COTTON FIRMS UP.
CLOSING HIGHER
Increasing Spot Demand and
Poorer Crop Prospects, with
Shorts Covering, Help Prices.

The cotton market showed increased
frmness yesterday, with trade more
active and general than for some time,
and with the close firm, at a net adj
vance Of II to 10 points. October con-
tracts sold at 9.32c in the late trad
ing, or within 18 points OF the high
record for the season, and active
months generally showed advances OF
about half n cent from the low level
reached on the break of last Monday.
Reports of a more active spot demand
in the Southern markets, the continued
absence Of anything like general hedge
selling, and bullish view Of new crop
prospects, combined with increasing
confidence in the larger estimates OF
European consumption under war con-
ditions, appeared to be responsible for
the advance.
Cables were better than due, and the
market here opened at an advance OF
9 to 3 points. This made a consider
able rally from the low point OF
Thursday, and there was enough real
ling to cause some little irregularity
right after the call. Offerings, how
ever, were readily absorbed, and there
seemed to be very little cotton for sale
on the advance, which carried the ac-
tive months Is to II points net higher.
Closing prices were practically the
best Of the day.
Southern spot markets were I'M
changed to Is points higher, and the
local spot market advanced 10 points
10 S.75c for middling upland; no sales.

Steel Sentiment Better.

Good news is better than no news.
even II the proportion of good to bad
is only as 81 to AZ. 1t is something
better than that in the steel trade,
though the improvement recently re-
ported has seemed to be more in sem
tjment than in actual business booked.
Prices. however, have been advanced,
and Mr. Schwab's cheerful statement
YESTERDAY helped to make things
brighter. There is more activity IN
structural steel, and it is said in the
trade that some large orders for eX-
port are under negotiation.

Dutch Rock Island Holdings.

Last year at this time, when news
developments with regard to Rock ISL
and were coming thick and fast, there
we're many circumstantial reports that
Dutch and Belgian investors, disheart-
ened, were clearing out their holdings
Of the Rock Island company stock and
the railroad company collateral bonds.
Apparently they were too confident.
There may have been wholesale liqui-
cation Of the stocks, but the bonds
seemed TO have stuck. At least it is
dHeult to find any other explanation
Of the fact that the new appointee to
the railway protective committee is
said 10 represent Dutch stock holdings
amounting TO $4,000 shares, or II per
cent Of the total number.

Pilin4 I'm the Debts.

In the two months reported of the
new year by the British Board OF
Trade imports Of the United Kingdom
have aggregated s132, 669,006, against
sl3O,O55, 753 in the corresponding period
Of 1914, and exports f54, 423,592,
against s89.067, 962-that is, for the
Two months the United Kingdom has an
adverse balance of trade greater by
s87,257,623 than the debit balance Of
last year. In that short space Of eight
weeks there has piled up debt on bal
snee as large as the credit balance this
country knows in a full year. A debit
balance that runs along at the rate OF
roughly $48,OO0,OO0 a week makes 1t
easy TO understand why there should
be talk Of England establishing credits
20 protect her exchange.

"RaiIroads Saved bv War"

In the weekly letter Of J. s. Bache
( Co. under the caption "The War
Saved the Railroads" there occurs the
following: The turn for the better
came only as q result of the war, when
me acute condition Of the railroads
was brought forcibly to the attention
Of the President and the Interstate
Commerce Commission. After some de-
lay a part Of the per cent increase
was granted 20 the Eastern roads, and
the attitude Of the commission toward
the railroads changed quite markedly;
II there had been no war there would
have been no increase in railway rates,
at least for long time, and the coun,,
try undoubtedly would have continued
lis course toward much worse times:
The interview Of the railroad presi-
dents with President Wilson, says the
review, helped to arouse the country:
The people q. last became aware OF

Italy 10 Have a Credit.

There is likely to be established
credit here for Italy before long: The
Italian government has commission
in this country buying horses, saddles
and other war supplies, and Ira ex-
change is making it pretty costly to
pay for them. Yesterday Ira checks
were quoted at $50, though normally
lire are only little cheaper than
francs, and so should be selling at
something like $50 TO the dollar. 1t
is rare opportunity to buy Raphaels
and genuine Italian spaghetti, with
every II cents of American money
counting for as much in the Italian
market IS l9 usually do.
