THE COTTON SITUATION ri It IMPROVEMENT IS EVIDENT Increasing Activity of New Financing Reflects Improvement In Money Situation WEEKLY i FINANCIAL REVIEW THE WEATHER. Ti ' Number of Important and Unusual De , . velopments in Stock Market Dar ing Week. , (Special To The Star) New York,. Feb, 13, No better evii'T ence of . financial . improvement could be recorded than the Increased activity of new financing. Immediately follow ing: upon the opening of the war' there was a sharp contraction - in new capi tal applications, the total of which re corded for the last'seven months reach ed about xJ480,000,00O, or $165,000,000 less-than the same time last year. The lowest month was September, when ap plications fell below $281,000,000. - Recovery has been gradual, and In January the totai rose to $127,000,000, or only $3,000,000 beiow the same month In 1914; while the total an nouncements thus far in February al ready exceed' $160,000,000 bonds, in cluding $100,000,000 New Tork Central, $27,000,000 New Tork State, and $15. 000,006 Canadian Pacific, besides a num ber of other important issues. The January total was of course swelled by the Pennsylvania issue of $49,000,000. Total issues in February last year were $176,000,000. A considerable portion of current new issues is for the purpose of adjusting maturing obligations; but the significant feature is that these operations could not have been success fully carried through a few weeks ago; while now it looks as if other import ant flotations will follow, so that this February will considerably exceed the same month a year ago. While we . are facing beyond doubt an urgent demand for capital, it is not likely under existing business de pressionthat there will be any great demand from really new enterprises; This year an extraordinary volume of short term notes and other obligations mature, which wil have to be extended or turned into fixed forms, the latter method being the most probable. - There "is also another and. very sign ificant trend in .the new demands for capital, which is that nearly "every im portant nation in the :" world except Great Britain .is either borrowing in the United States or wishing to borrow. London has practically retired as the world's bank er for the purpose of devoting its whole financial resources to conduct of the war. Of course, this withdrawal is temporary,' yet It offers an unusual op portunity to the United States, because- New York is now theonly free capital market in .the world, and hither will come a large portion of the new capital applications. , At present the. war is being carried n Trniiina: Affair Doubt Fend jliu m 1 ' ins Government's Taking Charge Xew Tork, Feb. 13. The price move- I This is due to the war, went during the week was more or less circumscribed owing Undoubtedly to the impending inauguaration - of federal control of the cotton trade. There is no reason, however, to be ap prehensive over the tax provision of the law because the new contract has been carefully drafted so as to meet til requirements of the act, and is not taxable. The Question of interpretation Of the law is a serious one and has . without -n by .'all belligerents largely by means doubt restrained the trade from mak ing free use of the advantages of the contract market. The phase of the question which seems to . be causing more uncertainty than anything else is tow the Government will supervise deliveries of cotton. No provision has been made for classification 'by federal officers before tender and shippers are confronted with doubt regarding the acceptance and grading of their cot ton. This is probably the chief rea son why certificated"" stocks in New York are so small, and why hedge sell- in? Jias been on such a limited scale. - It is not expected, however, that this restraining influence will be protracted, and when the Government's policies become clearly defind through practical application th trade will have little trnnhia in a rHn ctin cr l cttlf n thA nAV system. One thing seems1 assured, however, and that is that until hedge selling becomes heavier in volume the situation favors the buyer rather than the seller. ' ' There is no falling off in the heavy export movement, nor as far as can be ascertained is there any let-up in for eign buying. This of course is' a" re flection of the improved foreign trade fO'ulitions, as exemplified by the Brit ish Eoard of Trade's recent statements on exports of cloth and yarns which show a big increase over December, and indicate a long step towards the restoration of normal conditions in Lancashire. The amount of cotton awaiting: shipment at our ports is be iievea to be very large. of short, term obligations, although Great- Britainis aiming to pay a con siderable share as current expenses. Later on these war debts will be turn ed into more permanent forms of in vestment. All of the belligerents have established extensive credits in this market, for the purpose of "purchasing war materials,' immense quantities of which are being steadily shipped to Europe. This, movement will continue as long as thet wat lasts, and-Jsprov ing a very vital factor in swelling our exports, large, quantities of ammuni tion, automobiles, clothing, etc., leav ing American ports every week. Our exports are being further ex panded by heavy shipments of wheat and cotton. Meanwhile our importa tions are running very light, owing to the interruption of supplies by the war; and in the week ending February 6th, the excess of exports over imports was estimated at $37,000,000. As a result of