New York December 4.-The cotton market has been quiet during the past week with prices easing on under near month liquidation and a little southern hedge selling, in the absence of any az gressive support The circulation of a few December notices seemed to be chiefly responsible for the near month selling. A little cotton has been arrit- ing here from the south for delivery on contract. but no large shipments are expected at the present parity. Heaflzh talk around the ring has been based more upon predictions of increased southern offerings between nev and the first of the year. than upon any actual or immediate pressure.

LODGE ID ASSIST
 GARDNER IN PLAN Discusses Resolution for In- vestigation of Prepared
 ness of U. s. for War

Washington. December s.-(spocial) ) That Uncle Sam is spending s250 00Oo. 900 a year on the army and navy and the people ought to know what they are getting for their money Is an argument used by Sem ator Lodge in indorsing Representative Gardner's resolution for an investigation of the preparedness of the United States for possible war. Also at the risk of hav- ing this movement characterized as a family affair."" the Massachusetts sem ator, who is the father-in-law of Gard ner, proposes to introduce the resolution in the Senate.
 Senator Lodge expresses doubt as to the Presidents opposition to the movement, and declares that 1t Is not partisan one. strong pressure will prevent tremendous number of democrats supporting the reso- lution. The war in Europe with the con stant alarming stories, true or untrue. re- sarding the military situation of the United States, has been productive of get ting on the nerves of many members of the House and Senate. In statement to- day Senator Lodge spoke as follows:
 q intend to introduce in the Senate a resolution similar to that offered by Mr. Gardner in the House, calling for com mission to investigate and report upon the condition of our national defenses
 This does not commit us to any expen- ditures of any kind or to any policy. Ii Is merely resolution of inquiry. which l think ought to be adopted by both houses and approved by the President. It seems to me that the country ought to know just what the condition of the national defense is at the present moment. We are at peace with all the nations of the world. and I fully believe we shall remain at peace with them all Our policy is simply one of maintaining a strict and honest neutrality. But the great nations of the earth are at war and we are living in the midst of an armed and fighting world Under these circumstances it is well tc know what the state of our own defenses is.'

NORMAL STATUS IS AGAIN REACHED IN FINANCIAL WORLD New York Clearing House Certificates Had All Been Withdrawn Nov. 30 COMPARISON WITH
 SITUATION OF 1893 When George Westinghouse Was Un- able to Get $4O,OO0 on Half a Million of Highest Grade
 Securities
 
By HOLLAND

New York, December 4.-(special)-on the last day of November, not one of the certificates which were issued by the New York Clearing House association in the four months following the closing of the New York Stock exchange remained out standing. Every one had been cancelled or withdrawn. The banks which have from time to time since about mid October been each day liquidating certificates taken out by them have been receiving in return various securities, much of it high grade commercial paper. In other parts of the country the complete withdrawal of clearing house certificates has been ac- complished at various times. principally nince November 1.
 In the financial district, one interpreta- tfon of this elimination of loan certifi cates issued by the New York Clearing House association Is regarded as of real importance to the country. There might

NEW MILITIA ACT
 IS WORKING WELL
A. B. Bassett, IT,, Chief of Naval Militia Bureau,
 Makes Report

Washineton December 1.-The new mil itia act is working well, even though it has been in operation for a short pe- riod. according to Commander A. B. Bas- sett. Jr., chief of the naval militia bureau, in his annual report today. On the whole the naval militia. he says, increased in numbers during the past year, for while several divisions were disbanded, mum her were organized. and the increase is expected to be even more marked during the coming year owing to the enthusiasm and interest aroused by the passage of the act.
 Inspectors' reports showed that the naval militia, with the exception of two divisions of South Carolina, were quali- fled to participate in the allotment of federal funds Several organizations are top heavy with officers and in many cases the rank of the officers Is too high.
 Report Difficult
 Because of the difficulty in getting re- turns from naval militia officers, busy with their own affairs. considerable gov ernment property is not properly account ed for. and Commander Bassett recom- mends that at least one coinpeeehe seo- man be assigned to a naval militia ves- sel to asst in this clerical work. He rec ommends also that some of the old bat tleships now in reserve be assigned to a naval militia of certain states; the re- serve officers and men on thes ships to remain on board while they are also oc- cupied by the militia. The plan is for the Illinois to be taken to Brooklyn for use by the Second battalion of the New York militia; the Maine to New York for the use of the First battalion of the New Jersey militia and the First battalion of the New York militia; the Alabama to be taken to Boston for the use of the Massachusetts naval militia, and the Kentucky to be moored in the Delaware river for the use of the Second battalion, New Jersey naval militia, and the First ba ttalion. Philadelphia militia.
 Personnel Commended While several adverse comments on the personnel of the naval militia were re- ceived from officers of the regular navy, in whose ships the militia cruised in gen. eral the personnel was commended for it's intelligence, aptitude and efficiency. The necessity of having an officer of the navy make the cruises with the naval militia on vessels loaned to the states is strongly emphasized.

