RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN
CLAIM THAT IT WOULD VIOLATE
TaE FAVORED NATION CLAUSE.

London Dispatches Suggest a Diff
Guilty In Negotiating for Trade With
Cuba-The State Departments Posi-
tion on the Question-Canadian Ex-
port Duties on Timber Removed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-Dispatches from
London assert that Spain cannot negotiate
reciprocity treaty with the United States
for the Cuban trade without violating the
favored nation" clause In her existing
treaties with other nations. 1t is said at
the state department that this point was
discussed and finally decided in 1884, when
Minister Foster negotiated a reciprocity
treaty on the same basis that is now
proposed, and is now revived, not
by Spain, but by the commercial
interests of Great Britain, for obvious pur-
poses. The United States also has a "fav-
ored nation" clause in the most of her COM
mercial treaties, but this will not embarrass
the government on the negotiation of re-
clproclty treaty or arrangements with other
nations, because the department has held
from the time of jefferson to Blaine that
the favored nation" clause applies only
where privileges are granted freely and
without consideration. This position has
been sustained by the supreme court.
FRANCE WILL DISCRIMINATE.
Ahl6 Ocb. l4--ln ne frencn government
has decided to submit to the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies simultaneously bin
providing for a maximum French tariff on
goods from countries whose customs regu-
lations are unfavorable to French products,
and minimum tariffs on imports from
countries whose tariffs are favorable to
France.
CANADIAN EXPORT DUTIES REMOVED.
TORONTO, ONT, Oct 14.-The Empire,
the government organ, commenting on the
removal Of the export duty on Canadian
spruce and pine logs. announced in an extra
edition Of the Canadian official gazette to-
day, says:
THE action Of the dominion government
In removing these export duties
will doubtless be taken as an earnest
of their desire for enlarged freedom
of trade in lumber between Canada and the
Uni ed States; and while congress has, as
we think rather ungracously excluded
spruce lumber from a lower rate of duty,
the prompt action of the federal authorities
may yet prove effectual in inducing the
United States to deal more literally with
the grades Of lumber upon which they have
placed or maintained higher duties" The
governments action gives great satisfaction
to the Canadian lumber men.

Views OF London Papers on the Un-
settled Financial Condition.
LONDON, Oct 14.-The STANDARD, COM
menting on the fiuctuation in consols, says
it has not been equaled since the Crimean
war, and adds: THE argument that the
market is unsound is plausible but
shallow. Consols are weak for the
same reason that colonial inscribed
stocks are weak, because they are now
among syndicated securities. Goschen has
dislodged them from investment hooks and
crannies, where they had been stored for
perhaps generations, and the masses of
stock thus thrown upon the world have
never found a home. Again, dear money
and higher rate of interest obtainable
elsewhere have compelled or tempted
temporary holders to SELL"
The Times, in its financial article, gives
similar reasons, and attributes the decline
in securities generally to exaggerated no
tions regarding the effect Of the American
silver act, and to over purchases because of
that act.
