Add to Government Worrles

BERLIN, Sept. 26.-(By The AS
sociated Press). Not the least of Ger
man governments worries at pres
ent come from the alarming reports
from the Rhineland where the sep
aratists are showing increasing ac-
tivities. They now have created a
general directorate" which has con-
voked a grand rally to be held at
Dusseldorf next Sunday for the pur-
pose of proclaiming a Rhineland re-
public.
The French regime is said here to
have agreed to place seventy rail-
way trains at the disposal of the
separatists. who believe the situation
created by the German governments 8
abandonment of passive resistance
offers a suitable moment for the
accomplishment of their designs.
The secessionists have organized a
special police force, which is to be
clothed in green uniforms, similar
to those worn by the Prussian green
police"
The German press in the Rhine
land admits the gravity of the situa-
ton arising from the secession senti-
ment and declares this will material
ly complicate the impending negotia-
tions with France. 1t gives warning
that the strength of the movement
must not be under estimated.
"Rhinelanders, be on your guard
the Cologne Gazette captions its edl-
torial which remarks that the veil
of secrecy with which the separa-
lists have attempted to conceal their
Vaccinations now has been removed.

JAPANESE ISSUES

 City of Tokio 5s dropped 10 points to 65 and then rallied to 66ls, while losses of l to 3 1-3 points were sus- talned by Japanese government As, first and second 41zs and the Ori- ental Development debenture 6s.
 Considerable interest also was att tracted, however, by the heaviness of British liens, which lost ground as a result of sharp drop in demand sterling to s4.52, a new low record for the year. United Kingdom 5Rs of 1929 dropped 1 M to ~110. new low for the year. while the 51as Of 1887 duplicated their previous low of 101.

PRIOR ADVANCE 'INCOTTON MARKET IS LOST MONDAY

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The cotton market lost rart of its holiday advances during today's trading. The buying movement created by Fridays crop figures appeared to have been checked by unsettling features in the ever holiday news from abroad, and, after some i-regularity, prices broke under liquidation. December sold off from 25.10 to 24.61. or 40 points net lower and 56 points below the high price touched on the govern ment report Of late last week That delivery closed at 24.s2, with the gem eraI market closing easy at net de- clinss of S6 tc 45 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of , points to decline of 5 points, and sold up several points during the early trading on the wet weather map and compai atively steady showing of Liverpool over the Laboc day adjustment. Sentiment was evidently disturbed by news of the Japanese disaster, however, while mere or less uncertainty was also expressed as to the outcome of the affairs between Italy and Greece, and European political conditions generally. This acted as check on fresh business and the market turneG easier during the afternoon under SStNNeSA 4tNuiOdItOils ilaN4l VI oS probably promoted by the outlook for better weather in the south and the failure of demand to brooden on the early rally.
 Liverpool was a considerable seller here on the late decline, and there was also scattered southern selling, in addition to local and Wall street liquidation. October sold off 24.6S, and January to 24.26 or 37 to 49 points net lower. and last prices were within few points of these figures. Private advices received in the trade here stated that the cotton mills of Japan had not been invnlved in the disaster, with the possible exception of few mills near Tokio, compris- ing about 600,00O spindles. Liverpool cables attributed the steadiness of the market there to an improving spot demand and a better tone in Manchester as result of increased inquiries from China

NEW ORLEANS COTTON F1Irr-REs
NEW oRLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 4.-The naws from Japan was the controlling influence In the cotton market today. and under it the tone was poor from the opening, but the last few minutes of the day brought the lowest prices of the session. The clos iug range of sales ran from 45 to 52 points, while inside prices on the close showed net losses on the day of Al to 52 points October closing at a range of 24. 05c to 24 Joe pound.
 The opening was lower. under a general feeling of uncertainty, and early losses amounted to 24 to 27 points, after which enough buying came in to cause recoveries to within 10 to Is points of last week s close. This was the only period of the session when anything approaching steadi- ness was on display. Selling was renewed, and during the remainder of the day the market sagged In slow way until October touched 24.05c. The weakness of sterling exchange and rumors of unfavorable Eu- ropean political news contributed to the easiness.
 The weather over the belt during the holidays was regarded as being more un- favorable than otherwise, 1t being consd- cred that too much rain had fallen es- pecially in Texas but this had almost no effect on the markets. Complaints were that open cotton had been badly damaged by rains, which were heavy in some To- callties, and some sections wired in that picking was being interfered with, both by rains and scarcity of pickers.
