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 3upply 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 ’he
total imports in October last, the firs:
month in which the new tariff law
was in operation
These are the first official figures
given out and will be scanned v.itn
great Interest by politicians as well
as by business men and the humb e
consumers.
Although Secretary Redfield’s
statement asserts that the new tariff
law' ha3 broadened the food supply
of the United States there is no ex
planation of its effect on the pric 8
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
charged to the ultimate consumer.
Prices Remain as High.
The Redfleld statement show's that
there has been a largr* 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 his .
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 tar’ff law
and that the consumer w’ould find
himself paying as much for the
things that go into his market basket
as he did under the much-abused Re
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.
Tn considerng these figures it
should be borne in mind that .lie
statistics for the month of October
represent only twenty-eight days, the
new tariff law bavin* gone into ef
feet October 4.
Food Supply Broadened.
Tt should be noted also that the
month of October can riot be taken
as 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 *he
warehouses, however, would seem
lngly tend to increase the imports
above the normal.
“On the whole." says Secretary
Redfleld, “it is unquestionably true
that the food supply has been broad
ened under the present law.
“The first thing suggested to
the thoughtful reader of the figures
will he rhe falling off of Imports in
the first four mo ,ths of this fls<"a!
year of nearly $46,000,000 as com
pared wuth the ame period of 1912

Express Company Is
.Freed in Liquor Case
DURHAM, N. C., Dec. 17.—The
Southern Express Company and E.
A. Wilson, an employee, were to-day
acquitted of charges of delivering
liquor to others than the consignees
illegally.
The State's evidence proved that
liquor had been consigned to William
son Parrish and that Williamson Par
rish had been at an asylum two weeks.
The defense proved there was an
other Williamson Parrish and he came
into court and said he obtained file
liquor. Judge Graham ordered a new
form of blank for signing for ship
ments.

Sterrett Tate, of N. L. Carpenter Co.,
says; “l do not think an advance will
hold just now and expect to see a
gradually declining market, because
there is heavy liquidation of big long
lines yet to come. Another important
factor at the moment is the Govern
ment s ginning report, which is expected
bearish.
• * *
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, w r hich started shorts to cover
ing Rioroan and Shsaraon were the
leading buyers during the afternoon,
some of which was thought to he for
spot people and other buyers, thought to
be for Wall Street operators. It Is be
loved that the liquidation yesterday
among scattered longs was heavy, which
tend= to weaken the technical position
of the market. However, the bearish
element are advising their friends to

The New Orleans Times-Deinocrat
says: "The practice of following buM
eads at the top and bears leads at th?
bottom has become the rule rather than
the exception. tSTudents of The cot
ton market are beginning to think the
talent has lost its sense of propor
tion. In any event, tbe talent has been
unable to anticipate the market and
many operators now stand aside in self-
lefense.
“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 the scope
of supply, meanwhile there being no
scarcity of cotton now. many influences
are affecting the drift of th* market.
° of these is the outcome of the so-
called ‘cotton corne'*' rasp, in 4vtiich. in
effect, the Federal Government has sus
tained its cuntentjon 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-
♦ rfmt cotton from New' York to sptrmer?
away from the reach of speculative
shorts. Some months ago. while In
New Orleans, tbe then United States
Attorney General Wickersham was
quoted as having expressed the opinion
that It was wrong to "hull" 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 bu! 1 faction h» tied
in New York, then the bear operator
may look w*tb greater confidence on
future markets.”

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 17.—Liverpool
was encouraging this morning with fu
tures about 5 points, better than due
and cables reported less hedge selling
and better advices from Manchester
Present prices are certainly much
cheaper than Europe expected after the
development* of the past summer and
now-with a confirmed small crop-
trade is undoubtedly helped and stfinu
lated in consequence
Our marker gained about 10 points in
the early trading and feeling continued
bullish, but the constant pessimistic ad
vices from the Northern market have
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 hales ginned to December 12. it
will help to discredit small estimates
and raise ideat* <>f supply.
Under the circumstances much de
pends on the defense of spot holders
in the South and hank assistance. The
Census report, giving ginning to De
cember 12. will be published Saturday,
December 20. at 9 a. m., our time W’e
compare with 12.439.525 bales last year
and 13,770,721 bales In 1911. During tb°
period of November 20 to December 12
last year there were ginned 585,000 bales
and 954,000 bales in 1911.
The semi-weekly statement giving the
movement for the half week at the 13
leading interior towns is bullish.
Pressure in New York again became
pronounced after the close of Liverpool
and prices here, in sympathy broke to
12.75 for March.-
