J. Archibald acknowledging the sum
OF $1,000 from the German embassy

not clear. except that certain war

declined to accept 1t.
That Emerson also overdid the

American Ships Carry 14.5 Per Cent of Goods
 Exported From Country

New York. February 2s.-American ships carried 145 per cent of the s6,5S1.- S6e, 595 in merchandise imported and ex- ported by the United States during the fiscal year of 1s15-1s. says a statement issued tonight by the New York Chamber of Commerce. At the port of New York the proportion of cargoes carried under the American flag rose to 17.6 per cent. A year ago. 1t was pointed out, 15.32 per cent of the foreign carrying trade values recorded at this port came in American vessels.
 More than one quarter of the total imports aggregating s1,191, ,865.932 came to New York in craft of American owner ship last year." said the statement. The value of the goods was $3o5, 1911, ,37S. This compares with SST9.5S9.929 carried in for eign vessels and with S6414.s75 carried in land vehicles.
 Domestic exports were shipped to the extent of scarcely one-seventh in Ameri- can vessels. A total value of s3o7, 413, ,S4l represented home tonnage compared with q, ,9S9, IT, ,040 in foreign vessels"

Dun's Weekly Review

New York. February 23.-Duns review tomorrow will say:
 Partial relief from the traffic conges- ton has bettered the position of business. though progress in many directions con- tinue hindered by the delays in transpor- tation. Inability to promptly secure ur- gently needed supplies of raw materials still affects most industries adversely
 and not little machinery is idle, while distribution Of the necessities is impeded and the strength of prices intensified Obstacles in overseas shipping also re- strict export movements, and the doubts about foreign affairs make for general caution in entering upon engagements for the future. Unlike the recent experience demands are mainly confined to imme- diate requirements, and speculative ten- dencies arc discouraged; yet federal con tracts accentuate the pressure on produc- ing forces and consumption of staple products is sustained in large volume. notwithstanding the high prices. Many commodities, in spite of the rapidity and extent of the previous upturn. have risen further to an Unprecedented level The extreme living costs cause increasing complaint and curtailment of purchasing Is more apparent, but the buying power holds up remarkably well under the con ditions, and it is notworthy that savings deposits are steadily accommodating.

Veterans Indignant

Montgomery. February 8.-Confederate Veterans are indignant because H. G.
 Cary, chairman of the finance commit tee of the Confederate Veterans re- union, is writing to southern cities ask ing these cities to put up the money for the reunion expenses. General Smith of Birmingham contends that General Harrison should call off the reunion at Washington. and hold 1t in some southern city. General Harrison stated at Opelika today that he was greatly surprised to see the appeal for financial assistance ap- bearing in southern newspapers, and that he was taking the matter up with the Washington committee immediately. as the committee had assured the veterans that they would finance the reunion when bidding for it last year at Birmingham.
