AS Coffee Market
Imports During First Half
of Present Year Amount
to 931,OOO Bags, Almost
Equal to Those of France

The Netherlands is resuning its pre-
war Importance as g coffee market,
states a report by Frank w. Mahin,
consul at Amsterdam. to the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Dur
ing the war the receipts and deliveries
Of coffee were very small and were
handled chiefly through Havrc, France.
Since the armistice, Mr. Mahin points
out, imports Of coffee have gradually
been distributed among other European
ports, until the receipts OF coffee in
the Nethe erlands are nearly equal to
those of France, being 931 900 bags in
the Netherlands and $4,000 bags in
France during the first six months of
1921.
During the corresponding period of
1920 and 1919 the receipts in the Meth
erlands we're 455,000 and 464, 900 bags,
and in France 100000 and 3,039 900
bags, respectively. The total receipts
at European ports during the first six
months of 1921 we're 3,447, 900 bags. and
1888, 900 bags in the corresponding
period Of 1920.
The stocks on hand at European
ports On July I, 1921, amounted to
2,011 900 bags, of which 402 900 were in
the Netherlands, and on July 1, 1920.
to Pip 900 bags, Of which 356, 600 were
in the Netherlands. At the end of June,
1921, $4,000 bags from Java and goo, 900
bags from Brazil were en- route to the
Netherlands. About 80 per cent of the
Dutch coffee trade is carried on at Am
sterdam. according to Consul Mahin.

ZR-2 Trip to America
Again Faces Delay
English Air Marshal SAYS He
Will Not Be Influenced
in Naming Day

HOWDEN, England, Aug 20 (By The
Associated Press).-Thc carefully laid
plans of the American aviators for the
departure of the new giant airship
ZR-2 from England on her transatlan-
tic fight on August 25 may have to be
altered to a later date. This became
apparent this forenoon when Brigadier
General +. NJ. Maitland, Great Britain s
Air Marshal. told The Associated Press
he had no intention Of being influenced
"by others" in his selection of the day
for the start Of the final proving Of the
airship by her British builders before
it becomes American property.
American officers and enlisted men,
who are destined to pilot the airship
to the United States, have once or
twice a day for The last fortnight been
obliged to pack their belongings and
make all other preparations for move
to Pulham, whence the start for Amer
lea will be made, only to be disappoint-
ed by cancellation Of the trip because
the weather was considered unfit
The Inconvenience and annoyance of
this oft-repcated performance have
tried the patience of both the American
and the British personnel at the air
drome here to the point Of desperation
and it has given rise to the widest ru-
mors regarding the fitness and air
worthincsa Of the ship.

Mail Line Vessels
Will Leave Port
On Schedule Time
The America Will Return to
Europe August u as Ad-
vertised; Insurance Helps
the Company's Resources

tmmet j. Mccormack, one Of the re
ceivers for the United States Mai
Steamship Company, announced at the
new headquarters, 45 Broadway. yester-
day that arrangements had been com
pleted whereby the vessels of the line
would sail on schedule.
The America, which arrived here yvs-
terday morning, will return to Europt
August 27, as previously advertised
The other liners will continue on the,
original runs.
No statepent was issued by the Ship
ping Board as TO the course it will pur-
sue in its attempts to regain possession
of the nine ships that they seized on
July %. There is little doubt that they
will endeavor to carry out their orig
inal plass, although the possibility OF
the ships being restored to the govern
ment in friendly action is dissipated
Mr.. Mccormack said that he did not
believe a financial statement would be
made public. The creditors ne are
entitled to one, he added, but he did not
think it would be wise to give nforma
ton to competitors that might be used
against the Mail. Mr. Lasker's charges
therefore,, will undoubtedly go unan-
swered until legal steps are taken by
the board to regain possession Of the
fleet.
The presence Of Schroeder repre-
sentative of the North German Lloyd
in consultation at Mail headquarters
with officials Of that company gave rise
to the report that the German line
might finance the Mail over the present
period Of its financial difficulties Mr
Schroeder, however, denied this rumor
and referred all inquirers to C. Won
Ilelmolt, the attorney for the North
German Lloyd. Mr. Won Helmolt was
not in town yesterday.
The appointment OF Alfred E. Clegg Of
the Kerr Steamship Line was con
s;dared commendable move by ship
ping experts. Mr. Clegg's wide ex-
pcrience in ship operations is well
known and he will do much to
strengthen the organization.
Mr.. McCormacls's announcement that
$4,000 900 marine insurance had been
placed on the ships was another master
stroke IN the rehabilitation of the
Mail's resources. as it is q comm on
knowledge that the Shipping Board
would nave proceeded at once to take
over the ships by application to the
courts if the insurance was not placed
1t also was asserted by the Mail Off
clals that the Pocohontas, tied up al
Naples through libel proceedings. .would
be released to-day. Here again tbs
board would have had cause for action
if the ship was offered for sale by the
Italian government. No official an
ouncement was made, however, OF the
date when the Pocohontas will sail for
this port. although cable advces from
Naples state she viii leave there on
