SH|PbULD|NG NOW BECOMING NORMAL,
 P|EZ ANNOUNCES
Shipping Board to Change Plans in Order to Bring About Reduction in
 Expenditures

Washington, November 22. The shipping board now IS i'm posing such restrictions on shipbuilders and making such cancellations of contracts as will bring the shipbuilding ln- dustry back to a normal basis, Charles Piez, vice president ot the emergency fleet corpora ton, announced today in reply to Senator Harding's resolu- tion calling for statement of the shipbullding programme.
 MT. Piez said that the board early in September decided on a change in its nronramme. which would bring about a considerable reduction in expendi- lures. The boards aim now. he said, is to produce ships with regard to econ omy in construction rather than speed in delivery.
 Senator Harding's resolution called for a statement concerning the num- Der of ships built and their cost and MT. Piez announced that full re- port in answer to the resolution is be- ing prepared and soon will be sub- - mitted.

Propagandists Still
 Active in Mexico City

Washington, November 22.-German propagandists are still active in Mexico City and other parts of Mexico. of- ficial advices received today stated
 German agents recently have caused to be printed in Mexican papers articles intended, beyond question, in the opinion of officials here, to create distrust of the United States in Mexico. One Of these articles, as received here, declare that humiliating demands are to be made by the United States on President Car ranza, and adds Carranza boldly will reject these demands and move his capi- tai to a safer place. Another article tells of serious civic disturbances in Eng land and France.
 More recently, it is said, an article emanating from the same source insisted that the Germans had rejected the armi- stice and that the German army and navy were victorious in battles against the allies.

Weekly Cotton Review

. New York, November 22.-The sensa- tional weakness and violent price move
 ments wAich followed the signing ot
 the armistice have given place to
 steadier feeling in the cotton market
 during the past week. Selling for short
 account has been prevented by the con-
 tinuance of the Washington restriction,
 while liquidat ton has been less active and
 there has been no great pressure of hedge
 selling so far as the south is concerned.
 At times there has been pressure from
 trade sources which was attributed to
 hedging stocks of yarns goods or the
 liquidation of hedges against contracts
 likely to be cancelled. The unsettled state of affairs reported in the goods market, served to color the talk of this sort, but toward the end of the week the market improved on indications for in creased exports, and it was also said that domestic spinners were beginning to show more interest owing to the prospects for foreign competition.
 An announcement has been made by the war trade board that on and after i December no individual licenses will l be required for the exportation of raw 1 cotton to Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium and Japan. It is expected that this will facilitate shipments, and def l mite basis for the talk of larger exports next month was round Tn the increase of approximately 100000 bales in the al- l, lotment of British tonnage for Decem- Der shipment. It is supposed that these features have helped to restore confi- dence among southern spot holders and
 the talk around the ring here has re- l flected a considerable change of senti- nlent during the progress of the rally l from 2550c for January contracts last week. The census report showed a very l small ginning for the first half of Nov | enlber This was attributed partly tc the influenza and congestion but the fig 1 ures served to emphasize the smaller es- inmates of the yield and toward the end
 of the week freezing weather appeared l in the southwest.
 It is still considered question whether 1 civilian and export demand for goods wil expand rapidly enough to offset thu falling off in government orders and g | very unsettled situation is also reported in the goods trade of Lancashire.
