Weekly Financial Review


 New York February s,-Events oi the past week in the very disturbed financial and commodity markets indi- cated that little more than moderate recovery from the crisis in thre inter national credit situation may be eX- peeted in the near future.
 The many conflicting economic ele- ments involved in any effort to effect even partial stabilization of foreign exchange present ihsuperable difficult ties, in the opinion of expert observers without world wide financial and in dustrial cooperation.
 There is reason to believe, however that conferences of foremost interna- tional banking interests are likely to be held soon. either in London or Paris, when plans 10 bring about order out of existing chaos will receive earnest considerations Primarily, the violent reaction in stocks which caused many leading shares to fall from 10 to nearly 50 points, was directly connected with the crash of the exchange, Higher rates for call money bank acceptances and merchants paper were the outcome of loan withdrawals by banks here and at other reserve centers.
 It is generally agreed that curtail- ment of export credits necessitaiug sacrificia1 offerings of foreign bills, was the weakest point in the financial structure.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Pr,.

By Associated Press
 New Orleans February S.-Wide. de- clines were forced in the cotton market last week by the weakness of foreign ex- change and by the reports from England unrestricted imports of American cotton, the resnipping of cotton to this country and by the generally unsettled inter- national financial situation. Around the middle part of the week the claims that imports of cotton had been checked hy the f in sterling exchange were the dominating infduence in the market. but toward the close the market recovered fronr~the low points. partly because of a tendancy to recover in sterling rates and partly because the official statistics showed that any decrease in exports was more fancied than real For the week ending Friday total foreign exports were 17S19l bales against lS3.Si5 the same week last year and S6,Sl6 the same week two years ago.
 At the lowest of the week the trad ing months were 202 to 26S points under the close of the preceding week. On the close the market showed net losses of S4 to l56 points. March closing at 35.s5c against the closing price on middlug spots of 3S75c. Spots lost 1l3 points on middling in the net results.
 This week the market is likely to be unable to get vehy far away from the influence Of financial and political con ditions. but the trade at the end of last week was hoping for better things both from foreign exchange and from politics passing it's hopes on the reports from Lon don that drastic revsions in the eco homie provisions of the peace treaty were contemplated in high quarters in Europe.
 Spot markets were closely watched last week for signs of real weakness, but on the whole spots were much steadier than contracts so that the discount in the latter remained as wide as ever Any improvement in the spot demand this coming week would have favorable el- feet on prices, but any easiness in spots would be a pronounced bearish factor.

Tour southern members, Representa- lives Dent of Alabama Wise of Geor- gia and Quin of Mississippi oppose universal training. The other southern representative. Fisher of Tennessee, supports it.
 So overwhelming seems to be demo- cratic sentiment against compulsory training that House members are vic ing with each other in claiming credit for having initiated the movement re- sulting in the call for democratic caucus tonight. Representative Stegall of Alabama says he started it. Rep resentative Ninson of Georgia declares himself to have been the mAn. From best information. the beginning was in this fashion: The need of a caucus to the end that democrats might enunciate a principle and stand by it was mentioned by Stegan of Alabama to Dominick of South Carolina. Dom mick discussed it with Vinson of Geor- gia Vinson with Dent of Alabama, Dent with kitchin of North Carolina, and Kitchin with Clark of Missouri, the party leader. The call for the caucus was issded immediately after wards The unanimity of democratic sentiment is attributable to several causes. first among which is the cost, approximating si ,000, 100000 per an- num- which the institution of uni versal training would entail. Another general objection Is that termed 'con- seription in time of peace" A third point raised is the claim that the call to arms would take from the fields the producers of the nation.
 There is still another serious objec- tion which few members will specific ally state. It relates to the negro of the south. who would be served by the institution just as the white boy, whose treatment, training and discipline would be identical but the effect upon whom it is feared wogld be entirely different
