COMPANY,

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
Redfleld, has unquestionably resulted
in broadening the food supply of the
United States.
This deduction is drawn by Mr*
Redfleld 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 humb-e
consumers.
Although Secretary Redfield’s
statement asserts that the new tariff
law has broadened the food supply
of the United States there is no ex
planation of its effect on the prices
that the American public is paying
for the daily foodstuffs. As a mat
ter of fact, the increased importa
tions at lower fates of duty seem to
have had no *fTeet on the prices
charged to the ultimate consumer.
Prices Remain as High.
The Redfleld statement shows that
there has been a large increase m
the number of cattle imported into
the United States and 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
on Congress are true, remain as high,
If not higher, than they were under
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
The Redfleld figures seem to raise
the question whether or not the Re
publicans were not very near the
truth when they contended that the
middleman would reap any profit that
might accrue from the new tariff law
and that the consumer would find
himself paying as much for the ,
things that go into his market basket Shipments
as he did under the much-abused Re- Stocks
publican protective system.
The figures compiled by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
Include the Imports and exports for
the first four months of the present
fiscal year.
In considering these figures it
should be borne in mind that vlie
statistics for the month of October
represent only twenty-eight days, the
new tariff law having gone into ef
fect October 4.
Food Supply Broadened.
It should be noted also that tho
month of October can not be taken
a fair test of normal conditions
under the new law, for there was a
large amount of goods in bond in the
warehouses awaiting the more favor
able duties imposed by the new act.
The releasing of these goods in the
warehouses, however, would seem
lngly tend to increase the imports
above the norma!.
“On the whole,” says Secretary
Redfleld, “it is unquestionably true
that the food supply has been broad
ened under the present law.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “The practice of following L ’ll
leads at the top and bears leads at ine
bottom haa 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 haa been
unable to anticipate the market and
many operators now standi 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 lie
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 the 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 States
Attorney General Wickershani 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 bull faction be tied
in New- Y'ork. then the bear operator
may look with greater confidence on
future markets.”

CINCINNATI, Dec. 17.--Mild weather'
has prevailed over the wheat region ant
there is a continuation of the complain
of the plant being too rank for this sea
son of the year. There are very few
actual reports of the plant being ad
v&nced to the jointing stage from the
Southwest.
Texas reports that some of the oat
fields have reached that stage and that
generally through its grain belt tie
rains have been so heavy as to keep
the cattle out of the fields and rank
