VILLA PREPARES FOR
 ANOTHER ATTACK

Washington April 23.-State department advices today from central Mexico indi- csted that General Villa was continuing his efforts to concentrate troops at Aguas Calientes for another attack on General Obregons victorious Carranza army, re- ported to be advancing northward from the region of Irapuato.
 Villa is understood to be short of am- nutrition, particularly for his artillery. The enormous amount going to Europe is said to have made 1t difficult for him to get supplies from the United States.
 No official statement or reliable esti- mate of General Obregons losses in the battle at Celaya has been received Off, ficiala here. however, believe the Carranza troops, fighting on the defensive, suffered slightly in comparison to the coco men Villa is said to have lost.
 The state department today issued this summary of dispatches from Mexico.
 Tt Is reported In Vera Cruz that Guad- alajara has been occupied by the consti- tutionalists, and that General Obregon is still advancing north. Forces arc being sent to the front from Vera Cruz. Rail- road communication is said to be open from Vera Cruz to Pachuca and interrupt ed between Pachuca and Tula.
 Tt is stated in reports from Vera Cruz that the leader of the constitutionalist forces at Huatusco has joined the Zapa- tistas. Advices from Eagle Pass state that there is passenger traffic to Mon- terey saltillo and Torreon via Piedras Negras."

BRADSTREET'S SAYS
 BUSINESS GROWING.
General Situation Moving Into New and Higher
 Ground
New Yorl.. AprIl s-Rradstreets tomor.

New York, April 2s.-Bradstreets tomor-
 row will say:
 Trade continues to expand. progress Is of cumulative character and even con-
 cededly slow lines are evincing a more lively disposition. In fact the general situation. trade and industrial. seems to
 be moving into new and higher ground.
 Faith in the future is more firmly rooted and reports as to growing crops are fst-
 tering; remunerative prices for cereals
 have predisposed farmers to raise food crops, southern cotton growers are not so
 strong on raising less cotton; foreigners
 are buying new crop wheat freely. eel-
 lections are better; seasonable weather
 stimulates trade, wholesale. jobbing and
 retail; activity in the stock market con
 tinues although 1t Is marked by reac- tons in some of the so-caled war order leaders
 Exports are heavy. new high records at last being shown for the fiscal year Foreign demand for munitions of war
 make for extraordinary activity In cer-
 tain industrial pursuits and finally, the country apparently is making headway
 t ward gaining customers in markets in which Europe had the upper hand prior
 to the outbreak of war,
 Activity is most marked in the cereal producing parts of the west. and it is
 pf fominent in the northwest. In the
 southwest trends manifest conserN tive
 improvement. the east is swinging Into
 line, and the south, how that cotton Is at a price that allows of the partial llauda
 ton of debts feels more optimistic 0n the other hand the Pacific northwest ia still held back by low prices for lum-
 ber and on the Pacific coast business inl- proves at a slow gait, expectations not
 being fulfilled. Money is easy. Much needed rains have fallen east of the Mississippi river and the drouth, which was becoming serious in the Ollo valley, Is, at least temporarily, relieved. Rains have also benefited the winter wheat crop in the middle Atlantic states. of the entire country. Tn the section west ditions are excellent. especially in Kan sas, Oklahoma. NebrasiSa and Iowa. Spring wheat seeding is well along in the northwest.
 In Candada the wheat seeding is well completed, and an increase of 25 per cent l in area is claimed.
 | Bank clearings for the week aggregate I $5, 605. .965 000, an increase of 53 per cent over last week and two-tenths of 1 per | cent over this week last year. Business failures for the week number All, compared with 3ls in the correspond | ing week last year.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE COTTON MARKET
Heavy Realizing Marks the Week = Offerings Are
 Readily Accepted

New York. April 7s--whiie there has been heavy realizing in cotton the past week, offerings have been read fly. absorbed on reactions of little moro than s1 a bale and prices made new high seasonal records during to- days early trading with october con tracts selling at 10.9sc, while later new crop deliveries worked we'll through the 1i-cent level.
 A favorable weekly weather report and reports of good progress with crop preparations and planting served to encourage reactlonary sentiment dur ing the middle of the week and there was also heavy selling here for Iiv- orpool account This was supposed to be largely in the way of straddies and the relatively steady ruling Of old months in the face of increasing New export demand has been partly at trihuted to shifting of Liverpool short accounts to the later deliveries
 Local near month shorts have also been covering freely. experimenting z that little cotton would be rendered on May, in view of the recently prevailing later month premiums. or that such tenders would be very promptly taken by bank ing interests.
 These operations combined with the better weather and talk of improving crop prospects have resulted in some shrinking of the differences between months and talk of larger May dcliv- cries. but there has been no general or actual selling against actual. tho goods market has been active and firmer and while spot sales in south .rn markets have been smaller their quotations have been well maintained. Private advices fromSthe south have been more conflicting on acreage pros poets, Heavy rains reported in the southwest at the end of the week caused some apprehension of further delays in the new crop start and there were also reports of an increased dS- mand from domestic spinners.

PRICES EASE OFF ID
 IN NEW YORK
Session in Cotton Starts Off With an Upward
 Trend

New York. April 23.--A sharp early ad- vance carried cotton into new high ground for the season today. but prices later eased off under realizing, with the close steady at a net decline of to { points.
 Reuports of torrential rains southwest were followed by active general buying right after the opening. Liverpool was relatively easy and first prices here were somewhat irregular 3 points lower to 3 points &igher but the market immediately firmed up with active months to II points above yesterdays close before the end of the first half hour.
 Wall street and commission house buy ing was also encouraged by renewed talk of European peace possibilities, and re ports of a more active demand for spot cotton from eastern spinners yesterday, but private advices from the southwest on the effect of the heavy rainfall were conflicting and at the advance of 10.s2c for October, the market met considerable realizing. There may also have been some local selling for reaction, and while trading later was quiet, prices gradually eased off, with active months 3 to points net lower in late trading
 Small Liverpool forwardings for tho week, and a smaller decrease in the worlds visible supply of American than some of the more bullishly disposed traders had predicted. may have eneour- aged scattered selling during late trading. but offerings were quite generally attrih- uted to commission house realizing, rather than to increased pressure of actual or an increase in the short interest.

COTTON CLOSESAT LOSS AFTER A GAIN Much Realizing From Long Side Has Much Depress-
 ing Effect

New Orleans, April 2S.-After a sharp upturn today, caused by the floods in the Texas cotton belt, the force of much realizing from the long side and grad uelly lost all the gain. Late in the session disappointment was felt over the small mill takings for the week-171,000 bales-and offerings increased with the result that the market closed at a net loss of to points, practically the lowest of the session. At the best trading months were Il to 13 points over yes- terday's close.
 The market opened on excited trad ing caused by reportsxfrom Texas telling of a-rainfall as highs as 10 inches in some loca lities Private dispatches indicated that more or less damage had been done to young cotton and to recently planted fields and that further planting would be delayed. The advance was short-lived, however, as it was met by the heaviest realizing the market has experienced re- gently
