LOOKED UPON AS AN
 IMPORTED OMISSION
Failure Of British Reply to Explain That American Exports Probably
 Were Forwarded to Russia.

London, Jan. II, 2:12 D. m.-The opinion prevails among American shipping agents in London that Wash ington will answer the British prolin.. mary report to the American shipping note because of what they term its ex parte nature. While Great Britain made it clear that no reply was ex- pected until it had given its own final answer, which probably will be with in a fortnight, American shippers be- lieye there are certain phases of tiIe preliminary note which require cx- planation.
 The failure Of the British reply 10 explain that copper and other Ameri- can exports to neutral countries prob ably were forwarded in large quan- titles to Russia is looked upon as an important omission. Another poin. dwelt upon by shipping agents is the fact that Great Britain has not taken into account the virtunlly compIete cutting off of German exports to neu- tral countries, which of necessity muet buy from the United Ststes goods which cannot be had from Germany or England.
 Considerable comment has been aroused by the fact that both tho American note and the British re- sponse scarcely touched upon the chief grievance of shippcrs-the great delay in determining wh ether cargoes detained are contraband. Agents of American firms which have suffered from this condition feel that actual statem ents of the annoyances and de- lays which shippers have endured would hasten an adjustment of dif- ferences more effectively than general statements without details of specific cases.
