COTTON AS CONTRABAND.

FOREIGN OFfice stateMENT.

August 23, 12.45 p.m.

The following closing prices reached us too late for correction

A Foreign Office statement regarding the declaration of cotton as contraband gives figures of raw and waste cotton into Scandinavia and Holland for the last three months, as compared with the normal average of importation for those three months. The figures show that during those months the importation of cotton had not been rubetantially greater than in times of peace and it may therefore be unfely deduced that, apart from any other measures that have been taken, Germany has not since May on page 4. "eived any counsiderable supply of cotton through those countries. It is not to be anticipated that owing to the delaration Footton sa amutraband, that there will be any great difference in the importation of cotton into the countries concerned, and there is no reason to suppose that American or Egyptian exporters of cotton will in future, be in less advantageous positions than they had been during the last three months.
