BALTIC BLOCKADE EFFECTIVE.
German ships at LuIea and Other
Ports Won't Sail.

London, Oct. s7.-It Is learned here
from a high authority that the British
submarine blockade of German Baltic
ports is most effective. German steam
ers at Lulea and other ports have been
ordered not to sail.
Lulea is a Swedish port from which
large shipments of ore have been made
to Germany. These exports recently
were reported to be increasing. The
submarines 1t is believed here. are ex-
tending their operations to this area in
an effort to cripple the German indus

operating with the British in the block
ade.
Information reaching here from Ber-
lin states that officials there admit the
situation Is serious. Count Reventlow,
the naval writer. discussing the situa-
ton in the Zeitung says:
THE blocking Of the Baltic against
British submarines undoubtedly Is
tough problem. They are able to get
through the great belt, notwithstanding
the Danish mines. When-the Baltic is
frozen 1t Is possible to discover the

BALANCE IN COTTON
GOODS $25,OOO,OOO
Exports Exceed Imports First
Time I'm Nations History,
Except In 1907.

wAsHiSoroN. June 27.-An export
total of approximately SIS, 600. 600 is the
Indicated record Of American manufac-
turers OF cotton goods In the fiscal year
1915. while imports Of cotton manufac-
turers probably will fall below $4,000
600. making the balance OF rad on the
export side about $25. 900. 900. as against
an import balance In every earlier year
In the country's history except 1907.
when the excess OF exports in this group
was about 81. 900. 900.
In the ten months OF the current fiscal
year to May I exports OF cotton manu-
features. amounting to $50 soc. 900, ex-
ceeded by $4,000. 900 the largest record
OF any complete fiscal year prior there
to. The highest level previously re-
corded by the Department of Commerce
was $50. zoe. 900 In 1913, and the next
highest level was $50. 300. 900 IN 1906,
which was the eliminating year OF the
big Export movement. when the Chinese
were taking unusually large quantities
OF American cotton goods upon the re-
opening OF her markets at the close of
the Russo-Japanese war.
Up to the present the cotton manu-
featuring industry Of the United States
has been chiefly occupied In meeting
the requirements OF the home market.
Thus while he production Of cotton
manufacturers rose from 32sS. 000. 900 In
1890 TO $62S. 400 900 in 1910, the last
census year. exports of that class in
creased from $40. O0O. 900 to S33. 400. 900.
Imported cotton goods. however. did not
fully participate In the increased con-
sumption. since they rose only from
S2s. 10000 In 1890 . $500. 900 in
1910. with a subsequent decline TO about
$50. 600, 900 in the current year.

A modest thunderstorm that as
