BRITISH SEEK PRODUCTS OF THE DOMINION Producers’ Association Head Visits Canada to Aid Business. OTTAWA, Aug. 20—Ben H. Morgan, president of the British Empire, England, Is In Canada now. Speaking of the association's activities, he says: "The first plank in our activities is preference. It seems preposterous that the British people should semi their kith and kin to the dominions, support them with British captain and credit and then fall to make arrangement* with them to purchase the products of their industry. “Only the day before I sailed, at a conference of British agriculturists. British farmers and Cololilal agricultural interests passed a resolution lu favor of making the Empire self-supporting In the matter of raw materials. For that purpose it was considered essential that a central clearing houe of Information should be established to bring about Empire cooperation in production. WISH CANADIANS TO PUSH PRODUCTS. “We also want Canadian manufacturers of articles competitive with American goods to put their products in the United Kingdom. There are many articlea, such as small tools and agricultural machinery, produced over here in large quantities that would find a big market at home. We already use quantities of Canadian agricultural machinery, and the mass production of such manufactures in Canada should enable her to compete successfully in the British market. There are enormous quantities of American small tools that could well be supplied by Canada.” The work of such an organisation, especially at the preaent time, is important in that it ahowa the efforts that Britain is making to take advantage of the sentiment aroused over the practical exclusion of certain Canadian products from the United States. That a measure of success will attend these efforts is undoubted. Canadian trade during July took another severe clump, the total value being only HIS.R4fI.OOO, as compared with $234.180,000 for July of last year. The Imports were valued at *62.405.000, as against $127,208,000. while the total exports were $36,500,000. as compared with $100,900,000 for July, 1020. As an indication of how Imports have fallen off during the last four months, the customs collections for this period last year amounted to $73,000,000; this year they amounted to but $39,000,000. PORT OF MONTREAL DOES HUGE BUSINESS. The port of Montreal is doing a huge business these days, there having been no less than fifty-five ocean vessels In that harber during one day this week. The presence of such a large number is due to the heavy movement of grain to Great Britain and Europe generally. Vancouver advices relating to business in British Columbia say; “Retail business Is good and bills are being well paid. There is not much evidence of increased economy, but undoubtedly many people will have to meet the issue before the coming winter is over. On the whole, we have a feeling here that our position Is a little better than It Is in the East.”—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
DAWES PUTS BAN ON RUSH PRINTING Step in Plan to Save Another $18,000,000 a Year. Special to Indiana Dally Time* and Philadelphia Public ledger. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Aw the first step In the economy drive agalnßt the Federal Government's enormous printing expenses, Gen. Charles G. Dawes, budge! commissioner and George 11. Carter, the public printer, have put a ban on rush order work, which is the most expensive. Preliminary to the suspension of scores of non-essentlai Government publications, most of which were started and are being printed for promotion of departmental bureaus and their chiefs, Gen eral Dawes has decided to put an end to the rush order system. Every department and bureau of the Government regards Its work as the most essential and none is content to obtain its printing in the regular way. To gain right of wsy over the requisitions of other departments It has become a popular practice to have an excess of “double X special rush" work, which in most Instances repuires special forces and much overtime. The Budget Commit sloner hopes for a saving of $18,000,000 a year through that and oter reforms. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos. PUTTING ON “DOG."

ROME, Aug. 29.—Telephone booths are now popular as places in which to abandon babies. During one wvek seven infants were found deserted In booths.

GRAIN RATE CUT HANDICAPS SOUTH Exportations Through New Orleans Made Less. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 29.—The seven and one-half cent cut in the grain rate to Eastern points virtually will cut out grain exportations through the South, except from Texas, Oklahoma and south Kansas, according to business interests here. Carl Giessow, manager of the Joint Traffic Bureau, says; “No grain at all will come to New Orleans by rail If the North and South lines do not voluntarily, or are not required to, meet the reduction. Galveston, because, of the 1 low Interstate grain rate, would get all of the Texas grain and all of that of Oklahoma and southern Kansas, because j of the 5-cent differential in her favor j maintained by the 'Santa Fe and the Mis- | sourl, Kansas & Texas. “Mr. Hoover Intimates that he used as a club on the Eastern lines his power I to speed the adjustment of their claims against the Government, and it seems to me he could use the same influence on the North and South lines if he desires ! to aid all the farmers and not discriminate against any port."—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 —Authority for the establishment of foreign trade xones in ports of the United States, where goods intended for re-export may be lauded without payment of duties, will be sought in conjunction with the pending tariff leg slatlon In the Senate. Senator Jones of Washington, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce. has been Instructed by that committee to urge the adoption of the foreign trade rone bill as an amendment to the Fordney tariff bill.

