tainly Wall St. is optimistic. The
announcement that money will be
obtained to finance the railroads
until the next session of Congress
has been a telling factor. An
other is the knowledge that the

New Orleans, La, March 49,
"Buy only what you need, but
buy it now!"
This is the message the Adver-
Using Club of New Orleans is
sending to Patriotic Louisiana at
the request of the State Council
of National Defense.
The reason for the "Buy Now
movement is explained in the fol-
lowing statement signed by the
United States Council of National
Defense members who are mem
bers of the Cabinet:
"The unemployment of return
ing soldiers, sailors and marines
is the patriotic duty of the whole
people.
Industry cannot absorb these
men and take care of men already
employed, unless there is de-
mand for industrial products.
"All commerce rests finally
upon the individual purchases oil
the people.
"When people buy. business is
good, when people cease buying
industry slackens.
"The nation is in a period OF
transition from a war to peace
basis-to make this transition
quickly, it is necessary that the
people Of the United States un
derstand the necessity of buying
what they need now.
"Hoarding is dangerous, so i
waste. Take ~ middle course
Buy now, but buy carefully"

COTTON.

Under the wip and spur of bull
isb news. prices have recently
risen $50 points on old March
roughly 300 to 400 points on other
months, largely due to to bright
ening prospects for larger exports
through an early singing of the
peace treaty. That would mean
the lifting of the blockade of Ger
many. Germany would then buy
heavily for it is practically with
out cotton. 1t would take large
quantities Of low grades. 1t
always does. And it has every
incentive to buy heavy. 1t wants
to regain lost markets. And when
the time comes it is believed that
ocean tonnage to ship the cotton
aboard will be forthcoming. The
crying need is for ocean tonnage
It is our belief that it will be found.
Before'the war the yearly exports
ranged in some years from $500.
600 to 10.500,0O0 bales, the latter
being the high record, in 1911-12.
And as we return to normal con-
ditions of peace, exports which
last year were only 4,476,124 bales
with central Europe left out and
the rest Of Europe economizing,
will gradually move towards at
least double that quantity. Apart
from this Liverpool has been a
very large buyer of March old con-
tracts this week to cover strad-
dies. On the 18th instant old
March advanced the limit of 200
points prescribed by the rules Of
the Exchange here for one day s
fluctuations whether upward or
downward Another distinctly
bullish factor is the lateness of the
season at the South. 1t is four TO
six weeks late. The government
reports show that preparations are
far behind and the time is near at
hand for planting to begin. that is
March 18th, in the southern half
of Texas and April LIST to April 9TH
in Louisiana, Florida. Miss. and
Alabama. Also there is the deter
mined campaign to reduce the
acreage 33 per cent. People believe
that something will come Of this
even if the area is not reduced
that much. And by the new law
only IL grades are deliverable on
contracts instead of 81 up to Mar.
4th and some % in old times.
This drastic restriction Of course
greatly strengthens the new con-
tract. especially as the grades de-
liyerable are scarce here. Another

bracing factor is the better de-
mand for cotton goods. On We'd
nesday the sales of print cloth ana
conyertfbles were estimated at
100000 pieces at firmer prices.
And Manchester is more active.
1t is doing more business with the
Far East. Meanwhile exports OF
raw cotton to France the begin
ming to increase.
Although reactions like that OF
today are to be expected prices
look relatively cheap by compar-
ison with cotton goods and also
remembering the fact that there
is practically a cotton famine IN
Europe, more practicularly on the
Continent. If by reason of bad
weather, a late season, reduced
acreage and the ravages of boil
weevil which have been favored
by an unusually mild winter, the
next crop shouldpprove to be
short, it would be the fifth shorr
crop in succession, and what the
world would do for cotton AMI
how high prices might then GO
are decidedly interesting questions
The business of the country has
evidently set it's face towards bet
ter times. The recent rapid rise
in the stock market is reflection
of this fact. As for cotton Eng.

ests have all been free BUYERS; al

be used as collateral at the banks.
Second, the railroads corporation
may make such loans as thew are
able at the banks at a reasonable
rate of interest. Third, the War
Finance Corporation is to extend
aid to the weaker railroads. The
vital point is that money will be
found. The railroads will be It'd
ed over to the next session of Con-
gress. That may come sooner
than most people expect if the
peace treaty is signed at an early
day.
Meantime general trade is grad
ually improving. The country is
facing better times. Things are
on a conservative basis. Saving
banks show a good gain in new
deposits despite the record break
ing issues of Liberty Bonds. Fed
eral Reserve banks hold gold
enough almost to double their loan
accounts if they see fit and still
keep within the law. Raw mat
erials are cheaper. The cost of
living has declined 10 per cent
since the Armistice was signed.
The buying power of the people
was never greater. Luxuries are
in active demand. including auto
mobiles and jewerly. An UMPIRE
cedented foreign commerce is
pressing for ocean tonnage. Cred
it facilities will be provided
Europe will want our foodstuff on
an enormous scale.
Steel and equipment stocks are
in steady demand. Other indus
trials have been active at rising
prices. They include Motors,
Tobaccos. Oils, food shipping, alco-
hol, and chemical stocks. There
is evidently a good short interest
in Steel. Atlantic Gulf and Mar
