The foreign trade advmers, of the State department anmounced that they had de- cided to muspend all conferences Wwith British embasey officials here with refer- ence to the informal arrangements which had' been in progress not only to assist Awerican cotton exporters in obtaining payment for cargoes detained, but also to secure for American importers American owned guode now in Germany, contracted for before the order-in-council went into effect.
