Cotton Prices bave fluctuated over a fairly wide range as there have bees rapid changes of sentiment in the markets. On the whole, the tone has been rather better as there has not been such continuous liquidation. The low quotations at the opening of the week were in fact sufficiently attractive to tempt some buying, and

In the House of Commons, Mr. Lloyd George," replying to criticisms, remarked the inconsistency of the Opposition's deciszation that Germany ought to pay yet opposing steps to make her pay. The Premier did not desire to force Germany to despair. Indeed, the present, sanctions were the best way of obviating that, calamity in a manner compatible with our determination to secure justice. Moreover, the sanctions would undoubt, edly yield substantial practical advantages. The Allies at present received 50 or 60 per cent of the total German'exports. Germany would naturally refuse to sacrifice this huge section of her trade. Consequently Britain expected to receive £20,000,000 during the present year from this action. a wave of covering resulted in an Had Germany made a sincere offer he would have done everything to meet her wishes, but Germany was not yet convinced of the recessity of settling. and von Simons bad not been instructed to settle, bar when she realized that the Allies meant to deal justly and fairly, also only, with her she would be more amenable to agreement that if we were divided in counsels AMERICAN TROOPS ON THE RHINE

advance of about 1d. per lb. for American at Liverpool, but this has again been lost owing to any absence of response in the way of trade purchases. Support from consumers is in fact what is still lacking to give firmness to prices, as the mere weight of the last crop is sufficient to depress quotations so long as therë is no buying of any magnitude. At the same time however, it is to be noted from statistics of the ginning and movement of the American crop, that the Southern growers are hold- ing back cotton to a much greater extent than-has been previously dose. The decision of the Egyptian cotton growers to form an association for the purpose of holding 2,000,000

cantars of cotton for a minimu price is also confirmed. The price fixed in this instance is 2/5 per lb. which is of course con siderably above Liverpool quotations, but it is subject to alteration by ar. rangement.

At the Near East conference, the Greek delegation accepted the British proposals subject to certain modifications. The Greek delegation proceeds to Athens and Bekir Sami goes to Angora immediately to consult their respective governments, returning as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the Supreme Council remains in session in order to be at the disposal of both parties with a view to effecting a settlement.

WHAT THE ALLIES PROPOSE: "

"LONDON, March 11.

It is understood that the bases of the settlement of the Turkish ques- tion proposed by the Allies are Allied evacuation of Constantinople, the Straits to be controlled to a large extent by the Turks, Thrace to be internationalised, Gallipoli to be placed under Greek control, Smyma' to be autonomous with Greek preponderance in the regime, the port of Smyrca to be free to Turkish commerce

Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, at the Royal Aeronautical Society's meeting at the Royal Society of Arts, Adelphi, said air transport, though the speediest, will have to fight for its life for some time. Its main draw- back is that only short journeys such as cross-channel flights are attempted. "There can be no effective competition with conveyance by the great saving in time for mails air on long-distance journeys and should appeal-though it has not
