WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Continual Selling Pressure Keeps Prices Down Whenever Strength is ShOwn-ClOse at Net Loss Fl to 26 Points.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 27.-The under almost continual selling pres sure as the result of unfavorable sen timent created by international poli- tics. At it's best the market stood only 9 to II points over the preceding weeks final quotations. At it's low est it was 30 to 37 points under. The close was at q net loss of 21 to 26 points.
 Bullish traders pointed out that the market had undergone long de- cline during which large short in terest had been built up and at the same time brought forth figures to show that cotton mills were doing an unprecedented business at very high prices. But every time the market showed strength unfavorable com ment regarding the relations between Germany and this country hal their effect
 Thursday was first notice day for the March option and the very small amount of cotton tendered-only 1000 bales in this market-stimulated buy ing for a short period.
 This week the question of subma rine warfare promises to furnish the dominating influence. Any unfavor- able turn in the matter probably will lead to important fresh selling. Un- certainty and continued controversy also probably would have an unfavor- able effect.

GOLD INFLUX HELPS
RAISE LIVING COST

Washington, Oct. 21.-Director Eng
leken of the mint says that one of the
causes of the recent advances in the
cost of living is the great influx OF
gold coming to the United States and
now being coined into American
money
The unprecedented export trade,
which had widened the field for en-
ployment and created an abnormal de-
mand for goods, he considers an i'm
portant factor
There is such a vast demand for
goods" said the director, that prices
rise responsively. More workers than
heretofore are employed, and they are
getting larger wages, although wages
have not fully kept pace with prices.
The United States normally is Dor.
rowing nation.
"The sudden reversal of this con
dition, retention of interest payments
at home, coupled with reversal OF
the usual trade conditions, presents an
extraordinary economic problem"

MILK UNNECESSARY

New York, Oct. 21.-Denouncing the
pasteurization of milk as unnecessary,
Deputy Attorney General Merton +.
Lewis declared at the resumption of
the state milk inquiry here that pas
teurization imposes great burdens
on consumers and places the milk
situation in the hands OF a few men
whereby they can fix the price OF milk
TO the farmer and the consumer"
BY expert medical opinion, Mr.. Lew
is said, it would be proved that pas
teurization does not tend TO reduce the
infantile death rate.
1T merely prevents souring" he
said. "and this furnishes the con.
trolling reason, enabling the milk
companies to carry milk over and
avoid financial loss"
