Vital Financial Features.

There being apparently no prospect
that the situation with regard to ex-
cessve money reserves in the banking
institutions is to change in this re-
spect, prominent bankers have set
themselves to devising some other
method for remedying this situation.
1t has been proposed that instead of a
gradual retirement of the government
currency known as 'greenbacks." as
provided by the federal reserve act
these bills be retired at once. There
are now about $346.00O.OO of these
bills in circulation. and financial eX-
perts are agreed that this is the time
to reduce the elasticity of the currency
and thus accommodate the volume of
money to the variable demands of the
be depended upon to meet the needs of
our expanding currency, should this be
developed later on.
The tremendous increase in Ameri-
can wealth may be seen in the manner
in which our investors have absorbed
the American securities which foreign
holders have been selling steadily for
more than a year. Real wealth in the
form of agricultural produce and man.
ufactures has been created so fast and
so abundantly that the country as
whole is paying for these securities in
with a dollar in cash. Whether the
foreign liquidation will be checked by
the extraordinary plan of the British
government to buy or borrow high
class American securities held in the
United Kingdom for the purpose of
borrowing or otherwise securing
money in New York remains to be
seen. but no serious depression in stock
prices is now in sight.

Europe Making Plans.

With regard to the situation in Eu
rope, it is to be noted that already the
entente allies, as well as their Teutonic
opponents. are preparing to secure
themselves against foreign competition
by the imposing of excessive and eff
fective tariff duties. 1t is not yet
known to what extent these tariff walls
will affect the United States, but if the
statement of the French commission
which visited this country a few months
ago is to be credited France will very
largely depend upon the United States
for the materials necessary to rebuild
her ruined industries.
1t is not unlikely that Russia, and to
more limited extent Germany, will
md themselves in the same position. in
which case we shall not be compelled to
face competition in the selling of our
commodities, but will find demand for
American products much larger than
our capacity to produce. Should such
condition confront us. we should of
course be compelled to discriminate be-
tween what is permanent and what is
temporary in world trade, and to de-
vote our energies to the development
of permanent markets for American

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. January 2s-The cotton
market showed continued nervousness
today. but rallies followed rather a
sharp early break. with July contracts
selling UP from 12.17 to 1923. and clos
ing at 1927. The general list closed
steady at a net loss of to 10 points.
Instead of meeting yesterdays local
advance, Liverpool was weak and low
decline Of II to Is points. There was
some trade buying around the initial
figures as well as further covering for
over the week end, but New Orleans
renewed pressure from Wall street and
local sources. with Indications that
some of yesterdays buyers for rally
were throwing over their cotton. At
any rate prices eased off a little further
with March contracts selling down TO
11.S1, May to 1905 and October to 1918
during the middle of the morning, or
about Is to Is points net lower. This
carried the market back to within
or points of the lowest level reacn-
ed on the opening break of yesterday,
and business then seemed to taper off.
Offerings. at least, became lighter and
prices rallied some 10 or IL points
from the lowest on covering of shorts
and trade buying. There were reiter-
ated rumors that trade interests hau

for execution on declines. and some
think that spnners who are doing an
at attractive prices can see a good
profit above the present quotations for
contracts, with the result that they
are, in some cases. hedging against
their requirements. There was little
or no change In the general character
of spot news from the south. Private
cables attributed the decline in Liver
pool to reselling by yesterdays buyers
in a narrow market and sales made on
orders from the continent and Man
