New York, May 1.-THE course of
the market this morning was any
thing but satisfactory. Price open
ed 1 to points down on small deal
inRs, and the demand thereafter
and mp to noon was quite moderate.
One leading firm which has been
conspicuous in attempting To bull the
market for several days was again
prominent In the same direction.
The response, however, was feeble.
The progress of the crop so far is
regarded as fully up to the average
at this date, and this deters free
buying; at the same time, the fact is
recognized that it is still too early to
count on a full crop, and this fact
checks liberal selling. By noon the
entire early decline had been wiped
out, and near months we're up 8
points above yesterday. Shorts COW
cred on rumors of q pending corner
in August. The marKet developed
no improved features in the later
dealings. Exports today 4S7S bales.

AN OFFER FROM THE DOMINION
Suggestions Concerning Reciproci-
ties for IDshore Fishing

Suggestions Concerning Reciproci-
ties for IDshore Fishing
Halifax, n. s., Aug. 22.-The Federated
Boards of Trade OF the eastern provinces
OF Canada, through a committee, have
authorized Sir Louis Davies, Canadian
minister of marine and fisheries. to make
an important offer to the United States
commissioners who are to meet repre-
sentatives of Canda in conference at Que
bee Tuesday.
They have instructed Sir Louis to state
that Canada IS ready TO give American
fishermen the free use of inshore fisheries
of this country on the same terms as
those enjoyed by Canadian fishermen if.
on the other hand. Dominion merchants
are guaranteed access to the markets Of
Cuba and Porto Rico on an equal footing
as regards customs tariffs with American
merchants This takes for granted that
the United States will make tariffs for
those islands.
The fisheries question has been fruit
ful cause OF friction between Canada and
the United States, and the protection
service. the objecr of which has chiefly
been the exclusion of the American fish
eminent. has annually cost the govern
ment a large sum. Under provisions of
the treaty of 1918 fishermen of the United
States are prohibited from fishing within
three miles of the shore, and their YES
sels can enter Canadian ports for no 9TH
er purpose than TO obtain supplies OF FOOD
and water or for shelter.
Sir Louis Davies has just concluded a
visit to the provinces with a view chiefly
of sounding opinion on the fisheries ques-
,;on. Part of the fishermen will undoubt-
edly oppose the proposal as soon as they
learn ii has been made at Quebec.
