doubled during the month, figures this
year being $83,910, as against $36,863
In October. 1913.
In spite of the tremendous Increase
In food shipments,' exports as a whole
old not measure up to last year s fig
ures. The total for the month as re
corded at the 10 chief ports of the
United States, amounted to $83,513,366
as against $147,833,016 the previous
year.

For the week ending November 14,
exports at these ports totaled $47,587,
830, and. officials of the Commerce Bu
reau see In that record a continuance
of the marked improvement In Amer
ican' export trade already noted this
month. The districts selected handle
nearly 80 per cent of the Nation's ex
port trade and the tabulation shows
that the balance In favor of this coun
try on international trade stood last
Saturday at $32,392,214 for the first half
of November. Imports last week to
taled $25,710,988.

dered manifests of forefgn-bound ship
ping withheld from publication for

ber 28. .
Greater Demand Prospective.
It was said at the Commerce Bureau
that the Increase in November exports
probably would show breadstuffs and
fresh meats to be in greater demand,
while Treasury Department officials
believed 'cotton exports had so in
creased in the last two weeks that It
now approached 150,000 bales a week.
The dally statement for Monday notes
the shipment from Baltimore for Liv
erpool of 1749 bales of cotton.
So great has been the European de
mand for breadstuffs that wheat, corn,
barley, oats and flour are going across
the Atlantic from every port In the
United States. Huge shipments have
been made from San Francisco via the
Panama Canal. The total export busi
ness in breadstuffs for the 10 months
ending with October - this year was
$204,216,478. as against $190,220,519 for
tho like period of 1913.
Export trade in mineral oils showed
a marked decline last October, prob
ably because of the seizure of many
oil-laden ships by the British cruis
ers, on the ground that shipments
bound for neutral countries such as
Italy and Holland actually were des
tined for the use of the German army.
Oil exports last month totaled $11 -975,856.
while the October figure for
1813 was $15,053,990.

October exports among the breadstuffs
was in wheat, which rose from 7 000 -000
bushels In 1913 to 19.000.000 bushels
In 1914. Exports of oats Jumped from
$23,640 to $9,322,155. while corn sh

mission was divided on the question
of reorganization.
"I did receive a request for my resig
nation yesterday by telephone," said
Mr. Evans, "and told them that if they
were through with my services I was
ready to resign, but this telegram to
day does not look to me as though they
naa iaKen any such action as has been
reported."
Mr. Evans said that he was not at
all ready to accept the truth of the
ouster report and was Inclined strong
ly to doubt its authenticity. Asked if

said that he supposed if the commission

tne matter. "
