crease in the export of cotton from
the United Kingdom.
"The above figures for the United
Kingdom are taken from the Official
customs returns; those for the United
States have been carefully compiled
by the war trade department from the
manifests of those vessels which ac-
tually arrived with cargo from the
United States in Scandinavian and
Dutch ports during the five months,
February to June, 1915, as compared
with five-twelfths of the total record
ed exports from the United States to
those countries in the year ended
June 80, 1914. It has been necessary
to adopt this method, as the monthly
summary of foreign commerce. is
sued by the United States govern
ment, gives very few details with re-
gard to American trade with those
countries. 1t is evident that some ship
ments must have taken place from
the United States to Scandinavia and
The Netherlands, which could not
come within the scope of even the
most circumstantial compilation Of
statistics drawn up from the mani
tests of examined ships alone, and l
would therefore lay particular stress
on the fact that the figures thus OBJ
tanned by the war trade department
are necessarily under statements of
the total amounts actually shipped.
But even from the figures thus OBJ
tanned it is possible to show conclu-
sively how much greater the increases
in the American exports to Scandi-
navian countries and the Netherlands
have been than those of Great Britain
during the first five months of this
year, not only in the case of cotton
but in that Of almost every other i'm

States has made profits proportion
ately equal to or greater than those
of the mercantile community of Great
Britain in respect to all those demands
which have inevitably arisen in Scan

TWO DAMAGE SUITS
INCOURT OF RECORD
ONE WAS CLAIM FOR DAMAGES
AGAINST THE GAS COMPANY,
WHICH WENT FOR DEFEND
ANT, OTHER AGAINST RAIL-
ROAD.

Two cases occupied the attention
of the court of record yesterday, one
being decided in favor of the de-
PENDANT, while the other case, brought
against the L. & N. railroad COM
pany, was unfinished at time for adj
iournment and will be continued this
morning.
The case which occupied most af
the courts time yesterday was an
action brought by Frank D. Sanders
against the Pensacola Gas Company
alleging damages. This case was
brought against the gas company on
the allegation that the plaintiff had
been deprived of the use of gas, the
product of the defendant company,
the plaintiff alleging that metres had
been removed from his residence and
service cut off.
Tle company showed that the
metres had been removed, and gave
the reason therefor, the case being
rather interesting from start to
finish. The jury was not long in con.
sidering the case.
There are several cases on the
docket To-Day. One is a claim of g
firm of lawyers against another firm
of lawyers; one is against the Pen.
sacola Electric Company, and the
other is a case brought by Wicke
Brothers VS.. Elkan.
