Cotton lis Lower
In Quiet Trading;
Support Is Absent
Continued Unimprovement
in Goods Trade Here and
Abroad Depressing. Fac
tor; Little Selling Pressure

The cotton market was quiet yester-
day, with slight opening advances fol-
lowed by declines under scattering
liquidation by recent buyers and rather
more hedge selling by the South. Offer
ings were not heavy or aggressive. but
there were comparatively few buyers,
and the decline extended from 1850 to
l1.54c for May contracts. That month
closed at ll.60. with the general mar
ket closing steady at net decline Of
19 to 25 points.
The decline was promoted by weak
ness in grain and stocks. The impres-
sion created by ealy bullish advices
was modified by later reports of con-
tinued depression in British trade cir
cles and continued talk of domestic
mill curtailment.
Southern spot advices were rather
conflicting. AS officially reported, the
Southern spot markets were unchanged
to IS points lower, with middling quo
tations ranging from l0.25c to l2c
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 20 points lower, at 11.40c
for middling. No sales were reported.

Suggests Partial
Cancellation of
Allied War Loans
+. l. Kent Urges Plan as
Aid to Foreign Trade;
Believes Insistence on
Whole Surn Wrong View

CHICAGO, March il.-Snrr.sticn
tAst the portion Of the $4,000. 900 900
Allied Indebtedness to the United
Ststes government arising out Of credit
advances for dIrect war purposes be
cancelled was made tonight by Fred
I. Kent, vice-presideut OF the Bankers
Trust Company Of New York and di
rector Of the foreign exchange division
@. the Federal Reserve Board. Mr..
Kent was speaking before the Invest
meat Bankers Association on interna-
tioral commercial and financial reIa-
tionships and the Foreign Trade
Financing Corporation, of whose
executive committee he is a member.
With q possible $4,000. 1000 900 being
cwed American manufacturers. pro-
ducers, banks and individuals BY Euro
lean countries, is 1t wise for us. Mr..
Kent asked. to insist hlindly upon pay
rent OF the Indebtedness of the Allies

further SIC 900 900 900 when practically
the total sum Of $4,000 600 900 must
be received by this country in imports
Of commodities before further imports
can be accepted IN payment for our
exports
The credits extended to our allies, -
asid Mr.. Kent, were rot all used for
direct war purposes. Expenditures for
ether purposes undoubtedly contrib
uted 20 10 ability Of the Allies to
carry OF the war. yet as events devel-
ored their influence was probably more
srgeiy felt IN better conditions IN the
Allied countries after the armistice. A
very clean line OF demarcation can
probably be drawn between expendi-
lures which went directly through TO
the battlefelds and those which were
made for other purposes.
-In a large sense the division would
probably be along the lines Of money
which was spent for purposes of de-
struccion and money which WIS spent
for purposes of construction. In com-
ing TO decision as to the classification
Of expenditures. no friction whatever
need develop between the Allied gov
ernments and the United States. as the
matter would not De one OF negotiation
because the American governru ent Z
would have the full power to dete rhine
such classification, and without consul
tstion. with other governments unless
Il desired TO Go so.
"ls the Allied indebtedness TO US
were divided in this manner, partly
cancelled and partly maintained, the
integrity OF an obligation would not be
teopardized. foreign trade difficulties
