FINANCIAL AND TRADE SUMMARY Il
Markets Decline Sharply.

A succession OF sharp declines prevailed on the New
York Stock Exchange during the past week Major opera
tons against the oil and sugar stocks based on semocai
statements given here in which the story OF the mpend-
ing exhaustion OF the Mexican oil fields reiterated as
battering RAM resulting in Mexican Petroleum, Atlantic
Gulf and West Indies, together with some others being
forced to the lowest levels reached in two The at
tacs on sugar stocks based generally reports that
plans for financing sugar stocks had fallen through
During the latter part of the week that certain
tobacco interests agreed support the Doheny stock
resulted in bear raiders turning their attention to this class
of security American Tobacco and other tobacco stocks
were subjected TO assaults almost vicious as that made
upon the oils.
Call money was offered freely at SH per cent during
the week which is the lowest several weeks and was
loaned at , and 81 per cent in the outside market
Grain.
The grain market averaged lower during the past week.
General uncertainty legislative action certain wheat
areas coupled with rainy weather over the Southwest
sharp break in cash premiums, and enormous selling DON III
the nature of and in furtherance OF short COM
mitments all contributed to the downward tendency
Trading in general, purely professional with ag-
gessive support lacking while the bulges brought ont IN
creased offerings There active demand for export

Cotton.
TIL. cotton market Joined in the general decline which
ruled other markets during the past week Foreign cond'
lions counted for much private cables indicating that the
main reason for the independence shown by the lVepoo
market during the week due entirely to the better turn
taken by labor conditions in Great Britain
Heavy Southern selling, enormous export demand UNI
favorable weather and reports were the local elements
responsible for the decline.

BRITISH COTTON MARKET.

The British market for cotton has shown
much change during the past week. While the. spot
price advanced, slightly early in the week. has
fallen back to about the it was week ago.
1t is generally felt, however, that 3D. per pound is
about as low the market possibly 60 Other
wise the present depressing conditions would have
forced spot down a lower figure by this time
The business now being done in Liverpool is
duced to minimum and few people in the
cotton trade have experienced quieter time.
The Manchester markets the whole seem little
better in than those of Liverpool for there is
substantial demand for cotton cloth, and were the
manufacturers free accept orders Internationally
fair business might be DONE Unfortunately the pres
ent coal strike makes it incumbent each manufac-
turer to insist strike clause and this in some
cases puts stop business and explains why, with
a good demand for cotton goods and fairly moderate
prices, business is practically at standstill

German Silver to u. S.

Reports are current in the financial district that
Germany intends to place sale large quantities OF
silver in connection with its preparations to meet the
reparatons payments Bankers and bullion authorities
are without confirmation of these rumors, but It is
expected that If the movement develops it will be
largely directed to the United States dollar credits
will be much in demand by Germany
The unusual fact of shipments of silver from Ger.
many the United States has already been witnessed
The aggregate of the shipments coming forward,
cording to bullion dealers. is not great amounting TO
only about 100000 ounces but ordinarily the move
ment would not have occurred The circumstance Of
the current shipments is attributed to the desire of
Germany arrange dollar credits here Most Of the
consgnments that have been have represented
private transactions it said.
The silver that is being shipped from Germany to
this country the product Of German rehnees which
under normal conditions is absorbed by domestic
sumption shipped to London the natural market
for it. The latter understood be restricted now
by heavy import duties.

steamers with total register of 8a2 $50 TONS entered
the port of Bahia from foreign ports The inward cargo
amounted 466s short tons and the outward cargo to
62o6I Great Britain led with 1903 steamers. with
total register of 434S8 tons which brought in 234oI
of cargo and carried away 23585 tons The United
States took second place respect to the amount OF inward
and outward freight with 86Io and 1916 TONS respect
lively but third place respect the registered tonnage of
vessels second place being taken by France with I3S2
tons Consul Thomas H. Bevan explains the relatively
small of freight carried by the British and French
in comparison their registered tonnage by the fact
that the large percentage of the tonnage engaged in the
Bahia trade is for passener service whereas the American
lines have no passenger service calling at Bahia.

ALMOST SMASHED

DIR. Harry Walters and Mr.. Parks
narrowly averted smashup on the
Presbyterian church corner late yes
terday afternoon. 1t was only the
lightning refexes of the two drivers
that saved the cars from going into
each other. Dr. Walters was going
Up Fort King and Mr.. Parks was
headed north on Watula street. When
they saw each other it was too late to
stop. DR.. Walters whirled sharply to
the left and turned into Watula. Even
then he. was too far over in the street
for Mr.. Parks to avoid him except by
leaving the street, so Mr.. Parks turn
ed his car across the high curbing and
iup on the sidewalk along side the
Presbyterian church. The collision
was thus avoided hut there was some
minor damage done to Mr.. Parks car
when it jumped the high curb.

BUSY BUILDERS

Ray & Thomson are forging ahead
in building operations. In a short time
they will have completed the bunga-
low on East Fort King that is to be
occupied by Mr.. Ray. Just as soon
as this dwelling is completed another
bungalow of about the same size and
plan is to be built on the lot directly
back of this one.
Back of its Office on South Third
street, this firm is now constructing
a warehouse and shed where it will
keep its supplies and trucks. 1t is the
intention of these two progressive
young men to continue building bun
galows as rapidly as they can. They
feel that the only requisite for selling
houses in Ocaal is having the houses
to sell, and the yare making every
effort to keep the demand supplied.
