ImDroVc In EurODe

WASHINGTON, May 10.--(A. P)-

cloud of business depression in Europe
we're seen in England and Italy dur
ing April by American economic OBJ
servers, according to the monthly sum
mary of world trade conditions issued
last night by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce.
In other European countries, how
ever, and in South America, except
Peru, a continuation of the general in
dustrial stagnation was reported. In
the far east considerable financial and
commercial activity was noted.
Except fo- the arrangement of the
industrial situation in Great Britain by
the coal strike, the business situation
was reported more hopeful. The fl
nancial situation was said to be i'm
proving and the cost of living decreas-
ing.
The general condition of the govern
ment finances in Italy was reported
more favorable with revenues increas-
ing.
No improvement in France was re-
ported and in Germany an agitation
was said to prevail for the boycotting
of entente wares.
Depression of Scandinavian trade
was said to continue. Money was re-
ported plentiful in China, as well as
Japan.
The financial situation in Chile, ac-
cording to the report. is gradually
growing worse.

THREE FACTORS IN
 DAYS TRADING WERE CAUSE OF GOOD DROP
The General Market Closed Barely Steady at a Net De- cline of Twenty to
 Thirty Points
By Associated Press

New York, February 17.-After-hoI
 ing steady the greater part of the morning, cotton turned easier owing to the decline in sterling exchange rates, less favorable reports from the stock market and southwestern selling. May contracts broke from 14.2s to 1882 cents, and closed the lowest with the general market closing barely steady. at net decline of 20 to 30 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of three to eight points, and sold about to Is points net higher durin. the early trading on the relatively steady cables and continued covering which came largely from Wall street and local sources. The market was marrow and responsive to comparative ly small orders and met some sellins around 1S.73c for March and 14.60c for July. This caused reactions of several points, but no weakness developed un- til well along in the afternoon when the appearance of selling orders from the south and reports of an easier basis for the better grades in eastern belt sections led to liquidation by re- cent buyers for reaction. March sold off to 13.32c, and July to 14.21c, or 24 to 80 points net lower and about 35 to 40 points below the high level of the morning. Claims that new grades were selling at too low a price compared with middling, and would yield suffi ciently to meet carrying charges for fully a year came in for considerable discussion around the ring, but were not generally considered a factor in the days market. The passage of the emergency tariff bill by the senate was another of the features discussed without apparently stimulating busi- ness. A private cable from Liverpool reported very small market there, with some nervousness over the possi- biiity of renewed troubles in the Brit
 ish coal mines. Port receipts toSay, 14.079. United States port stocks, 1,403,o29. Exports today were 14,421, making 3.257,717 so far this season.

NEW YORK COTTON
New Orleans Cotton nu AaSoain tAd RSAxa

New Orleans, February 17.-Except for a short period in the early trading the cotton market today stood de- pressed below the level of yesterdays close, and last quotations were at the lowest levels showing net losses for the session of 21 to 29 points. Heavies. selling came toward the close, follow ing the receipt of reports that Eng land had declared an embargo on gold and silver. March traded down to |13.1sc, and July down to 13.79c.'
 The steadiness around the opening was due to denials from apparently authoritative sources that the south ern mills were closing down, but after advances of to il points, witch car |ried March up to 13.55c, increased of ferings were met as the result of claims that higher grades of spots were easier in some interior markets. The decline was widened by rumors of fresh labor troubles among English coal mines. but around mid-session the downward movement was checked mo- m entarily by the tendency of the short side to take profits. the market acting heaIthily from the technicri standpoint at this stage.
 A little later the news of $1, 900, 900 bank failure in the middle west and the raising of federal reserve discount rates in the Dallas district stimulated fresh selling. and from then on to the close the market was under considera- ble pressure.

EMERGENCY TARIFF BILL
 FIGURED IN PRICES IN
 THE CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
By Associated Press

Chicago February 17.-Wheat
 traders confronted today by the ap-
 parent Likelihood that the emergency
 tariff bill would be vetoed by Presi-
 dent Wilson overlooked or ignored a
 possibility that action by the Presi- dent-el might suddenly change the
 outlook. Values sagged from lack Of
 support and closed heavy at 2A @3c
 net lower with March $1.6SH @ 1.6SH {,
 and May $l.59@ 1.59M. Corn lost A e hc and oats @1hc. Tn provisions the outcome varied from Sac decline to 7c advance.
 Except during the first few minutes of the session the fate of the emer- gency tariff attracted but little atten- tion in the wheat pit. Fair buying, which took place at the start, was ascribed to the fact that the bill had finally passed boh houses, but then the subject seemed to pass out of notice and it is certain that comparatively few dealers were aware of Chairman
 Fordney's departure from Washington | to confer with MT. Harding as to pro- posed enactment of new emergency 1 bill immediately after March 4, minus | any veto Bearish sentiment which
 dominateds the market throughout the 1 remainder of the day was due largely 1 to cooler weather, condition assumed | to be more or less of preventive or crop damage by green bugs. Consid- erabre selling was based also on bank ! failure at Sioux City. Ia Increased rural offerings of corn tended to weaken prices for corn and oats. Pro- 1 visions averaged lower in line with grain and hogs

Iron and Steel Review


 Cleveland, O., February 17-tspeciai.)- )--
 The Iron Trade Review today says
 Little order has been brought to the
 confused market conditions iii iron and steel by the developments of the past
 week. A general movement among inde-
 pendent producers in various lines to
 ioir with those who had taken the in-
 itiative in price reductions in the pre-
 yious week is in progress, though a dis position to act cautiously until the trade
 outlook is better defined still marks the policies of a number of the more inn ! portant interests at the same time. It is freely recognized that competitive market on the lowest basis has been es' tablished. and scarcely an independent mill, it is indicated would refuse to meet the situation to protest itself. The Steel corporation plants continue to auote prices B to $10 per ton higher than their competitors in a number of finished pro- duets. and are shipping actively against a large order book on that basis Sub sidiaries of the leading interest report 1 that cancellations or suspensions of busi- ness on hand, due to the lower prices Of the independent makers. have been ne eligible Nevertheless it is apparent independent mills as whole are re- ceiving larger fraction of the going new business than recently WAS the case At Pittsbur@ 4.eo0-ton plate order was placed. On the whole the reuuctiOHS Sc1Hi I to have had the initial effect at least, of causing buyers to hold off.
 Reduced prices have come forth this week in some steel products not included | in the list first cut. Prominent among these are wire products which have been lowered s per ton with the exception Of nails by several independent makers. The Midyaie Steel and Ordnance com pany now is quoting shapes and plates at
 minimum of 21oc to 2.Sc PittsourE. This is lo.:er than the basis originally put out. Tiops and bands are obtainanie flower. but shafting. tin plate and tub ular goods are firm. Another reduction iu cast iron pipe Is expected soon. The lowering of steel prices has given . renewed stimulus to waEe cuts by in- dependent companies. A 20 per cent re- duction put in effect Wednesday by nve important steel makers in the Mahcning and Shenandoah valleys is being foi- lowed by merchants furnaces in va0ey and surrounding territory and by mills al Cleveland and elsewhere. An interest- ing transaction in pig iron is the pur- chase of c0.0e6 to 15,oco tons of basic from steelmakeFs by Cleveland brokerage in- terests well below $26 The weekly com posite average of the Iron Trade Re l view is 34sSs as against 349 the preced- ling week. $6o.7s two weeks ago and @6i S three weeks ago.
