With the exchanges rising. the nat

the exchanges finally did give evi-
dc noes of a reaction. which may
have marked a halt in the wave Of
American buying of foreign securi-
ties. the accumulated bills made
their appearance. The ensuing
sharp reaction in turn has tended to
curb foreign buying OF our raw ma

event which has put India In the

CHIEF FINANCIAL MARKETS
MAINTAIN STEADY TONE
Grains and Foreign Exchange Show Re
lated Tendency to React.

While the grains and the foreign
exchanges have shown a perhaps
not unrelated tendency toward re-
action, the undertope in the chief
financial markets has cont 'nued to
be rather remarkably steady. Bonds
have been firm, stocks have shown
little deviations from recent levels
and another little wave ease has ap-
peared in the money market Cot
ton has held well despite the British
and Indian news. and sugar has
showed up slightly to a new high
for the year. Altogether. the posi-
tion has been well maintained.
reaction in grain prices is. Of
course. quite natural after a rise as
pronounced and sustained as that
which has taken place this year.
More favorable weather in the
Southwest and indications that ear
lier ideas of crop damage will have
to be revised undoubtedly have
played a part in the weeks decline.
There have been signs, however.
that foreign buying, which was an
important factor in the advance,
has become more intermittent. In
addition speculative profit taking
doubtless has, as usual. played its
part in the movement.
Foreign Exchange.
The behavior of the foreign ex-
change market meanwhile is such
as to strengthen the view that the
recent advance was arrested by the
appearance Of a considerable supply
OF commercial bills. European buy

non-ferrous metals has been fairly

DEMANDS ON RISE

According to latest cable adviccs
by the textile division of the Bu-
reau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
pHerce an Increased demand for cot
ten goods in Chinese markets may
ssoon be expected. American exporter
and manufacturers should. therefore.
the textile division says, be makiHi;
active preparations to re-enter these
markets as soon as possible.
Greater optimism prevails in the
Shanghai piece goods market than
has prevailed for some time past
This is evidenced particularly in moro
active bidding at the auction. Tha;
the shortage OF cotton goods in the
interior markets of China has been
underestimsted is beginning to show
itself. Buyers are inclined to stock
up in anticipation of further market
improvements. The rate of clear
S-nces has been good up to the be-
ginning of the Chinese New Year,
indicating that there was plenty of
money to finance New Year settle
mentS.
The Hankow market has recently
shown considerable activity together
with satisfactory clearances. This is
in contrast to advices received at
the textile division earlier in the
year.
Two sample books containing
swatches of cotton goods and silk
goods sold in the South Manchurian
market have been received by the
textile division and have been for
warded to the New Yory district
office for inspection by interested
exporters and manufacturers. The
manager OF a local firm at Antung
states that all of the goods repre-
sented by the samples find a good
sale throughout this district. and that
American goods OF the same style.
more especially cotton shirtings. and
sheeting. will find a ready sale here
1t is understood that the American
goods will. in all probability. be un-
able to compete with the low prices
of the japanese products. but the
superiority in quality should offset
this disadvantage.
There are several firms in Antung
and surrounding territory, who are
desirous of securing stocks of Amer
lean cotton. the origin of which they
are certain. American firms inter-
ested in this field can. by referring
their representatives in China to the
American Consulate at Antpng be
put in touch with these firms. The
volume of business to he obtained by
such connections can be Gauged by
the fact that oPe firm. although by
no means the largest firm interested.
has daily sales averaging approx
mately L. s. s1.6O0.OO throughout

tion represents the sale of piece

CURB MART ENJOYS
STRONGER TREND
Movements Firmer Than Day
BY Day Trading Indicated
During Past Week.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE
market conditions and movements
on the New York curb exchange
had a far stronger character than
reports of the trading day by day
indicated during the past week. In
that period many issues reflected
persistent accumulation for special
reasons. motor stocks demanding
most attention chiefly because of
the general activity in those issues
both on this board and on the
New York Stock Exchange. Durant
Motors was the chief feature of the
group. moving from IS 3-s to 81 and
the Indiana shares rose from IL to
IA 3-s. Continental Motor was also
active and strong, advancing from
SIS to 8 SIS. Goodyear Tire rose
from 10 LIS to IL 1-2 and then re-
acted to 10 1-2.
Tobacco stocks were also active
''B'' in which the dealings were on
a large scale, that stocks advancing
from Al "a to A rs a new high
record. The movement is assumed to
be connected with the application
to list these stocks on the New York
Stock Exchange. Hudson Tube is
sues were actively traded in, Hud-
son Company preferred advancing
from 10 to 10 "a and Hudson and
Manhattan common ranged from
5-S to ) Ii. New Jersey Zinc
was another strong feature, advanc-
ing from 139 to the new high rec
ord of 146. There was an active
demand also for Postum Cereal
which rose from 5S IL to 81.

ness. falling from % 1-2 to 80 "a
and the rights fell from S3 to so

were irregular movements in the
petroleum stocks. Over so, 900
rights of Pure Oil were traded in
at so cents to Slip. Cities Service
dropped from 100 to 1856 and then
rallied to 1872. In the, low priced
issues Mexico Oil was a prominent
feature. making a substantial ad-
vance. Maracaibo after selling at

Rising Cotton Production
Costs Seen in Germany

Production costs of the German
cotton industry have risen cOntinu-
ously. says Consul Dawson at Munich
in a report to the Department of
Commerce. waEes alone having in
creased from so to 100 marks during
the past year. At present exchange
rates German textiles have reached
world market prices. as is apparent
from Manchester quotations as well
as offers from Alsatian mills II
must further he remembered in this
connection that foreign offers are for
finished goods for Immediate de-
livery. whereas German mills can
quote for delivery only in two or
three months. plus an additional
delay Of eight to ten weeks for
preparation for shipment In view
of price and exchange fluctuations.
this entails a heavy risk for pur-
-''hasers. and many wholesalers
openly state that they prefer to pay
a somewhat higher price for foreign
goods Immediately available. Were
German mills to work for stock in
order to have goods on hand of
prompt delivery. the burden of f.
5nancinE the operation from the pur-
chase of raw cotton to completion
of the product would require from
fifty to sixty times as much capital
and credit as before the war.

Readjustrnent Era
Continues in Italy
Industrial Improvement Fails
To Last, and General De-
preston Is Expected.

The slight Improvement in the in
dustrial situation, which was re-
ported last month. has not been
maintained. says Commercial At
tsche MacLean at Rome. In a cable
to the Department of Commerce.
and there are increasing evidences
of a general business depression.
New capital for Investment in in
dustrial undertakings Is decidedly
limited. and -eyen the soundest en-
terprises are obliged to get along
with the accommodation that Is
strictly necessary. The banks are
under exceptionally heavy pressure
at a time when their resources are
already to large extent tied up in
loans which cannot be liquidate ted
except very gradually.
In spite of increased revenues
the state is still faced with a heavy
deficit. which is being met by in
creasing the floating debt. which Is
now estimated at 5o.o0o.O00 lire.
While progress has been made, It
has been necessarily slow, owing TO
the general economic situation
which prevents the realization of a
more radical program of taxation,
and to the unsatisfactory political
situation. which prevents the carry
ing out of any radical program OF
effecting economies. Textile indus
tries continue fairly active though
somewhat handicapped by shortage
of electric power. which has limited
production. The crop outlook is
slightly more favorable owing to
heavy rains and SHOWS in the
northern provinces. Stocks In all
lines are reduced to the minimum.
and an increased demand will con-
sequently cause an Immediate i'm
provement in prices. Purchases of
raw material are being made only
to meet present reQuiremen
