Last Monday very enjoyable eve

given in Ward Springs. We were
glad to see some of the Grey Eagle

the evening even though they did
arrive just in time to help themselves
to the midnight lunch. Everybody
tried to make "long stay" as this

RUM CIRCULAR BRINGS
TWO CASES TO AGENTS

NEW YORK, April 20.-Prohibi-
ton agents who recently came into
possession of circular from a con-
Germ having offices on upper Broad.
way, which offers to supply whisky,
gin or alcohol in any quantity de-
sired, yesterday had a case Of rye
and another of gin delivered to
them at specified address and
promptly arrested the driver Of the
truck.
The circular cautioned customers
not to use the words whisky or
''gin," but to order by number
''No. 104" for the former and mo.
102" for the latter. So they tele-
phoned Finley & Co.." as the circu-
lar gave the name Of the concern,
and ordered case Of each Of the
numbers.
Sure enough, the prohibition
agents who were waiting yesterday
at 1913 Eldridge street, where they
had pretended they were restau-
rant proprietors, saw a wagon drive
up and two cases and a five-galIon
jug were taken into the place.

BRITISH TRADE
5. BRINGS POUND
| NEAR PAR
Position Nearly as Good With
European Countries as 1t
7 Was in 1913.
BY DIR. CHARLES e. LYON, I
Acting Chief, Western European
Division, Bureau Of Foreign and r
Domestic Commerce, U. s.


Division, Bureau Of Foreign and :
Domestic Commerce, U. s.
Department of Commerce.
Written Expressly for Cosmopolitan
News Service.
British trade has made q phenom-
email advance in recent months. Her
adverse trade balance during the
war is being rapidly decreased.
Europe is now the worlds largest
importer, and will undoubtedly re-
main so.
Great Britain's European export
surplus in 1922 amounted to $780,
900 pounds sterling, which was, quite
a reversal from an import surplus
Of 1890, 900 pounds sterling in 1921.
In spite of the disturbed economic
Russia, Continental Europe as a
whole has sufficiently recovered
from the effects of the war to sup
ply Great Britain with nearly one
third of her total imports. This
means that British trade in 1922 was
back again in nearly the same chan
nels as in 1913.
Last year Great Britain's exports
to European countries amounted to
80 per cent Of her total exports, an
increasing proportion over 1921 fig
Ures.
Get Less From u. s.
The British unfayorable balance
Of trade in commodities is rapidly
decreasing, and it is significant
that her excess Of 437 ,0O0, 900 pounds
sterling of imports from the United
States in 1920 has shrunk in 1922
to 146,2O0,OO0 pounds sterling. In
1922, British trade showed an in
crease of Is to 20 per cent over
the 1921 figures. Some important
lines of export, like machinery,
made little progress; but others,
such as coal, iron and steel, made
remarkable gain. Cotton textile ex-
ports increased over 40 per cent.
The adverse commodity balance
was only about 180, 100000 pounds
sterling, figure considerably less
than British invisible exports.
These invisible exports consist of.
interest on foreign investment, re-
ceipts from British shipping, and
British banks and insurance conn
panieS abroad, together with smaller
items. 1t is estimated that sums
received from these sources ex-.
balance in 1922 from $500, 0O0, 900 to
$400, 900, 900, leaving this sub
stantial amount for investment in
foreign countries.
British trade in Central and
South America is increasing, partly
because of British branch banks,
export houses, shipping services,
etc. in those parts OF the world.
Pound Nearly Par.
There seems no doubt that Great
Britain is rapidly regaining the
state of financial and commercial
equilibrium of pre-war times.
British exports are only slightly
less than 5000. 100000. Below Am.
ericaE exports, and the disturbed
continental situation arising out of
the occupation of the Ruhr has
caused increased export demand for
British coal, iron and steel products
within the past few weeks.
The approach of the pound ster--
ling to less than 4 per cent below
par has recently brought British
price levels for export to a. figure
equalling or exceeding American
prices in many cases.