be placarded appropriately in the halls oi the clearing house building a legend an pouncing that financial conditions in ths Tinted States are now almost normal For there would still remain outstanding clearing house loan certificates if there were any need of them. Coupled as this action is with the return to the United States treasury of much of the emer' gency currency and also coupled witt the decision of the federal reserve board at Washington to withdraw the recon mendation to Congress that it permit ar increase in the amount of emergency cur. rency that may be issued to banks upor the security of commercial paper, there is furnished emphatic and convincing proof that financial conditions in ths United States are now practically nor mal
 A condition of this kind must inevitably in view of the great increase of our for eign trade, be followed speedily by evi' dences of the resumption of domestic busi' nes activity. That seems to be substan tially the unanimous opinion of the lead CTS in the financial district and of leaders also in other financial centers of tht United States.
 Again the experience of the Clearing House association in a time of great emer' gency proves the unquestioned value ol high-grade commercial paper as SC curity for loans. Probably earlier expe riences of the New York as well as O other clearing house associations served to impress those who were drafting wha is now the federal reserve banking law with a good understanding of the funda mentally important relation of commercial parcr which represents actual value t' any ell-perfected American banking sys tenn.
 A Test of Confidence
 In the past, liquidation of loan certifi cates issued by clearing house associa tions has been looked upon as an infal lible test of the return of confidence. This perhaps, was better illustrated in 1S9 than at any other time. On account o various demoralizing influences, amoni them the failure of Barring Bros. of Lon don, there had come a worldwide shat tering of credit. Confidence was impaired This so greatly affected the United State that there were constant and heavy with drawels of gold from the federal treas ury Limitations came from Washington in the spring of 1893, that possibly tn government might be compelled to pay al Its obligations in silver.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York. December 4.--Investment conditions were more promising today. This was demonstrated by the ready sale of the SIP. 100000 worth of Canadian Pa- cific railway AZ per cent trust certificates offered by a banking syndicate. There was also a further extension of the in- quiry for various short-term notes, in- cluding New York city 6s which retained their recent advantage.
 Monetary conditions were again an in- fiuential factor, the relaxation of rates in 30 and 60-day loans being most ap- parent. There was an even larger SUD- ply of call money at 3i1 per cent, and most time renewals were reduced to per cent, this figure being scaled on prime collateral This phase of the financial situation gave rise to renewed rumors of foreign loans by our bankers, as well as the probability of considerable home financing. It was known that number of domestic corporations were about to enter the market for funds to meet matur- ing obligations and the approach of the new year was expected to witness many operations of this character.

A few changes. mainly in the direction of improvement were seen in the lists of stock prices issued by the exchange Peoples Gas of Chicago gained 3 points and St. Paul 1h. with fractional advances in Pennsylvania and Union Pacific.
 Trading in bonds was marked by more narrowness and smaller offerings, with an irregular mixture of gains and losses the latter being more pronounced in rela- lively unknown issues. Gains extended generally from l to points. Virginia debt certificates rose g points.
 Foreign exchange played less than it's usual part in the days business, bills and drafts on London being in light request Marks, however, lost little of their recent strength, the advance again being ascribed to German sales of our bonds In this market.
 One of the largest railroads placed an order for rails. Other contracts for like materials are said to be pending. Pitts burg and other steel centers reported an increase of operations and the textile mar kets also made an improved showing on increased iobbing demand
 Private London cables hinted at hitch in the proposed reopening of that ex- change, with a resultant depressing ef- feet on speculative sentiment.