Senator Jones will urge the Finance Committee to incorporate the measure in the tariff bill, and, falling in that, will present the amendment on the floor of the Senate. The movement for the establishment I of foreign trace tones has gained headway ns the result of an investigation by the tariff commission, which held extensive hearings and recommended legislation on the subject. The bill authorizes the Secretary of i Comerce to grant to public corporations the privilege of establishing, operating and maintaining foreign trade xones In or adjacent to ports of entry, under the Jurisdiction of the United States. Foreign and domestic merchandise of every description may. unless otherwise provided, be brought into such a xone and i there "stored," exhibited, broken up, roi packed, assembled, dlstr buted. assorted, refined, graded, cleaned, reived with for- , elgn or domestic merchandise or otherwise manipulated without being subject to the customs laws of the United States The goods would be subject to duty only when sent from such a xone Into the United States customs territory. Foreign trade xones would be operated as public utilities aud all rates and charges for serviaes and privilege* with in the xones woald be 'air and reasonable. The public corporations operating such xones would be required to maintain adequate docks, transportation and similar facilities.— Copy right, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos. NO WORD COMES FROM HAYNES Federal Officials Here Fail to Get Order to Destroy Stock of Liquor. No official word of the order issued by Prohibition Commissioner Roy Haynes at Washington regarding the destruction of confiscated liquor stork* held by Federal officials throughout the country had been received in this city, according to Bert Morgan, prohibition officer for Indiana. Until this order is received Mr. Morgan says no store of any kind will be taken. According to dispatches the order provided that all impure and adulterated liquor should be destroyed. W O. Holman, group chief of prohibition agents in this territory, said that there is very little of this class of liquor in storage, as It always has been the custom of prohibition agents to destroy all “white mule’’ and mash, etc., when seixed. Only bottled in bond goods are kept as a general rule. Mr. Holman said that at Hammond there was a small i quantity of ‘mnle,” probably not more than five gallons. According to his figures there is not a great amount of liquor held by prohibition ageuts In Indiana. Forty eight qunrts are held in Mr. Holman's office here, 748 quarts at Terre Haute and about 350 quarts at Hammond. The largest stock of confiscated liquor In Indiana is being held at the Federal building by United States Marshal Mark Storen under orders of the Federal District Court.

LIVESTOCK POOL LOANS BIG SUM $6,400,000 Advanced on Cattle and Sheep, Says Official. KANSAS CITY, Aug. 29—Loant on eitttle and sheep by the *fG,(XK),OOO live stock pool now total $8 400.000, according to M. L. McClure, president and general manager of the organization. ’ “Os our loa.us so far," Mr. McClure said, $900,000 was made on sheep. We supplied $900,000 on aged Bteers and the other loans were on stock cattle, including breeders and yearlings. Texas leads In the amount of loans on stock, which is natural, as it is the largest cattlebreeding State in the country. “We are getting an excellent class of business. The -breeding stock on which loans are being made is being held on ranges with an abundance of feed. The operations of tho pool have had a psychological effect, that has doubtless re duced some of the demands that were expected. However, we have many appllcatinos for additional loans. "At a meeting of the directors of the pool, which is operating as the Stock Growers* Finance Corporation, satisfaction was expressed over the help it Is giving to the livestock industry. The directors report conditions in the industry improving, with the great abundance of feed acting ns a powerful stimulant." Livestock Interests here take pride in the fact that the pool is the flret of the character successful In the United States with the help of bankers in all pans of the country Kansas City has made only one loan from the pool. So much new wheat la coming in that banks in wheat districts are absorbing nil the cattle paper created here. —Copyright, 19*21, by Public Ledger Cos.

STOCK EXCHANGE DROPS RIO GRANDE Quits Quotation on Word Property Sold. NEW YORK. Apg. 29.—The New York Stock Exchange governors today struck common and preferred stocks of the Denver and Rio Grande Company from the list of securities dealt In on the exchange. The committee on stock list based its recommendations on notification received from the secretary of the company that It had turned over its property to the Western Pacific Interests to whom It was sold In November for $5,000,000, under a decree of foreclosure and sale In satisfaction of a Judgment obtained by the Equitable Trust Company of New York. The Denver and Rio Grande Protective Stockholders’ Committee has sent to shareholders of the old company a letter urging them to deposit their stock with the committee and contribute the fifty-eents-a-share assessment, levied to defray the committee's expenses in bringing legal action for the reparation and restitution of the property from Interests whose practices, it charges, were irregular in the acquisition of the road. —Copy-rightNl9-l, by Public Ledger Cos. IDAHO SEEKING NEW WATERWAY Commercial Clubs and Business Men Ask Congress’ Support. BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 29.—The construction of a system cf locks and canals in ! the Snake River above Lewiston that would give Southern Idaho water transi portation to the Pacific Ocean, is being ! urged upon Congress by Idaho commeri clal clubs and business men. The effort was started by S. J. Haw--1 kins, of Rupert, Idaho, and Senator Frank R. Gooding has been asked to I secure a Government appropriation for ! a survey of the project to determine the ! actual cost of carrying out the plan. The construction work proposed consists of the building of a system of ! locks in the Snake River from Shoshone i Falls to Lewiston, and a canal from American Falls to Shoshone Falls. As the | Columbia and Snake Rivers have already been made navigable to Lewiston, | completion of the work now proposed wouiS provide water transportation from | points in the interior of Idaho to Portland and Astoria, where freight shipments could be transferred to ocean steamers. Thus, an all water route, via the Panama Canal to Atlantic coast cities would be available In the marketing of , the commercial products of southern Idaho. At a cost approximately $1,000,000, the Government six years ago completed the Installation of the Celilo locks I on the Columbia River, near The Dalles, > Ore., which made possible water transportation from Lewiston to Portland and Astoria, on the Snake River and the Columbia. The Improvements advocated by Mr. Hawkins and the supporters of his enterprise would extend the Snako River waterway far Into Idaho; and the possibility of a canal to be built In the future from American Falls to Salt Lake is suggested. The entire district between Spokane and Salt Lake would be benefited by a water route to tidewater, it is held. Such a route would be an Important factor In regulating freight rates.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos.
