New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans. Marcn w nile the cot ton market stood higher than the close of last week throughout today's session, the greatest steadness was in the early trading when an altogether more cheer full view of the foreign political situation was held than the real facts warranted Determined buying featured the early session and short covering was more or less in evidence throughout the day, fur nishing much needed support in the late trading after what was considered to be serious state of affairs had developed abroad At the highest of the session prices were 43 to 5l points over the clos ing prices of last week with May up to 117Sc. From thi there was descent which did not stop until the gains amounted to only one to five points The close showed gains of l3 to l5 points. May traded down to 11.3ic and closed at II. 42c.
 The favorable view of politics of the early trading was strengthened by the much better Liverpool market than due. This encouraged fresh buying for long account and caused heavy short cover ing Covering increased for a while and was said to be coming mainly from spot houses. Around the middle of the day unfavorable cablegrams from London be- gan to have their effect and prices were at their lowest in the early afternoon. On this soft spot more short covering was done and it had the result of giving the market steady tone on the close.

FOREIGN OUTLOOK PUTS
 DAMPER ON TRADING
 IN CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
By Associnted Prras

Chicago, March 7.-Chances that Cor. man import of grain from the United States through Holland and other conn. lries might be brought to a halt had a Dearlsh effect today on the wheat mar Ret here, and so. too. did rains in the domestic wheat belt The close was heavy 2%@sAc net lower. with March sl.s71s0l. SEA and May si59aD1. .5sh. Corn lost Ac to ssc and oats Ac to 1s6D@sc. Tn provisions the outcome varied from ioo decline to 5c advance,
 Until today renewal of clashinp he- tween Germany and the allies had heer generally construed as A bullish factor in the wheat pit, but definite announce ment that military measures would be taken tomorrow failed to cause any fresh advance in prices. On the contrary. at tention became chiefly directed toward the view that If from no other cause than financial disturbances, the Germ an break With the allies would tend to re- strict or perhaps stop altogether the roundabout movement of supplies from the United States into Germany. Much selling pressure here followed that and the market declined sharply at the last During the earlier trading wet weather southwest had put the bulls at a dis advantage, but considerable rallyiny power was apparent up to the time that orders for allied troop movement eclipsed all else.
 Corn and oats went downerada with wheat, despite sales of 400,00 bushels of corn to the seaboard.
 Lower quotations on hogs made pro- visions decline. but estimates that hog arrivals tomorrow would be light led to something of rally.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York. March 7.-(SpectaL)- Andrew w. Mellon. Secretary of the Treasury at the beginning of Presi- dent Harding's administration is quoted as having said that among the important issues which the treasury department must take up for serious consideration is the one which relates to the funding of the debt which our Allies owe to the United States. The inference of course is inevitable that Secretary Mellon reflects not only his own opinion but that of the President. No thought of the cancellation of this debt is discovered in Secretary Mel Ions comment He Is in apparent agreement with many of our leading men of finance that this debt must be funded, for in that way only can it be handled Apparently, too he agrees with some of the ablest men of finance in the view that ultimately all these debts will be paid. One of the financial advisers who went to Paris in order that he might give counsel to Presi- dent Wilson upon the financial aspect of the situation has been recently quoted as saying that the Allies will pay these debts, although years may lapse before the last payment is made. Meanwhile the debts will be assembled or mobilzed so as to assume the form of negotiable securities, which will bear a reasonable rate of interest and which in due time may be absorbed by the public. Some of the bankers think that even in Great Britain investing capitar may be found by and by tempted to invest in these funded bonds.
 MT. Mellon has accepted responsibili- ties comparable only with those which Gov. Salmon P. Chase faced when he became Secretary of the Treasury in tie first administration of President Lincoln. From some point of view the endorsements and difficulties which Secretary Chase was compelled to meet were greater than any which will con- front Secretary MeNon. For Chase found the credit of the United States greatly impaired. Mellon goes into of flee with the credit of this country at it's maximum. Chase speedily learned that the United States was one of the debtor nations of the world. Mir. Mel lon is well aware that this country now is almost the only creditor na- ton. Chase was compelled by highly artificial means to secure large volumes of currency, going so far at ldSJ dS to lSSue a lOTCeu- loan WnlCn aggregated s450, 1000, 900. It was rep resented by the so- called greenbacks or legal tender notes. Mir. Mellon will not be called upon to provide addition al currency. He is able to turn to the federal reserve banking system in case there should be any need.
 Chase in the early months of his administration visited New York so that he might hold consultation with representative bankers of New York. Boston and Philadelphia in the hope that thy would furnish him the gold of which the treasury was in need and of which it had little or none. They did lend $150,000,000 in gold and then stopped. MT. Mellon takes up his responsibilities in the knowledge that the United States possesses more gold than is in the possession of any other nation and 1t is so strongly fortified
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-03-08

