COTTON MARKETS.

New York. April Only 100 bales Of cotton
cleared from American ports for foreign shipment
today. The embargo is therefore officially and
actually complete and while the outward move
ment will doubtless continue for China and
Japan well to Russia through Pacific OCEAN
shipment to England and France and perhaps
also to Russia through the rort Of Archangel
with the opening Of navigation. other neutral
countries must look to England for consent TO
buy and import American cotton.
In view of the frenzied discussion the use
OF American cotton in the manufacture Of OK
rlosves it would appear that the Census. De
partment at Washington and tho consular service
should be invoked to make official reports on
the volume Of this business. Recent suggestions
that O0oC0 bales might be necessary to supply
this demand invite scrutiny. II true this might
go far to explain the campaign for much higher
prices. II untrue the statements arc likely to
foster unwarranted speculation on the part o:
cotton interests. II would be entirely proper

embodiment of the purpose of the
church. uttered through its repre-

trusted the treatment Of its best in
terests. The general conferences Of
1908 and 1912 gave the church the
word. At the convention held in In
