GERMAN LOAN WOULD
REDUCE PAPER MARKS

If Germany be granted loan OF sub
stantal proportions. as result or the
Paris banking conference, she will be
able soon to place herself in position
In which sac can balance her budget and
stop the reckless printing of paper
marks according to Leopold thinner
man. an international banker. Mr.. Zim-
norman said:
Europe at last realizes her salvation
lies in the rehabilitation of Germany.
and they also are conscious of the fact
that a rehabilitation of Germany can
only be effected through successful
actation OF large international loan.
which is designed to partly help Ger
many make her reparation payments
and partly to help her get on safe
economic footing at home. II is to be
hoped that in her own interests France
will abstain from placing further OBJ
stacles in the way of such a loan. and
II a sound basis of security can be found
there is no reason why loan OF large
dimensions cannot be fioated.
THE farsightedness of Mr.. Morgan,
who knows the pulse of the American in
vestment market, will bring to this con-
ference for the first time spirit which
will be free of any political or diplomatic
influence calculated to place this meeting
on a strictly economic footing. If Ger
many is granted loan of substantial
proportions feel that within a compara-
lively short time Germany will be able
TO place herself i'm such position that
she can within a certain degree balance
her budget and stop the reckless printing
OF paper marks"

New York gunmen migrating from thu

haven police to be using that place as
a port OF entry into Germany and to be
Iaraely responsible for the recent orgy
of lawlessness that has been gripping
some German seaports. The situation
has become SO serious that the Bremen
haven authorit es have added twenty
five policemen to the force. However.
the still inadequate street lighting in the

COTTON Is BETTER
UNDER COVERING
Profit Taking Near Close Part
~ Cancels Gain of 20 to
30 Points.

A week end covering movement, led by
shorts in the July position. carried yes
terdays cotton market some 20 to so
poS1ts net higher before enough profit
taxing set in to cause any reaction.
Prices were 10 10 points better than
Fridays close at the final gong. The
two-hour session was devoid of anything
spectacular. Shorts evidently were un-
easy because of reports of improving
spot demand. prospects for unsettled
weather over the week end and the
higher stock market. The low barome-
ter in Texas caused scattered buying
from New Orleans. spot houses and local
operators. which more than balanced the
amount of offerings in the ring.
The American Cotton Association. an
organization of Southern growers. issued
report which placed the condition of
the growing crop at 6S per cent. of nor
NAL. indicating a crop of only S,50o,00o
bales. The estimated acreage is 33, O00,-
900 acres.' Week end statistics aroused
no particular interest in the trade. Fall
Rivers sales of last week were 10000
pieces with a. curtailment of 10000.
Marshall Field & Co.. in aweekly review
OF the dry goods situa ton, said that
Wholesale distribution showed no great
change.
All in all. the market was a compare
lively narrow affair. The bigger opera
tors, it seemed. were not taking on any
new lines of long cotton. but neverthe-
less were not letting go of any that they
had. The proximity of the first Govern
ment condition report led many traders
10 stay out OF the market and the possi-
bility OF changes in the wea ther by Mon
day naturally made for a good deal OF
caution.
The local spot market was quiet and
steady. net unchanged at 2l.50 cents
pound for middling. The New Orleans,
market was steady. % points higher at
2050 cents for middling. Its sales were
of 1888 bales.
