ready has received requests for reserva-
tons of more than Loo seats for this one
performance.
Despite the careful insistence Of the
management that the public should not
mistake the name Society Circus" as in
dicating that this production is by ana

This Is aII-professionaI talent, taken
from the best circus and other emuse-

GAIN IN OCTOBER

Treasury Department Is Keeping De tails Secret Out of Consideration for Nations Buying Goods
 in Large Quantities
By HOLLAND

New York, November 6-(Special.)-For reasons of expediency the Secretary of the Treasury. MT. McAdoo, has directed that some of the details of the exports from New York in October to neutral nations government for the present. This secrecy reflects no desire on the part of the ad- ministration to withhold information from the American people, but simply the dis position to respect what Is understood to be the wish of countries to which these exports in October were made.
 It IS a disposition which exporters themselves, and particularly ,the managers of large industries, have recognised They have been told that the nations which are now purchasing in large amounts In the United States are anxious that the char acter Of these purchases and, as far as possible, the amount of them shall not be made public. If there were some way by which the American people could learn conf1dentially what these details are there would be no reason for withholding the information. The neutral nations which are now buying 50 heavily and the beiligerent nations whose purchases of certain kinds of commodities are already unparalleled are anxious to keep their purchases from the knowledge of the other belligerents as far as possible.
 There are, however. some details which cannot be kept from the knowledge of the public here or across the sea. For instance, 1t has been possible to learn that. Italy bought of the United States In October of this year and caused to be shipped from New York commodities or the value of nearly 3S,000,000. That Is S2.e0,0Oo money value more than Italy bought in the United States in October of last year. The principal items arc wheat and flour and copper. The large amount of copper which Italy bought is presumably designed for perfecting her war equipment, although England evil dently suspects that by some subterfugc part of the copper would reach Ger many, for Germany is known to be in need of copper for war purposes.
 Denmark bought In the United States and exported from New York in October commodities whose money value was & o0o,o00 in excess of her purchases in this country year ago. Denmark has never been large bayer in the Amer ican market but the exfgeneies of the war closed the sources of supply which she has hitherto found in the nationt across the sea. Holland, which has al ways been good customer for the United States, bought and exported from New York in October of this year about S1Do,o0 in excess of her purchases here year ago.
 The especially striking exports from New York in October were those which represented purchases made by Greece principally food-which were nearly sl.-

Washington, as well as financial leahers, have undertaken with the view of eliev- ing the situation as far as possible.
 The Washington authorities have been watching the export movement with keen interest. It is the understanding in the financial district here that they have brought our October trade statistics to the attention of Sir George Paish. Ger tainly the impression commonly prevails in this city that the change in the situ.- ton so far as our foreign trade is con- cerned which began about the time Sir George left England for the purpose of holding conferences with tho government authorities and with the leaders of finance, may make 1t unnecessary for any
