NEW COUNTERFEIT NOTE.

The Secret Service division of the
Treasury Department. in a circular
letter, warns the public that n
counterfeit ten dollar Federal Re
serve note is now in circulation.
Following is their description:
"On the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago, ILL.,, check letter"C", plate
number indistinct, w. G. McAdoo.
Secretary of the Treasury, John
Burke, Treasurer of the United
States. portrait of jackson.
The face of this counterfeit is a
Photographic print. The back ap-
pears to be from zinc-etched plates.
RED and blue ink lines appear on
the face of the note in imitation of
the silk fibre. The number of the
specimen at had is G2s5o69O9A.
The face and hair of the jackson
portrait are too white, owing to the
absence of many of the fine lines
of the engraving. The back
groud behind the portrait has the
appearance of solid color instead OF
the fine crossed line work
"The back of the note is very poor
and should lead to the ready de-
lection Of the counterfeit"

PRESSURE MAKES
COTTON MARKET WEAKER

New York, April 23. Heavy
pressure developed in cotton today
and the market was weaker. with
rallies poorly maintained. The un-
favorable influences included press
reports indicating serious condi-
tions in Mexico. fresh bear drives
against securities and apprehension
that the obtaining of credits for the
holding of commodities from chan
nels of distribution would become
more difficult. Initial quotations
were 5 to 81 points lower. The de-
cline extended to $3.50 for October
during the middle of the morning
or so to so points net lower. Trade
interests came in again as purchas-
ers and the list was up Is or 20
points from the lowest of the fore
noon around midday. New Orleans
was an active seller here.
In the afternoon weakness at New
Orleans, coupled with many other
vnfavorable factors carried prices
down close to the bottom of the ses-
sion. October fell to- 34.65. or 70
points below the previous close.
Final quotations were steady at a
net decline Of rs to 65 points.

AS indicating the progress being
made throughout the country in
the "unscrambling" of freight cars
the return of freight cars to their
home lines under the new car
service rules, put into effect by
the American Railroad Association
with the return Of the railroads on
March 1. W. C. Kendall, chairman
Of the commission on car service,
has issued a circular to the rail-
roads showing that the rules are at
least assisting materially, what
ever other factors are spent.
On March l only 21.9 per cent of all
revenue freight equipment was on
the home line. This was the lowest
recorded percentage. On March Is
a gain had been made to 22.2 per
cent. On April l the figures show
PAL per cent of home cars on home
lines, a net gain of 90 per cent, or
the equivalent of approximately
$4,000 cars in thirty days. Every
type of equipment has shared in
this improvement, though the
greatest gain, both in percentage

and in volume. has been with OPEN
top cars. The improvement with
this type of equipment is 81 per
cent Of approximately 1000, 600
cars.
Now is the season of the year
when grain cars should be moving
to home lines in anticipation of
this seasons crop" the circular
says. but 1t is fully as important
that the coal cars get home to
meet the coal requirements, which
are constantly pressing. and par
ticularly for the summers busi-
ness, which bids fair to be a rec
ord-breaker in all respects. The
lake coal-carrying lines have the
heaviest program ever laid out for
them-an increase of at least 25
per cent over last season, and
greater even than the war season
of 1918. These roads need their
hopper cars and othef light ca
pacity equipment for this service.
They must be protected. All roads
are anxious to set their cars home
that a better maintenance program
may be carried out"
