notable that the export Inquiries. es( e-

li proportion to the refusal to accept

boon a little less Importunate.
The railroads have been placing fewer
orders for equipment since the first of
the month, and even November con-
tnan 1.000 tons of structural steel. Kew
equipment orders of moment are ex
pected to bo closed before Die end of the
year.
ur.e of the most Interesting develop
ments last week was the placing of con
1 1 acta for .'.o.uun tons of fahrlcated

In spite of a more or less complete
embargo on export freight by most of
the trunk lines entering New Tork, the
congestion of gooda which has choked
tho railroad yards and the lighterage
facilities of the port for tha past two
months shows few signs of relief. The
Pennsylvania Railroad announced on
Saturday Ha embargo on all goods for
the New York district except fuel and
foodstuffs for "necessary purpoaea." A
similar announcement from the Erie ts
expected soon. It waa said yesterday.
Additional complications have risen
from the storm conditions of laat week.

export ehlppers, although they expect no
inconveniences to New York through a
tleup of necessities, Bee little progress
In solving the problem of moving the
mass of freight awaiting transshipment.
There are. In the first place, too few
ocean carriers to meet the demand.
Then the lighterage concerns, which have
Increased their equipment In every pos
sible way, complain that their lighters
must be used ineffectively because of
lack of syFtem between the railroad and

"The conclusion seems wirranted."
says the report, "that In communities
where cooperation Is practically applied
to the farmers' business, the results ob
tained are far more satisfactory than
those secured by Individual methods ."
It as estimated that farmers' COOpSrS

business; amounting to more than II.
400.000. 000. Agricultural cooprratlin tn
the I'nlted BtStSS as therefore far more
prevalent than Is generally believed, but
It la not yet on a SUftlClenlly strong
business basis.
For this reason the office of markets
has studied the various methods em
ployed hy these associations and has
worked to devise means by which these
methods can be perfected. The studies
also have included the prevailing
methods of marketing perishable prod
ucts, COttOn, grain, cottonseed, live slock
and animal products.
Studies have been also made of city
markets in order to secure Information
which may open up outlets for farm
producta. In this Connection the re
port calls attention to the SSparlmental
work In distributing timely, markft In
formation concerning perishable prod
ucta. An effort has been made to keep pro
ducers Informed of StTtVata aril condi
tions In the large markets and on the
other hand to keep d alers Informed of
shlpmenta from the Important production
sections. Strawberries, pogC-hce, toma
toes and cantaloupes wenp the crops cov
ered In this way during the past season.
Glutted markets have been prevented
to eome extent, total shipment!, have
been greater and large bodies of grower
have received accurate Hi formation con
cerning conditions in competing produc
ing areas and distant markvts.
The work of encouraging the proper
preparation of products for mark.. t has
been continued. Investigation Into prob
lems of transportation and storage has
been continued to determine the cause
of the great loss of foodstuffs between
producer and consume,-.
Experimental shipments by pan-el
post and express were made during the
year with many kinds of fruits and ber
ries, lettuce, milk, buttei. eggs, syrup
and vegetables. In nearly every case it
waa found that the success of the ship
ment depended on the Judgmei.t used In
ael.otlr.g the quality of the product and
the type of container.
POSTAL RECEIPTS
ARE CLIMBING UP

Washington, Dec. 19 The Kuropean

made puoiic to-day. It
Is shown that postal receipts Increased
yearly for the fiscal years 1910 to 1914
inclusive at an average of about 7'j
per cent. Alleged postal surpluses of
fS.600.000 for the fiscal year 1913 and
S3. 500.000 for 1914 were i-overe.i Into tile
Treasury.
Rumblings of the impending oonfllot In
Uuropo were he-ird In July, 11' 14, and
nostul receipts, the unerring thermome
ter of business conditions and barometer
for coming events its Mr. Iks-kery styles
them, began to fall. A veritable slump
occurred in August, tlie first month of
tha war, and sharp docllnee In receipts
followed monthly until Novemher, wlan
they reached the point of lowest depres
sion. Then the tide turned.
Poise was regained and buslne-ss Itegan
to adjust Itself to existing conditions.
postal receipts rsepondsd quickly and
have been climbing up ever since In step
with Increaalnu prosperity and business,
activity throughout the country.
Poatal receipts for Ihe year ended
June SO, 1915. ara shown to have been
SS87, 241,165, or about one-quarter of 1
per cent, lees than In the preceding yoar.

