Canals Does Not Want Reciprocity.

Niagara Falls. N. r., June 10
George Il. Foster. former minister of
finance of the dominion of Canada,
spoke last night for an hour and half
to the Civic club of this city on The Flu
ture Trade Relations Between the
United States and Canada" After pro-
claiming himself protectionist, Mr..
Foster strongly advised the Americans
to reduce their tariff, declaring that in
many respects 1T was unreasonable.
He stated that while Canadians for
twenty five years had pleaded earnest
ly with the United States for reciprocal
trade relations, that feeling had re-
that the prevailing opinion in
Canada is to develop her own re-
sources regardless of what this coun-
try would do. He gave three reasons
for this change of sentiment in the do
1ninion.
The first one was that the Cam
adams had waited SO long for the
United States TO enter into recipro-
cal treaty that the people there had
become tired and proposed now to pad
die their own canoe.
1--WE are not disposed to take the
initiative for reciprocity" said he. I'm
fact, / will go so far as to say that the
Canadians as a whole, are today, am
tagonistic to reciprocity, altho along
side that change of feeling there has
been q growing friandliness of the
Canadians for their brothers in the
United States. They feel, however,
that their attitude has not been UNDER
stood and they are now busy develop
ing their own possibilities.
In the course of reciprocity negotia-
tons there came rebuff after rebuff, re-
fusal after refusal. and, as it often APP
peared to Canadians, the attitude of
Americans was unreasonable.
after the negotiations of 1882, 1888,
and 1892 for reciprocity, out of which
nothing came, Canadians seemed
to reach the conclusion that it had
pursued the quest along that line far
enough. 1t was then that we tried to
be sufficient unto ourselves. You drove
us back upon ourselves, and 1t will be
difficult for you to wean us away from
that course. Today the American tariff
is double on our goods going to your
country the tariff Canada places on
imports on your goods coming to us.
To-day we give you free market for
$10,000,o00 worth of goods, whereas
you give us IA free market for but
$4,000. We think it is not fair. Your
policy does not help In the Interchange
of goods between the two countries"
Mr.. Foster cited the high tariff inn
posed on Canadian barley, and the
fact that the Canadian tariff admitted
United States corn free, declaring that
as to these two articles there might be
a reciprocity mutually profitable.

CROPS SHOW IMPROVEMENT.
Bradstreet's Finds Cause for Hope in
DEVELOPMENTS of Week.


New York, June Observation-Disclosures re-
viewing the state of trade, today says:
Favorable features this week are the
further improvement shown in leading
crops and the ending of the tie-up on
the great lakes. Wheat, oats and cot
ton have improved. but corn is still
backward owing to TIE cool weather.
General trade and industry have re-
NAMED quiet, and may be said to have
marked time The notable underly
ing feature of the entire situation is the
feeling that with an average crop of
wheat and large yields of the other
cereals and of cotton now in prospect.
a good fall and winter business is to be
looked for.
Prices OF leading products have felt
the influence of crop news, wheat, oats
and cotton declining, while corn has re-
manned very steady OH reports of back
ward conditions and small supplies Of

rent quietness and the decreases of

and of per cent in April net. indicated
last week, are confirmed by fuller de-
tails.
Transportation Business Better.
Transportation business generally is
better than in 1908. Bank clearings, a
more immediate reflection of current
business, show an enlargement over
last week, but grand totals will still
show recessions from year ago.
The leading industries generally dis

Chicago, June 1S.-Eight hundred
head today was the large supply for
Saturday. There was large number
of common Texans consigned direct to
the packing concerns, but most other
oonsignments that came on the open
market were common butcher and cam
ner lots, and sales were slow at weak
prices. Prices have widened this week
and while prime heavy beeves sold
20 higher than heretofore, other
kinds were 10ap15 lower. grassy lots
showing the largest decline. and good
dry feed lots least.
The market has been going downhill
rapidly since Monday and many of the
medium TO pretty good cattle have
slumped off 30Gl 40c since that time.
The decline has been very uneven and
some plain light steers are quoted so
cents lower than the best time Monday.
There have been good many Texas
cattle received this week and they have
the decline in the market for grass ma
!
worse as the season advances.
Cattle buyers are of the opinion that
they are paying too much for the gras-
sy finished steers and have lately shown
a disposition to take reef in prices.
All reliable reports are to the effect
that not many prime finished cattle are
in the country, but that there are plen-
ty OF the common and medium. There
is dangertof overcrowding the market
with this class of cattle. especially in
warm weather, which will soon be at
hand. Under the circumstances it would
look like good judgment to hold back
some of the light grassy steers and
make them better. Top prices now will
justify liberal feeding.
Hogs.
Prices are steady. there being good

Speculation regarding today's supply

ment but an opinion prevailed that

would otherwise be the case. There
has been quite movement of direct
hogs to packers this week. causing a
double count in receipts at western
markets so that the actual run will be
less than figures indicate.
Sheep.
Today's market was unchanged with
small supplies. There has been a better
demand this week and prices have adj

Statesmen find buyers very exacting
in their sorting of lambs ut this time.
Lambs that lack flesh, even If of good
size are promptly cast out as culls aud
such have to sell down at S4.25 q a.50.
while the top end makes ST.00Gp7.25.
This wide gap between the tops and
tail ends is in many cases unsatisfac-
tory to the owners, but it cannot be
avoided as there is no other outlet for
the tail-end spring lambs except for
slaughter, and the killers will pass
them up unless they can buy them at
their own prices, as they are an expen-
sive class in the meat. even at current
prices.

RECIPROCITY AND PARTIES.

tiov Cummins has prepared an ar
ticle on reciprocity for the New York
publishers of the New American Cyclic
BELLA He reviews the subject histor-
ic;lly, it is stated. and shows that in
thu. past the application of the policy
has not been confined to non-competi-
tive products. He declares that the
democratic policy of tariff for revenue
orly excludes the thought of reciproc-
it.t, so that on the question of reciproc-
itt in competitive products the democ-
racy traditionally stands where we find
the standpatters of the republican Or
gilnization today.
This can not he refuted. The stand
p:ttters oppose che form of reciprocity.
the free traders all forms. Reciprocity
implies the existence of import duties
on articles covered by the treaties.
The free trader regards suspension of
these duties fol-, the benefit of one eX-
porting nation as so much revenue
tlken out of our treasury and given to
the exporting nation as the purchase
rrice of it's market. His theory is that
yve are entitled to nothing more than
equal treatment in the foreign market
and that we can get this by abandoning
protection for policy of tariff for rev

pense of their Canadian competitors.
