Notifies British Merchants,

LONDON. April 1.-THE American
consulate here has issued a notice call
ing attention to the facilities offered
by American banks to British mer-
chants trading with the United States.

states is being financed through COM

Referring to the increasing difficulty
merchants are experiencing in obtain
ing commercial accommodation from
English banks as the war progresses,
the notice calls attention to the fact
that the federal reserve act of 1914 en-
powered American banks to accept
drafts based on import or export trans
actions, with the result that there Is
now well developed discount market
In the United States for this class of
transactions. The consul general Of

Wooden Co.'S 10 Per Cent
Raise Affects $4,000 Employees.

BOSTON, April IA 10 per cent
wage increase. effective April Il. was
announced today by the American
Wooden Company. 1t was understood

ment:

give the lower-paid help the greatest
addition to their compensation.

ly equalized the compensation of en-
ployes. Therefore. the increase that
will go into effect April II will take
the form of 10 per cent advance"

COTTON MARKET.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Some scatter
ing liquidation of near months prevent
ed a full response to higher Liverpool
cables at the opening of the cotton
market here this morning. The near
month offerings were pretty well ABB
sorbed by trade buying, however, and
after opening steady at an advance of
to points, active months sold about
points net higher, with May working
up to 1913, July to 1910 and october TO
1925. The weather map showed higher
temperatures in the south and was con-
sidered more favorable, but there had
been little buying on the scattering
complaints of yesterday, and the i'm
proved conditions did not seem to pro-
mote any selling this morning.
Business was moderately active at
the start and there seemed to be some
commission house buying of new crop
months. Liverpool was moderate
seller of October.

Spouse to remarkable trade conditions,
but Marines were relatively quiet.
Trading became light and tentative
after the initial offerings, prices showing
more irregularity.
New Haven an Exception.
New Haven continued to decline, fall

Gossip Restricts Trading.
At no time during the session did the
market move with any show OF acuv-

private wires was of a nature to cause
hesitation and probably had an erect

After the weak turn that followed the
opening some few stocks recovered
fractional gains, while others remained
nominal around the quotations OF the
morning.
Among the firm stocks were Crucible
Steel, which rose to "a, or TX higher;
Maxwell Motors, which recovered all OF

EARNINGS SHOW GAINS
For the First Quarter of 1916 Net
Increase Over the Same Period
in 1915 $4,000.
Lanston Shares Move Freely at 1854
Bond Market Slow Because of
Scarcity of Offerings.
BY L 4. FLEMING.

The net earnings of the Washington
Gas Company for the first quarter OF
1916 were $221,0O0.
These figures show an increase of
$4,000 over the total net earnings for
the same quarter of 1915. Moreover. the
surplus. after the payment of the regu-
lar dividend, calling for s156,o00, was
$4,000.
H. S. Reside, president of the COM
pany, is very enthusiastic on the steady
growth in business and believes that
the present rate of increase will be
maintained, if not exceeded throughout
the year, which would enable the cor
poration to pay its dividend and show
a surplus after all charges of 100000
for the year. something that the COM
pany has not been able to do since the
stock went on $3.50 a share dividend
basis.
The dividend was not earned in 1914.
There IVES a surplus in 1915, but not as
large as may reasonably be expected in
1915.
The company is well satisfied with
its victory in the Interpretation of the
personal tax matter to gross earnings
in place Of gross receipts. BY the legal
victory the Washington Gas Company
is the gamer by 100000 paid in. $4,000
amount each year, which would have
been paid out of the treasury of the
corporation. had the ruling of the
court been otherwise.

that price. After the call a bid of
1874. well maintained. brought out 100
