CHARGES MADoo WITH SCHEME

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--Senator
Kellogg, of Minnesota, today declared
AIcAdOo is trying to put over govern
ment ownership of the railroads
against the opposition OF American
people. That. said Kellogg, is the
meaning of AIcAdOo's request to con-
gress for five years extension of gov
lernment control. Presenting the di-
rector generals recommendation, he
declared .'it is a most remarkable doc
ument coming so soon after Wilson
told congress he had no plan for the
solution OF the railroad problem. Now
we aIe given thoroughly thought
out plan, which McAdoo says, has the
presidents approval"

COTTON MARKET
SWAYED ENTIRELY
BY THE WAR NEWS
c. Il. AVERY.

New Orleans, March 30.-tSpecial. 1.-The
cotton market has been almost entirely
influenced during the past week by the
war news. Considering the unfavorable
news early in the week, prices have been
sustained remarkably well. This was due.
however, to the limited speculative in
terest N the market, well protected con-
tracts and the fact that the public is
becoming Injured to shocks.
The other news of the week has been
mostly of bearish character. Over sun
day advices from Texas told of the pre-
vious Fridays good rains and the ben
efits which would be derived therefrom.
These rains, however, were principally
in the south and southwestern portions
of the state.
This week on Thursday rains were re-
ported at Fort Worth and Oklahoma City
and weather may readers predicted more
over the holidays.
Statistics continue to become more
bearish. Consumption figures are run
ming much below last year. Receipts at
interior points for the week are nearly
10000 bales in excess of the same period
in 1917. Also stocks at the ports and
interior towns are piling up rapidly.
Failure Of the government to allot any
tonnage or cotton exports for April and
May was a severe disappointment to the
bulls and was reflected In the future
market by the May position losing much
of it's former premium. Brokers. who
usually act for large spot interests, were
heavy sellers of that position in this mar
ket ON Thursdays close. Notwithstand-
f,,fr 1a,-c nf haa ut IN
eastern operators found it easy to sustain
prices. because of the small stocks in
New York and the difficulty in getting
cotton to that port. There is little doubt
the shipping restrictions have worked to
the advantage of those interested in
maintaining the present range of values.
This fact alone has saved the New York
market from being obliged to absorb
quantities of low grades.
Prices for the raw material and the
prices asked for the manufactured article
have produced a situation which to many
close observers appears to be one or IN
flated values, bostered up by abnormal
conditions and not justified by the facts
of big supply and a limited demand.
Those bullishly inclined lay much stress
upon the argument that spinners will be
obliged to come in and buy the lower
grades of cotton, for which at present
there is little or no demand.
Bears say these arguments are based
on the theory that the mills can spin
most any kind of low grcdes II they are
obliged to, but they contend the facts
are to the contrary and cite the fact OF
blue stains as an instance. even If good
staple, as not being available for dyed
goods The bearish conclusion, there
fore. being that the bulk Of this low
grade stuff must find its outlet in the
contract market despite the so-caiied
discounts, which bears claim are more
apparent than real
The week finished with commitments
on either side greatly reduced or en-
tirely evened up. as is usual previous
to holiday. and the war developments
during these holidays will quite likely
determine the level of the opening on
Monday.

New York, March. So.-Aside from
the strength of few specialties. to-
days stock market manifested no
definite trend until the final dealings,
when standard issues. such as Union
Pacific and Reading. registered sub
stantial gains, partly as a result of
short covering.
Much of the days negligible turn
over was limited to equipments, mo-
tors and tobaccos, at extreme advances
of 1 to "a points. Coppers also re-
sponded to moderate inquiry and
some OF the more obscure specialties,
including Wilson Packing. were higher

United States Steel was apathetic
within a fractional area, finishing at
trivial gain. Allied steels were variable
as were most of the distinctive war
issues. All the days general news was
subordinated to closer scrutiny of the
advices on the progress of the battle
in France.
The bank statement reflected the
weeks smaller market operations, the
table of actual conditions showing
decrease of less than $12,o0o.0oo In
loans, and an increase of about s6.500,--
600 in excess reserves.

WEEKLY COTTON

New York, March 30.--Cotton goods and
cotton yarn markets continue very firm,
with a further advancing tendency. The
net result of the appointment of a com
mittee to confer with Washington au-
thorities on the matter of price fixing
on cotton goods was a discussion OF the
situation without any action being taken
either by the government or the trade
committee.
Sheetings and print cloths, as well as
many fine-combed yarn goods in the
gray are being sold steadily at advance
ing figures. the purchases being limited
by the unwillingneys OF mills to enter
further contracts until more Roadway
has been made on deliveries on contracts
already in hand Government and Red
Cross purchasing continues as a leading
feature and government needs are in
creasing greatly. Prints, ginghams and
colored goods have been withdrawn from
sale by many OF the large houses.
Bleached cottons are very firm, with
sales small in consequence OF the light
supplies at any price in first hands. job
bers report an active demand at higher
prices and retailers report satisfac-
tory trade.

Weekly Financial

New York, March 80. - War news
completely eclipsed all other events in
tho four full days of the week on the
stock exchange. Every move In the
terrific struggle on the western bat
tie front was watched with absorbing
interest. but mistaken confidence in
the outcome stabilized the action OF
standard shares.
Active trading centered largely in
the unprecedented demand for Liber-
ty Bonds, particularly second As, which
followed an announcement of the terms
of the next issue. Various theories
were assigned for the movement, but
in the last analysis 1t was evident that
the buying had its inception in sub
stantial quarters.
The remarkable showing of the
United States Steel corporation for
1917. the intention OF the government
to render necessary aid to railroads in
financial straits, as indicated by the
loan to the New Haven road and the
new schedule for steel and iron were
among the distinctly favorable iactofs
of the week.
Certain Of the more speculative
stocks. such as shippings, motors and
war supplies, of an unclassified chlrac-
ter were depressed at intervals Tor
reasons especially applicable to those
shares These included reduced earn
ings, dwindled dividend prospects and
difficulties due to scarcity of skilled
labor.
Bank clearings at leading centers
reflected increased activity in many
lines of industry, but the investment
market was at a standstill financial
interests conserving their resources for
tho next Liberty drive.
