THK ATLANTA GKUKQIAN AND N LWS. i ' . D. S. EXPORTS TD JITLITfl BUSKS 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.” In Atlanta It’s The Georgian People look to whenerver they went to buy, mU, trade, rent, g«t help or . position.

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. LIVERPOOL.

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.
