cides Question-New Orleans
Takes Formal Action Also.

NEW YORK. November 13.---The New
York Cotton Exchange will reopen for
unrestricted trading next Monday
morning. November 1G. The board of
governors so voted today.
The decision to reopen the cotton eX-
change was reached at Il special meet
ing of the board of managers and the
announcement was greeted with en-
thusiasm on the floor OF the exchange,
which was crowded with members in
anticipation of such statement.
The announcement of the reopenng
marks the end of the most trying eX-
perience in the history OF the exchange
Business on the exchange was sus-
pended July 80 amid great excitement
resulting from the war i'll Europe ard
after three failures which left an uG-
liGuidated interest of fully $4,000 bales
The situation was made more difficult
by the existence of Il large internatlon-
al interest and since the closing of the
exchange members have been endeaN-
oring to liquidate old contracts, to
meet the enormous losses resulting
from the great decrease in prices ana
to arrange to resume businenss under
safe conditions. -,
When trading is resumed there VIII
be no apprehension as to the effect ol
future fluctuations upon the remaining
old interest.
An official of the exchange SAID thae
the trading under new contracts Wouiu
begin with January delivery ana that
the exchange would request that traa-
ing in December be limited to Hquida-
ton of old contracts.

Washington, d. c., April 8. - Tho
Underwood Simmons tariff act went
into effect six months ago to-day, and
present indications are that 1t will not
reduce customs revenue any more than
was estimated In Congress at the time
of passage.
According to the Treasurys March
statement customs revenues amounted
to about S26,000,000. which is about
81, 800, 600 less than the Payne-Aldrich
law produced in March, 1913. That
was a marked increase over February,
when revenues fell over $10,000,000
compared to the same months of 1913.
The average decrease in customs
revenue for the six months the Under

tion is placed at about S4,000,000, but
officials were confident to-day that
would be reduced in the coming six

FEARS ENTERTAINED
FOR SAFETY OF 10
MEMBERS OF CREW
Government Has Instituted Extend
ed Search For Missing
Southern Crew
By Associated Press

ST. Johns, n. f., April 3.--There
was growing apprehension to-day that
the sealing steamer Southern Cross
went down with all on board during
the blizzard off Cape Race Tuesday.
She carried a crew of 17O men and
was heavily loaded with 1900 seal
skins, trophies of a hunt recently con-
cluded in the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
Hope for the safety of the vessel
based on dispatch from Sydney, n. s.,
which stated that a wireless message
had been received there reporting the
arrival of the Southern Cross was dis
slpated before noon, when the gov
ernment. after several hours inquiry,
declared the Sydney report untrue.
Appeal Sent TO United States
The government has instituted an
extended search for the missing vessel
and appealed to the United States for
assistance. The Reid-New Foundland
Company's steamer Kyle, which has a
good wireless equipment, was char
tered for the purpose and will sail at
midnight The American revenue cut
ter Seneca, which is doing iceberg
patrol duty several hundreds miles off
the southern coast, was asked TO
assist.
The sealer Bellaventure, with her
cargo of sixty dead, Is blocked in the
ice 100 miles north of here and cannot
arrive before Sunday. She went to
the aid of her sister sealer. the New
Foundland. when 100 hunters from
the latter were caught by the storm
while killing seals Tuesday and were
unable to regain their ship.
The Bellaventure, the Stephano and
Florizel picked up many bodies and
number of survivors. 1t is known
that f1fty-eight lives were lost and
some thirty men are not accounted
for. 1t is believed that it is scarcely
possible that the latter could have
survived the long exposure on the ice
foes.
