OIL TANK STEAMER
 WRECKED AND B OF
 CREW ARE RESCUED
American Liner Philadelphia Picks Up Crew of the Chester When Lat ter Is Found in Sinking
 Condition

New York, February 5.--The Standard
 oil tank ship Chester, which left New
 York January 23 for Rotteiflam, was
 wrecked and abandoned in midocean
 and her crew of about B were rescued
 by the American liner Philadelphia, ac
 oording to wireless today from the
 Philadelphia's captain.
 The raes.age did not state the evaet number rescued. The following an
 nouncement was made by the Phila- delphin's owners:
 Captain Miles this afternoon reports
 by wireless the rescue at I:30 o'clock yesterday morning, February 1, of the
 crew of the Standard Oil tank steamer Chester. which was abandoned in a sink ing condition in latitude 4T06 north longitude 32.53 west.
 The Chester sailed from New York for Rotterdam January 23. with cargo
 of oil. The Philadelphia, which left Liv-
 erpool last Saturday afternoon. was 1s40
 miles east of Ambrose channel light ship this afternoon and will probably not dock until Monday. The Philadelphia has been delayed and indications are that the delay was due to her standing by the Chester and taking off the crew. Officials of the Standard Oil com pany said the Chester carried crew of about 35. Other than the wireless
 message they had received no word that the vessel had been wrecked.

COTTON SHIPMENTS
 DURING THIS WEEK
 LARGEST ON RECORD
5S5,O32 Bales Shipped From New Or leans-Foreign Demand for the Staple Is Seemingly
 Unsuitable

New Orleans, February 5-Shipments of cotton this week from United States ports were the largest on record. They totaled 5S5.032 bales, of which 3,476 went to for eign countries and 10l,556 moved coast wise. While it was known throughout large it was not expected that it would gc so far over the half-million mark. These unprecedented clearances were made possible by the enormous accumu- lation of cotton at the ports, stocks to- night amounting to 1,s25,674 bales. and the seemingly unsuitable demand from abroad. Foreign exports thus far this season amount to 4,12O.257 bales
 The large exports. coupled with the very heavy mill takings for the week. 4ioOoo bales, against 36S 600 this week last year, gave decided prominence to reports which come in from Manchester and Liverpool during the last few days, to the effect that many English mills are under great CT pressure to fill orders than they have been for 30 to 40 years, and that many Manchester merchants are figuring on orders for war material which run. up into the millions of yards.
 Reports from southern ports that cot ton is going on shipboard at a rapid rate the heavy port stocks and reports of increased activity among the mills led to predictions tonight that there would be no falling off in the outward move ment of cotton during the next several weeks unless naval warfare in the Wa ters adjacent to Great Britain should take turn decidedly unfavorable to shipping.

URGES JOINT LOAN
 TO PROVIDE WAR
 FUNDS FOR ALLIES
English Bankers Think Loan Could Be FlOated in New York, PetrO- grad, Paris, Tokio and
 London

London, January 26.--(Correspond bankers believe that should the allies issue a joint loan to provide war funds 1t would be floated in New York, Pet rograd, Paris Tokio and London. Such loan probably would be at per cent, guaranteed by England. Russia. France and possibly Japan. That plan. it is considered, would be better than attempting to raise three separate loans, as Russia would have to pay n higher rate for accommodation shan Great Britain or France, and Japan a shade more than Russia.
 That money will be required soon aft CT the turn of the quarter is realized from the fact that the daily expendi- lures of the allies, even put conserva- lively. are something like $20,O00, 900. Some s2,500. .0O0,O 900 already has been spent Then there are some smaller countries to finance and Russia has to be assisted through the deadlock in the exchange by the closing up of usual trade channels.
 An official Paris statement yesterday
 February D announced that Great Britain, France and Russia gould unite their financial resources and share equally in advances to coun- tries fighting with them, issuing joint loan for that purpose. There was no intimation however. that the gen eraI expenses of war would be met by raising funds in that manner.
