Shipments of More Than 13,000 Bales
to Foreign Points From Savannah
is Considered Good Sign.
SAVANNAH, GA., April 28.—The
shipping of 9,555 bales of cotton to
England and 3,203 bales to Germany,
recorded at the -Savannah Cotton Ex¬
change today, caused an optimistic
feeling among the cotton men.
Want Immediate Settlement
“What is wanted is an immediate
settlement of Germany’s affairs,”
said one of the cotton factors. “Un¬
til this takes place business in this
country, especially concerning cot¬
ton, will be at a low level. Germany
ought to pay an indemnity to the al¬
lies, but this keeping the question
hanging fire for so long is simply
putting business in this country in a
bad fix.”
More to Follow.
It is expected there will be larger
shipments made to Europe in a short
time, as it is believed business inter¬
ests all over the world are becoming
uneasy at the delay being made in
settling the European question, and
that those in charge of the settlement
are beginning to realize it.
