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 The flooding of our marke*- w'ith the alleged cheap wares of Europe has not happened. 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. NEW YORK.

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 pi support from the Lull forces and the larger spet 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 rapid decline of Id to 13 points from the initial quotations. on the break December sold at 12:50; January, 12T March. 12.53, and AJay at 12.5!. further liquidation by longs and short M'hmg by Wall street forced the list st.11 lower dulrng the ate forenoon, t was also believed that the Soulh was long on the market.

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.” Active Trading and Well Sus tained Prices Features—U.

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.- I WANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES LIVE STOCK MARKET.
