FRENCH PRESS STILL
 CRITICISlNG TREATY
Rebels Against the Naval Building
 Restrictions

PARIS. March 24.-(By Associated Press.)-Criticism and comment on the Washington treaty continue to appear in the press along the same lines as that followed by the Matin, which says that proportional naval ornaments cannot be considered as permanent binding in the future.
 The Matin supports M. Guernier, president of the merchant marine committee of the Chamber. in his tinuance of the treaty without defi- mite renewal, as events may oblise France to make fresh dispositions if Germany tries to re-establish her fleet secretly despite the Versailles treaty.
 The Paris Midi says:
 If the problem Is regarded with coolness, 1t can quickly be seen that the treaty presents no serious dis advantage to France on the condi- tions that her right to denounce it in 1894 if thought advisable is strict ly maintained"
 A bitter note in the French com ment finds expression in Jacques Bainvilles editorial in La Liberte, in which he says:
 "We were the. victims at Washing ton of an Anglo American combina- ton and two questions of money prevent us from escaping. The first is that we are debtors of England and the United States. who hold us by their claims. The second is that the ravaged state of our finances program.

Cotton Futures Fall $1O to SIP Bale During Week

NEW ORLEANS. March 25.-It was a week of almost constant selling pressure in the cotton market.

DESPITE BOOM IN BUSINESS NOTE OF CAUTION SOUNDED
Industry Continues at Crest, But Some Fear Money
 Rate Boost

NEW YORK. March 25.-(By As industrial and commercial centers still distinctly favorable, the past week has seen the development of a cautious sentiment In speculative quarters. This has been due In part to fresh efforts on the part of the short interests, which have been try ing for reactions fo- some time and which attained fair measure of success during the latter part of the week. It also has been due to a feeling of uneasiness over the course of money rates in general and of the federal reserves rates in particular.
 It is generally recognized that moderately higher charges for credit during the height of the spring movement in trade hardly would be surprising. What primarily interests know whether or not the official rate Is to be lifted on a given date.
 Added interest has been lent to this discussion of bank rates by the fact that the regular bi-yearly ccn- ference of the federal reserve board and the governors of the several regional banks begins tomorrow. The
 
 ly to be of routine character, but some persons assume that the au- thorities are disturbed by the specu- lation which recently has developed in such commodities as sugar, and that higher rediscount rates may be recommended to the regional banks as a remedy.
 Would Restrain Speculation.
 Other quarters are ready to admit that the board wishes to restrain undue speculation, but doubt wheth- CT tho rate remedy will be advo- cated.
 A healthy spirit of conservatism Is to be noted in divers financial and commercial circles. It Is realized that the rise In shares during the last year or SO has been distinctly that further advances In prices are likely, but they emphasize the view that the greater part of the rise probably has occurred. They point out that this Is the time for caution and that overextension at this point in the business cycle is lively to have unfortunate results.
 On all sides thoughtful men are anxious to avoid the experiences of 1920. The desire Is to preserve busf ness from the injurious effects of speculative excesses and to make the revival last as long as possible. Heavy Profit T.ki.s.
 As to individual markets, both stocks and cotton felt the effects of heavy profit taking and selling pres sure before the end of the week. Cotton prices came close to previous highs after publication of the census bureaus final ginning report, which showed a total of s,762,000 bales of 5O17 pounds and suggested that tn a department of agriculture's final crop estimate was slightly larger than the actual. Soon thereafter, however, prices fell away rather sharply, weakness at Liverpool over British labor disturbances helping to start the decline.
 No let-up is apparent in industrial operations. Steel production has grown further and steel prices are somewhat higher.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-26

bale of spot cotton was traded in that being one of the very few days since the trying times around the start of the World war that not a sin gle bale of cotton changed hands here. During the greater part of the week weather conditions over the belt were unfavorable, being too cold and wet, and they had the effect of steadying the market at the decline, but the improvement in the weather at the end of the week and pros- poets of further improvement to come helped to put the market to it's lowest.
 RumOrs Aflont.
 It was the general opinion among brokers and traders in this market that the heaviest selling of the week, precipitated on the closing session, was due to the rumors in connection with the meeting Monday at Wash ington of federal reserve officials to the effect that speculation for the rise in both sugar and cotton would come up for special consideration. This coming week 1t looks as if this Washington meeting will have much to do with the course of prices during the first session. Weather over the belt, however. will probably be the main influence since planting time has arrived for most early sections of the belt. This week will be short and will end Thursday evening be- cause of the observance of the usual Easter holidays, beginning with Good Friday.

 Tutankhamen, or King Tut, as he is popularly known. is being blamed by the department of the interior TOT flood of trade mark applications which have been filed in the patent office since the famous discovery on the Nile.
 Things Egyptian will be the vogue for a time at least, the patent of1ice believes, and the King. Tut traoe mark will be popular, but more on things feminine than masculine as applications for trade marks covering feminine articles outnumber the mas culine.

DIR. SCHUECkING WILL SIT ON FIRST CASE
Will Represent Germany In Trial At
 The Hague

BERLIN, March 25.-(By Associ- ated Press )-The German govern ment has appointed pr. Walter Schuecking. who was one of the chief German delegates in the Versailles peace negotiations, as a supplement tary judge to represent Germany in the first case against her to be tried before The Hague international trib- unal of the League of Nations.
 The case in question is an out growth of a difference of opinion between the German government and the interallied conference of ambas- sadors during the Russo-Polish hos7 tilities iE 1920. The question at issue Is whether the allies had right to take a shipload of munitions bound for Poland through the Kiel canal. Germany refused to permit the trans portation and test is being made on behalf of the British steamer Vim bledon, which was chartered by a French company to transport the munitions.
 Dr. Schuecking is a member of the faculty of Marburg university, is a corresponding member of the Ameri- can Institute of International Law and well known in Germany as a Pa cifist writer.

ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK

An ingenious clockmaker of Mar seilles, France, has converted an or dinary alarm clock into very com plete astronomical clock, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. Without altering the main functions and with slight additions, except for new face, the clock has been made to indicate, on a small dial at the bottom: The phases and age of the moon; the hours of it's passage of the meridian; it's position in the zodiac; the po- sition of the sun in the heavens it's ascension and declination; the equi- noxes. solstices, and seasons; and on the dial at top, he has added an arc upon which a special hand denotes the hour at which the sun passes the meridian; the hours of sunrise and sunset fer all the days of the year, and the length of the days and nights, are given at the right and sidereal time at the left.
