Weekly Financial Review

New York, November 10.--Announce- ment that the government has taken measures to regulate the transition of the countrys business from war to peace was the most reassuring event of a week of extraordinary develop ments in the securities market.
 This step is in eonsonance with the programme already formulated by leading banking and industrial inter ests to guard against unnecessary dis- turbances which may result from the imperative readjustment of trade and finance throughout the world.
 The recognized domestic mercantile authorities place especial emphasis on the fact that business of virtually ev- cry description is proceeding with these unprecedented conditions in the foreground. Trade shows gradual diminution at centers where reports of war order cancellations, have been most prevalent.
 Wall street seems to believe, how ever, that the immediate future of market values depends almost wholly upon monetary conditions. The focal money committee recently reiterated it's attitude as to the advisability of holding bank loans within moderate bounds.
 Railroad shares stood out for their relative strength, the low priced is- sues. whose potential values are re- ceiving greater recognition with the return of peace, being again sought by investors.
 Financiers are under no Illusions as to the future requirements of the gov ernment in connection with its huge plan of reconstruction, but such de- mands, 1t Is generally believed, will receive prompt support whether in the form of Liberty loans or credits to the entente allies.

Cotton Goods Review

New Orleans November 10.--The cot on every session of last week. at the highest levels showing net gains over the close of the preceding week of SPA to 356 points. On Monday the authorities of the cotton exchange were forced to invoke the war rule which limits fluctuations in any one session to 200 points. On Thursday there was bulge of 150 points. A favorable view of war news and of peace prospects was the main incent- i've for the buying.
 On Thursday the bulge followed the false rumors that Germany had signed the terms of armistice and on the weekend the tone held steady on the belief that political events of over Sunday would be favorable. Through out the week the market had a steady undertone on the continued military successes by the entente and American forces.
 Weather conditions over the belt were more unfavorable than favorable and they helped to- increase bullish sentiment The main feature in this direction was the report of floods and overflows in important cotton counties of Texas following heavy rains. It was considered that much damage had been done to that part of the crop still In the fields.
 This week the situation will neees- sarily revolve around political events in Europe and the way the trade com strues them. Of late the tendency has been to swing back to the conviction held by the market during the first four years of the war that peace would mean higher values for the staple Tu- til more settled conditions prevail in Europe 1t will be difficult for the mar ket to respond to those factorsewhlch ordinarily Influence fluctuations

Shall Autocracy Continue?
"It may be natural" he said, that
those in power should wish to perpet-
uate their great powers, but recently
granted to them, or as many OF them
as they can hold. But such an au-
tocracy as congress was compelled, un-
der conditions OF war, to temporarily
act up, 1t may be safely assumed, was
intended for the purpose OF winning
the war only. And we must take care,
Lest we now create In this country the
Yesy Conditions which the hfe's blood
of millions Of men has been shed to
destroy in other eountries!"
Asserting that for this very reason,
questions arising from the two schools
Of thought private or government
ownership Of utilities - will likely be
made political issues, and very soon
occupy the attention Of the two great
political parties, Mr. Warfeld declared
that the people Of the country must
decide upon one Of two courses: First,
government ownership, under which
the railroads viii seek to get all they
can for their holdings, and without
regard to whether such ownership Is

ORDERLY DECENTRALIZATION
OF ARMY WILL BE ENFORCED.

Columbia, Nov. 25.-The Adjutant
General Of the Army has appealed to
the State Council of Defense, through
the Council of National Defense, to
cooperate with the War Department
to the end that there may be an order
~ Rehabilitation Of the Army follow
ing the conclusion Of peace. without
the necessity Of resorting to measures
which the military authorities have at
their command to enforce an orderly
rehabilitation, since all military rules
remain in force, and desertions and
absentaions without leave will be
heavily punished .
The Defense Council is urged to
warn the civilian public that encour-
agtng, or assisting q soldier to evade
his military duty so long as he is in
the Army is merely aggrevatng SER
ious crime, for which the extreme
punishment is death: an dinstead OF
such convenience. the Adjutant Gem
eral and the Defense Council calls
upon the people to assist in every pos
sshle way in maintaining the morale
Of the soldiers to the last day they
will be in the service. Those who
have members Of their families in the
service should warn them against any
disposition toward relaxation in OBJ
servance of the strict military rules,
both because of the necessity Of main
tanning the morale of the Army, and
as :. protection to the soldier himself.
Deserters and those absent without
leave from the camps will be appre-
hcnded, and all military rules will re-
main strictly In force.