these international operations, foreign exchanges has again -declined to the loweft point, since 1907. Gold imports from China and Canada are coming at a moderate scale, and larger amounts would follow were it not for the es tablishing: of the foreign credits , re ferred to abovel It is estimated fhat the present Inward movement may, run as high as $10,000,000, but we do not need gold while Europe does, and un-j der existing conditions it is more ad vantageous to Europe and to the United States to allow these credits to stand. We have thus become a creditor instead of a debter nation. New York, Feb. 14. A number ,of important and unusual incidents gov erned last week's irregular stock mar ket. Prices rose .in . the early period fn response to the. maintenance . of regular disbursements by several of the leading railroads and industrial companies whose dividend stability had been brought into question and made further gains on the excellent ton nage statement of the United States Steel .Corporation for January. The de cision of the Interstate Commerce Commission defining the rate making powers of the railroads running be tween Missouri river and Pacific coast points gave further encouragement. Another interesting development of the week" was the further decline in exchange between New York and Lon don," whica caused the Bank of Eng land to relinquish a part of the gold sent by American bankers , to Canada in. the -early stages : of the - war.: Since the announcements of . the ifirst engage ment, exchange has gone lower and lit tle doubt . is entertained that more of this gold is to now back, fespecially as Aftiericah" exports to the belligerents are approaching unprecedented propor tions.: . - ' - . . - Oyer the . holiday which came on a rising tide of prices, events in connec tion with this country's notes to Eng-f land and Germany gave rise to some conce;rn and' much of the , early, ground was-'lost. The ! short - interest which had?shdwn" ja 'disposition ;to oppose the recent rise,, made fresh commitments as a result of this new situation. Foreign selling- of American securities in the local- market- during the' week was moderate-but - removal of certain re strictidns. on the London exchange and reopening of the Amsterdam Exchange are expected to make such offerings easier. . '. . . General trade, including steel and copper, manifested distinct improve ment during the week and most lines of merchandise made further progress toward the norrrtal. Partial cessation of ;jthe wild speculation In grains and higher prices for cotton, were, helpful to business , as a whole. Railroad earnings are' improving, but. compar isons with, a year ago show contraction of tonnage. United - States - Department of Agricul ture Weatner Bureau. - February 15, 19,15.

The preliminary contest for the making of places on the Trinity debat ing team in the inter-collegiate de bate between Swathmore -.College and Trinity College was held in East Duke building at night between seven and nine o'cVfei The query discussed was: "Resolveu; That the United States Should Abandon... the Monroe Doctrifie". Eight debaters entered' the -contest, three on the affirmative B. W. Barn ard, H. E. Myers, G.' S. Sexton, Jj. and five on the negative- T. G. Allen, A. H. Gwyn, 'A. B. ScharboroUgh, and J. H. Small, Jr.. The men' who made places on the team, in the order named, are: B. W. Barnard, Asheville; G. S. Sexton, Jr., Shreveport, La.; A. B. Former, Bailey; and H. E. Myers, Bicsco, alternate. All of the speakers composing , the. trio are old debaters, representing the best in oratory at- Trinity, and they will doubtless sustain Trinity's record in this sort of endeavor. . ' The debate this year with Swathmore marks the beginning of a new series between that institution and Trinity. The last series between these two in stitutions ended in the collegiate year 1911-12, resulting in a victory for Trin-. ity of two out of three decisions render ed. The debaters representing the two colleges will meet this year at the home of Swathmore, Swathmore, Pennsyl vania, March 12. On the following year the debate will be held here, and the final clash, If necessary will take place on the Swathmore stage. ThDse debates are held under the auspices of the college literary societies, and they represent a -very important part of college activity. The judges at the meeting last night were: Professor R. L Flowers, Doctor Wm. H. Glasson, and Doctor C A. Moore, all of Trinity College. WASHINGTON'S GOOD AOVIGE The Star's Page of Presidents a Fea ture Dont Forget . the Gold. WILMINGTON "PEANUT MARKET. The Govern ment is gathering statistics on this The most important local factor in point. So far figures have been re- I the financial (situation is the abuhd- ceived from only one port: Norfolk holds more than 85,000 bales until freight room can be obtained. This is a large total for a small port, and indicates that delayed shipments at other large exporting points must be in proportion. Little has developed throwing any light on the prospective crop situa tion. Recent dependable advices from -North Carolina, however, suggest a re duction of 23 per cent, in acreage. It is a matter of current comment that ar rangements for fertilizer and other Purchases preliminary to field work are not being pushed as early as usual, 'urchases of horses and mules in south Western markets for cotton growing "e said to be extremely lights while '"e continued high prices for all other agricultural products still remain a strong influence for crop diversiflca- :on.