135.447 for losses due to rtres and bur
glaries, a deficit for the year of 111,

The growth of the postal savings sys
tem for the year is shown to have Iseen
the largest in its history, both In num
ber of depositors and amount deposited.
On June 80. 1915, there were 525.414
depositors, having to their credit 166,
684, 70S, an increase of about 137,000
Individual depositors ami more than

seven months of the year by 114.000

merely in order to correct an Impression
which appears to have arisen from an
Imperfect appreciation of the facts.
I need only add In conclusion that If

which the British Government has made
use of their restrictive trade measures
for the purpose of unfairly discriminat

out will bring the facts to the knowledge

Injustice, 1 m, dear Mr. Secretary,

MKMOIIANIH'M.
I Tha attention of Ins Britannic
Majesty's Kmbassy has been drawn to a
i report hy the United States Consul-Oen-afal
In London on the subject of British
trade m July. wnicn was puDiisneu in
conimer-e report No. 203 of August 80,
and the subs tat OS of which was widely
reproduced In the press.
2. In the course of this report Mr.
Skinner states as follows:
It continues to be the case tSKtl
many rlasse of w1s, the exportation
of which from ,he 1' lilted Htatee to
neutral countries Is attended with
gnat difficulties nnd hazards, are
goirig forward freely frotn Great
Britain to the same countries and In
some cases In largely Increased
quantll les.
The Idea that British trade Is taking
advantage of the conditions arising out
of the military situation In order to es
tablish Itself In neutral markets at the
expense of American trade Is one that
has uln ady been submitted by the
I'nlted Stales Consul-General In l,ondon
In a previous report, and S.r Edward
Grey, in a note to Mr. Patfe dsted
AugUSl 13 last endeavored to show that
the Idea was founded upon a misappre
hension of lbs facts The sentence quoted
above, however, and the publicity given
to It In the American prase and to the
figures adduced to support It render a
further explanation desirable.
Decrease of British Ksports.
3. While British export trade has
undergone a uniform decrease In prac
tically all articles, the published figures
of the I'nited States leiartment of Com
merce sho that the export trade of the
t'nl'.ed States, in spite of lack of ahlp
' ping, the complete dislocation of normal
npdltlona of commerce and the mrasurea
taken by the allied Powers to reetr!c
j Die trade of their enemies and quite
i apart from the export of actual muni
j lions of war. has lin-rea-sea to a phenom
i stuil extent, and this, not only In supply
I Ing the requirements of certain of the
! belligerent nations, but In general trade
j with the very countries from whose mar
kets it has been claimed that Great
! Britain was endeavoring to exclude
American products. On tl.e other hand
British trade has probably suffered more
from the embargoes on exports Imposed
ow-tng to the necessities of war by tho
British Govermni fit than has I 'nlted
States trade from the measures In re
striction of neutral trade with the ene
mies of Great Britain.
4. Apart from this unprecedented vol
utin, of exports, American Industry'
which before the outbreak of the war
had been suffering for over a year from
general and widespread depression, has
during the period of hostilities realised
another benefit , the reduction In exports
from the belligerent countries has sup
piled the opportunity for American In
dustry to replace European products In
the markets of South and Central Amer
ica, the Ear East and even In neutral
European countries, so that the prac
tical cessation of direct trade with Ger
many. Austria-Hungary. Belgium and
Turkey is more than compensated by
the opening up of new markets The
Secretary of the Treasury In his ret-ort
for the year ending June 30, 1915,
which lias just been published says I
What extraordinary results have
been achieved In the brief period since
Iiecemher. 1914! During the year there
has been a steady, healthy, forward
movement In every line of activity,
until now prosperity has been firmly
established throughout the country.
From all points of ilew. therefore. It
appears that the European war has
proved rather beneficial than otherwise
to American trade and Industry, while
any suggestion that Great Britain ts at
tempting to use the military situation
for the purpose of hampering American
trade Is utterly refuted hy the actual
facts and figures
Skinner's Iteport Hooted
5. After stating that many classes of
goods, lbs exportation of which from
the United States Is attended with diffi
culties and hazards, are going forward
freely from the United Kingdom, Mr.
Sklnnor's report continues'

