71 per cent in October, 1915.
The month’s export balance was
$314,200,000, compared with $187,000,

SCOTCH ESTATE WITH
AMERICAN MONEY
LONDON, Dec. 6.—Harry Lauder,
who has amassed a fortune mostly by
amusing the American public, and
who never willingly let any of it go,
let loose of a goodly sum today when
he bought the famous estate of Glen
Banter and the lands of Baltimore,
comprising more than 14,000 acres.
Glen Banter belonged to David Mac
Brayne, the ship owner of Glasgow.
The mansion house on Lauder’s new
estate stands about four miles from
the pier at Strachur. Water, hills and
pasture land are included within the
boundaries of the estate. Harry also
will be able to paddle around in about
four miles of Loch Eyk, which falls
into his possession with the land.
