OFFICIALS READ NOTE CARE
FULLY BUT DECLINE
TO COMMENT
In Advance Of Making Public Of
Text Sunday Afternoon
Ii Preliminary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Secretary
Bryan late today announced the re-
ceipt OF the note from Great Britain
replying to the American communi-
cation OF December Is, respecting
American commerce.
The note. which Is about the same
length as the American communica-
ton. will be made public on Sunday
AFTERNOON BY mutual agreement be-
tween the state department and the
British foreign Office
OFFICIALS OF the state department
read the note carefully hut agreed to
make no comment on IL whatsoever
in advance OF the publication of the
text. Secretary Bryan will discuss Il
With President Wilson on the latter's
return tomorrow.
That the British communication
Is inconclusive IN many respects and
will lead TO a further exchange of
notes was learned from authoritiye
quarters. Although many concessions

by England through embargoes on re-
expectation recently completed with
Italy and Holland. some OF the points
raised In the American note such as
the question OF proof at the time OF
detention OF ships and length OF time
required for examination will neces-
state further argument between the
state department and the British for
eign office before a definite under
standing is reached.
Note 10 Preliminary.
The British note is preliminary. in
the sense that 1t Is confined to a gen
eral statement of the situation in an
swer to the American document. and
VIII be followed later by a uore de-
tailed statement on specific cases.
While the communication points out
the particular necessities of belliger-
ents in the momentous struggle in
Europe II is phrased in a spirit of
frankness and friendlinese.
Much emphasis is placed by the
British government on the necessity
for careful search of all cargoes which
appear suspicious. In this respect,
Great Britain has reiterated her posi-
tion with an amplihcation OF previous
statements. The British government
has explained that Il is difficult TO
search the merchant liner OF the pres
ent day at sea, that submarines are
darting about constantly and that con-

Berlin.-The German submarine,

shipping on the scilly islands and

crews. The commander of the subma.
rine gave the crews Of most Of the
steamships time to leave their vessels.
and In some cases towed the ships

to port.
Members Of the crew Of the Auguste

The bombs are far smaller than the

APPLES FROM ILLINOIS
 NOW ON MORRIS AVENUE

Among the arrivals on Morris ave nue yesterday were two cars of fancy peaches from Missouri. two or three cars of apples from Illinois and a few cars of cabbage and potatoes from Virginia. There were also a number of cars of watermelons from Ala bama points, and express shipments of eantaloupes from Tennessee.
 There is great variety of produce on the local market at the present time, and prices are said to be within reason.
 Tomatoes, bell pepper, potatoes and snap beans continue to arrive from Alabama truckers, much produce be- ing srown locally; but the supply Of most varieties of home grown produce Is at the present time rather light
 Birmingham affords a good market sor fresh meats of all kinds, and the nome grown article meets with an ex- collent demand in this territory. Much beef and pork is sent to the local Gtockyards to be killed and disposed ot on a commission basis. The sup ply of home grown cattle and hogs is said to be steadily increasing in this state.
 Quotations for today follow.
