day and I think these girls will be
credits to both generations.”

tagu in speaking before the Liberal
Chib at Cambridge his constituency
today justified the policy he had pur-
sued as secretary of state for India
and declared the doctrine of “cabinet
solidarity” invoked in connection with
his resignation Thursday had never
been the ruling code in the Lloyd-
George cabinet.
“My disappearance” said Mr. Mon-
tague. “has nothing to <io with the
doctrine of collective responsibility it
it an effort to preserve this go ’ i
ment from the fnte that must attend it.
Government Near Collapse.

“Conservatives also have a lot to

complete lack of political sagacity.
They are the most dangerous element
in the political life of this. country
and to them the great genids prodd-
ing over the country’s destinies has
given mv head on a charger.”
Mr. Montagu said he had never been
able to understand tho motive for the
prime minister’s pro-Greck pol’cy. “I
do not think it is in the interests
of the (hecks.” he declared “and I
a)n certain it is calamitous to tho Brit-
ish Empire.

rounding the publication of the Indian
government’s telegram setting forth tbe
Indian inoslem attitude tdowards Tur-
key. Mr. Montagu said he had submit-
ted the telegram to members of the cabi-
net last Friday week. On Monday last
he continued there had been a cabinet
meeting at which he told I.ord Cur-
zon the secretary for foreign affairs
that on Saturday he (Montagu) had
authorized the publication of the tcle-
grann
If Lor£ Curzon bad desired Mr.
Montagu declared he could have le-
bumed his seat in the cabinet which
was frt.lt in session he could have urged
his colleagues to object to the publi-
cation. There was ample time to tend

.said but instead of doing this. Lori
•Curzon maintained silence and that
evening wrote him “one of those plaint-

Lord Curzon’s colleagues and friends.
Mr. Montagu said be was convinced
bis policy tor the development of In-
dia. was “the right and the only poli-
cy.” Up continued:
Smiles at Reason Given.
“The official reason given for my
resignation was that I by publishing
the Indian government a telegram out-
raged the doctrine of collective cabinet
responsibility. I cannot help smiling.”
He asserted there had beciv an ab-
solute disappearance of*the doctrine of
cabinet solidarity ever since Mr. Lloyd-
George ha i formed bis government.
As for the government’s Indian poll
cy. Mr. Montagu declared he d.d »' t
believe his resignation meant any a’.tc -
at ion in that policy.
Mr. Lloyd-George like a wizard had
brought forth from the locked cupboard
the skeleton of solidarity and made Mr.
Montagu Lis victim said the speaker
who added that the coutnry would wel-
come a manifesto that the premier was
going to nd urn to th^ doctrine of cab-
inet responsibility. \
Nituatioq in Ind’a Grave.
The government’s middle cart policy
continued Mr. Montagu had brought
about a position of the gravest char-
acter in India. The Mus-ulmans were
entitled to know of the efforts made in
their behalf by the government ami the
British public was also entitled to know
what the Indian government thought
on this important question Lord Read-
ding the viceroy of India was not a
child in public affairs and Mr. Mon-'
tagu'bad considered it his duty to sup-
port the viceroy.
Mr. Montagu told the meeting that
if. as the result of what he was say-
ing “and you wish it my resignation as
your number is in your hands.”
To this the audience shouted “No!”
If the government declared Mr. Mon-
tagu had made public tbe message be
sent to India authorizing publication of
the Indian telegram it would have been
made clear to tbe world that he recog-
nized that the government Lad to con
sider wider interests than in India.

trous effects of his own pqlicy upon In-
dia continued the speaker who added:
Policy cf Missed Opportunities.
“It was a policy of missed opportuni-
ties and bundled undertakings.”.
Mr. Montagu declared he had worked
and hoped and waited for the best in
India. He bad often been upon the
verge of resignation but had hesitated
iu order that the Indian Mohammedans
should not think tbe solemn pledges
made to them had been irretrievably
broken. He urged the Indian^ to be-
lieve that the government's anger with
him would not involve disregard of their
views. There was still hope and be
begged them to exercise patience.
Montagu declared that Mr. Lloyl-
George ia order to get tbe support for
which Ird Birkenhead had pleach'd
had presented the Unionist “die-hards”
with Ills (Montagu's) head upon a
charger.
