New York, January 1S.-In the absence of constructive developments, the securi- ties market lass week entered upon an- other reriod of liquidation, the decline receiving substantial assistance from an emboldened sher- interest
 Selling was most active and price i'm pairment most severe in number of low grads promot.on1 issues, especially e'ls and a few shares of no special classitica- ton. The reaction ultimately affecse'. other stocks of more stable character.
 Amorg the issues exempt fr the gen. eral decline were the rails, inetals and representative industrials of the steel di- vision. United States Steel, for exampe' continring to reflect it's strong tonnage position
 The money and foreign exchange mar kets contributel largely to the shrinkage of quota tions Demand loans manifested marked relaxation, but time money was almost nnobtairable, even at Si2 per cent for the short dates. There was cumulative evidence that frastic measures are con tempiated. if necessary. for the further restriction of credits
 Partly because of latest and more men aciag conditions in eastern Europe, but mainly ecause of continued delay in ar fectins remedial measures, foreign ex- chaFge once more moved strongly against London and [ Elropean centers.

DUTCH NOTE LAYS
 MANY CRIMES AT
 THE KA|SER'S DOOR
Points Out That Had the Emperor Remained In Germany He Would
 Have Been Delivered
By Associated Pres,

Paris, January 1S-The supreme councils note to the Dutch govern Q snt arking that the former German emperor be given up to the allies un- der Article 227 of the Versailles treaty for trial. points out that if the former emperor had remained in Germany he would have been delivered up under the same conditions by the German government.
 Among so many crimes the note recalls the cynical violation of the neutrality of Belgium and Luxemburg; the barbarous system of hostages, massed deportations. systematic deyas- tation without military reasons, the submarine war and declares: For all of which acts responsibility, at least moral. reaches the supreme chief who ordered them CT abused his un- limited powers 10 break, or permit others to break. the most sacred rules of human conscience.
 The powers cannot conceive.' it adds that The Netherlands would re gard with less reproduction than them selves the immense responsibility weighing upon the ex-emperor. Hol- land would not be fulfilling her in- ternational duty if she refused to as- sociate herself with other nations, so far as she is able, to prosecute, or at least not impede. the punishment of crimes committed"
 The note, points but that it is the duty of the powers to insure execu- ton Of Article 227 without entering into argument, because it is not a question of public accusation, having throughout a legal character, but an act of high international policy inn posed by the universal conscience fin which legal forms are employed solely 10 insure the accused body guarantees such as have hitherto been unknown in public law"
 It concludes by expressing the con viction that Holland. one of the first to claim place in the League of Na- tons, will not desire to cover by moral authority violation of the essential principles of the solidarity of nations, and that all are interested to prevent q return of a similar catastrophe.

New York, January 1s.-There is no better illustration of the condition of the steel market than the amount of filled tonnage on. the books of the United States Steel Corporation at the end of December. The unshipped v4 ders on that date comprised S,2S5.s6s tons. compared with 7,379,152 tons on November 29, a record increase of l,lS5-9S6 tons. The larger producers are heavily sold and accept only dis t3nt and urgent business. The indc- pendents demand premius for every thlng and can offer nothing but delaye delivery. Demand for rails, car and shipping steel, plates, bars and sheets Is accommodating heavily. Export de- mand for semi-finished and finished steel is very heavy and can only be partially met.
 No free pig iron is obtainoie on con tract before April and the tonnage of fering for the second quarter is linn ited Buyers seek to cover for the sec ond half and some business has been done, chiefly In Cleveland and Buffalo but most furnaces are unwilling to quote beyond June.

Weekly Cotton
By Associated Pres.

NSS~N~-~~
 New Orleans, January lS.--Whilc trading was active in cotton last week, fluctuations were comparatively nar- row. for which the conflict of the main influence was responsible. On the one here highly favorable trade conditions and a good demand for spot cotton. which many people claimed was ex- tending to the lower grades while on the other was almost constant talk ot tight money and. late in the week, the new tangle in European politics. This latter feature caused some of the heaviest selling ofVthe week.
 Prices of contracts ranged over only 1sS to 16S points. and closed at net de- c1ines for the week of to points, the most insignificant net changes of any week in years. The March position closed at 37.50c. In the spot depart ments prices lost 75 points, midd1ing closing at 40.25c. At the highest the trading months in the contract market were S2 to 90 points over the close of the preceding week. and at the lowest they were 50 to S6 points under
 This week it is hardly likely that the trade will be able to get as far away from outside influences, and particu- larlv political matters. as many traders would like and any further unfavorable news probably wolud cuse quick and extensive selling, just as favorable news would result in buying. Left to itself, the market would get back to consideration of trade conditions and the spot demand, and also, probab bly, would devote little more attention to the problems connected with the new crop, for the time of active prepara- tion for the new planting is now not far distant.
