Putting Green's Hit

Nearly every local course is msrred
by patches Of apparently dead turf on
the putting green. Hardly any OF the
courses escaped the blight. II Is due
e. the thawing and freezing during the
rigorous winter We have just passed.
Virtually the only grass affected is the
annual blue grass (poa annual, "a
weedy grass that comes in the late fall
and continues through the spring. The
loss Of this grass will not DC mourncd,
but IL will take some time 10 get the
dead brown patches green again.
The spots most affected have been
hollow places in the undulaung greens
where the ice formed during the win
ter thawed and then froze again. This

ful treatment With sowing Of better turf
grass seeds and top dressings will soon
bring the brown spaces back into a
healthful growth.

Gloomy on Coal Outlook

The Black Diamond" an organ of
the coal trade, persists in taking a pes
simistic view of the trade outlook. The
latest issue says: Evidently there
must be some readjustment of the pro-
duction programme or else there will
be a complete collapse in prices. In
response to the law of supply and de-
mand, and facing the new facts of the
national coal situation, the coal men
have been trying to readjust them
selves to an unknown future. The ten
dency at the moment is to discount a
pessimistic future; it is to assume that
normal industry will demand coal which
was called for by war activities. For
the moment it is enough to say that
production, both potentially and actu-
ally, in every district is ahead of the
demand in every market, and the coal
situation is just as easy as two weeks
ago it was tight. Indeed, the market is
so easy that curtailment of output, due
to the celebration of peace and to the
last effects of the influenza epidemic,
has not been great enough to reduce
the supply or even to equal the de-
mand, to say nothing of falling be-
low it."

Commodities
In d u strial
Cotton

The extraordinary excitement and
sensational price movements of the
earlier week were followed by nervous
and irregular fluctuations in the cotton
market yesterday. Advances appeared
to meet increased Southern hedge SELL
ing, but there was further trade buying
on the decline. Business otherwise ap-
peared to be chiefly in the way of even
end. After the advance Of X cents q
day and of 25 points from the price
prevailing just before the signing Of
the armistice, this naturally took the
shape of realizing which gave the mar
ket rather reactionary appearance.
January sold at 1900 early, broke to
27.95, rallied to 2875 and closed at
$500, with the general list closing
steady at a net decline of 5 to IS
points.
Many overnight buying orders ap-
peared at the ring at the start, and
first prices were firm at an advance of
8 to 80 points. But the expected Liv-
erpool buying did not materialize,
possibly because of the continued con-
gestion of the cables, and there was
heavy realizing by buyers of yester-
day. The tendency to take profits on
long cotton was increased by the ap-
pcarance of Southern selling orders
around the initial figures, and there
was also some nervousness over un-
settled conditions in the goods trade.
A sharp break of about rs to 1870
points was checked by trade buying,

Money Restrictions
Will Continue.
Brokers Are Told
Stock Exchange Partners
Announce Inequities Will
Be Removed

The present restrictions on the vol
ume Of loans for Stock Exchange pur-
poses are to remain. In line with the
statements Of bankers as
ISOLATED with the money committee, the
specia! committee on money appointed
by the Association of Partners of
Stock Exchange Firms yesterday an
nounced: "We desire to take this op-
portunity to state that the present re-
strictions will remain"
In statement issued the commit
tee said: "The committee has had a
conference with the Stock Exchange
committee Con money!, and we are
more than pleased to announce that
this delicate question has been handled
by the Stock Exchange committee in
most satisfactory manner.
"A number of the firms have made
inquiries Of us as to whether there is
any possible chance of removal of the
restrictions placed on loans. We de-
sire to take this opportunity to state
main. IT, however, any firm thinks
that any injustice has been done it, due
to any special cause in the allotment
of it's loan, the committee of the Stock
Exchange will be glad to have that
firm appear before it and explain the
facts, and if the facts justify modi-
lication it will be granted"
The following are members of the
Stock Exchange Partners Association
committee: Albert McClave, of Nc
Clavc & Co.. the president Of the as
sociation; Sol Wexler, Of J. S. Bache
e. Co.. James l.. Laidlaw, of Laidlaw g.
Co., and John H. Holden, of Babcock,
Rushton & Co.
Bankers who discussed the situation
take the view that the government
credit needs will be so large during
dangerous to lift the conservation
measures at this time. However, they
seem to agree that the limitations will
become no tighter, but that any changes
that do come will tend to relax the
situation.
The fact that the Stock Exchange
Partners committee, the last formed Of
the three money committees, was the
first to announce officially that the
signing Of the armistice with Germany
would not cause the lifting of the
money restrictions at the present time
caused some speculation in the Street.
One view was that the statement clear
ly indicated that no friction existed
any longer between the Stock Exchange
committee Of five and the, partners
committee, if there ever had been any,
as reported
