New York Cotton.

NeW 1OTk, MdtGli Ic.--l lS IoCoo'i market was nervous and irregular to- day, but near months showed consid- erable strength. The general list closed steady net Is points higher to 20 points lower on the new and twenty points lower to 10 points high CT on the old, style months.
 The tone was steady early, although first prices were somewhat lrregu- lar. Liverpool was an active buyer while there was a moderate demand from domestic trade sources and clearing weather was accompanied by unreasonably low temperatures in the southwest. After showing net ad- vances on new style positions, the market weakened on reports of in- creased southern hedge selling while there was also considerable realizing or liquidation. The market firmed up again during the afternoon, however on a renewal of Liverpool buying, a more favorable view of the European political news, and reports of south ern buying after the early selling. Rallies were not fully maintained and the market was rather unsettled un- der renewed realizing i the late trading. Reports that the foreign re- lations representatives of the Paris peace conference had agreed to re- move all commercial restrictions on German Austria as soon as necessary precautions have been taken to pre- vent re-exportation to Germany, were factor on the afternoon advance.

New York Statement.

New York, March 28.-The cotton market was nervous and irregular during the week. The decline from recent high levels extended to 23.3S for new style May and l945 for Oc tober last Wednesday owing to un settled conditions in Europe, eontin ued nervousness over the foreign exchange situation and the appear ance of better weather conditions in the south. The market steadied around these prices on covering and
 trade buying, however with May contracts selling at 24.S5 during to- days trading and October at 20.9O. Liverpool buying was a prominent feature on the recovery while there was also a considerable demand from domestic trade interests which was regarded as reflecting the continued improvement in the goods trade and increased mill activity in New Eng Hand. Private cables have attributed advances in the English. Markets to Ia better trade demand but the in l flucnce of Liverpool firmness has
 been offset to a considerable extent by the uncertainties of exchange and i the possibility of wider differences i between the two markets. The better
 weather reported in. the south during
 the early part of the week was fol- 1 lowed by renewed rains in the eastern
 belt and unseasonably low tempera-
 ture in the southwest accompanied
 by further complaints of delayed
 farm work There may also have been some scattered buying toward the
 end of the week on a private report
 pointing to reduction of Is percent in acreage, which would indicate crop of 11,320,000 bales.
 Generally speaking, however, loca
 traders considered it still too earl.
 in the season for such reports to car
 " conviction and new crop deliverie
 were relatively easy on the recovery.

ASKS CHAMP CLARK ID DECLARE STAND ON NATIONS LEAGUE
Congressman Mays Repeats Assertion That Former Speaker Said League
 Had No Chance

Washington. March 15-Champ Clark was asked to declare his position on the league of nations in a telegram sent to him at New Orleans by Representa- tive Mays, of Utah, who repeated his assertion that the former speaker had said in his presence that the league constitution has as much chance of being ratified as you have of being Pope of Rome"
 MT. Clark had publicly denied making such a statement. MT. Mays message was made public tonight by the organ ization of democratic members of the House who oppose the selection of MT. Clark as minority leader in the next Congress. Ii was said the former speakers reference to the league was made on the day Senator Reed of Mis- souri spoke against it in the Senate and MT. Clark had declared MT. Reeds argument was unanswerable.
 "All other prominent men have an- nounced their position on this vital pub lie question:" said MT. Mays, "even Bryan from a sick bed declaring the covenant of peace to be the greatest forward step in a thousand years, sug- gesting minor amendments. May we ask what are your suggestions?

go to sea within four days. The vessels are the Zeppelin. of 15,200 tons; the Prinz Freidrich Wilhelm, of 1000 tons, the Graf Waldersee. of 13.000 tons, the Pretoria, of 13,200 tons, the Cleveland, of 16.s0O tons, and the Kaiserin Angus ta Victoria, of 25.000 tons.
 The giant Imperator of 52.000 tons also will go to the United States. At the present time the Imperator is stuck in the mud, but it is believed she can be floated in a few days.
 The total ships made available to the allies under the agreement numbered more than 700, approximating 1,500, 900 tons.
 The vessels going to the United States are passenger ships, on account of the American desire to use them for the transport of troops Those going to France and England immediately are cargo vessels in neutral ports in South and Central America and the Dutch East Indies. They will be permitted to leave with cargoes for Germany with German crews but under allied flags. When ships put out from German ports to be handed over they will be manned by Germans, but on arrival in allied ports the crews will be replaced by allied crews and the Germans returned.
 There is available in England for inn mediate movement to Germany approx imately 30,000 tons of pork products, 5000 tors of beans, 300 tons of rice and 1000 tons of cereals. The United States mas in Rotterdam and on the way there approximately 75,000 tons of bread stuffs.
 A summary of the agreement shows that payment by Germany will be made by freight hire accruing to the Ger mans for the use of the shipping and part from credits that Germany may continue to establish and maintain in neutral countries; part from German exports, part from the sale of German
 wned foreign securities, and part by tlte itse of German gold.

 The proposed ship now urged by some American officers would have a speed of 29 knots, carry 12 16-inch guns, an armor belt of from 12 to IA inches, displace about 55, 900 and cost s4o,e0O.0O0 It would carry the same offensive and defensive as the uper-dreadnaughts and would make six knots an hour greater speed. The price of this increased speed, officers declare. would be a doubled cost of construction and almost double size, the latter carry ing with it far-reaching engineering changes in harbors, navy yards and dry docks to accommodate such monster craft No such vessels have been built or projected by any other power so far as is known.
 MAXIMUM SPEED
 This composite" battleship. for which Admiral Mayo. commander-i chief Of the Atlantic fleet; Vice Admiral Sims commanding abroad and many other high officers who have served overseas, have contended, is supposed to represent the maximum attainable in speed without the sacrifice of gui power or armor
 Among naval men it generally is con ceded that there is no question as to tho relative fighting value of the existing and proposed types. Having six knots greater speed. the composite craft would have a tremendous advantage, but it ia contended that even with all mechani- cal and economic questions answered in the affirmative, the strategic and tactica! value of the six knots increase in speed must be determined by concensus of pro- fessional naval opinion before so radt- cal departure in design could be em- parked upon. Officers must project their minds to future battles to say whether tke additional speed is worth what 1t would cost.
 The alternative, officers say, is tho present programme to which the general
