Declaring the action of the Little Congress in voting to recognize the soviet government of Russia on March 4 had brought down a storm of protest, including a violent denun- ciation from Ralph Easley, chairman of the executive council of the Na- tional Civic Federation, members of the organization who opposed the adoption of the resolution on March 4 renewed the contest at a meeting Saturday night in the caucus room of the House office building. After a three-hour debate it was voted to reconsider.the action taken on March 4, and to table the resolu- tion adopted that evening. P. F. Snyder of Washington. leading the fight for reconsideration, de- clared that the members had exposed themselves to criticism by voting to recognize soviet Russia, and referred to the letters written by Mr. Easley to the Speaker of the Little Con- gress. He urged that members ought to be rhore careful in their actions. Kenneth Romney of Montana moved to have the Russian recognition reso- lution taken up at a special order of business at a meeting to be held three weeks later, when all members interested could be notified of a re- opening_of the fight. Marx Lewis, authpr of the resolu- tion to recognize soviet Russia; J. C. Shroeder of Illinois, George Safford of Florida and R. A. Nixon of Wis- consin urged that the matter be dis- cussed at a later date, and protested against the attempt to intimidate the membership. The motion to reconsid- er and another motion to table the resolution were carried. MORE GOLD IN CANADA. Reserve Against Dominion Notes Steadily Improving.

December, 16.88 N E Much of the advance of 5 to 11 points at_the opening of the cotton market | today was due to excessive and gen- eral rains over the eastern cotton belt. 1t attracted rather active buy- ing of new crop positions which was followed by further commission house support on which prices held all the The trade and New and Liverpool furnished most of the early offerings.

March 20.— While the extreme range of prices in the cotton market last week was only 55 to 66 points, trading was active and fluctuations were rapid. The reason for the narrow range was the even balance of the news, which made the market a trading proposition. Highest prices came on the closing session, while the lowest prices were sprinkled through the first four ses- sions of the week. At the highest the trading months were 16 to 35 points over the close of the preceding week, while at the lowest they were from 22 to 48 under. May traded up to 16.90, rising from 16.33 as the lowest price, and closed at 16 In the spot ' department middl lost 2 points in the net resuits, closing a 16.75 against 11 cents on the close of this week last year. Expectations on the long side of the .| cotton market were fully met today by the census bureau figures on total ginnings for the last season of 7.9 665 running bales, and prices higher from the opening..

The narrower constructions of print cloths were the active. but small lots made up most of the volume of business. The renewed inquiries from foreign countries for sheetings is expected to develop into a fair volume of business this week and buying for the sugar bag trade has not been com- pleted.

Exceeds Legal Tax Limit by $20,- ! 000,000 in 1821. NEW YORK, March 20.—New York city exceeded its legal tax limit by $20,000,000 in 1921, and is still run- ning into debt at the rate of $100,000 a day, declared a report to the legis- lature and the Charter Rivision Com- mission, made public by the Meyer commission, created to meet the city’s financles. Mayor Hyla: dminstration was criticised for keeping expenditures and payments on & “war basis” after nation, state and private business have made heavy cuts in their budgets. The report, prepared by Elon H. Brown, counsel to the committee, said New York had been running into debt at the rate of $100,000 a day since the greater city was in- corporated, and charged that sink- ing fund mismanagement had brought about & situation where “the sinking funds furnished no security for the debt held by the public.” The report recommended reforms which it was estimated would save axpayers $50,000,000 a year.

NEW YORK, March 20.—1In all of tha markets today it was again a question of ability to absorb speculative realiz- ing salc This was quite as true of grain and of foreign exchange as it was of stocks. The exchange movement has becoms S0 much more violent nowadays taat daily swings of 2, 3 and even 5 cents are quite ordinary occurrences, calliny for no explanation other than a tems porary surface change in speculative at titudes. Havinz rebounded in four days from $4.2772 to $1.40, it was not surpri that sterling should have had a rather sharp sethack today Nothing in the o sturday news had any bearing upon this decline. Another new low record for th in German marks came lo enough on the heels of the Reichs- bank statement showing a further expansion of 200,000.000 marks in paper note issues. Inasmuch as tha cireulation item 5 marks even s » middle of De- cember, it may be readily understood why the reparations commission, fising the terms for sist that this wild inflation be stup- ped, and the gold bond necessary for indemnity payments be raised by an internal loan. - . eavy Selling. On the stock exc izing saies were heavier than 2t any time in a week. They converged more particu- larly upon the recent industrial favor- ites. and it was the stratezy, as th selling began 1o tell against pri to bring forward the railway shares as a counter balance. New York Central was bid up sharply again in anticipation of an announcement before long of the plans which are working out to ab- sorb the minority holdings of sub- sidiary lines and o render the entire surplus of these roads available for the parent treasu For an hour or so there was a lively advance in other standard rail- way stocks and in many of the low- pric-d non-dividend paying members of the group. “While this lasted, it served to disa tract attention from the profit-taking in the industrial section. The coppery shipping, textiles and food specials ties were all soft. Good Gains in Rails. The demand for rails increased in the afternoon, New York Central, Southern Pacific, Chicago and Northwestern, Bal- timore and Ohio and Rock Island pac- ing. with advances of 1 to 2 points.
