LUMBER QUESTION SETTLED.
Reduction In Duty On the Canadian
Product.

Quebec, Sept 25.@The international
joint high commissioners are getting
very close together in the matter of
adjusting the questions of trade rela-
lions between the two countries, and in
doing this the great industrial inter
estS of the United States are not to
suffer. The assurances of a member
of the American commission are given
that the industrial system of the United
States Will not be disturbed, and that
there is not the slightest reason for
apprehension on the part of the Amer
leans that any of the great industries
are to be sacrificed.
1t is practically settled now that the
lumber question will be settled in a.
manner satisfactory to both Americans
and Canadians. 1t is probable that
the embargo on the export of Ontario
logs will be removed, and for this con-
cession on the part of the Canadian
government certain grades of pine
lumber will be admitted at reduced
duty. or free. into the United States
markets. The grade to be admitted
free or at a reduced rate will probably
be the higher grade of pine lumber,
of which there is not a surplus IN the
United States market.
Arthur S. Hardin, who has been here
representing the lumber interests for
Canada, and who is also the represent
ative of the Liberal government, left
Quebec today with the practical UNDER
standing that the lumber question was
settled. Other questions, it is under
stood. will probably be settled on the
same generally equitable basis.
1t is likely that the conference will
adjourn again during the present
month, to meet for a final session in
Washington the latter part of Novem-
Der. So far as the agricultural prod
uets are concerned, it is not likely that
any material change will be made in
present duties. Hay is the only prod
uct that Canadians are particularly de-
sirous to get into the United States,
and it will probably not make a very
strong effort for that

AMERICAN GOODS IN EUROPE
LARGE QUANTITIES OF SILK
SOLD IN FRANCE.
Further Proof That American Manu-
facturers Need No Protective
Tarih-Crowd Austrian Products.

Washington, Sept. 2J.-The United States
consul at Vienna. in a report to the state
department on the trade of Austria Hun
gary for 1887, ascribes the general de-
crease in exports TO this country to the
fact that the same goods are now manu-
featured in the United States and can be
sold there at the same or lower prices
than the Austrian goods. The report IS
that American silk is being sold in Lyons
the real silk center in Europe, and that
French manufacturers are buying II IN
large quantities. and particularly that
used Tor lining purposes to take the place
and Germany There is a falling off in
the demand for pearl goods and for glass
ware. due to the popularity and super
iority OF the American product. 1t is
frankly admitted. the consul says, that
the American cut glass is finer and more
elegantly cut than any manufactured in
Europe.
The American bicycle, according to the
consul, is finding favor with the wheel
men, Notwithstanding its higher price over
those of domestic make. He thinks that Ii
the United States manufacturers desire to
get their wheels into the foreign market
they should be satisfied with a little less
profit and try to make easier terms for
their agents. The wheels sent from
America are generally without mud
guards, brakes and other necessities. and
and trouble of supplying them.
There is a growing demand for Ameri-
can canned goods. but high prices prevail.
because the goods go through the hands
of middlemen.
The consul at Antwerp. Belgium, reports
that the exports from that country to the
United States in 1896 were valued at
So. 4SI,l0C an increase of per cent over
the preceding year. and the imports direct
from the United States in 1896 were valued
at So, 800, an increase of 81 per cent
over 1895.
An important increase in the consump-
ton of beer is noted amounting to about
81 gallons per capita. Figures are also
presented, showing a large increase in i'm
portation in a number of articles from
the United States for the first eight
months of the fiscal year 1897 over the
corresponding period of 1885, notably in
starch and non-edible products, timber,
rye. barley. oats. corn and buckwheat.
From Client consular district a report
on the commerce for 1886 says the cotton
mills are employing more and more Amer
lean cotton. The demand for the raw
material is annually increasing by reason
of the larger number of spindles set in
motion. The importation of American
hardware on the market shows consider
able increase. The Introduction of Ameri-
can bicycles was also marked during 1885, |
and with present quotations. United States
will strongly compete with
their foreign rivals.
