Salvaging $35,000,000 worth of gold Ingots and bullion the White Star liner Laurentic is reported to have carried when she was sunk the night of January 25, 1917, off Fanad Light, one of the northernmost headlands of Ireland at the entrance to Lough Swilly, is being conducted by the salvage ship Racer. The princely cargo lay at a depth of twenty-two fathoms. The gold and bullion were contained in the strong chamber amid-ships rendered almost impregnable by its thick steel walls and heavily bolted doors. At first portions of the Laurentic's decks were blasted away and a passage was made clear for the divers. On June 20, the retrieving of the treasure began. The first bucket sent up contained only copper pennies and a few silver coins. Then for several days, bucket after bucket containing three or more gold bars, each worth more than $5,000, were hoisted to the surface and dumped on the deck of the Rapr. The first of these bars brought lusty cheers from the crew of the salvage ship, but tossing fortunes about soon came to be merely another form of manual labor to these sailormen. Most of the gold bars were nine inches long, two inches thick and four inches wide and weighed about twenty-eight pounds. For days not one was found as many of them were hurled clear of the wreck by the" blasting necessary to make the strong chamber accessible. Several feet of sand have now been washed over these scattered bars and neath masses of twisted steel and it frequently requires hours of patient labor to pry them loose. The record-day's haul so far had been forty-seven bars approximately $350,000. Thus far several million dollars worth of treasure has been salvaged. The Racer carries eight divers. Their "tricks" are so arranged that one diver is at work throughout the day. Each works half an hour and then must spend thirty minutes in coming to the surface as otherwise the sudden ' relief from the tremendous deep-water pressure might cause partial or complete paralysis. .They are brought up in ten-fathom "hauls," with ten-minute "rest" intervals. When the day's work is over, the day's catch." if considerable, is dispatched to London with an armed convoy. When first built the Racer was a square-rigger man-o'-war one of the "Woden Walls of England," as the ships of the British navy at that time were known a century ago.

AMERICAN COAL IS DRIVING OUT ENGLISH (By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 22 British industrial interests view with alarm the gaining of a foothold by American exporters in the coal market of France and Denmark. Industrial disputes in Great Britain have given American deale'rs an opportunity to obtain huge orders in quarters formerly supplied exclusively by South Wales mines. American dealers are said to have contracted for the delivery of over 100,000 tons of coal in France, and negotiations are now under way for an additional half-million tons. One or two cargoes of American coal already have been laid down in Denmark as sample shipments, orders for which were placed last March during the strike in England, it is stated. The price was said to be $2.50 per ton lower than the English price at that time. The iron and steel Industries of England also are said to feel their outlook is not very hopeful because of opportunities afforded American competitors through the curtailed English coal production.

BUSINESS IN MEXICO SHOWS EXPANSION

OF AMERICAN TRADE WITH THAT COUNTRY

"MEXICO City, Sept. 22. Despite i conditions popularly regarded In the United States as uninviting to American trade expansion here, ' business between that country and Mexico shows ' a decided upward trend. During the fiscal year just closed imports and exports between the two republics amounted to more 1 than 531,000.000 pesos, according to figures given The Associated Press by W. F. Saunders,-secretary o the American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico City. Of this amount - 876,000,000 represents exports from Mexico and 164,000,000 pesos represents - Imports. Pervious, to the current fiscal 'year. the banner period of Mexican-United States busines was in 1911 when 102,000,000 pesos worth . of goods were exported from Mexico and 146,000,000 pesos worth were Imported. "Deducting amounts representing petroleum which are not considered in the ordinary run of commercial business ,and for increased values of goods, these figures indicate clearly that trade is increasing," said Mr. Saunders. "Mexico will spend ' more than $150,000,000 in the United States during the year 1919, with imports of mardware, machinery, drugs and dry goods leading all others. During the month of August we received more than 700 letters from firms who intimated intensions of establishing branches here. "The end of the war has brought sharp competition for Mexican busines. It is interesting to note in this connection that sentiment is giving way to sound business in dealings with the Germans. It will be remembered that during the war a referendum vote of chamber of commerce members favored a commercial boycott of Germany after the war. This has been forgotten here and German flrmfc. who are conceded to have the firmest hold on the hardware business In the republic, are buying practically all of their supplies from American dealers. Japanese competition i3 negligible." A strenuous effort is being made to Btabalize transportation conditions
