(By International News Service.) |
WASHINGTON, April 23 —Effectivev at noon today an order was
issued this afternoon by J. H. Rossetter, chief of operations of the ship- |
ping board, establishing a surcharge of 25 cents per 100 pounds on |
cotton from Atlantic and Gulf ports for London and Liverpool. This
action was taken in view of the serious delays at those two ports in
discharging cotton ships. The surcharge was made in lieu of demur- |
rage and will continue in effect until discharged conditions improve, it
was stated. Charge will not be made on bookings made prior to nobn
. today.

Cotton exhibited a reactionary tendeney during the early trading
Wednesday, with business more or less light and confined to professgionals.
Liverpool failed to meet the full advance due. This, together with favor
memmmssiasesmomeres ble weather and fear that final peace settlement might
R be delayed, encouraged further realizing and pressure
sST from the bears’ rank for a reaction. First prices on the
Y ; New York exghange were 17 to 34 points down on new
* A i contracts and 10 to 28 points lower on old style. leer-j
b pool turned a seller after the call, which was followed
e % o.M BY offerings from Southern interests and commission
@ g houses, Offerings were not as rapidly absorbed as on
ew . T 8 Tuesday, the old bull crowd apparently desiring to.
S i i @await a further reaction before enlarging their lines, or
\’X"‘ b replacing soldout lines. Nevertheless, the market holds |
; - remarkably strong in view of the recent advance of |
EUEES e |
* B nearly 5 cernts a pound-—October rising from 20 cents
CEEE . N B to 24.85 during the interval of from March 31 to Mon~f
day, last, without noticeable interruption. |
<¢3\ Under this pressure new contracts receded'4o to
fl"a{;‘« 50 points before the noon hour, with May dipping to
s 27.02, July 25.70, October 24.10 and December 23.65.
~- Futures at New Orleans reacted 20 to 47 points, with
————seee (1181 ant options showing most weakness.
As stated in these columns Tuesday, the Government's weekly weath
er and crop report proved a stand-off, showing progress in planting in cer
tain sections, but slow germination as the result of unseasonably low
temperatures. The report stated that moderate rains on the 15th proved
favorable in Georgia, but subsequent low temperatures caused slow ger
mination and growth, and that planting continues active, with good stands
secured in the South, where chopping llag begun. ’ :
_ CHICAGO, April 23.—May and Sep
tember corn continued to advance at
the opening of the market today, and
new high marks for the season were
again recorded. Opening prices for all
deliveries ranged from 5-8 to 1 7-8 high
er. There was scattered commission
house buying. Later, May rose to 167%,
& net gain of 2% cents. July reached
1.613-8, and September 158, or 2%
to 4 cents up, respectively.
Oats started with a scarcity of of
ferings and fairly active commission
house buying. First ’Frices were at
gains of 3-8 to Ile. rade was only
moderately active, being restricted by
lack of selling. Before noon the list
stood 7-8 to 13-8 cents higher. ‘
First prices in provisions were sharply
higher with scattered buying inspired
by strength in grains and the advance
in hog prices.

k- I-‘ollowi'ng' is the weekly wea.ther“
and erop report, by States: |
TEXAS—The weather was favor-!
able for planting and cultivation, but
too cool for normal growth. Cotton
planting is making very good prog
ress, but warmer weather and mod
erate rains are needed for germina
tion. The progress of early planted
is poor because of cool nights.
OKLAHOMA-—The clear, dry
weather was favorable for progress
in plowing and planting. The high
winds and low temperatures were
detrimental to all erops. Frost in the
early part of the week caused no ma
terial damage to truck and fruit. Cot
ton planting is under way in the
southern portion.
GEORGlA—Moderate rains on the
15th were favorable, but the subse
quent low temperatures caused slow
germination and growth. Cotton
planting continues actively. Good
stands were secured in the South,
where chopping has begun,
ALABAMA-—Cotton planting is gen
eral except in the extreme northern
counties. Cotton is coming up in some
middle sections, but growth is very
poor on account of unseasonably low
temperatures.
MISSISSIPPI-—General rains oc
ocurred on the 15th and 16th. Frost
in the northerr districts on the 17th
and 19th caused slight damage. Sil
moisture was excessive the first half’
of the week, but conditions are now‘
favorable. The cool nights were un
favorable for germination and growth,
Planting cotton is making rapid prog
ress.
ARKANSAS—The light rains were
very favorable for planting cotton
and work is ahead in the northwest,
but badly behind in the southeast on
account of rather wet soil, The germ
ination of cotton was retarded by
cold nights, but warmer weather hte
last few days was favorable,
NORTH CAROLINA-—Cotton made
satisfactory progress. Planting con
tinnes in the south and has started
‘nvurly to the northern border coun
ties.
SOUTH CAROLINA--The nights
'were too cool for best growth, with
«light frost damage to tender vegeta
ltlnn upstate on the 18th and 19th.
Recent rains were very bheneficial to
winter wheat. Germination and stands
are satisfactory northward over the
lower Piedmont, though lacking in
vigor because of low temperatures.
FLORIDA-Early cotton and most
of the corn has been worked. But
these crops made poor progress on
account of the unseasonably low tem
peratures, but the moderate rains in
the northern and central portions
were heneficial,
LOUISIANA-—-The planting of cot
ton continues, but was considerably
retarded by heavy rains on the 15th,
except in the south central portion,
where the rains were light,

