MODERATE SELLING
ON COTTON EXCHANGE
Weaker Cables and Favorable
Weather Influence Trade.
Market Barely Steady

New York. March 31.-The weakness
OF the cables and favorable weather
over the belt caused moderate selling
and an easier opening on the cotton
exchange.
Old-style/ contracts declined 35 to as
points, while ncw-style contracts were
8 10 rs points higher. The chief
pressure came from Liverpool and Wall
street. while spot houses bought mod
erately. Some regarded the foreign
news as less encouraging, while others
were optimistic and believed peace may
come over night
The early decline carried the active
months about 81 to 5S points under
saturdays closing figures Wall stree,
was the prominent seller on the decline
which carried May off to 2i46c and.
October to zoe
There was southern selling of old
style months, while Liverpool bought
old style deliveries. There was also
some New Orleans selling of the new
contracts
Spot houses were buyers of May, how
ever, and the firmness of that delivery
checked the selling in later months with
prices laters showing rallies of 20 to 23
points on covering.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-The members OF
the executive committee Of the Ger
man National Peoples Party Of Off
cials-those who hold state positions
have voted to sign the oath to the
constitution which is obligatory for
all state employees only on condition
that they are exempt from swearing
loyalty and that they should be al
lowed to strive for another form of
government other than the present.
The officials term the oath contra
dictory and declare that the constitu-
ton itself guarantees absolute free
dom of political views and beliefs.
The vorwaerts sarcastically says
that they will not take the oath to
the republic but do not want tolose
their Mead-winning positions.
"They could not be more nervy,
tie paper adds. What consideration
did the monarchical system give the
officials who had twinges of con.
science against giving the oath to the
monarch?" it asks.

the Austrian treaty was acted upon
by the Senate.

House had repassed it over his veto