Afler quoting the British exports of
cocoa to Slcandlnavla and the Nether
lands lu March and April, 1914 and 1911,
the report continues :
For July, 1915. the total exports
DECEMBER 20, 1916.
(from Great Britain) were 7,089,067
pounds, against 1,263,585 pounds In
July, 1114.
Figures publish. d by the United
States Department of Commerce show
that for July, 1116, the total exports
from the I'nlted states were 1,706,463
pounds, agalnat 251,542 pounds In July,
1914.
That Is, during the month of July,
1(15, British exports were about alx
times aa great as laat year, while I'nlted
States exports were about Be von tlmea
jus great a last year.
Finally, for the fiscal years ending
June 30, the total United States ex
ports of raw cocoa have Increased from
4.517,621 pounds In 1914 to 28,97,06i
pounds In 1915.
So trust In aplte of the "great diffi
culties and haaards" quoted In the 're
port, the United States trade in raw
cocoa has Increased sevenfold In tha
last year
. Leaving the figures of British, ex
ports of raw cocoa. Mr. Sklrner, atlll
presumably developing the theory that
British trade has besaflted at the o-
pense of American trade, continues as
follows :

Now when It le considered that the
United States exports of cotton In July
last alone were 244.474 bale, or more
than the total number of bales of Alport,
can cotton exported from Great Britain
during the seven mouths ended August
It 1915, and that during these seven
months the l.'nUed Staten exported some
r.Si bglsa of cotton, as against
3,700,000 during the same period last
year, the Increase of 114.000 bale 1n
Bri'lsh reexports of American cotton
during the Blml seven months of 191:,.
as compared w ith the same period a year
ago, and of 67,000 bales, as impared
with the same enod two vears ago, ap
pears relatively Insignificant.
A large proportion nf this Increase con
sisted of cotton originally consigned
from the United States to Swedish firms,
purchased hy the British Government
from the American shippers under mis
representations as to the real ownership
and subsequently released snd forwarded
to Swedish firms who established their
titles to It.
Moreover, It Is to be noticed that
United States exports of cotton to "other
Europe." 1. e. Europe except Austrla
Hunfarr. 11. 1', ...... fl . .
Italy, Russia, Spain and Ihe United
Kingdom, for the twelve months ended
June 30 have increased In value from
15,000,000 In 1914 to 860.0O0.OO0 In 191.",.
As the amount of cotton exported lo
Portugal. Swltaerland, Turkey ami the
Balkan States Is negligible, this tnoreaee
of 855.000.000 must have been derived
from exports to Norway. Sweden. Den
mark and the Netherlands.
Sees -No Basis for Ctisrsjr.
In the light of these figures U ts
difficult to see what foundation there Is
for the suggestion that British trado la
attempting to establish Itself in the
cotton markets of neutral European
countries at the expense of the United
Stales.
7. The report Vive a table showing
the exports of British products and
manufactures and reexports of colonial
and foreign merchandise from the United
Kingdom during the months of July.
1914. and July. 1915, Indicating in some
caws the quantities exported to d'ferent
countries.
Among the British products all articles
ahow a decrease In the total quantity'
exported with the few unimportant ex
ception of mail. rice. lard. COOOSAUt oil
and palm oil The exports to allied and
neutral countries show, however, an In
crease In certain cases. Press summaries
of the report laid atress upon the In
ceased exports of cotton goods to
Erais-e, Russia. Norway. Sweden. Den
mark and the Netherlands, although ex
cept In the case of Erance these 1n-cre.uu-s
are Inconsiderable.
But 1. cannot he maintained that any
of this increased trade is gained at the
expense of American trade, see.ng that
the United States trade In cotton goods
compares In slxe an.1 ImpOltMM with