COTTON NOTES,
Press advices from Paris say a special
meeting of the Supreme Economic Council
will be held Wednesday to try to reach a
decision on the question of permitting a
limited supply of cotton and other raw ma
terials to enter Germany. Should this ee
cur, it will naturally be bullish.

Dry Goods prices are running away In
a bullish direction Last report says:
“Sheetings advanced from 1% to 1% cents
per yard.”

Liverpool futures opened 12 points high

sales 7,000 bales.

2.y 8
The * Times-Picayune says: “The ten
dency towards some reaction after the re
cent advance provefl too strong to be re
sisted Tuesday, although underlying sen
timent continued bullish and the market
rallied prbmptly as soon a 8 the offerings
had been absorbed, Notwithstanding that
the advices from Paris indicated that some
fear existed there that the Germans might
refuse to @ccept the treaty terms, there ex |
ists a feeling of confidence among nwl:-rnl
that the treaty will have te be accepted
and that peace will become an accomplish
ed fact in the very near future.
“The bullish undertone I 8 also based on
the belief that as soon as the hlm-kmh‘l
and other restrictions are removed, thero
will be an urgent demand for eotton from |
Germany and that cotton is needed there |
is indictaed by the action of the P.v-nnulnu-j
Commission of the Peace Congress, which |
has agreed to permit some imports n.m'
Germany of raw materials, mainly cotton, |
to permit the resumption of industial ac- |
tivity there. That there will be a demand |
for cotton from all parts of Central Eu
rope is shown by the arrangements being
made to finance a considerable movement
of cotton to the mills of Poland and the
urgent demand for cotton from the Sean
dinavian countries
“Phe weather recently has heen improv
ing and the crop Is making more satis
factory progress, hence a rather hearish
weekly crop summary is expected. Favor
able weather will prove a bearish factor
until it is known to what extent acreage
has bheen reduced ns a result of the active
campaign which has heen conducted for
acreage reduction in view of the consider
able surplus of the old crop that s apt
to he carried over Into next season'

NEW YORK, April 28.—The general
list fluctuated within a narrow range
at the opening of the stock market to
day, but after some stocks showed a
wavering tendency, a firmer tone de
veloped and some substantial gains
were recorded
Ajax Rubber attracted attention,
moving up 5 points to 86%. Unitéd
States Rubber passed 389, American
Steel Foundries continued its upward
movement, advancing % to 97, and oth
er steel equipments, including Ameri
can Locomotive and Pressed Steel Car,
were in scant supply, and made mod
erate gains on a small amount of busi
ness.
Steel common sagged off partly be
cause of the lack of confirmation of
stories of advanced prices, ranging from
1001, to 99 3-8,
The Marine issues were in supply
again today, the common dropping 1
point te 37«{. and then rullyin]g to 35&
The oil stoeks were irregular, wit
Royal Dutch of New York making a
gain of 1 point to above 93. Railway
stocks were generally fractionally
her
The feature of the trading after the
“W"l"’f declines was the pronounced
strength which developed in Steel Com
mon, that stock was in enormous de
mand and was bought by many of the
strongest houses on the street, which
forced its price up from 99 3-4 to
101 3-%, a new high record for the year.
This display of strength had its effect
all around the room and advances be
came general.
Missouri, Kansas and Texas moved
up over two points to 103 1-8 and gains
of over one point were made in many of
the low-priced railroads.
Baldwin moved up to 92 and sood
gains were made in the other indus
trial issues. The greatest amount of
gain was recorded in Ajax Rubber,
which rose 7 points to 88, while Good
rich moved up 2% to 74. The shipping
issues were somewhat heavy.

1} ORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF
AN RISING YALUES OF BONDS
w »anVwmmmm
i Do you recall when the 4 pcr cent United States Government bonds
reached 1407
You don't have have to be so very old to recall that. And that fig
ure of 140 meant that the man who bought it at SIOO per hundred dollars
'of face value would be able to sell it for SI4OO. And he had been drawing
4 per cent interest on it annually all the time he held it,
I Rißght now bankers and investment brokers are predicting that the
{present Government security issues, the Liberty Bonds, will repeat the
l‘hifi(m‘_\' of the old Government Fours.
History will repeat itself they say. The records of every great war
|show that the prices of bonds that were away down in the days of the
war and for a time aftrr the actual fighting had ceased. always increased
!as soon as pece ws firmly restored.
| _About a hundred years ago the anoh—-1
onic wars were ending. England had gone
throu‘h a durorno struggle with the
¥rench imperialist. During those strug
gles them{-ncm of English consols, 3 per
cent bonds, ruw from the hl&h mark,
67%, to 541 y, t low mark. hat was
I’é the year 1814. In 1824, ten years later,
the guoutlon- ranged from u{. the low,
to & ‘; the high for the year.
In this same period the French bonds
were undergoing about the same fluctu
ations. The French 5 per cent ‘“rentes”
rose from 80, the high in 1514, to 104.8
in 1824, The{ had fallen as low as 45
in the despairing days of 1814,
Our Civil War Bends
During the Civil War in America, 1861
to 1865, the Government issued many
bonds. During these four years the bonds
sold as low as 3. The low figure of 83
was reached in 1861, when the Union

The figures tell the tale. What finan

it is mighty likely to do in the future.

Here, too, is another fact that must be
taken into consideration in prophesying
the future values of the various Lidberty
Bond issues. Our loans made in Hurorun

where from 5 to 64 and 6 per cent. After
the Victory Loan, the last of the Liberty
Loans, is sold and distributed, after it has
been paid for iln full by the investor,
there will be a roturn to the old interest
charges on money. Money will return to
the old 39 and 4 per cent basis, according
te the financial experts.
Then the Investors all over the world
will go out hunting for gilt-edged bonds.
They will be shopping for the right kind
of investments. They will be looking for
something to buy.
When that time arrives the iLberty Bond
issue will increase in value for there will
be nothing bLetter in the werld, from the
standpoint of a {wrmnnvm investment, In
fact it is very doubtful if there will be
auything that will come nigh to equaling
them
The man whe holds a Vietory note
| (short-term bond) or any one of the Lih
erty Bonds, at that time will have some
thing that every investor will want and
be willing to pay a price for. But the wi%e
man will not want to sell it. He will want
to hold firmly to it in order te have the
steady, high rate of interest and that
absolue safety on his investments,
Last Chance to Load Up, '
The man who loads up with Vietory
Bonds is wise, in the best financial sense |
of the word. It is the last chance to load
up, the lust opportunity to buy a high
interest war loan bond.
There are a great many evidences oven
now that the nation is b«rmnxnx its finan~

rates of money, a lessening of the smount
of paper held by Federal Reserve and
member banks, an inflow of gold coin and
gold certificates into the banks, indicat
ing a greater confidence in the finapcial
Situntion and a decline in the amount of
Federal Reserve notes outstanding. Al
these are favorable signs whose signifi
cance should not bhe overlooked
There is still another advantage that the
United States has now, at the closs of
the conflict We have a very small per
capita debt, simmaller than that of uny oth

mary and Austria do not take imto eon
sideration whatever indemnities in the
way of reparation are laid upon these
countries.
All thig places the United Sfates in a
strong position and naturally adds value
to the Liberty Bonds, Vietory neotes, and
other securities of the Government.
The United States is right now the great
est banking power in the world——po-elm
the greatest banking strength any nation
has ever known. It has such a reserve of
money as no other people ever accumulat
ed. Its power increased something’ like 60
per cent during the war, as compared with
& 15 per cent increase in the four years
preceding the year of 1914,
This makes the Liberty Loan of the Fifth
or Victory issue one of the strougest prop
ositions that has ever been put before a
nation with money te invest. The concern
back of that lean, the United States Gov
ernment, was never stronger financiully
than it is today and that strength is the
combined srength of the wealth of all its
people.
