Reciprocity Favored by the ran-American
Conference.

Reciprocity Favored by the i'an-.American
Conference.
The international American conference
has adopted the report Of the committee
on customs unions, which recommends
that reciprocity treaties be negotiated be-
tween the several republics of the Ameri.
can hemisphere, each making tariff con-
cessions, so that the peculiar products of
them all may be introduced free
into tho others. This report is in the
salne line of the amendment sug-
gested by Mr.. Blaine to the committee
on ways and means Of the house. The
conference also adopted the report Of ths
committee on port dues. The committee
recommended that all port dues he merged
in n single one, 20 be known as tonnage
dues; that this be assessed upon the gross
tonnage; that each government fix the rate
OF tonnage dues with due regard to the
policy of the conference, which is to facili-
tate and favor navigation; that dues under
unexpired contracts with private compan
les be excepted from the provisions of ar.
ticle 1; and that vessels OF less than
twenty-five tons transports and vessels Of
war to be exempt from tonnage dues.
The report Of the committee on banking
was discussed at length. The committee
believes that commerce could be extended
greatly by facilitating direct exchanges be-
tween the money markets of the countries
represented in the conference. The mer-
chants of the United States now inn
porting goods from South and Central
America make these importations almost
without exception through the use of En-
glish banking credits. The committee
does not think the governments
themselves should afford financial
facilities. The best means Of remedy
ing the existing difficulty, the com.
mittee thinks, is by the passage by the
United States Of a law incorporated an in-
ternational American bank with ample
capital and privilege on the part Of the
citizens of the several countries in the
conference to take shares in the bunk pro
rata TO their foreign ommerce. This
bank should have all the powers now en-
joyed by national banks Of the United
States except power to emit circulating
notes. The conference did not concluds
consideration Of this subject before nd.
journment.

A Favorable Spring Follows y 0sOd
Winter.
The weather has been very favorable
during the opening weeks of spriug. for
plenty of water in the streams for driving,
says the Minneapolis Lumbsrnun. the
thaw being gradual enough to prevent
floods, and the supply of snow in the up
river country having been retained by the
cool temperature prevailing in sufficient
quantities to provide an abundance OF
water at the proper time. The Surveyor
generals office reports that about half Of
the scalers are down flom the woods, aud
the figures submitted for record by thoss
already here indicate that the winters cut
will quite materially exceed the amount Of
the general estimate. In fact il is be-
lieved that the log supply will be larger
than the most sanguiLe have anticipated.
and some of these have generally been
considered extravagant. All the loegers
have returned now, aud the logging season
may be said to have terminated with this
week.
Driving is expected to commence in
about ten days on the streams. The ice is
all out Of the river at Minneapolis. but
still remains firm in the tributaries. The
lakes will probably not break up before
May 10. The boom company is preparing
for business aud will at once have u crew
of men at work driving piles and hanging
booms. They will have everything In
readiness to take care OF the drives as soon
as the ice goes out and expect TO start the
rear boom at Brainerd in about two weeks.
1t will probably be May 1 before the
mills start up. The greater part of the
week will be consumed in strlnging booms
and getting things in readiness for turning
logs, and very few of the mills will he in
shape to fire up before that time. But
crews are being hired, contracts made and
everything got in readiness. There are
enough logs in the boom limits to keep the
mills busy for q month or more. aud the
old logs out of the Rum river are within
easy distance and will come on the first
rise. The work of repairing and enlareiug
the capacity Of the mills is being rapidly
pushed. Some Of the changes are quite
extensive.
