PROSPECT NOT GOOD
FOR SELLING COTTON

Washington, Feb. 15.-Prospects
for increasing the foreign sale of
American cotton were described as
unpromising in additional consular
reports submitted to the senate to-
day by President Wilson in re-
sponse to a resolution Of inquiry.
Foreign exchange, labor and other
conditions were declared unfavor-
able to purchases from the United
States during the present year.
Italy, the consular reports said, is
expected to require between 100000
and $4,000 bales of American cot
ton this year, as compared with q
normal demand of $4,000 to $4,000
bales. Present Italian stocks, it was
reported, are maple for two months.
Prospective purchases of Ameri-
lean cotton by Sweden were placed
at 10000 bales this year, as com
pared with normal annual purchases
of from 10000 to 10000 bales.
Sixty per cent of the Swedish spin
dies were reported idle.
French purchases of American
cotton this year the reports said, are
expected to show a reduction of 20
per cent. Last year France pur-
chased $4,000 bales of the Ameri-
can product.
The outlook for purchases of the
American cotton by Holland was
said to he mot bright" and bnly
about one-ffth of the spindles Of
Czecho-Slovakia were reported in
operation.

U. S. PRAISED BY
PRESS OF LONDON
America Opened Treasury Reserves
To Send Silver To India
During War

London, Feb. 15.-Newspapers of
this city today gave considerable at
tention to the address of Lord Read
ing viceroy of India before the Eng
lish Speaking Union on Saturday
night, during which he told of the
United States opening its treasury
reserves to send silver to India dur
ing the war. In their editorial COM
ments, the newspapers expressed
the Eveliest appreciation of this ac-
ton on the part of the United
statse which brought considerable
relief to England at time when af-
fairs in India appeared to be criti-
cal.
Remembrance of acts like these"
says the London Times, "Should en-
able both peoples to judge a great
deal of ill-considered talk with be-
coming contempt.
The Telegraph says the transac-
ton was most eloquent of the value
of American good will toward this
country, adding:
"When it comes to a pinch, even
in wartime, such an act never could
have been done if deep lying SEN
timent had not been there to fur
ther it"
The Chronicle declares that the
act of the United States might be
compared with the decision of Cen
eral Pershing to permit American
troops to lose their separate identity
and be brigaded with the French
and British during the spring OF
1918.

10000 AUTOS ARE
WITHOUT LICENSES
One Half Of Owners Have Thus Far
Secured Tags

Columbia, Feb 15.-Forty thou
sand automobiles in South Carolina
have not as yet been licensed for
1921, and 100000 South Carolina
automobiles are liable to the law in
South Carolina for operating cars
without current licenses. The state
highway department reports that
only slightly over half of the cars
of the state have so far secured
their licenses for this year.
Up to today the total amount of
license money collected by the high
way department, through the motor
vehicle license division, had reached
$516,55s, which is not far from the
entire amount of license money col
lected during all of last year. Last
years automobile license money
totaled S527,868. The large proper
tionate increase in the license col
lections is due to the fact that motor
vehicles are licensed under a differ
ent scale this year, the average be-
ing higher than last year.
The highway department ordered
147,OOO licenses for 1921. With
dealers and individual motor We
hicle licenses and also transfers and
new cars purchased, the number will
all be issued by the end of the year,
it is expected.
