return from France of the bodies OF
deceased American soldiers, was an
nounced by Secretary OF War Baker
to a delegation of foty-six men and
women-all relatives OF dead service
men--from pittsburgh, Greensnurg'
Ossining and Scottdale. Pa, Chicago,
St Louis Baltimore, New York. Bir-
mingham, Ala, Richmond, Va. and
Washington D, c. The secretarys
statement was as follows
"At the outset the war department
promised that it would return, as
soon as practicable the bodies CT all
soldiers who died in France and
whose next of kin desired the re,
turn
''The war department has never de-
parted from this promise, nor abated
any effort to carry it out. So far all
obstacles have been overcome in the
matter Of the return of all bodies
from England, Italy, North Russia,
Belgium, Luxembourg, Siberia, Ger
many and outside the war zone in
France and every step which can be
taken has been taken to return these
bodies at once. The French govern
ment temporarily withheld its consent
to the exhumation of bodies in the
war zone where the largest number
of allied dead are buried. The state
department is seeking actively TO
have this consent given, and as soon
as it is given the same steps will be
taken with regard to the American
dead buried there. No sort of pref
erence will be permitted in the order
of the return of our dead, but that
system will be followed without ex-
ception which will return those who
are to be brought back most speed
lily, without distinction between Off
GERS or men, or upon any other
ground.
"The wishes of the next of kin will
be the sole determining factor Those
who desire to leave the bodies of
their dead On the ground where they
FELL or in the great memorial ceme- =
teries in France, will be permitted to
do so. AS between those who repre-
sent different views of the action
proper to be taken in the matter of
home these deceased sol
diers, the war department has only
the desire to have free discussion of
the circumstances in order that all
decisions may be made on the basis
of full information and the wishes of
those most interested respected

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 16.-The bulging tendency in cotton was renewed today and prices were sent up for gains of Fl cent pound or more tc new hgn levels where tho May position touched .e9c, the highest future contract price evar recorded in this market.
 Moro rain in the belt and the forecast of continued wet weather for sections that have been complaining of excessive moisture were mainly responsible for the buying. At the highest the trading months were 90 to 105 points over yesterday g close, October going to 36.66c. Heaviest rains were in the middle and eastern sections of the belt. The forecast called for showers in all states east of the Mississippi river, thereby threatening a situation which was termed serious by many traders. It was altogether q weather market the session through, and news other than that coming from the belt was dsregarded
 There was constant liquidation from the long side as prices rose, but it was no time heavy enough to cause material reactions and at times this liquidation furnished the greater part of the offer ngs coming on the market

WEATHER STILL UNFAVORABLE IN
 COTTON SECTION
General List Closed Steady at Net Advance of p to 90 Points Over Thurs
 day's Finals
By Associated Press

New York, April 16.-Continued un- favorable weather in the south and re- ports of an increasing trade demand for early new crop deliveries stimulated general buying in the cotton market eo- day., and all active months made new high records for the season.
 New crop positions led the advance with October selling up from s5.oe to 3692c or 109 points net higher. That delivery closed at 6.60c, with the gen. eral list closing steady at q net ad- vance of 25 to 90 points
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 23 points on the reports of rain in eastern and central sections
 of the belt. where crop preparations have already been much delayed. The improvement reported in the railroad situation was also a factor, while poth foreign and domestic trade interests were credited with buying early new crop deliveries against forward require ments Demand broadened as prices worked higher with considerable buying ! from the south and except for moder- ate midday reactions under realizing, prices moved steadily upward until May sold at 423Sc, July at 40.05c and Decem- Der at 8. 7Sc, with active months show l ing net advances of 53 to 115 points. Claims that cotton could be lUr- | chased Tn some eastern DelN DfdrhttS otl 1 a tenderable basis with May helped to i check the advance in old crop positions and there were reactions later on urf- | favorable trade reports from Manehe esser and profit taking for over the week | end.
 1 Closing prices were about % to 3S points off from the best on the new crop positions. The foreign buying ot early new crop months was reported
 more active today, and general business | was in greater volume than for the
 past several weeks. Local operators re 1 turning here from. the south say tha | the season is one of the most backward in years and that holders of remaining 1 old crop supplies are very independent with stocks of good grades rapidly tN5' appearing.

