PARTIAL EXEMPTION
 '0F LIBERTY BONDS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-Partial exemption of income on liberty bonds from sur taxes was recommended to- day by Secretary McAdoo as a neces- sary means of stabilizing the market price of the bonds without raising the interst rate on them. In letter to Chairman Kitchin of the house ways and means committee MT. McAdoo urged that congress act on this sugges- ton before the opening of the fourth liberty loan campaign on September 2S and to make the exemption applicable to limited amount of bonds of the second and third loans and to con- verted bonds of the first loans.
 Other suggestions of the secretary for legislation included the proposal that the maximum amount of war sav- ings certificates which any individual may hold be raised from $1,000 10 s2.000. that he be given power to es- tablish credits in foreign countries to aid in stabiiizing exchange rates: that the president be authorized to regulate the hoarding and melting of gold. and that the pending bill excluding loans secured by liberty bonds from the Him. itations on national banks borrowings be enacted.

 Meantime peace feelers again have been sent broadcast by officials and men prominent in the high political councils of the central powers. The essence of their speeches shows pes simism as to the Teutonic allies being able to gain military victory. Added to the troubles of the enemy powers, due to the military defeats they have suffered and reported internal dissen- sion, comes the rumOr that the jeal- ousy of Bulgaria and Turkey over the division of the spells of war is caus- ing perturbation in Berlin owing to the possibility of an open conflict.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. June 20-Considerable strength was shown by the new crop months in the cotton market today as the result mainly, of continued hot and dry weather in Texas. Favorable war news and a larger export move ment, together with rumors of a large spot demand beneath the surface, were features that contributed to the stedi- ness. July was not as active as to the new crop months and was depressed by the liquidation. Around the opening the market was I to points off. from which it recovered and advanced until 1t stood. 1 to 25 points over yester- days close. For a considerable period the tendency was to sag and July went IT points under yesterdays close, all though the new crops did not make q net decline. In the afternoon the mar ket bulged strongly until it stood to A points over yesterdays final prices. The close was points lower to 30 points higher than the last quotations of yesterday.
 The weather map was warm and dry and reports of heat and drouth con- tinued to come from Texas. The effect of these was magnifed by the forecast of fair weather, with not much change Tn temperatures, for the entire western half of the cotton region. Exports at tracted attention, amounting to TO- ,454 bales thus far this week, against 23.- 649 during the same period last year.

New York June 2o-Favorable war news and continued nervousness over crop conditions in the southwest led to a sharp advance in the cotton market here today. July contracts sold up to e6.S0c or 55 points net higher, and closed at 26.72e with the general list closing steady at a net gain of IS to 47 points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of points on July. but generally to points higher, and soon sold 25 to q points above last nights clos ing figures Reactions of several points followed on reports of prospects for lower temperatures in the south west and realizing. but the market very soon firmed up again, reaching the highest levels Of the day in the Ia .e trading. October contracts sold at 2f.91 and December at 24.45. with the general list showing net gains of So to. s points. the close being only a few poinsv off from the best under realiz- ing, There was considerable local and Wall street selling during the early part of the day. owing to reports thar the hot weather in Texas was doing no damage. but many of these sellers appeared to be covering on the after noon advance. The detailed weather report for the Houston district showed slightly higher temperatures than the report of yesterday and private ad- vices as to today's weather were some what conflicting. Many of the re- ports which said that there had been no damage as vet, reported deteriora- tion probable should dry, hot weather continue. The reports of allied sue cesses on the European battle fronts attracted much attention and seemed largely responsible for the more op- timistic tone of the market Trade interests were among the more promi- nent buyers of early new crop deliv- cries and the Liverpool straddle selling which has hecu feature recently. was less in evidence.
