the same to the Secretary of State as to
his opinion that it be incompatible with
public interest to make public"
Secretary Houston's letter to Secre-
tary Colby follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary-The Judic-
larry Committee of the Senate has un-
der consideration Bill S. 1890, which was
introduced by Senator Reed, and pro-
vides that there shall be revoked and
rescinded the authority granted by sec
ton o. the Liberty bond acts au-
thorizing loans to foreign governments.
The bill further directs the Secretary of
the Treasury to cancel all credits and
commitments made pursuant to said acts
upon which money has not actually been
paid to foreign governments, and directs
BIN not to make any new commitments,
credits or advances under and by viz
tue of said acts. At the hearings, which
by unanimous vote, as l understand, of
the committee are being held in open
session, Senator Reed has asked the
Treasury for correspondence concerning
the establishment of credits and the
making of advances to certain foreign
governments and the mourning by the
Treasury Of commitments in connection
Herewith.
$50 far as the Treasury is concerned
for its own sake there is no reason why
its entire files should not be made pub
lie. The correspondence concerning for
eign loans, however, involves the affairs
of foreign governments and has to do
with our relations with them. In these
circumstances it appears proper that the
Department of State should have an OPP
pOrtunity Of advising the judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate whether there Is any
part Of the correspondence for which
Senator Reed has asked which it is in
compatible for the public interest to
make public. i have therefore prepared
copies of files of such as ] understand
Senator Reed desires concerning loans
to France, Greece, Italy and Liberia AZ
hand them to you herewith with the re-
quest that you examine and transmit to
the judiciary Committee Of the Senate
so much of the correspondence therein
contained as in your opinion 1t is not
incompatible with the public interest to
make public.
"At the hearing on the 21st inst. there
was handled to the committees a file of
copies Of correspondence relating to loans
to the Czecho-S lovak Republic. l am
suggesting to the chairman Of the COM
mittee that before this IS made public
1t be submitted to you for your consid-
Grafton as to whether there is any part
which 1t Is incompatible with the public
interest to make public.
Il enclose a copy of my letter of to-
day to Senator Nelson, chairman of the
committee"

Feb. Is

Wheat-Fridays cables told of pur--
chaseS or round lots Of Argentine wheat
by Germany at 10 to 20 cents less than
United States varieties. In the face or
this Grlmany Saturday bought one cargo
United States wheat Saturday. w hateVer
the reason for this demand the simple
taking of more of our small surplus Is
distinctly worthy Of consideration. The
-four trade, both domestic and export,
appears to be reviving. Southwestern
mills claim a better demand than in
four months. Chicago millers were more
active In market and were taking some
wheat from elevator accumulatiOnS. Eco
monte conditions are still in evidence to
the extent that there Is no breadth to the
investment demand and all operators who
are friendly are acting with caution. As
a matter of fact this makes a healthy
market as there is no oVercOnfdent and
needless demand. The statistical posi-
tiOn shows so little available wheat that
the market viii be sensitive to any I'M
favorable conditions i'll the present out
look. 1t would seem that. the greater pos
sibilities lie on the buying side of the
market.
Corn and Oats-The movement Of corn
from the country being so much larger
than the demand from distributors or
exporters, the market is not showing a
good tone. . Practically all advices from
the interior are to the effect that farmers
have stopped selling, but this Is ignored
In the face of the present heavy move
ment. here is not likely to be any
particular strength In either corn or oats
under the conditions now existing.
Provlsions-The strong hog market has
been offset by the dullness in products
and the dragging tendency in corn. II
Is believed that the movement Of hogs
from the country VIII decrease and that
market will maintain Its present strong
undertone. 1t is also felt that the pro-
vision list will be in sympathy.

In the Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Liverpool ca
bles were mainly responsible for renewed
heavy general liquidation at the opening
of the cotton market today, under which
first prices showed declines of q to 81
points.
Liverpool and Japanese interests were
large sellers and locals and Wall street
interests, which had made purchases last
week on the theory that the Liverpool
market had seen its worst depression,
liquidated their lines this morning.
The south was a small seller. Shorts
furnished the bulk of the demands. but
this buying was insufficient to materially
rally prices.

There was renewed pressure at open
ming on a few issues Saturday, other
wise market was uneventful. Weakness
that developed in Reading was unac-
companied by any explanatory infOrma-
ton. The early selling was credited to
foreign interests. but subsequently local
traders participated and forced a fur
Their decline.
The general volume of business was
moderate; the market looked prOfes-
siOnal, and the commission houses were
less active even than on previous dull
days.
Some observers claim to be able to
detect some accumulation Of stock but
If it is so there is certainly no visible
effect on values. and the only strength
results from a moderate amount Of short
covering such as we had Saturday.
We are simply IN the midst Of a
market where the public has lost in
terest, leaving the market to the mercy
Of the professional element. who usually
try to operate along lines OF least re-
sistance and conditions have favored
them in depressing values.
As business recovery has been slow,
conditions in Europe are very unfsyor-
able. There are, however. some elements
in the situation that may result in some
good IN the near future. Among these
the gradual improvement in the credit
situation is of utmost importance.
While we see nothing very encoura g
ing at the moment. we continue to feel
that we have created a technical situa-
ton I'm the market, which will be mighty
helpful the moment there is least en-
enlargement from business channels.

Banks and Trusts

Quotations Of almost a score of local
banks and trust companies were stricken
indefinitely from the list of the local
errors stating that trade among them
had become so light that it was no
longer advisable to carry quotations on
them or trade in them on the ex-
change.
Local bank authorities said that the
light trade in their stocks was due to
the closeness with which they are held,
and it WIS an inconvenience to furnish
the quotations.