the British trade In about the ratio that
British reexports of raw cotton compare
with the United States exports of raw
cotton. The manufacture of cotton goods
In the Lancashire district Is one of the
greatest of British Industries. Just gs the
production of the staple In the United
States Is the greatest Industry of the
South, and there can therefore be no
possibility of competition between the
two countries. Moreover, of American
cotton goals not more than about 1 per
cent, goes to Europe.
Wool and Woollen .ood Exported.
8. Other papers remark on tl.e In
creased British exiHirtM of wool an.1
woollen goods to tlio allies of Great
Britain and to neutral countries, "Ihough
the I'nlted States has had great difficulty
In getting wool and wool products to
neutrals"
The figures of British trade In July
quoted In Mr. Skinner s report ahow
that British reexports of raw wool fell
from 16,000.000 to 9,000,0o0 pounds,
with a Blight Increase In the quantity
exported to the United States and the
Netherlands, and a considerable de
crease In the exports to Erance Total
exports of wool tops have fallen from
4,000,000 to 1,500,000 pounds mo sep
arate countries given) I total exports of
worsted yarn have fallen from 4,000,
000 to 1,000,000 pounds, exports to Rus
sia. Sweden. Norway. Denmark, Hol
land and the United States having all
decreased, while those of France Itave
risen from 65,000 to 855,000 pounds;
total exports of woollen tissues have
decreased from 1 1.000.000 to 7.000,000
yards, exporls to Sweden showing an
increase of 24,000 yards, to Norway of
9,000 yards, to Denmark of 67,000
yards und to Erance of nearly 3,000.000
yards, while exports to the Netherlands
and the United States have decreased ;
total exports of worsted tissues have
fallen from 7,000,000 to 6,000,000 yards,
exports to Norway having Increased by
16,000 yards, to Denmark by 9.000
yards and to Erance 300.000 yards,
while exports to Sweden, the Nether
lands and Ihe United States have de
creased. The increased exports to neutral
countries are comparatively Insignifi
cant, aa In the case of cotton goods, and
the Increased exports to Francs prob
ably consist largely of war orders. The
figures of the Department of Commerce
show that during ths month of July the
United States exported to France wool
len wearing npparel to ths value of
8725,531. ss against none for the same
period of last year. The total amount
of raw woo) reexported from the United
States during the twelve monthn ended
June 30, 1015. has Increased from
1.000.000 to 7,000,000 pounds.
Increase of U. g. Wool Exports.
The total exports of wool and wool
len goods from the United States have
therefore Increased to a considerable
extent, while total British exports have
declined. American exports to Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and ths Netherlands
are not separately given by the De
partment of Commerce and cannot
therefore ba compared with British ex
ports to these countries.
Any Increase In British exports of
cotton and woollen goods to these coun
tries and to tha Allies of Great Britain
Is largely due to the fact that tha
French and Belgian textile Industry dis
tricts are In German occupation, while
ths output of the German Industry It
self la considerably curtsdlsd by ths tack
I of labor for other than war Industries;
these countries have therefore Increased
their Imports from the nearest avail
I able source, which Is the United Klng
I dom.
9. Among the reexports from the
j United Kingdom of foreign and colonial
j merchandise the following show an In
i crease :
Rice, oocoenut oil, cottonseed oil. cin
namon, ginger, cocoa, coffse. cotton,
nuts and kernela, lamp oil, motor spirit,
lubricating oil, gas oil, fuel oil. tobacco,
rosin and rubber.
Of these cotton and cocoa have been
discussed shove The following figures
from Ihe summary of foreign commerce
of the United States Department of

