BRISK DEMAND
FOR COTTON GOODS
Cloth Mills Not in Position to
Supply Wants OF
BUYERS.

Fall River, Mass, Jan. 30.-The cot
ton goods markets in New England con-
tinued strong ali last week and prices
very firm and generally unchanged.
Some buyers have their wants covered
for some time to come. and consequent
ly are not anxious 20 bid for their
needs just now, preferring TO wait till
conditions become active. Although
bidding was not always full Of snap,
still if mills were ia position TO sup
ply the wants of buyers and factors
using cloth, the amount that could have
been sold would exceed the weekly pro-
duction Of the mills. which is estimated
at 100000 pieces Of print cloth yarn
construction. Practically all widths
and constructions were in demand. and
the mills, on the whole, did very good
business. The demand for fine goods
is confined 10 deli i'eries up TO July. and
the production Of fine goods mills here
I'D to that time is quite closely sold.
The position of fine goods may be stat
ed as being strong. The success OF
fine goods mills may be gauged by the
fact that several have returned TO the
dividend paying class after having

LLOYDS REAPS RICH
WAR RISK HARVEST
Insurance Against Zeppelins and
plots Profitable.

London. Jan. So More than million
dollars has been paid into the Golfers OF
Lloyds in London by American NUM-
tion and steel concerns as premium in
svrance agains. explosions and kindred
damage TO their plants. The Tribune
learned to-day. Against this enormous
sum Lloyds has paid out to date only
500 900. leaving a net profit IN the
Lcighborhood OF sl.700.0C0. The du
Points or the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany are not on the list, 1t is under
stood
An iica OF the harvest the Insurance
interests are reaping as result OF the
val may be gained by consideration OF
the amounts paid in England for Zep-
polin insurance. Since the first raid
loss S6.000,0 900 has been collected IN
premiums from the British Isles. Prac-
tically all the large holders of property
have taken out policies al the low rate
Of four shillings per $1,000.
Thus far the total amount OF losses
t. the companies has been but 250.OOO.
Insurance men say the Zeppelin busi-
ness is the most profitable of all. A
single broker here. who before the war
was quite satisfied with $4,000 year,
made s1sO,O00 in eight months in COM
missions.

RUSS AGREEMENT
BRINGS VAST TRADE
Shipments Worth Sl,226,279
Approved and Goods Worth
S550,000 Reach New York.

Washington. Jan. 80. As a result Of
the agreement between the Russian
government and the United States 10
facilitate the movement Of goods from
Russia 10 this country much merchan-
disc has already been shipped and both
American and Russian business in
terests have been materially assisted.
The commodities imported from
Russia so far under this agreement
have been principally furs, such as
csracul skins, lamb skins, moufflon
skins and krimmer skins. and also large
shipments OF clover, field grass and
alfalfa seed; fbres, consisting of fax
tow and fax; chemicals and drugs, IN
cluding lycopodium, hcorice root, gum
tragacanth and g.ycerine, and mis-
ccllsneous assortment of other com
modities, such as caviar, Jewelry, oil
and rennets.
The value Of the goods covered by
the applications approved by the Rus
sian authorities Is Sl,226,219, while
goods covered by applications rejected
were valued at Sal 7O43.
These facts are contained In spe-
cial report 70 the Department OF Com
merce from +. {. Porter. commercial
agent at New York. In discussing the
subject Mr.. Porter says:
"The chief interes; in the results Of
this trade agreement is the actual re-
ceipt OF goods from Russia. Interior
transportation difficulties in Russia
have caused considerable delay, and in
many cases the failure of goods 10 ar
rive has been due TO lack Of transporta-
ton facilities.
Nevertheless, fairly satisfactory re
suits have been obtained In the actual
movement of goods from Russia. and
the total value of merchandise received
in New York up TO January | under the
terms of arrangement amounted TO ap-
proximately 100000 A good illustra-
iion of the satisfactory working Of this
arrangement was shown In the arrival
Of the steamships Czaritza and kursk,
Of the Russian-American Line, in New
York on January 3 and (. The bulk of
the cargOcs carried on these steamers
came forward under the terms of the
arrangement and were consigned 10 the
Secretary Of Commerce, and included
- bales OF Persian lamb skins, 147
bales OF miscellaneous fur skins. l6
cases Of gum tragacanth and 20 pack
ages Of hshlinc.
Under the terms OF the arrangement
bonds covering the value of each ship
mcnt made have 10 be filed with the
proper Russian authorities IN the
United States. Up TO the present bonds
10 the value Of 1000 have been ac-
cepted by the Russian authorities. In
addition TO the above amount, a GER
tain quantity OF merchandise has been
received in the United States for which
no bonds arc necessary. This is due
to the fact that certain commodities
which al the time of the formulation of
the agreement were under embargo
nave since been removed from the en-
barge list
