Middleman, Not Consumer,Seems
To Be Reaping Tariff Benefits.
Figures Show Movement,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The Un-
derwood-Simmons tariff law has in
creased materially the importation
of foodstuffs into this country, and,
according to Secretary of Commerce
Redfield, has unquestionably resulted
in broadening the food supply of the
United States.
This deduction is drawn by Mr.
Redfield from statistics Just com
piled by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, showing the
total imports in October last, the first
month in which the new tariff law
was in operation
These are the first official figures
given out and will be scanned with
great interest by politicians as well
as by business men and tne humbic
consumers.

that the American public is paying
for the daily foodstuffs. As a mat
ter of fact, the increased importa
tions at lower rates of duty seem to
have had no effect on the prices

Prices Remain as High.
The Rodfleld statement shows that
there has been a large increase in
the number of cattle imported into
the United States a^nd also a large
increase in the amount of corn, fish,
beef, cream, potatoes, wheat and
other foodstuffs; yet the prices, if
the general complaints of consumers
which have recently ben pouring in

demand from Manchester spinners and

Unsettled weather was reported from

The market acted very well during
the first fifteen minutes in face of the
continued bearish sentiment existing
here and widenced its advance to 6 to
8 points. But the market cracked wide
open after the call, under a wave of
general liquidation. There was no signs
of support from the bull forces and the
larger spot houses who were talking so
confidently yesterday. The strength in
Liverpool spelled nothing and the ring,
commission houses and longs sold the
list with confidence, resulting in a
rapid decline of 10 to 13 points from

• * •
Spinners are said to have called cot
ton freely late yesterday. This was re
sponsible for the sudden upturn around
noon In face of the extremely bearish
sentiment. The calling by spinners was
a signal for active buying by spot
houses, which started shorts to cover
ing. Riordan and Shearson were the
leading buyers during the afternoon,
some of which was thought to be for
spot people and other buyers, thought to
be for Wall Street operators. It is be
lieved that the liquidation yesterday
among scattered longs was heavy, which
tends to weaken the technical position
of the market. However, the bearish
element are advising their friends to
sell on all rallies.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "The practice of following bull
leads at the top and bears leads at the
bottom has become the rule rather than
the exception. ,'Students of The cot
ton market are beginning to think the
talent has lost Its sense of propor
tion. In any event, the talent has been
unable to anticipate the market and
many operators now stand aside in self-
defense.
“Just now the market seems to be
drawing no inspiration whatever from
the bears’ average requirement. There
are some mighty good reasons to believe
that the strain on the supply would be
felt early in the spring, if not in Jan
uary, and that raw cotton values will
advance to a level that will check con
sumption and bring it within th*» scope
of supply, meanwhile there being no
scarcity of cotton now. many influences
are affecting the drift of the market.
One of these Is the outcome Of the so-
called ‘cotton corner’ case, in which, in
effect, the Federal Government has sus
tained its contention that It is illegal
for cotton market operators to work in
concert to the. extent of pooling their
interests to effect the transfer of con
tract cotton from New York to spinners
away from the reach of speculative
shorts. Some months ago, while In
New Orleans, the then United Slates
Attorney General Wickersharn was
quoted as having expressed the opinion
that it was wrong to "bull’’ cotton and
advance its value on the consumer, but
that it was not wrong to "bear” cot
ton and reduce Its cost to the consumer.
If the hands of the hull faction be tied
Active Trading and Well Sus-
Present prices are certainly much
cheaper than Europe expected after the
developments of the past summer and
now with a confirmed small crop —
trade Is undoubtedly helped and stimu
lated in consequence.
Our market gained about 10 points in
the early trading and feeling continued
bullish, but the constant pessimistic ad.
vices from the Northern market have
j an intimidating and checking effect.
New .York again this morning reports
sentiment very bearish on the ultimate
outcome, on the idea of curtailed con
sumption incidental to contraction in
the business world.
Should the Census report Saturday
confirm private forecasts around 12.-
800,000 bales ginned to December 12, it
