COTTON IRREGULAR

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 4.-The cotton
market has been nervous and irregular
during the past week with sentiment
unsettled by the spread Of the banking
holidays and the action Of the STOCK
market. Slight advances during the
middle OF the week were attributed to
the passage of the Smith-Cotton rehel
bill by the Senate, but there was con.
siderable uncertainty as to whether 1t
would be signed by the President, and
after selling up to sos for May. N4ces
broke sharply with that position de-
clining to 593 on Thursday under heavy
liquidation stimulated by weakness IN
the stock market and the unfavoraole
financial news.
This evidently left the market in an
improved technical position and rallies
followed on covering and trade buying
Prices reached the highest levels OF the
week during Fridays trading, when
May sold at $50 or 81 points up from
the low price Of Thursday and back to
the best price touched on the sdvance
during the first half Of February. Con-
siderable foreign buying was reported or
the upturn. while there was cover1ns
on the rallies in the stock market wh1cr
seemed to promote rather better feel'
ing over general conditions.
Very little Southern selling was II
evidence at any time during the week
and the absence of pressure from tna
source was reflected by a comparative
scarcity Of contracts whenever hquida'
tion slackened, and the market has beer
sensitive to moderate orders eithel

CHICAGO. March 4-United States
wheat supplies this season promise now
to be closer to an exclusively domestic
basis Of use than has been the case for
years.
Trade estimates current today indi-
cate that the country possesses at pres
ent far less wheat to come from grow
ers' hands than generally was expected
and that there has been surprising do
mestic disappearance Of the grain. In
addition, comprehensive unofficial ad-
vices covering Kansas, Nebraska, Okla
homa. and Texas suggest that around
100000 acres Of wheat seeded last
Fall are to be abandoned as practically
unfit to harvest.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning was 1s-7s cents higher

of, and provisions cents to 80 cents
up.

growth condition for Winter wheat ever
known. Meanwhile an official report

RAIL LWAYMEN WATCHING
EFFECT OF FARE CUTS

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 4.-Railroads IN
the Eastern and Western regions Will
watch with interest the experiment OF
the Louisville & Nashville in revertlng
to a 2-cent mile base passenger rate
in an effort to coax back some OF the
business lost to the busses.
BY its action in asking the Interstate
Commerce Commission to approve
adoption Of this rate in day coaches,
and a 3-cent-a-mile rate in Pullmans.
the L. & N. seems politely to be dis.
agreeing with the verdict Of the Joint
Committee OF Passenger Executives,
which recently reported to the COM
mission that 1t saw no likelihood OF q
gain in revenues from lowered rate.
As a matter of fact the passenger
rate structure is not so firmly anchored
to the base rate as the official tariffs
indicate Western roads are offering
milage books at 81 cents a mile. a rs
per cent reduction from the existing
schedule and carriers in all regions are
running low rate excursions. Some also

DEBTS. BUDGET AND DOLLAR
STATUS AFFECT WORLD TRADE
Economist Points Out Problems to Be

Be Definitely Started.