It 1s seen, therefore, that I'nlted States
exports of all these articles, with the
exception of ginger, nuts, crude oil, gaso
lene. Illuminating oil, raw tobacco and
rosin, show an Increase over last year
during the monlh of July. Of there
nuts and ginger are of little Importance.
I and while exports of both In the month
of July show a dsfcrsgSS, for the seven
I months cmiing- July they show an ln-
icrea.-e of over one-third.
10. With regard to oil products, the
disparity between the quantities rx
j ported from ths United Slates and the
I United Kingdom Is so great as to pre
clude any possibility of competition In
neutral markets between British re
exports and I. tilted States export"
11. British reexports of rosm In
creased from 10.83;, hundredwe.ght in
July, 1914. to 60.318 hundredwelfht ,n
July. 191.", (the amounts exported to dif
ferent Countries are not given in Consul
General Skinner's report), while United
States exports of rosin In the same
month fell from 111:8,714 barrels In 1914
to 93.931 barrels In 191; (equals from
5T1.T86 to lf34.;.8 hundredweight). Now
of the total United States exports In
July. 1914, 137.840 barrels (equals 319.
6"0 hundredweight), or more tlum half,
went 10 Belgium and Germany, to which
countries there were no direct exports
In July if this year, rosin being absolute
contraband.
Some Trade Lost, but Other Won.
On the other liar d, I'nlted States ex
ports to "Other Europe." 1. e., Europe
exclusive of Austria-Hungary. Belgium.
Germany, Italy. Holland. Rusla and the
United Kingdom, rose from III.', barrels
In July. 1914, 10 10,41.". barrels lu July,
1915 (from 338 10 :6.03s hundred-
Weight 1, so that If the United Spates
trade with Germ any, Austria-Hungary
and Belgium lias been lost this year, oil
the other hand the trade with France,
Spain and the smaller neutral countries
of Europo ha-s Increased. I: can there
fore hardly be susgested that British
exports of rosin are supplanting those .f
the United State :, , ,e neutral Euro
pean markets.
United States exports of rosin to
"Other Europe' al ine :n Julv were
nearly half the total British reexports
of rosin to all destinations In the sunie
month Moreover, It must he remem
bered that rosin Is an element of pri
mary Importance In the manufacture of
munitions of war and consequently large
quantities WhtCcftl weie previously avail
able for export aru now required lu the
United States.
12. British reexports of raw tobacco
Increased In July from Hal. 809 pounds
In 1914 to 0,064.909 pounds In 191a;
I'nited States exports of raw tobacco In
July decreased from 48,680,448 pounds
In 1914 to 39,577,367 pounds lu 1015,
The Increase In British reexports Is
largely duo to the diversion from Con
tinental to British ports of tobacco
grown In the British Dominions. I'nlted
States exports for the seven months end
ing July were 212, 000, 000 pounds this
year, as opposed to 815,000,000 last ye.r
a loss of only 1,000,000 pound! ,n
quantity and In value 1802,000 -showing
that gains In other directions have made
up for the loss of trade with Germany,
whloli In the month of July. 1914. alone
took over 10.000.ono pounds of Ameri
can tobacco.

Now If the customs returns of Nor- '
way, Sweden and Denmark show that
Imports from tho United States have de- !
creased since the war. while the official
returns of the I'nlted g tat SB Department
of Commerce show on the other hand
that they have enormously Increased. It 1
seems legitimate, In the absence of any
OthOf explanation, so assume that the t
United Stales figures represent Ihe I
amount of goods shipped from tha
United States to the Scandinavian coun
tries and that tho customs figures of Hie
S.-andlnavlan countries represent that
proportion of the goods Agptvftsd from
tha United States which paid duty and !
were sn tared for consumption In ihose
countries, while the considerable differ
OIWO represents the amount of gooda
exported from the United States which,
on arrival In the Scandinavian countries, ,
were rSShlppad largely to Germany.
Ths fact that the Increase lu ship- I
menta from New York to Norway, Swe- I

the decrease In shipments to Germany
during the same period is exiremaly . Ig- 1

14 The figures quoted above from the
Official reports of the Department of
Commerce conclusively prove that the
export trade of the United States has
nut suffered from the Inevitable rSBtrlc
Uons on neutral commerce deriving from
the state of war, and that there Is no
vestige of foundation for the Insinuation
that Great Britain has taken advantage

necessitated by military considerations
In order to Increase British exports to
