Bleeding France Presents a Sharp Contrast to Germany
By Associated Press


 raris' January 6.-The correspondent of the Petit Journal with the French armies oraWs strong contrast between condi- uons in the cities and throughout the country in France and Germany. France ne saws although victorious, is still bleeding from innumerable wounds, whereas vanquished Germany is already repairing the havoc of defeat and bustling activity has been resumed in some of the factories.
 After depicting the woes in the de- Vastated regions the correspondent adds:
 Travelers returning from Germany re- port that Germany is practically un- scathed and that in some places the peo- pie even preserve hope of revenge. Life goes on as formely; looms are in opera tion engines are humming and recon struction work is already under way. In France, on the contrary, mine shafts must be consolidated and reinforced, houses and cities rebuilt and fields reclaimed"

M A F. K ET Reports of Cotton, Grain and
 Provisions
NEW YORK STATEMENT.

New York, Jan. 31.-The recline which had carried prices off to 20.00 for May contracts toward the end of the previous week, was checked by the reduction in ocean freight rates and was followed by sharp recoveries. May contracts sold as high as 23.17 on Wednesday,, but at this level offer ings increased and since then fluctua- tions have been extremely and 1r- regular.
 The CD. in cotton rates by the American shipping board is expected to be met by British interests as soon as the period for which rates are now fixed has expired and reports have been circulating here of an improved expor tdemand, particularly from Bel glum
 Another factor discussed in con- nection with the advance has been the report of widespread agitation in the south for reduction of acreage this spring.
 Comparisons of the decline in cot ton since the signing of the armistice with declines in other commodities nave also promoted covering, and at times during the week, the market has shown decidedly better tone. The news from domestic mill centers and regarding industrial conditions gen. orally both at home and abroad, how ever, has remained unfavorable
 The agitation for AS hour week continues among, the New England textile workers and it is reported Northern and Southern manufactur- CTS are planning further curtailment of production. Approximations of in cresaed spot pressure have been pro- noted from time to time by the ap- pearance of Southern sellin gorders here and the market closed this week at reactions of 40 to 150 points from the best.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Jan. 31.-Higher pric- es prevailed in the cotton market dur ing nearly the entire session today. good demand for contracts resulting from accounts of generally better spot demand Closing prices showed net advances of 34 to 49 points. In the afternoon, the tone was quiet with moderate offerings from carly buyers which worked again values some- what.
 The feature of spot accounts was the report thst Liverpool was taking hold in a larger way with the result that a considerable business was being bought at the new prices quoted by the United States shipping board. A good demand was also reported from Belgium.
 The movement to decrease the acreage of the new crop attracted much attention. Large exports for the week, 167, ,23S bales against 91,136 this week last year, were a steadying influence.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISION

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Strikc settle ment reports from Argentine brought about lower prices today in the corn market here. The close was heavy at 2c to Sc net decline with May 11S to llS IA and July IA 1-2 to IA 5-8. Oats finished 3-S to 1 1-4c down and provisions off 12c to $1.
 Before the Argentine news began to dominate the corn market consider able buying took place owing to an- nouncement that the entente blockade had been lifted completely except in the case of Germany and that 6.O0O,- 900 bushels of breadstuffs a month would be allowed to go to that coun- try hereafter.
 Oats sympathized with the weak ness of corn.
 Excessive offerings of hogs carried down provisions.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-02-01

gian mills were said to be ready to operate as soon as raw material was available. The French commission was also credited with buying on the advance. Offerings then increased while the more urgent demand ap- peared to have been supplied and the reactions later in the day were accom- panied by reports that French buying had been completed.
 There was renewed talk of unset tied labor and trade conditions on the setback during the afternoon and re- ports that labor troubles in England were becoming more serious also at tracted attention.
 Spot cotton quiet; middling 26.95.