all foreign balances. For q time. It
seemed that America would not be able
to stand the constant drain upon her
stock Of gold. The so-called gold
standard was In danger. Tmid souls
disposed Of their good American dol
lars and purchased francs and guilders
Before many weeks elapsed. Europe had
withdrawn all or nearly all the yellow
metal she had kept in New York The
American dollar triumphed.
Danger at Home.
Today. the danger does not come
from Europe. Europe knows better. It
is Americans who fear lest the dollar
should collapse. They are raiding their
own currency. They withdraw fran
repose In safety.
What becomes Of these withdrawn
funds? Do they go into the channels
OF industry and commerce. or are they
boarded in places from where they may
easily disappear? In some cases, funds
are converted into gold. This seems in
defensible, because If the United States
were, Tor some reason as yet unknown,
to leave the gold standard, there is no
doubt that law would be passed pro-
hibiting the trading In gold. Gold
would occupy the same position as do
alcoholic beverages. which can be and
are bought and sold, even though the
law does not permit 1t.
1t is apparent that confidence cannot
easily be restored, especially when
every day brings news Of more States
joining the bank holiday" procession
Would it not be desirable If the Gov
ernment were to announce that. dur
ing the period Of uncertainty, bank de-
posits would be protected?
Arguments Against Measure,
There are two arguments against
such measure. One is the contention
that the Government cannot undertake
to assume responsibility for $5O. .00O..
O0O.OOO OF deposits. The writer main
tains that the mere announcement that
deposited funds are safe would not only
stop forthwith all Withdrawals, but
would bring considerable sums back to
the banks.
The other argument is the fear that
guaranteeing deposits places a premium
on bad banking. This argument is
completely annihilated by the recent
experience in connection with testimony
gwen by the country's mighty monarchs
OF finance before the Senate Commit
tee on Banking and Currency, Of which
senator Norbeck, Republican, of South
Dakota, is chairman.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 4.-Debts-Na-
tional and intergovernmental-the bud
get and the status Of the dollar are the
three principal problems which face
the United States at this time; and un-
less they are disposed Of at an early
date it is hard to adopt an unquali-
f1edly optimistic attitude as regards the
immediate outlook.
The new administration will begin
business with a Gebt of more than
$2l ,000, 100000, equivalent to about
sl65 for every man, woman and child
living in the United States. Consider
ing the vastness of the country's re-
sources. the debt Of the country IS not
only not heavy, but even an increase IN
the total could not be viewed with
alarm. Leading European nations, with
resources much more restricted than
those of the United States, have q
much higher debt and carry much
heavier burden.
Debt Is Internal.
There is an additional advantage
which America enjoys. Her debt Is
entirely internal. Her bonds are held
chiefly by her own nationals. She has
no exchange problems to solve. Europe,
the Far East and whatever few Latin
America nations are still paying on
their debts owe large sums abroad, and
even If their internal economy pro-
duced enough to meet home require
ments. they are oftsn unable to secure
enough foreign exchange to meet ex-
ternal commitments.
The balancing of the budget of the
United States has been receiving en-
tirely too much attention. Economists
and bankers. especially the bankers. are
alarmed at the steadily mounting def
cit, that is an excess of expenditure
over revenue. Why the concern? The
United States has for years operated at
what one might term substantial
profit. She has built up a material sur
plus, and it is not unreasonable to draw
upon such reserves in times of falling
profits" especially when the surplus,
visible and invisible, which has been ac-
cumulated in years of rising profits, is
sufficient to enable the country to
weather extended periods of adversitv.
Once more. fear is entertained In
most circles lest the Government enact
legislation designed to cheaper the
dollar. A year ago. 1t was Europe
which feared such a move by the United
States The old continent, remember
ing vividly the experiences with de-
preciated currencies, began to call home

OTTAWA, Canada, March mo
Canadian bank has shut its doors and
no financial institution of any inpor-
tance has ceased business since the
federal government in 1891 asked
Parliament for authority to maintain
the integrity Of Canadian institutions.
Such has been. Canada's financial
standing as given by Premier Richard
B. Bennett, who defended the record
Of his administration last night in the
House of Commons during debate on
the governments unemployment relief
extension bill. which asks for s20,000,-
600 for direct relief this year.
BENEFITS speech did not close the
debate, which lasted until nearly mid.
night. 1t will be resumed next week.
I'VE took care to ask this Parlia-
ment that we might be able to deal
with every matter that might arise in
connection with the government Of the
country to maintain the integrity Of
our institutions" said Bennett. by
reason of this fact. no Canadian bank
has shut its doors and no financial
institution of any importance in this
country has ceased to carry on busi-
ness"
Bennett castigated the opposition
leader. w. L. Mackenzie King and his
followers for their criticism of the goe-
ernment's policies in the economic
crisis. Pandemonium broke loose for
few minutes. Members rose to their
feet, pounding their desks. Bennett
and Mackenzie King were standing
and even to veteran solons It looked
for time as if the latter, waving a
clenched fist, intended abandoning
parliamentary decorum and settling the
matter then and there by other
methods
Bennett, his face deep flushed with
anger, was in an equally animated pose,
glaring at his opponent. But feeling
subsided.
