C1A0A GAIN
Remarkable Increase in Trade Is
Cited as Proof of Need
For Reciprocity,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21,—The need
of reciprocity with Canada was strik
ingly shown in a report issued to
day by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce.
This report sets forth that despite
the high tariff wail between the
United States and the Dominion that
territory during the fiscal year Just
ended was the world’s largest pur
chaser in the market of the United
States.
The total value of United States ex
ports for 1913 was $415,000,000 again3t
$216,000,000 in 1910.
“Manufactures,” says the report,
"form about two-thirds of the Ameri
can merchandise exported to Canada,
and were the chief factor in the re
markable gain by which trade has
practically doubled in three years.”
Under the broad reciprocal agree
ment urged by Mr. W. R. Hearst three
years ago, tariffs on the mutual ex
change of the commodities of the
United States and Canada would have
been lessened to such an extent that
the Dominion imports would have far
exceeded the 1913 fiscal year figure.
A Clinching Argument.
Steps were taken to-night to bring
this report to the attention of Con
gress as the most convincing argu
ment yet advanced for the enactment
into law of an agreemet between the
United States and Canada.
It was pointed out that inasmuch
as the Hearst reciprocity agreement
adopted in an amended measure by
the Taft administration, called only
for decreased duties on commodities
mutually exchanged, the manufac
tured exports of the United States
would have remained practically the
*iame, while Canada’s purchases from
the American farmer would have
greatly increased.
Through the drastic reductions in
the present tariff bill, Canada will
virtually get all the advantages pro
posed in the reciprocal agreement,
without making return to the United
States.
She will be able to purchase more
cheaply than ever in the United
States, while the American consumer
will still have to pay Canadian duties
on goods imported from the Dominion.
The report in part follows:
"Passenger and freight cars lm-
prted from the United States in
creased in value from $500,000 to
$5,333,000 in the past three years, and
the export of automobiles to the
Dominion nearly tripled, increasing
from $3,333,000 to $9,260,000.
Gains by Millions.
"Other gains were copper pigs,
bars, etc., from less than $1,000,000
to more than $6,500,000; steel rails,
from less than $1,000,000 to nearly
$4,000,000; cotton cloths, from $750,000
to $2,500,000; locomotives, from
$250,000 to more than $1,000,000;
lumber, from $5,000,000 to $13,333,000,
structural iron and steel, from less
than $3,000,000 to more than $9,000,-
000; metal working machinery, from
$333,000 to $2,333,000; agricultural
implements, from $3,333,000 to„ practi
cally $7,000,000.
"The gain in raw materials and
foodstuffs was less pronounced.
"The actual gain in exports from
the United 1 States to Canada in the
fiscal year, 1013, was $86,000,000; that
in exports to the United Kingdom,
$33,000,000: Germany. $35,000,000;
Netherlands. $22,000,000; Belgium,
$15,000,000; Italy, $11,000,000; Europe,
as a whole. $138,000,000; to all South
America, $14,000,000; to all North
America, except Canada. $15,070,000.
"According to Canadian figures the
United States supplied 63 per cent of
the imports of Canada in 1912, against
58,4 per cent in 1902.
"The growth in the import trade
with Canada is less striking, the total
being $95,000,000 in 1910, compared
with only $121,000,000 in 1913.”

Try to Convince McAdoo More
Than Million Allotted Is Needed
to Move Bumper Crop.
Promised $1,000,000 from the United
States Treasury, the national banks
of Atlanta are arguing strongly to
convince Secretary McAdoo that At
lanta deserves a larger portion of the
$50,000,000 which he has volunteered
to let the banks use at 2 per cent this
fall, during the trying days of market
ing the crops of the South and the
West.
Since the Secretary made his allot
ment. crop prospects in the Southeast
have brightened as rapidily as the
outlook in the West and Southwest
has dimmed. Drouth makes it look
as if the West will have a shortened
yield, against the Southeast’s bumper
crop. This is one of the arguments
the Atlantans are u^Ing to prove they
can use the money to greater advan
tage than can cities in other sections.
The expected $1,000,000 may come
within a week. Washington has not
set a definite date. Atlanta banks
will be ready to comply with the re
strictions the Secretary has drawn
Immediately upon notice that the de
posits are available.
Five Banks Eligible.
Five national banks In Atlanta are
eligible to receive a share of the $1,-
000,000. The other, one of the largest
and best, does not believe in main
taining a bank note circulation of 40
per cent, the size the Secretary de
mands.
Of the five eligible banks two have
capital of $1,000,000 each, two have
$600,000 capital and one has $500,000.
The division of $1,000,000, if made
strictly according to capital, would
put about $270,000 In the larger two
institutions, $162,000 in two and $135,-
000 in the fifth.
Ten per cent of the deposit must be
secured by Government bonds.
Government bonds are not a profit
able investment. It is not likely that
any Atlanta bank has $25,000 of them
lying idle. But for this purpose prob
ably they will borrow the bonds.
Many hanks and individuals are glad
to lend their bonds for a small fee.
State Bonds Available.
Commercial paper may be used for
security against the remaining 90 per
cent of the deposits, at 65 per cent of
its value. Assuming a Government
deposit to he $200,000. 10 per cent se
cured by Government bonds, it would
take $514,000 of commercial paper to
secure the balance of the amount.
Municipal or State bonds at 75 per
cent valuation, can be used as se
curity. Many of the Atlanta banks
have such bonds idle at present,
picked up at attractive prices, and
now "coming in handy.”
In spite of all the restrictions, it
will pay Atlantans to conform. Sec
retary McAdoo wants 2 per cent. New
York just now wants 5 1-2, with a
strong probability that the rate soon
will be stiffer.
The necessary clearing house com
mittee to pass on local commercial
paper offered as collateral has not
been named.

The A., B. and A. Railroad, It was
reported on good authority Wed
nesday, has signed up a contract with
the Atlanta Terminal Company
whereby the railroad will be allowed
to enter the Terminal Station instead
of the Union Depot.
The A., B. and A. and the Southern
officials are interested in the con
nection of the road’s tracks on the
west side of the city, and this im
provement will make the contemplat
ed move possible.
Speaking of the situation, a trans
portation official said:
"The A., B. and A.- made a contract
some years ago with the W. and A.
to use the Union Depot, and
the receivers were later called in to
ratify the contract, which they
failed to do. The A., B. and A.
has accordingly been using the depot
under an arrangement which it is
believed will let it out at any time
that it desires to enter the Terminal
Station.”

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—Although Liv
erpool was influenced by early reports
of rains in the Southwest and was low
er than had been expected, the local
cotton market opened steady with prices
showing irregularity, being unchanged
to 2 points lower to 3 points higher than
the previous close.
Selling developed soon after the open
ing. based on the Government's fore
cast for Increasing cloudiness and the
map showing good prospects for rains
and cooler weather in Oklahoma. The
forecast was for showery weather in the
central and Eastern States. The selling
appeared to come mainly from those who
had purchased at yesterday’s low point.
Prices at the end of the first half hour
showed depression of 3 to 6 points from
the opening.
While there were scattered rains re
ported over portions of Texas and Okla
homa, this influence was offset by a
very bullish report from Cordill on cen
tral and northwest Texas and Okla
homa. bringing out considerable buying
and caused heavy short covering. Spot
Interests were also buyers. As a result
of this class of buying the entire early
decline was wiped out and prices during
the lace forenoon stood 4 to 6 points
better chan last night’s close
At the close the market was firm with
prices at a net advance of 6% to 7 points
from the closing quotations of Wednes
day.