New York. April 16.-(SpeciaL) A falling off of 225,47 pounds in the combined output of the DOT phyries, four of the largest copper mining companies in this country, during the month of March. com pared with the production in Feb ruary, is revealed in the report for last month made public today. Two of the four companies. the Chino and Ray Consolidated, increased their production last month, but the declined output of the Utah and Nevada Consolidated was suf- ficient to make a net loss for the four companies in March. The Utah Copper Company produced S,S94,596 pound of copper. compared with 9,211.s06 in March against 3,S50,000 in February. The produc- ton of all four companies in March was larger than in March, 1919, but considerably smaller than in March, 1919.
 Bankers in touch with British financial policy are of the opinion that the gold flow to the United States in anticipation of the Anglo French loan, which natures on oc- tober Is, has not ceased. The fact that arrangements have been con cluded between Great Britain and argentine whereby the former will supply funds for the paying off of the Argentine maturity here on May IS was interpreted by many to mean that the gold shipments of the last month from London have been in anticipation sf the Argentine maturity, which amounts to about s4S.000,000. However, it was denied that the wold was ear marked for this purpose. It mere ly added to the British balances in this country. which had al- ready been heavy Part of those balances has already been used to buy Anglo-French bonds for the account of the British government at the prevailing discount in the open market.

FEAR OF 4 MONEY
 STR|NGENCY WAS
 CLOSELY WATCHED
Call Loans Opened at 10 Per Cent, Rose to 12, Then Fell Back to 8 In the
 Final Hour
By Associated Press

New York, April 16-The very pro- noGnced diminution of operations on the stock exchange today at irregular prise changes resulted almost entirely from fears of greater stringency in the money market.
 Call loans opened at 10 per cent, an initial rate not approached since the early part of March, and rose to 2 per cent at midday, but fell back un- half hour, when interior banks offered freely of their local reserves.
 More rigid tendencies were manifested by time funds, however bids for short term accommodations being made at IS to l< per cent over recent quotations. Acceptances were extremely light, this applying also to commercial paper and other non-speculative requirements.
 Locally, the railroad strike ceased to exert more than passing influence, but out-of-town advices, especially rom steel and automobile manufacturing cen ters, reported ah almost complete ces- sation of production.
 Sentiment again was dampered by the further decline of Liberty bonds aad Victory note, nearly all of which made new low records Bankers are -authorNy for the statement that much of the cur rent liquidation is of an enforced char acter, arising from industrial disturA ances and resultant financial needs.
 Pools in the steel, equipment, motor and oil groups where extreme gains extended from 2 to points. imparted occasidAal activity to the market. Shippings, sugars, chemicals and ar- filiated specialties also were firm to strong, but trading lacked the breadth of recent sessions.
 The general bond market was affected for a time by heaviness of federal is- sues but rallied, both as to rails and faaustra1s, in the stock list at the close. Total sales, par. value, aggregated sD,- 5Oo,o00, an unusually large turnover.

Over Private Wires
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 16.-The market today advanced very rapidly until July sold over 40 cents. Other rain in the Atlantic states and the expectation of more bad weather led to heavy speculative buy ing, especially in the new crop months. This demand was supplied largely by sales from Liverpool, which fears labor trouble at Lancashire before the end of the month. Local sentiment is still very bullish and higher prices arc generally anticipated. There appeared to be q good deal of southern selling on the basis of 40 cents and 421a cents for July and May, respectively. It is said that the coastwise steamers expect to break the present Iongshoremen's strike and it is possible to ship cotton from the coast at ports here against May on tho present basis.
 Generally speaking, it is expected by the local trade that more bad weather will bring still higher prices.-Hubbard Bros & Co.

THEDAY IN WALL STREET
Copper Production Drops-More British Gold Expected Big Steel Consolidation Impending, Accord
 ing to Rumors

York Central Companies expressed the opinion that at least [ per cent would have to be paid for money for some time by issuing their ob- legations at that rate" saidN a prominent commission house today, the market has shown a disposi- tion to ignore high interest rates. It would seem that now the street has become convinced that if it wanted stocks there could be no easy money to do it with for prolonged period, it would accept the situation, become accustomed to the new per cent figures and take account of other influences, favor able or otherwise, as they are Past experiences have proven that one can become accustomed to most anything, except that which is really destructive, so, if the at tempt is not made to conduct a wild bull speculation and thus use up money so that rates would have to be made absolutely prohibitive, it is not at all improbable that the market, with considerable irregu- larity in it's movements. will grad ually work moderately higher.
 Rumors of an impending consol- idation of the Lackawanna Steel ' company, the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company and the Inland Steel Company received wide cir culation in the financial district today. They were mainly respon- sible for the sturdy strength dis played by Lackawanna Steel shaHes. which advanced more than 2 points net. A leading interest in Lackawanna Steel denied that the company would be involved in the reported merger In fact, it was stated that the matter had not even come up for discussion before the management of the property. According to advices from Cleveland the plans for the steel combination have reached an advanced stage and many of the details have been agreed upon by the interested parties One of the reports was to the effect that & capitalization of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company would precede the consolidation.
