CENTRAL AUCTION COMPANY, 12 E. MITCHELL. 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. thing suggested to rJuFJ' VORK 17.

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.” g move immt, rose 1 here, going to 218 American Telephone and Telegraph wn»s purchased for a gain of IV*. which sent the issue to 114V6- United States Steel common and I nion Uaclflc advanced on internation al buying The former rose V* to 66V* and the latter gained a point.
