By NEW YORK TIMES.


New York, March 4. - Without
showing preliminary indications, the
foreign exchange and cotton mar
kets suddenly advanced this after
noon and maintained their strength
to the close of business. Tie pivot
of the swing forward was sterling
exchange, which, at the maximum
quotation, recorded rise of IA cents
to, the pound, as compared with the
final quotation the day before.
Clearly, so extensive an improve
ment in single session of dealings
indicated the presence of new Unfit
ences in the exchange market. Bank
ers III position to know intimately
the financial attitude OF British and
French leaders were non-committal
in discussing underlying factors at
work in the exchanges, but the
street was convinced that a move
ment Of gold from Europe to the
United States was at least under
contemplation. 1t was likely that
spectators in. exchange seused the
drift of quotations soon after they
began to move upward and 'pur-
chases for the sake of a profit had
part i'll afternoon dealings. Offer
ings of bills were light, as they had
been for a week previously, and
this tended to impart volatile
quality to the market. Franc rates
climbed and other exchanges re-
hected IN positive fashion the un-
usual movement of London prices.
Industrial Stocks Gain.

which appeal particularly to traders

in some instances to ) and 4 points.
While these were advancing, how
ever, the rails disclosed decided

took in the afternoon dealings was
attributed to the call money rate as

Urges Service Men
Be Given Preference
In Filing for Land

Washington, March 4.-Extension
of preferential rights of entry on
all public lands to former service
men was urged before the house
ways and means committee today
by d. w. Ross of Berkeley, Cal,
former engineer in the United States
reclamation service. He approved
the Smith land bill providing for a
bond issue OF $350,000,000 to be sold
in 10 years for the reclamation Of
public lands. The bonds would bear
Az per cent and would be tax free.
Representative Smith. republican,
Idaho, author of the bill, told the
committee the only other land bill
the Mondell measure-created too
large an expense, as S50O,0OO,000
would have to be appropriated 20
carry its provisions into effect.
1t is assumed that any legisla-
ton for the benefit of returned sol
diers will contain a provision for

Market and Financial News of the Day
New York Financial News

| Standing demand loans were re-
newed at 9 per cent instead of the
10 per cent quotation OF other days
of the week. and subsequently funds
were in supply sufficient to maintain
the renewal rate all the way along.
The slight easing of call money was
explained in several ways. all to the
satisfaction Of eager traders. From
one point of view deposits were BE-
ing built up at New York by corpo-
rations making ready for their in
come tax payments and as this
money would not be paid out until
around March Is it would tend to
expand cali loans supplies and bring
rates down. From another, large
tax payments already made were
being distributed among the banks
by the treasury and this process
would increase the call money Of
ferings. Time money rates stood
stiff1y at 8 and 9 per cent.
Gold Shipments Expanded.
1t may be that later considerations
OF today's business in the markets
will show that speculative opera
tions, centered chiefly in short COW
ering purchases. had more to do
with price movements than the urge
of real economic force. At the
same time that possible gold i'm
ports were being discussed, the out
ward flow of the metal from New
York was expanded through the
shipment of more than $l6,000000
to South America and the expecta-
ton that around $l0,000.000 would
probably 60 next week. If England
and France send gold it is expected
to come in relatively small lots, hav-
ing as its primary purpose the prepa-
ration for the Anglo-French matur-
ity in the autumn. What is believed
in well-informed circles to be of
much importance in directing senti-
inent is the recent dissipation of
pessimism over the general Eu-
ropean situation, development
aided not little by the constructive
ideas about supporting the indus
tries Of central Europe which have
come from the supreme council deal
ing with matters OF the peace treaty.
Sterling sight drafts closed at
3.55 IA, compared with a maximum
quotation Of $50. Francs were 80
points higher when business ended
than the day before, after showing
greater gain earlier in the afternoon.
A reaction was not surprising after
so violent rise. 1..-
