COTTON MARKET {
LIFTED OUT OF RUT
Influx of Business Orders
From Wall Street and West
Trade Is Factor.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE cot
ton market was lifted today out of
the rut 1t had been occupying for
the past two to three weeks by an
influx of business orders from Wall
Street stock operators and Western
grain traders from the overflow of
bullish sentiment which has re-
Gently been influencing those two
markets. While the actual amount
OF such combined purchases was
not a heavy total. it was suffi-
ciently large to make itself felt in
the market ana to influence at the
same time some coverine of shorts
by trade interests. This develop
ment with the strength in foreign
exchange and more undesired rains
Of somewhat heavy character
over the weekend in the central
part of the belt and South Atlantic
states gave the market a stronger
tone from the opening today than
1t has shown for some time past.
Notwithstanding the continuance of
the cotton mill strikes In Rhode
Island and New Hampshire of the
past six weeks. The weather map
was cloudy and rainy for all over
the belt. with a low barometer in
Southwest Texas and another in
Northern Arkansas.
The export clearances Of cotton
today were about $4,000 bales,
which. with the 1900 bales cleared
Saturday. made the total exports
for the two days since Friday 64,-
900 bales, against $4,000 bales
shipped out for the full period of
this week last year. Southern spot
markets were hrmer and higher.
rather generally. with the rise in
futureS
The market made a maximum ad-
vance of 30 to IS points from
Thursdays final quotations. May
went up TO 1880, July 17.55c. Oc-
tober 1850. and next December
deliveries to 17.45c. Although there
was the usual proht-taking In the
last hour by the local trading ele-
ment. the market held most of this
advance, with the continuance Of
a good undertone being displayed
up to the close.

UNUSUALLY BRISK
STOCK / EXCHANGE
DISTRAcTS BONDS
Trade Takes Profits and
-, Shifts to Stock
Transactions.

NEW YORK: April liz sensa-
tionai trading tn stocks for a
greater part Of the day. naturally
distracted the trading in bonds to
some extent. with the result that
many traders having stable paper
profits from last weeks adva nee
sold their speculative bonds and
shifted into stocks. While today's
bond market for, the middle grade
and gilt-edges issues remained hrm,
therefore. and issues which had not
recently received much attention,
advanced, there was marked ir-
regularity among the cheaper rails
which last week rose at such an
unprecedented rate. Nothing like a
break appeared. however, even In
these. groups and before the close
Of market some recoveries were In
evidence.
Foreign List Strong.
Greatest strength today among
bonds came to the foreign depart
ment where active buying all day
brought a long list Of new high
prices. Traders and investors once
more are turning their attention to
the French Republics. which were
strong today and Of which the TVS
set a new high for all time at 1o4E
French municipals also gained with
the three sister 1855 selling around
30. which Is their best price on
record. and the Department of Seine
Is fractionally under .ss. Both Of
the Dutch East indies were heavily
bought and moved forward to 81.
Since the Tresury's announcement
of 3hs per- cent. six month .certif-
Gates last week there has been bet
ter inquiry for strictly eilt-edged
bonds. although. of course. that
type of issues has not competed in
activity or Appreciation with the
cheaper rails. In line with this
movement Atchison's general Is got
back to ssii. which is within n
of a. point of its high made early
in January when Gilt-edged bonds
were having their day, and as COM
pared with Saturdays opening sale
at ssL. ST.. Paul bonds passed on
into new high ground today. the
convertible SIS. for example. reach
ing IS as against Saturdays close
at 57ia and the convertible AIS
touching new hiNhs at 71&. while
the refundings got to 67%. Great
activity appeared among the specu-
lative rails again. 6ut the days
At times buying orders were In
preponderance. and then would come
a preponderance OF selling orders.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Speaking before the National Civic Federation yesterday, General Pershing declared that developments since the victory of the Turks over the Greeks in Asia Minor indicated that the danger to America lies in her becoming in- volved in the troubles of the Near East.
 DEMAND STRONG FORCES
 NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The main tenance of strong army and navy as a means of assuring the safety of the United States during the present trou. bled world conditions, was advocated in the resolutions by the National Civic Federation in conference here.

LEAK IN OCEAN IS
 CAUSE OF QUAKE SAYS SCIENTIST

VALLEJO, Nov. 14.-An explanation of the causes and movements Of the seismic disturbance which has wrought such havoc along the coast or Chile, is given by Captain See, Gov ernment astronomer at the Mare lsi- and Navy Yard, who compares the catastrophe of Saturday with those which visited Africa in 1868, Iquiqui i'll 1877, and Coquimbo in 1922. all Of which, he states, are due to the same cause. Leakages in the bottom of the ocean, says Captain See, by which water beneath the earth's crust is turned into steam, exerts tremendous pressure upon the lava of the earth's interior, forcing it toward the higher elevations of the shore. This removal of lava from beneath the ocean bed weakens the bottom of the sea to such an extent that 1t sinks. When this takes place, the waters of the ocean rush toward the depression until they meet, when they recoil and pour back upon the land, producing tidal wave. Captain See cites an identical pheno- menon in the earthquake which oc- cured at Yakutat Bay, Alaska, in 1899, and calls attention to effects along the shore line which, he says, he expects to hear have occurred be- tween Antofogasta and Valparaiso. Disturbances along the coast at Yaku. tat, he says occurred for a hundred miles, the tidal wave mounting as high in some places as forty-seven feet
