VALLEY COTTON is NOW
SENT TO EUROPE DIRECT

Los Angeles, March 10.-Indicative
of the rapid progress of Los Angeles
harbor as world exporting port
the departure of the Blue / ne
liner Movune from the harbor yes
terday afternoon laden with Imperial
Valley cotton marked another steI
toward world prominence in maritime
affairs.
The Blue Funnel line is a British
company operating steamers to all
parts of the globe. Its principal Pa
cific Coast port is in Puget Sound,
but since the opening of the Panama
canal the company has inauourated
an eastbound service through the ca
nal Los Angeles harbor has been
made port of call for the steamers
of the company and the Movune was
the first vessel of the line to touch
here.
She arrived from Puget Sound Sun
day evening and sailed yesterday aft
ernoon direct for London after load
ing 1000 bales of 600 pounds each
of Imperial Valley cotton. This is
the first shipment of California cot
ton direct to Europe.
The steamer Navajo several weeks
ago took a small shipment for Eu-
rope, but touched at Galveston to
finish her cargo. The next ship
ment will be made by the British
steamer Spectator. The latter is one
of the Harrison Line of steamers.
which line heretofore did not touch
at Los Angeles harbor eastbound.
g Local shipping men say the import
ance of Los Angeles harbor as -,ort
of export will GROW rapidly and that
each season will see larger shipments
of California cotton to different ports
of the world.