This is due partly to the dull ness in trade and partly to the satis factory working of the Federal re serve banking system. There has been a steady expansion in loans which now stand at $2,221,000,000 against $2, 180,000,000 at the opening of the year Bank reserves have declined somewhat in consequence, but the surplus last week was' still above $140,000,000. In vestment conditions have Improved as shown by the ready absorption of really high-grade bonds and stocks. Some or the latter are selling at very low prices, compared with current rates for interest. - Stock Exchange, values have been subjected to . sharp fluctuations. The passing of United States Steel's divi dend ..and announcement of -the New York Central's new issue were both signals for hear attacks, although they represented conditions already passed. There was some fear also that the Can adian Pacific dividend r would be re--duced, but these apprehensions proved unfounded. The 'possibility of an extra session for the purpose of passing the Ship Purchase Bill is an unsatisfactory feature, inasmuch as the nation will be glad to see Congress adjourn at its appointed date, March 4th.The uncer tainties of war also caused moderate fluctuations in the security market. There are thus sufficient depressing In fluences to keep the market more or less unsettled and afford the oppor tunity for creating a bear party of some consequence. Nevertheless, in trinsic conditions are steadily im proving; the best evidence of which, as already' stated, is the activity in new financing. - There is a continued gain1 in busU ness confidence, also some, though limited, improvement In the volume of business. Bread Is advancing owing to the high cost of wheat, brought about of course by war conditions. Grain has already - risen dangerously high; and present . ,j?rJes"wtf wally ? yield gratifying-results to the fartnrras all food prices are rising. The Southern cotton planter is also getting a better price for his product. These are com fortables times for our farming" classes, since conditions encourage the largest possible production at good prices for nearly all " agricultural products. Jan uary railroad earnings were exceed ingly unsatisfactory and -often showed large decreases. Yet later freight re turns , show an increasing movement, and there , is reason to hope " that the railroads have seen the worst of-their troubles. In another aspect the tide seems also to have turned for the bet ter; that-Is in the iron trade. In the : (Quoted by J. S. Funchess &. Co.) Wilmington, Feb. 13.

J: (Special Star Correspondence.) ? Greenville, N. C, Feb. 14. The Green ville tobacco market closed its sales for he season Friday, with a record of 20,889,189 pounds. This breaks all for mer records by several millions. Janu ary's sales were 1,032,504 pounds, and for the two weeks this month 168,470 pounds were sold, .making 20,889,189. Last year's sales were 14,959,913 pounds, so the increase over those sales was hear 33 1-3 per cent., a record to chal lenge any eastern market. ' . Prices were good, though not quite so high as last season, but. the tobacco farmers' made money and there is milch tJash among them for this year. The farmers are in- good condition, and are preparedAfor breakers, if they should come.. t It is safe to say. that they are' preparing to save this year and next fall will find them in good condition. - The Farmvllle market sold about 500,000 pounds since January 1st, and that market sold six or seven million pounds this season. Pitt county still leads in home grown tdbacco sold on its markets. .Next season it will break this year's record, in production, sales and satisfaction, is predicted. There is yet some- tobacco in the hands -of "the farmers, and the buyers or warehousemen will continue to han-i die some tobacco for quite a while yet. There may be 150,000 or 200,000 pounds still with tlie farmers. Again Greenville closes its season second among eastern ; markets, and leads- in percentage of gains over lastJ year. ' "Observe good faith and justice to ward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and mor ality enjoin this conduct. And can it be that good policy does npt equally enjoin it? In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations and passion ate attachments for others should be excluded, and. ' that "fn place of them just and amicable feelings toward all should be cultivated." This sentiment has a singularly mod ern, American ring; it might have been uttered yesterday as an appeal and warning to citizens of the -United States in the shadow of the European war. As a matter of fact it was spolc en one hundred and eighteen years ago b- President Washington in his fare well address. In divers ways and at many junctures, the wise counsel of that historic speech has influenced the nation's policy, but never were its ideas more opposite than in the present situation. The Star's Page of Presidents will appear soon. It will be found iter esting and instructive and especially will it please the advertisers partici pating. Contentants should make ready to get the $25 gold prize. .Remem ber, everybody in and out of the city except persons in any way connected with The Morning Star, are eligible to enter the contest. Outside contest ants stand as good a .chance as those in the city. A young lady of Salis bury was awarded the Charlotte Ob server's prize.
