Mrs. Lansing are spending their first

tops one Of the picturesque hills in the
exclusive section of this summer resort.

In addition to these orders OF vast

employment to thousands of. men. and
bringing to stockholders large returns.
The extent Of the increase in the war

the fiscal year 1915 exceeded similar
exports in the eleven months of 1914 by
more than $4,000. 900.

foodstuffs and partly prepared food
stuffs dncluding canned beef and other
supplies) the increase for the periods
compared was $59s. .5l2.
Payment for these vast shipments
which are continuously pouring out OF
American ports Is one OF the problems
that has caused much concern and
some little trouble to American finan-
ciers. Great Britain has just conclud-
ed .the floating at home of a gigantic
war loan. Friday there were rumors in
New York that the British government
was preparing to arrange a New York
loan through which payment might be
made for many Of the contracts which
have been placed by the allies.

has not felt some material benefit from

the East are now turning out the muni-

cotton. has had a limited market.
With the harvesting Of another cror
of the staple approaching and no better
outlook for its disposal, there has been
talk of an American. or a British, poo
to take care of the cotton crop. New
