WORLDS CONSUMPTION
OF COTTON ESTIMATED
Department Representatives Prepar.
ing Figures to Aid Industry in
United States.

:. Representatives of the State, Treas
ury and Commerce departments con-
tinued today the work of preparing
estimates of the worlds consumption
of cotton next year
The committee had before it for con-
sideration cable reports furnished by
American consuls and commercial at
taches giving estimates on the cot
ton consumption from verious Euro
pean and South American countries.
These are the first Of the reports to
be received in response to Secretary
McAdoo's suggestions and are being
gone over by the committee with a
view ultimately of formulating a meth
cd of compiling the estimates on the
present and prospective consumption
of cotton in all parts of the world.
in the future a monthly statement OF
this worlds cotton market based upon
regular cable reports will be issued for
the information of American cotton
producers and manufacturers Addi-
duction in Egypt, India. China and
Russia are being awaited.
Tremendous Demand Exists.
The committee also is working out
plans for the shipment Of American
cotton to Germany and Austria. where,
it is officially announced. there is q
tremendous demand for the product at
prices ranging from IA to IS cents. The
principal difficulty at present in facili-
tating the movement of cotton to these
and other European countries, however,
according to the committee, apparently
is the question of the high rate of
marine insurance thereon AS soon as
The matter can be adjusted to the satis-
faction of shippers, officials expect
monthly cotton shipments from America
10 Germany and Austria to reach be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 bales. When
Congress convenes attempts will be
made to amend the war risk law to
provide government insurance ON ship
Inents to belligerent countries even
when these shipments include articles
such as cotton. which have been de-
Clared non-contraband.

BY I. A. FLEMING.

New York financial interests have
been marking strenuous efforts to obtain
a favorable ruling from the internal

ferred Is named as the attorney.
w. w. Spaid of w. B. Hibbs' took the
matter up yesterday and obtained a
practical assurance that a ruling would
be forthcoming in the near future to
the effect that the blank proxy, for
transfer. when made to a secretary. as
sistant secretary or an officer Of a cor

such transfer by the board Of directors
of such corporation" is free from taxa

point Is that the certificate simply au-
