MARKET FOR COTTON GOODS.
Ceylon Reported as Offering 0ppor-
tunity to American Manufacturers.

Ceylon offers a splendid opportunity
for the introduction of all lines of
American cotton goods, despite sharp
competition from other countries, ac-
cording to a special report today by
the Department of Commerce. AS
proof of this the Partially of the ma
tives of the island for American gray
drills is cited.
st is a question of introducing grades
that appeal to the popular fancy and
then keeping the quality uniform" the
report says. "Once a grade is well
known and favorably known it is very
hard to displace."
Ceylons imports of cotton goods ag-
gregate 100000 annually. and of this
amount the United States supplies abou,
$4,000 worth.

Ar tria-Hungary has granted per-
mission for the establishment of
American Red Cross units in the dual
monarchy, withdrawn several months
ago because of lack of funds. While as
yet no word has been heard from Ger
many, officials hope Austria's action in
dicates similar concession on the part
of the Berlin government. The allies
are willing to pass the units and their
supplies through the blockade, and Red
Cross officials plan to send them as
soon as volunteers are enrolled and
their names approved by the interested
governments. 1t is entimated that
each unit of four surgeons and eight
nurses will cost about $4,000 for six
months
