PARIS, December 6th.

A message from Washington states that the question of reduction of the French" and Italian fleets' will probably come up this week. The French claim for a total tonnage of three hundred thousand tons. seventy-five thousand tons of which is to be in submarines, seems unlikely to meet with fundamental objections, at least as regarda big ships, as far as can be judged from opinions of the delegations semi- officially consulted by. Mr. Hughes who to-day favourably assured M. Jusserand on the point.

LONDON, December 6th.

The irritation-evidenced in sections of the Press and public in America over the delay in waiting for Tokio's reply is in no way shared in official circles which are profiting by the lull to make pro gress in drafting. The lull has also given an opportunity for the crystallation of views which, when sifted, seem to de note an excellent cutlook for complete naval agreement. Italy will support the British position regarding submarines and America is moving sensibly towards it, partly as result of the pressure of public opinion, while France shows no signs of being unreasonable. Though the complete abolition of submarines is not looked for, a substantial step thence is possible. Progrese as regards land arma- Fire minutes. ...& contements is unlikely to go beyond a polite

VOYAGE

The advancing movement of cotton prices which set in on the publication of the Census Bureau's ginning figures at the end of last week was of very short duration and since then quota- tions have again been unsettled and wesker. With the general outlook continuing very unsatisfactory and much disappointment owing to the slight improvement in business having

steadily as was anticipated, the markets have been dull and heavy. There is much speculation as to the possibilit'es of supply and demand for the present season, but in spite of statements to the effect that little cotton will be available at the end of the season, sentiment has been totally unaffected. Liquidation has been fairly heavy and there is no doubt that support from consuming ceri res is what is needed to give any semb.. lance of strength to the position. Spinners, however, for the present at least, appear to be sufficiently covered to cause their withdrawal from the market on any advance. Last week's statistics shew that the actual distribution of cotton to the world's spinnere is well above last year; the total takings up to date being more than one million bales over those of 1920. The largest increase is to American Spinners, whose takings have been 1,544,000 bales against 984,000 last year. Whilst there has been a fair enquiry' in sections the aggregate demand for both yarn and cloth has again been wall below the average for recent weeks. A few good lines, principally of whites, appear to have been placed, but generally there has been very little response to offers from our market. A moderate amount of business appears to be held in suspense owing to the weaker ten- dency of cotton and there is little doubt that if an improvement in the general outlook should take place and tha stability of values be more assured, this would come forward. The lull in buying has again placed many spinners and manufacturers in a weak position as their engagements are rapidly running out. Prices are slightly lower. Exquiry for China has been fair and occasional sales have resulted. India has done little beyond few greys. There has been a mis- cellaneous enquiry from the smaller outlets.

HALF-MARRIED.

ANOTHER WOMAN'S NAME ON THE LICENCE.

To go half-way through her mar- riage ceremony before, it was dis- covered that she was not the woman named on the marriage licenco is the experience which befell a pretty bride in a London register office.

The bridegroom had taken out a licence to marry a widowed relative of bers, but, it stated two days before they were to have been married the engagement was broken off. As the other girl was willing to marry him, he arrived at the register office for the ceremony with the old Lcence. Nothing was said to the ra gistrar about the change and the Ceremony proceeded

When the registrar came to the girl's Christian names, she declared that some mistake bad been made as to her name, also she was not s Widow.

The registrar stopped the ceremony and asked the bridegroom for an ex- planation, whereupon he said intended to marry relative of hers, but as the engagement has broken off I thought that, the licenco was good in any case, and that you could alter the names

He was told that another licence would be required and another two
