.lavana, May 21.--Drastic financial
meaiures looking to economy in gov
crnmiental administration, constitu
tional reforms, iieldiig election of
the President by direct vote and
methods by which the government can
aid banking instItutions to rHae from
the present chaos to normal are in
clui(led inl recomeineidations whicl
President Alfredo Z'ayas, inaugu rated
yesterday, made in his first message
to congress, dielivered this aftenoon
at a joint session of both houses.
Economy measures include the re
duction of the proposed budget for
the fiscal year beginning July I from
-a total of -aliroximately $1:16,000,000
to between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000.
Slashing of alppropriations Is called
for in every overnmental departLment
except that of education.
Tl'he constitution-al reforms advocat
ed include:
Non-reelection of the President;
election of the President by direct vote
of the people; abolition of the rule
for i two t hid ( ucrumi inl both hous
es of congress before sessions can be
opened; creation of a federal district,
to be -verned by a commission, to in
('lude lavana and ncarby suburbs;
abolitlon (f the consitutional mmuni
ty for members of tihe legislature, lear
lig them liable to prosecution for cer
tain major crimes .and offenses; au
thorization for Iariger cities to organ
ize a m v form of municipal govern
ment.
In Conn ection with his recommenda
tions of financial matters the President
reiterated the necessity of initiating
negotiations for a revision of the coi
loirCal reciproity treaty with the
Unite(d States, especially in so far as
it affect! Cuba's pincipal products
sugar and tobacco. ''he growimg need
for a (1partmen t of com mu nicat ions

The troublois Cu bain political siti
tion 'apiears to have enided temporarily
at least with the inauguration of
Zayas' the port congestion has been
eliminated, and the recommendations
of President Zayas in his message to
congress show what means the admin

PLUCTUATION IN
COTTON NARRIOW
Trend of Prices'I 32nrket Last Wk
Wats Anything but. Deelded.
New Orleans, May 22.--The trend of
prices it the cotton market this week
was anything but decided and fluctua
tions were narrow, the range for the
week being only 42 to 55 points. On
the close prices nyere 15 points down
to nine points up, compared with tle
close of the preceding week. July
traded -as high as 12.71, fell off to 12.16
and closed at 12.2i. .In the spot (le
partment, middling gained 13 points In
the net results, closing at 11.75. A year
ago middling closed at 10.25.
The even balance of the trading fac
tors of the week accounted for the,
narrow price changes. The weather
over the belt was at once favorible
land unfavorable, there were favorable
and unfavorable reports in foreign
news and the same thing might be
said about reports from textile cell
tors of this country, although, on the
whole, the trade was inclined to look
upon business among the mills as
making at least slight improvement.
Iales of 180,000 pieces of print cloths
in the Fall River market for the week,
rere regarded as encouraging but
much of their effect was lost because
of the claimis of a much Iarger -busI
ness doing which was not cofirlmcd
in tile o!llcial return:s at the close of
the week.
The weather reports of the week in
dieated that over a considerable .or
tion of the belt the absence of rainfall
and seasonably high temperatures
were favorable for crop work and de
velopment but there was luch com
plaint of poor stands, slow growth of
plants and practically every state in
the belt reported m11uch )1-antlng yet to
be accomplished. Toward the end of
the week, large sections of Texas and
Oklahoma commenced to complain of
drouth.
This coming week much interest
will be centered in the first condition
report of the season, the Alay condi
tion period ending Wednesday. The
figures from the government will be
Issued on the second of June and
from Wednesday on, It is likely that
private bureau estimates of condition
will be numerous. Most traders have
abandioed tile idea that the pereent
age of condition will be anywhere
near as low as the report of last year
on May 25th, and when the fl-g-ures
were 62.A of nornial, but the average
bullish trader clings to the idea that
the report will be -well tuider the teni
