HIGH DOLLAR STOPS COTTON IMPORTS.

LONDON, February 4. Yesterday's finance conference had a full discussion of an explanatory character. Attempts at a solution of the exchangberials by legislation were deprecated, and the possibilities of controlling imports by licences was suggested.. Sir Vassar Smith, chairman of Lloyd's Bank, who was present at the conference, in a speech at the annual meeting of the bank yesterday said unless remedies were promptly applied, it was feared that a gradual and persistent spreading of bankruptcy and anarchy must ensue It is anticipated the Cabinet will come to a decision quickly but the ques- tion will be raised at the next meeting of parliament, in Tuesday's debate on the Address. Meanwhile the effects upon the cotton industry illustrate the likelihood that all sections of the community must be suffering mast severely. Yesterday's dollar quotations brought the cotton import business of Liverpool to a complete standstill and importers have begun to reship cotton to America. The matter is most serious for the operatives because the present stocks without fresh imports will be exhausted in ten weeks, although there are considerable quantities at sea.
