Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press


 New York, July 12-Many further indications of general improvement in important lines of trade and industry, In addition to normal peace demands, gave fresh impetus to the trading on the Stock Exchange this week, the ad- vance, however, being checked at one period by renewed stringency in the money market Call loans mounted to IT per cent, and as much as 20 per lated cases, but normal rates were soon restored, although banks and other warnings against excessive specula- tion.
 Dealings, covered the widest range of any period since the second stage of the bull market, encompassing many issues hitherto neglected, or unknown to the general stock list. but the bulk of the trading again concentrated in such favorites as oils, motors, and AL lied shares.
 Rails, especially reorganized or low priced stocks, experienced revival of the previous months inquiry, the de- mand extending to dormant issues of Western and Southern systems. High grade rails were firm, but only moder- ately active at best
 Noteworthy factors in the industrial situation, including United States steefs favorable tonnage report for June and the strength of coppers, which was concurrent with several advances in the price of that metal and kindred shares.
 International conditions found their clearest reflection in the weakness of exchange on London, Paris and Rome and in further enormous exports of gold to South America and Spain, and to Japan and other Oriental points.

R. D. Burgers Letter

1 New Orleans, July 12.-Developments of
 the most importance to the southern cot | ton industry came to the surface the past
 week when it was officially announced {; that the blockade against Germany would be lifted immediately, which prom ises resumption of trading with Ger many in the immediate future.
 The south made every sacrifice posSi- ble in it's efforts to help win the war and the achievement of her sons on the firing line, where her envious traditions for valor were upheld in the crisis when southern troops broke through, resulted in the enemy appealing for armistice, which virtually ended the war.
 Now she is to be rewarded by tho opening of the great cotton consuming
 markets Of central Europe for the first time in five years. Germany and Aus tria prior to the war consumed nearly 8, ,00o, 900 bales annually of American cot ton and much of foreign growths. Because of the war and loss of ships by submarines and mines, exports from the United States to Europe dropped to only 4,2l500O bales last season, whereas in seasons previous to the war they were nearly 100000, and were as much as 10,- 5oo000 bales for the season of 1911-12. Notwithstanding the great loss of ton- naged uring the war the worlds ton mage is back to about normal again, as a result of the extensive shipbuiding programme of the United States, Eng land and Japan, and while ocean freight | room is still comparatively scarce and high, due to the enormous movement of troops homeward and the great demand for all commodities from Europe. This situation will be relieved from time to time by the continuance of incessant launching of new steamers for commerce by the nations of the world, particularly by the great American shipyards, which are not only building, but. virtually man. ufacturng ships
 The improvement in shipping facilities is already noted in the fact that exports from the United States to Europe thus
 far this season are 5,529,O00 bales, against 4,091 900 to even date last season, with
 prospects of expanding in the future
 With peace restored to the world, for
 the first time since August, 1914, and
 with the. outlook for the new crop very
 unfavorable, the trade is likely to wit
 ness the greatest activity and demand
 for raw cotton and cotton goods in 1920
 than the world has ever witnessed. Pres
 ent conditions of trade in cotton and
 cotton textiles are likely to be only
 forerunner of what is to follow.-H. &

Impossible to Secure Some of the Simplest Necessities During
 Long Winter
By Associated Press

Archangeld, May 29-The population of North Russia is looking forward to the opening of navigation to relieve a gen. eral shortage in the simplest necessities and small luxuries of life from which it has suffered since the beginning of the bolshevk revolution
 An American housewife, accustomed to buying the little things she needs with out trouble, could hardly picture the con- dition of her sister in Archangel
 One wants for instance, to sew new dress. Perhaps one may obtain the ma terial, at fabulous price, or fairly req sonably if bought, strictly rationed. by card Search for Things will prove even more difficult and then one probably would find it absolutely impossible to buy packet of needles or a spool of thread. The same would apply to a. man who had broken his watch crystal. or and wished to buy new ones
 In the matter of foodstuffs, the basic element of diet, bread and meat and dried vegetables. can be purchased fairly req sonably. but, at this writing, a pound of butter costs the equivalent of g, eggs eU to S5 cents apiece, and the other day when some tiny oranges were brought ashore from ship. they sold at the rate of $50 each. and were bought up eagerly.

HEAPS CRITICISM
 ON KA|SER'S HEAD
Vice Admiral Gives ''Pecu- liarity of German People,
 as Main Cause of War
By Associated Prsss


 Berlin. June 15.-The former German emperor is termed superficial, gambler, a diletante of the worst kind and the worst enemy Germany has had since lsR, by Vice Admiral Foss in his revel- atlons entitled Disclosures About the Breakdown" The vice admiral charges that the emperor let things drop that he had espoused passionately, after he had lost interest in them. In his conviction that he understood everything the for mer emperor, he says, went so far as to participate in a contest arranged by the navy department for plans to construct an armored cruiser.
 The vice admiral ascribes the break down of the fleet to lack of decision and civilian courage among the officers, lack of discipline and forgetfulness of duty. even undeniabl cowardice. -
 Vice Admiral Foss gives as the causes Of war; first, the "peculiarity of the Ger man people, second, that of the emperor and third, the huge power in the hands !, Of the emperor. He takes the leaders to task and says, Admiral Won Tirpitz' was not a proper leader, that Won Scheer carried out the Skagerak fight with faulty tactics, that Von Hoetzendorff was incompetent but was made chief of staff because of his relationship and friendship with Admiral Won Mueller and Herr Ballin.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 12.-(Special Pub lication in the morning papers of state- ments from Washington that open trade with Germany was expected imme- diately and meeting her need of raw materials, including cotton, brought another sharp advance in our market today.
 October crossed 35kc, but enough realizing and southern selling ap- peared at that price to bring the ad- vance to a halt. We fear that the popular expectation of enormous ex- ports at these prices is likely to be disappointed. But demand for some volume of cotton is certain to come and be somewhat of a marketing value. Crop conditions however, show some improvement and it is a question how much is already discounted in the par. Local sentiment and sentiment gener- ally in the trade is bullish and we do not yet SC the factor which will change these views.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

CORN LIFTED BY THE TREND OF FOREIGN
 EVENTS YESTERDAY
Oats Also Made Gain of Two Cents, While the Provisions List
 Went Up
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 12.-Corn advanced rapidly today. owing more or less 10 broadened speculative demand which followed raising of the blockade against Germany. The market closed nervous at 2Ac to 5 lsc net advance, with September s1.95 F @1.96% and De- cember S1.64Ss @1.64k. Oats gained 2c t5 2& c and provisions FOG to soc.
 Most of the corn trading was in the December delivery, which ascended to a new high level for the season. Senti- ment favoring an upturn on the ground of renewed trade with Ger many was based largely on opirion that packing house products and other foodstuffs, including grain. would De in keener export demand. In this con- nection, the fact that new high price records had again been reached in the hog market formed decided element of strength Besides abnormally high temperatures southwest tended to winds and it was urged that the De- cember option should be pressed alto- gether too low as compared with Sep- tember. Under such circumstances, even radical bears evinced but little desire to sell short.
 Oats climbed to the topmost price on record for the September delivery. Adverse crop reports were mainly re- sponsible.
 Provisions were lifted by the strength of corn and hogs. Trade, however. lacked volume
