Vague Rumors of Peace.

In banking circles, now that the diff
fculty with Germany seems in way
to be cleared up, and trouble in Mex
leo appears less imminent, more atten-
tion is being paid to vague rumors Of
the possibility of peace in Europe. At
least once before such reports were
shown to have some basis in overtures
by Germany. General business has
been decidedly slow to reflect a gain
from war orders. Industrial lines are
generally dull, save as, directly or
Indirectly, European contracts have
speeded production. SO sudden end
ing Of the war might mean difficult
period Of readjustment. While il is
argued that there is left too much I'M
settled to allow Of an ending Of hos
tilities as things are, it is not safe in
these times to count or improbability.
As one fnancier put it, after long
years Of peace il seems a simple thing
to settle the problems of the world
for generations to como. When war
has taken its toll of men and money
weary peoples are often willing to let
the future answer its own questions
if only for the present peace can be
obtained

COTTON RISES,
GAINING HEAVILY
Market Shows Renewed Activ-
ity, Recovering Most of
MONDAYS Loss.

The cotton market showed renewed
activity and frmness yesterday, recov-
ering the greater part Of Mondays re-
action, and closing firm at a net ad-
vance Of from 10 TO % points. Reports
of unseasonably low temperatures in
the South tended to increase confidence
in the smaller estimates Of the yield,
and II looked as II many Of MONDAYS
sellers were covering or replacing their
cotton. At any rate, December con-
tracts sold up to 1920, or "a points
above Mondays closing figure, and
within 10 points OF the highest level
reached before the publication of the
governments crop report proved the
signal for general realizing.
Relatively steady cables were fol-
lowed by an opening advance Of from 8
TO points in the market here. There
we're overnight selling orders around
the ring, which caused some Irregular
ity right after the call, but the offer
ings were very we'll taken with further
indications of a broadening outside in
terest and the market soon developed
increasing activity, with prices selling
upward on Wall Street and commission
house buying. Spot houses with South
ern connections had some selling orders,
which led to further talk of hedging,
but trade interests were also buyers,
and people around the ring thought
that the demand was of a fairly good
character on the advance which carried
the active months % to "a points net
higher. The close was slightly off from
the best under realizing.
Rumors that foreign governments had
buying orders in domestic markets were
circulating in some detail during the
day, one story being that an order from
such a source called for the delivery
at stated intervals during the season
of fully 100000 bales. Such reports
were not generally credited in local spot
circles, where they were considered as
growing from the talk of possible meas
ures to Offset the Allied contraband
declaration, and the continued weakness
Of sterling exchange was again men
toned as an obstacle to a normal ex-
port trade It was said in this connec-
| ton, however, that some of the South
ern shippers were granting credits TO
| European clients, and storing the cot
ton purchased in the South while wait
ing for more settled shipping condi-
tons, and official reports from Southern
spot markets showed a fair volume OF
business for the day, with prices un-
changed to 10 points higher, the max
imum advance being at Houston, which
was relatively easy on Monday. The
low temperatures in the South were
accompanied by predictions for warmer
weather in Texas, but were regarded
as likely to check the development of
the crop thus rendering il more sus-
ceptible TO damage in case of an early
frost, and also delaying the movement.
The first ginning report of the season.
giving the amount Of cotton ginned up
to September l, is scheduled for publ
cation on Wednesday of next week, and
owing TO the recent unsettled weather
is expected TO make rather bullish
showing. Exports for the day were
2,579 bales, making 158,015 so far this
season.
