Cotton

Cotton scored further advance OF
the early trading yesterday on re-
sumption Of the buying movement
which set in Thursday July contracts
were carried up to 2O47 for an advance
of - points. offerings then IN
creased, and that delivery broke 80
points from the best, selling of to
1897 and closing at 20.O5. The gen
eral list closed irregular at net de-
clines Of to 90 points. Uncertainty
as 10 just what economic measures
might be adopted by the government
in the prosecution of the war appeared
to be largely responsible for the un-
settled sentiment noted around the
ring. In addition 10 that. liquidation
was fastened by the appearance Of old
crop selling orders in the hands Of
spot house brokers, which naturally
led to rumors OF free offerings in the
South.
Higher marine war risks on coast
wise shipments attracted some atten-
ton. There were further reports from
the Southwest claiming that rainfall
had been insufficient. and further rains
were reported East of the River with
prospects for clearing weather. South
ern spot markets were p points high-
err to 90 points lower Exports for the
week amounted to 81 ,2J9 bales, against
1852 for the same week last year.

The Investor

Mail a careful analysis of some phase Of
one of the many financial problems which
have been created by our declaration OF

great Importance to the investor.
The money which will be spent by this
country must come, Of course, from the
investor.
1t will soon be an individual problem,
with each investor, as to how best he can
help his country and at the same time
safeguard his resources.
Everyone will be asked, shortly, to
buy government bonds The individual
then will be anxious to secure details.
You can familiarize yourself with the SIT

Post sees danger that this sentiment
may drive the President into action in
furious to the interests of the Allies
There is danger of an attempt" 1t
says, ito interfere with the means the
Allies are using to attain their end. Such
an attempt might lead to most unhap D.
py situation. For neutrals to renounce
the custom of supplying belligerent ma
tons with munitions in the ordinary
course of trade would be a breach of
neutrality and would. in fact, be an act
of war in disguise. 1t Is, therefore, i'm
portant that neutrals should realize not
only the possible but the logical conse-
quences of such action
After expressing the hope that it is
impossible for the United States and the
Allies to come to blows, the Post con-
cludes;
"All that need be said is that the AL
lies are as anxious for peace as President
Wilson, but cannot tolerate Intervention
at moment when Intervention means
victory for Germany"
