House, of Oommon yesterday to come to any definite conclusion regarding the i cp of th measures that will be at-1 twr.pted. A blockade of Oermun ports would virtually put a stop to direct ship-! menta of cotton to llmnen ami Hum tmrg However, these voyases have been : m hazardous that the movement of cot- on by the routes Has not been exten ts. It probably does nut Include mote, ihn 12 or U per cent, of the total sup-. P'lf.i rec lved by (lermany It remain to lie seen warmer me ai us will purcue a strict policy of cap-, ture, search and seizure which would m.lltate strongly against shipments to neutral ports. While blockade would net affect shipments to CJothenburir, Hot 'erdam or Genoa, a declamtlim of con traband would put upon the shipper the necessity of making some showing re carrtlnfi the Innocent destination of the arco. Truro was nomine in yester day's news to throw light on this point. It would seem necessary tn order to effect a complete stoppaRe, of German Importations that soma arrangement should be mad with Ituly. Hutlnml and Pweden to prevent transshipments of supplies already received through the ports of those countries. As a matter ' of fact If Germany were to obtain the eotton already received at Genoa, Kot- enWrn and Gothenburg which prob ably was u'tlmatcly destined for German onsumptton the blockaded belligerents fnal for many months to come without i rerelvlw: another bale from America. Th'i conclusion of course Is based on 'tis assumption that neither one of the iltrmanle allies Is buying cotton for its oversea trade, but entirely for domestic onsumptlon. . studying feature which caused a i o-lci at n recovery toward the cloe was 'navy export movement of the day. l h reached llCOlXI bales and brought e 'Mai for the season up to 5. 253,000 '! igai ist 7.174.000 bales last year.

OF NEW YORK, 80 Broadway FIRST GOLD FROM ENGLAND SINGE 1913 -SToO.OOO Arrives on Anicricnn l.inor aew York Con siirnotl to Two Firms. The flrt shipment roM to ho ent to this city direct from Bnsland atnc th latter purl of 1913 arrived here yes terday in toard the American liner New York. It amounted to onty $7S0.00fi, it sum vihlrh In ordinary tlmeei would not attract (treat deal of notice In tho financial dl'trtet, but owing to the ex traordinary conditions exlsttnf ahroad the, fact that England, is loath to part with her (roM nnd that tmnatlantle sold shipments are rare In these days of submarine warfnre It sroused con siderable comment The cold was brought here for the account of (lold mati. S.ichs it. Co and Kidder, I'esbody Co. JuOCOOO being consigned to the former banking house and $;nn,000 to the latter. Inuiilrj nt the offices of tho two firms failed tn reveal whether or not the gold was purchased direct from the Hank of Kiicland. but the Impression prevalted that It was not. It was snld by retire e,cnt.ltlve of the firms that th" ship ment represented exchange and not spe-i-IhI transactions. That considerable- care was tnknti to guard the sh'pment was feen iu the fact that no announcement whs mailo at the time of Its engage ment anil that an American liner was selected to transport It. Cable advices from Ixindon Indicated trust a further movement of gold from Ottawa to New York might take place, as it was announced that the Hank tif Knr-land had sold SOIO.OOO In foreign ,-oiti for trnnfi'r from the Canadian capital to this city, fiold Imports from Ottawa and from tendon on the present movement nine amount to J9. 200.01)0.

Wa rail attentlna ta a letter af Mr K. A. f, Clarke. President of the Lartawaaa Steel Company, corAea at srklek asay a lad ss rsqstst aad trtm which we tinamarrt tha foPvlat Imporlaat features la recant ta theaa Notaai Since March 1, 1910, funded indebtedness has been reduced $5,482,000 (including present financing), and $6,814,669 has been expended for additions to plants and other properties. The present financing will reduce annual interest charges $139,700. Assets of the Company in excess of prior obligations amount to over $56,000,000, equal to more than nine times these $6,000,000 notes. Company's investments in iron ope properties are conservatively estimated to be worth $6,165,000 more than the value at which they are carried on its books. Valuable patent rights are owned by the Company and are carried on its books at a nominal value. Since 1900 Stockholders have subscribed for $27,250,000 Common Stock, which was paid for at par in cash. These Notes will be the direct obligation of the Company, and will be issued under an agreement which will provide that, until the entire amount has been paid off, the Company will not mortgage any of its present plants, real estate, etc., or pledge any stocks, bonds or obligations of other companies owned or held by the Company, or permit to be created any mortgage or pledge thereof, except by the issue of bond under the First Consolidated Mortgage. Balance available for interest charges on this Company's bonds for the past nine years (1914 partly estimated) averaged $3,745,544. Deducting $1,250,000 prior interest charges from this amount leaves $2,495,544 available for $360,000 interest on this issue of Notes, equal to almost seven times the amount required. Depreciation charges are on a liberal scale. For the nine years ended December 31, 1914, $13,519,951 was charged off for Depreciation (in addition to the regular charges for upkeep included in operating expenses) and Sinking Fund for bonds and exhaustion of minerals. The supply of iron ore, and coking and gas coal owned by the Company is suffi cient to maintain operations at full capacity for many years. The Company's steel mills at Lackawanna, near Buffalo, N. Ye, on the shore of Lake Erie, are well located for economical operation. They are of modern construction, and produce rails, structural shapes, sheet piling, splice bars, tie plates, merchant bars, billets, plates, and other forms of finished steel products. All of the Company's properties are maintained in excellent condition. An Wsjal Malta la rsws-tt sa wtt (Ms kaaaa at Mataa karva kaaa aasaasswat tor mr aMt Sham OartwataiW. wl-Wskrw Tan. Haw Ta.