that we can prevent the taxing away of this gold or any considerable part of it, if it be found necessary to put up the bars.
 WHAT CHASE BORROWED
 Secretary Chase was compelled to borrow hundreds of millions. He sought loans of this kind not only from the common people of the United States for the banks were not able to accept all of them, but also in the markets of the world especially London and in Amsterdam. Mir. Mellon will not be forced to borrow excepting through temporary loans obtained upon treas ury certificates, all these loans being made by American banks.
 On the other hand Secretary Chase had no important foreign complica- tions to consider. The United States was at that time almost completely isolated excepting that we were bor- rowers, not only as a nation but as individuals and corporations borrow ing in foreign markets. Today the United States has shaken off the shaekles of isolation. Many are of the opinion that the industrial and finan- cial restoration of the world awaits the leadership and influence of this country. In matters of that kind the Secretary of the Treasury is to be an important influence.
 NOT AS A BANKER
 Presumably aside from certain DOS sible political considerations President l Harding selected Mir. Mellon for the treasury department not because of his pre-eminent success as a banker but chiefly because of the ability he has revealed as constructive force in in dustry in the development of natural resources and in various affairs not directly associated with banking. Tn fact it was not essential that a banker be chosen as Secretary of the Treas ury, but it was essential that a man be selected for this post which with the state department Is to be possibly the leading influence in Harding's ad . rninistration, who had demonstrated unusual ability aS constructive force.
 It has often happened that successes which have become traditional in the financial administration of a nation were achieved by men who had little or no experience in the field of techni cal or practical banking. Gladston, one of the foremost of Great Britain's chancellors of the excheauer never spent as much as an hour in a count ing house. On the other hand Lord Goschen, who was numbered among the very great bankers of England was AIHost 1ailuure as chancellor of the exchequer, while his successor who had been not much more than a coun- try gentleman or lawyer was so sue cessful that his budget has become one of the great traditions of English statesmanship.
 So also it has been the fact that the greatest achievements of our Secreta ries of the Treasury at least since Lin coins day were not secured by techni- cal bankers. Chase was not neither was Boutwell,. John Sherman was not nor was William Windom. They suc- ceeded because they were men of srea, constructive ability. capable of lookinp 2 at an issue from all points of view anu then taking action with wisdom and with determination. This nrohl ably will be characteristic of Mir Mai. Ions administration of the Trea Department ui ,

PREVIOUS GAINS
 LOST DURING THE
 FINAL TURNOVERS
Call Money Was In Free Sup ply at Seven Per Cent, But Time Accommodations
 Diminished
By Associated Press

New York, March 7-During the first half of today's stock market session technical consideration prompted exten- sive covering by shorts, but this condi- ton was sharply reversed later, when cables from London indicated a rupture lin the indemnity negotiations.
 Heavy selling occurred in the last hour, lcanceling previous gains of 1 to points land effecting many losses of light extent. ILiquidation for both accounts became ur- | gent on news that the allied forces had received orders to invade German terri tory.
 Early features of comparatively light strength embraced oils, shippings, steel equipments, feathers, tobaccos and ccp' pers, as well as a number of obscure Ispecialties. Rails were the only laggards Idurng the period, apart from a moderate demand for coalers. Sales amounted to 4S5, 600 shares.
 Domestic developments over the week end ranged from good to bad. Stronger was largely neutralized by January re- turns of some of the more importan' railway companies, nearly all of which disclosed heavy losses in net earnings Western and southwestern points report ed further contraction of business, de- spite lower commodity prices Eastbound railroad traffic is decidedly under that of the same period last year and south ern roads show a marked decrease oi cotton and lumber shipments.
 Call money was in free supply a. per cent, but time accommodations dimln- iished. Leading foreign exchange rates were in no wise affected by the failure of the separations conference, weakness of remittances to Norway and Denmark having no relation, it was said, to tna' situation.
 Most international bonds held steady to firm in the face of the disquietlng TOT egn news, but domestic rails and indus trials eased with the stock market Lib erty bonds. the 31as again excepted were moderately better. Totol sales pal value $9, ,S75, ,000

RENEWED STRENGTH
 SHOWN IN COTTON TRADING YESTERDAY
Close of General List Was Steady at a Net Gain of Only Six to Thirteen
 Points
By Associated Press

New York. March i-The cotton mar ket showed an advance of about 45 to 5S points during today's earlier trading on more optimistic views of the war rcparation conference and higher Liver pool cables. Later advices from London seemed a disappointment to early buy CTS, however. and most of the improve ment was lost with the market closing steady at net gain of only to l3 points May contracts fluctuated be- tween II. 65c and 12llc, closing at 1l.7Sc, compared with H. COG, the closing price of Saturday
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 20 points on the better Liverpool cables which private advices attributed to a more cheerful feeling over the progress of the London confer erce and reports of smaller spot offer ings from the south. There was some
 rregularity right after the call, but Liverpool was a good buyer here. while there was covering by spot house shorts and considerable local buying promoted by the publication of private reports that Germany would accept the allied terms subject to revision in five years and a loan. Later cables failed to con firm this report or to throw any def mite light on the negotiations and the market turned easier during the after noon under liquidation by early buyers. May contracts eased off from 11.65c to ii 24c and July from t2.50c to l2.07c, and the close was within a few points of the lowest. Reports that allied troops on the Rhine have received orders to march forward into Germany tomorrow, oon tributed to the late weakness. Very It, tie southern selling was reported here during the day and there were reports that less distressed cotton was offering in the belt, but there was no improve ment in the news from either Manches- ter or domestic goods markets Exports for the day were 14,2D bales, making 8, ,44e, ,s37 so far this season.
