SIBERIAN ARMY'S PROGRESS.
Omsk, May 12. The Siberians have captured e- ormous booty in one sector of Ufa alone including huge quantities of arms and munitions, railway mate- rial, steamers, forage, and 10.000 prisoners. The offensive con. tinues successfully, although in some places the enemy is strongly resist- ing.
COTTON:

One of the most serious fea- tures of the present situation at Home is the holding of big stocks by the large exporting houses of high-priced goods that are pract- ically unsalable. It was expected that their would be a large demand in France for this class of stock, but the rigid-import restrictions imposed by the French Government have set calculations. Milliona of pounds are locked up in these stocks, the holders preferring to suspend selling rather than to unload the great production. The chief buying of cotton goods for export during March, says the Times, has been of China, which has been the only active market. India, Egypt and South America have been very dull..

LORD FRENCH'S BOOK.
London, May 13 Further instalment of Lord French's book deals with the Antwerp question. He personally was of the opinion. as late as Ist. October that Antwerp was in no immediate danger, but he was disagreeably surprised in the following days when he learnt of the serious situation This upset the French plans farther south. He again complains of Lord Kitchener's interference and roundly declares that if his and Joffre's wishes had not been ignored in London a better situation would have been created and Lille saved.
