The Worlds Markets
Weekly Financial Review
Rx Assnniaind Presa


 New York, April 1l.-Active trading in the stock market this week at irregular advances for almost all but the rails again derived it's chief support from the operations of pools, cliques and other professional sources.
 There were intervals when the market presented a two-sided aspect re- suit of technical conditions and later be- cause of the coast-to-coast railroad strike Numerous minor issues in the steel equipment oil and unclassified di- vision were prominent at higher levels.
 The money market was a strong pro- polling force, call loans ruling at per cent. On the surface, rigid time rates were unaltered, but the market actually yielded to the extent that loans for short terms were negotiated. Important corporations are making overtures for financial assistance, fol- llcwing the lead of the Pennsylvania railroad whose s50,0oo0o0 ' per cent bond 1 issue is oversubscribed. It is understood that other railroads and some of the | foremost industrial companies may soon | consummate underwritings approximat- | ing S25, GOO 900.
 1 x The outcome of these projects is al- ready foreshadowed in the depreciation of existing bonds, some of which re- ceded sharply during the week with liberty issues, but foreign war floata- l ticns were relatively firm.
 In the broad field of international credits interesting developments inclined further large gold imports from London. heavier exports of the metal to South America and another sharp setback in foreign exchange with acute depression Lin French and Italian rates. both fall- ing to new low records as against the American dollar.

WEEKLY DRY GOODS
By Associated Press

New York, April if.-Primary cotton goods markets are on the highest levels of price thus far attained, and busi- ness continues steady in most of the gray goods or unfinished lines. Con tracts are being placed in moderate way for deliveries carrying to the end Of the year. The cloths used in the au- tomobile trades are in steady demand and bag manufacturers have operated freely.
 Many of the large converting organi-
 zations have bought very moderately
 and the jobbers are not buying brown
 goods in any important way. Some
 small orders have been taken on sheet
 ings for shipn mt to China. The largest producer of percales and prints named prices for fall on g. basis of 28c for narrow indigoes, and BOG for A e4x64 light ground perca1es for de- liveries in April, May and June. Twen- | ty-four hours later all the goods that l could be delivered in the months stated were sold and the lines withdrawr from the markets. Wide sheetings are very scarce and high. Drills have sold freely Medium weight sheetings have sold well.
 The mills are still finding difficulty 1 in shipping goods and the irregular distribution due to poor transportation facilities tends to make the values of spot goods high. Generally speaking export trade is quiet although some I'bleached goods houses report Q satis- factory business.

 New York. April 11--George Creel former chairman of the committee on public information. tonight branded as Ties" the allegations contained in re- port made public today by Senator Shoot in connection with the Transfer of the Official Bulletin to Roger w. Babson
 This is one of Senator Shoots lies, Greet declared. "and no one knows bet ter than Senator Smoot that 1t is a lie'
 when the official Bulletin was dis continued" Creel said, II asked the At torney general for permission to put up it's assets at public auction There was mailing list of about 1S.Ooo paid sub scribers, the majority of these sub scriptions unexpired.
 ITO free the government of the ex- pense and annoyance of returning them. I thought it wise to sell the property to the highest, bidder The attorney general in writing forbade me to do this, telling me that all money must be returned, and that the mail ing list must be made available to every citizen.
 T ordered the money returned and made announcement that anyone could copy the mailing list who so desired. Babson availed himself of this per mission. He received nothing at all from the government. The whole trou ble comes from the fact that some of Senator Shoots friends wanted copy of the mailing list furnished them at government expense. This I refused to do.
 The whole incident is merely an ex- cuse for Shoot to revenge himself for my share in the Mormon exposure "The government wiped out the com mittee on public information on June 30, 1919. right in the middle of it's liquidation, but while every expense and annoyance has resulted to me, the final accounting is almost ready to be l announced and expenditure of every cent is set down.
 tHThe entire work of the committee covering almost two years. both in America and every country in the world cost a little over s4000, 900 less l than the other belligerents spent in I one country in one year"

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans. April 11--Last week in cotton was active, with a broad price movement and quotations maintained above the level of the preceding week throughout Trading during the first two sessions was at the lowest levels while the high prices were made on Friday At the lowest the active months were 2i to SS points over the close of the preceding week and at the highest they were 220 to 239 over The range was 40 to 200 points Clos ing prices showed net gains of 1lS to 19S points. May made a new high rec ord for contract prices when it touched 41.20 This position closed at 40.S0c. In the spot department there was net rise of 50 points on middling which closed at 41.50. At one time May threatened to go above the spot quota ton.
 The market got it's main support from the unfavorable weather over the belt. heavy rains being detrimental to the work of preparing to plant and of planting the new crop. Bullish senti- ment was constantly fed by widespread complaints of late season and private bureau reports indicated that but lit- tie planting was being done whereas the planting date was reached by large portion of the belt. It was al- most entirely weather market but toward the weekend there was some buying on the way the peace resolution was being handled by the House.
 Late in the week considerable realiz- ing came from the long side and if caused moderate reactions from the high levels but the tone was steadied on the close by fear of more bad weather in the belt as the result of the storm area shown 10 the north west of it by Saturdays map. Should weather reports continue unfavorable this week the long side would have an important advantage for the time has now arrived when planting should be nearing completion in the more northern sections of the belt. Bearish traders are inclined to make much of

NOT SCARED BY
 THREAT, SAYS BABSON
By Ass0cIateG rfess


 Wellesley, Mass, April 1l.--Roger w Babson when informed tonight that the chairman and vice chairman of the joint congressional printing committee had recommended in a report that the government institute legal proceedings against him in connection with the transfer of the Official Bulletin. said that he would be glad to have the gov ernment resume publication of the Bull letin. If Congress should not authorize such resumption he said he would not be "scared out of the publishing field.
 MT. Babson said that after Congress ordered the publication of the Official Bulletin stopped in March. 1919, he be- lieved that there was an opportunity for a publication of that kind which did not carry advertising.
 T started the United States Bull letin." he continued, "and entirely new publication which was a weekly while the Official Bulletin was a daily The subscription price was different and it was wholly a private venture It has never been a profitable venture and have made several attempts to have Congress continue the publication of the Official Bulletin and offered to give up the publication of the United States Bulletin f Congress would do so.
 All of this correspondence is in the hands of Senator Shoot Chairman of the joint printing committee}. There is no need of the government wasting time or energy to sue me. If Congress will continue the publication of the Official Bulletin I will gladly retire from the field but unless Congress does provide for such continuance I shall stick to- the field and shall not be scared out of II. I believe the American people are entitled to an i'm partial news service free from advertis- ing or party control, and I am deter mined to see that the people get it.
 T don't say that the purpose behind Senator Shoots report is to prevent such a publication being printed in Washington. but it certainly looks that way.v
