board represenltatilves will confer with
Iritish sil. owner'1s II I i ndon ''Iiules
:lay in an effoit to obtain fair treat
ment for American ierchant vessels
in Ihe award of trade privileges -lin for
Aign ports. In making this announc_
m1enit today, the board -aid Captain
Perris, the district manager at Lonl
Elon- hIad been .instructed to imiake
strong representations, particularly
igainst alleged discrimination in the
uwarding of contracts for carrying
I0gyptian cotton to British and Ameri
,anl ports.
It was. considered probable, how
,'ver, 'that the conference would have
L still broader aspect, and trat til
board would Insist that its vessels
have eqtual footing with British ships
in the aw'arding of contracts for the
transpoft of all classes of freight.
Tie board .is understood to have
complained to the British shipping
lines that American vessels rad been
[lened cargoes of 10gyptian cotton al
though in many instances their bids
were lower than those of British shlips
which got the contracts. Captain Fer
ris Is understood to have instructons
to not, only protest against such dis
-rimination, but to insist that half
>f both the direct and Indirect cotton
shipments be carried in Amerienn
bottoms.
In negotiating with British 1i1pping
Interests, offlciais here say the board
will probably take the position that
if its vessels are not 'ssuired fai,
treatment it may be deemed advisable
to invoke retaliatory measures as pro
vided for by the merchant marine act.
Chairman Lasker has discuhsed
with Eugene Meyer, director of the
War Finance Corporation, the .provid
ing of additional tonn'age for Ameri
[an ships. Mr. A.asker was said to
have urgCd tht the flsance corporation,
in ndvancing funls for export of
American goods, stipulate that they
be carried lin American vessels.

seasonal dIullnss in practically all
lines of trade prevented nateial al

board asserted, has been in sone re
spects b letter than usual, 1while the
ol look for a satisfactory auituimn tis
liess in a lilimber of lines, such as
knit goods and cotton textiles, was
declared to be decidedly encouraiging.
Consumers demands as reflected in
the volume of retail- trade, continued
as good as or better than at this time
last year.
Con-tinuing prospect of excellent
food crops was declared to be the
most hopeful feature in the general
outlook. Little change in the cottot
crop was noted, with about tw"o-thirds
of last year's production expected.
'Price changes during the nionth

ces, the board stated. Greater sta
bility was manifest in the textile, boot
and shoe 'industries although import
ant declines have taken place in otheri
lines, such as iron and steel and qpar
ticularly automobiles.
The ueiployment situa-tion has
reiialined practically unchanged, ac

of the savings of men who have been
out of work as well as of ullnelIoy
