placed in America for sos, 100000 of
war munitions and supplies. Great
Britain and France bought 100000
worth of sugar and Russia closed a
deal for cotton to the value of S25,-
100000. Not only are these big orders
coming to us directly on account OF
the war but we are beginning to be
called upon to supply neutral nations
which formerly depended upon I'M
