According to a German report of the

forced TO Drop SHINES
The directors of the Hamburg
american Line were forced to take this
s.ep owing TO the fact that Herr
SHINES, having joined the board of
tie company during the war, availed
himself of the first opportunity after
tie war to establish q competing line

statement made by the line en-
rhssizes that in view of this rival un-
dertaking the company was forced to
separate from Herr SHINES. Such q
separation, it is added, was certainly
to be regretted at a time when a
s.,ong concentration of force was more
necessary than ever, but it is declared
hat the Hamburg American Line has
sufficiently proved its earnest de-
sire TO arrive at a concentration Of
al undertakings more or less con-

TOBACCO CRISIS
AT SERIOUS STAGE
Lexington Situation Worst
Since Civil War-Used
AS Fertilizer.

CHICAGO. Feb. lS.-The tobacco
crisis in Lexington, the largest
loose-Ieaf tobacco market in the
world, is declared in reports re-
ceived here to be the most serious
that has confronted the people Of
Kentucky since the civil war.
Tobacco that brought 25 and 35
cents last year has been selling for
3 and cents a pound, and some has
even been converted into fertilizer
because of poor quality.
The crop, which normally ranks
fourth among crops of the United
States and returns more than ST.
OOO, 200, 900 annually. is disposed Of
at auction each year. Hundreds
Of growers today are facing ruin,
with far less than production cost
offered for the 1920 crop, which is
the largest yield ever known.
Auction Sales Blamed.
Some authorities declare the crop
is marketed in a manner which pro-
ducers of less important crops
would regard as a short cut to finan-
reau of Markets blame, primarily,
the auction system of sales in GER
tain sections and the private con-
tract system in others. Tobacco is
one of the few crops hauled to one
place at a certain time Of the year
and sold to the highest bidders.
The grower of Burley tobacco, con-
fronted by a highly organized buy
ing force, sells his crop with an
unorganized selling force" says one
authority.
Serious consideration is being
given the possible establishment of
a tobacco exchange system modelled
largely on the lines of the grain
exchange system. Big growers de-
clared that If the tobacco producers
had a highly organized marketing
system such as is available to grain
growers with hedging" facilities
the problem would be solved. II is
declared that before the exchange
system was developed grain grow
ers were confronted with much the
same conditions as the tobacco
growers of Kentucky.

National Federation of
Export Managers Formed

Announcement has been made of
the organization of the National
Federation of Export Managers,
comprising the directors of foreign
business of the most important in
dustries in the United States. With
the announcement a call was issued
for the first convention of the fed
Grafton to be held at the Pennsyl-
vania Hotel in New York on
March Z.
The organization Of a body repre-
senting the actual promoters and
directors of foreign sales has been
under way for the past year, in an
effort to aid in the coordination
of the various elements essential at
at this time to meet increasingly
strong competition from other
world trade nations. One of the
chief aims of the federation will be
to maintain high standard of per-
sonnel among the export managers
and to require certain qualifications
in, experience and ability for MEM
bership. 1t will work in close con-
junction with such existing organ
izations as the National Foreign
Trade Council. the American Manu-
facturers' Export Association and
the National Association of Manu-
facturers for the purpose OF central
izing in one bureau definite and con-
crete information regarding the
problems of foreign trade.

GOLD IMPORTS SHOW BIG '
EXCESS OVER EXPORTS
Nearly ,O00,OOO,OOO Added to Our Stock
Since the Beginning of the War.
BY The Washington Herald. Economist.

At the beginning of the world
war. or on July l. 1914, the total
stock of gold in the banks and
public treasures Of the United
States amFnted to 1880. S7S.O 900.
Since that time the worlds stock
of gold available for money has
increased approximately s1,5OO.-
100000. OF this amount nearly ST.
00,OO0,00O has come to the United
States. On December l, 1920, the
Federal Reserve Board shows that
the general stock of gold coin, in
cluding bullion in the Treasury
amounted to S2,761,33S,OOO.
Immediately after the beginning
Of the war, there was a steady
flow OF gold from Europe to this
country. In 1916 the excess Of i'm
ports over exports of this metal
amounted to more than $3.50, 900, 900.
This flow of gold was maintained
from the beginning of 1915 until
after the armistice, though in the
later years the amounts were con-
siderably smaller. On June l, 1919,
he embargo on the export of gold
from this country was removed and
after that time there was a marked
outward movement of this metal,
going chiefly to the Far East. to
