COTTON SHIPMENTS INCREASE.
FORECAST OF Bulls Million and Half
Bales This Month for Export Move
mcnt

New Orleans Feb. 1.--Shipments of
cotton from ports today were over
10000 bales larger than receipts.
shipments being 1861, while re-
ceipts were 55,249 bales. Foreign ship
mcnts amounted to 13G,493 bales.
Bulls believe that the export move
ment FOR February VIII lie more than
100000 bales, or about 10000 bales
larger than the movement for Janu-
airy. This forecast is based on the
large freight bookings, the continued
spot demand and the pi!ing up of
stocks at the ports, although port
stocks lost S5,22S bales today, being
reduced to 1,92O,900 bales.
Shippers are now paying $13.75 a
bale for room for Rotterdam. All
available shirs arc being pressed into
the cotton trade. \ message from
Galveston today said that four ships
had cleared with cotton while Eve
more had arrived to load cotton.
The total amount Of cotton on ship
board at all ports on the Weekend
was 519,223 bales and broke all rec
ords. Over ten million bales Of the
crop already have been marketed.

feet.

London, Feb. 1.-The commission
Tor relief in BELGIUM has received no
reply to its offer to purchase the
fooGstuffs cargo of the American
steamship Wilhelmina, diverting her
from Hamburg and avoiding ar inter-
national incident which is believed
here to be inevitable if the vessel tries
TO reach Germany. 4
Announcement from Washingtoyl
that Count Won Rernstorff, German,
ambassador to the United States,
would guarantee that the cargo would
be used only for civilians in Germany
has not Influenced the British govern
ment. Foreign Office officials say they
arc unable to understand what valid
guarantee Ambassador Bernstorff
could give In Wow of the German de-
cree placing all foodstuffs in Germany
under government control. 9
If not purchased by the relief COM
mission the Wilhelmina doubtless will
be conducted to an English port,
where her cargo, officials say. will be
taken over and paid for by the gov
ernment. ~
Announcement that the former
German steamship Dacia had sailed
from Galveston with cotton for Ger.
many caused much comment here. II
generally has been believed the Dacia
incident was closed. If the Dacia ac-
tualy tries to reach Rotterdam sl1t
unquestionably will be taken by Brit
ish warships into an English port and
her cargo reloaded on a waiting ves-
sci. 1t then will be sent promptly tt
Rotterdam at the expense OF the Rrif-
ish government, thus prevnting loss

that the Dacia is certain to go into .

Sofa, Bulgaria (via LOndon), Feb.
3.-"The attitude here with reference
to the war is one Of the strictest rau-
trality and the Macedonian question
is the only factor giving apprehen-
sion," said the Bulgarian premier,
Naseil Radoslavoff, to the Associated
Press today.
Our relations with Roumania," he
said, ARE improving constantly:
trouble from that quarter is not en-
pected. But the Macedonian question
is assuming greater proportions each
day with the arrival in Bulgaria OF
hundreds Of fugitives from those parts
OF Macedonia ruled by Serv:a and
Greece, the governments of which
have suppressed the Macedonian in
stitutions, closed the schools and
churches and driven off the private
tea chers.
In Bulgaria at the present time
there are thousands Of Macedonian
refugees, destitute and clamoring for
aid from Bulgaria. 1t is impossible
to say what Bulgaria's action will be.
We are waiting, and must wait"
The premier spoke with strong en-
phasiss He said that the Macedonian
TURKS were zatdins to the problem by
looking to Bulgaria for deliverancc
from Servian and Greek "misrule.''
He had no comment to make on the
general European situation.
The premier pointed out that the
economic condition of Bulgaria was
satisfactory, although the country was
suffering through curtailmcnt of i'm
ports, owing to the state Of war in
Scrvia, the control of the Aegean sea
by the British and French warships
and the disinclinatiOn on the part OF
Roumania to permit the transit
through that country of goods des-
tined for Bulgaria. Attempts made
to improve the situation with regard
TO the imports so lar have been fruit
less, he said.
