VENEZUELA INVITES OUR TRADE
REVISING TARIFF TO BENEFIT
AMERICAN IMPORTS.
Wheat, Flour, Kerosene Oil, Wines
and Beer to Come in for Reduc-
ton on Classification Basis.

Venezuela is about to bid to increase
the imports from the United States by
means of its new tariff, now before the
Venezuelan congress. and which may con-
tain ''favorite nation" clause, applying
to this country.
This information, received in Washing
ton today, and on the heels Of recent ad-
vices showing that three of the five cases
pending against that country for dam
ages sustained by American interests are
now being arbitrated Is held by officials
OF the State Department and foreign Dip
lomats in Washington as indicative that
difficulties between the two republics are
OF the past.
The Venezuelan tariff is under process
OF revision. It includes a Redistribution
OF all articles which may be imported. and
the abolition Of the 80 per cent surtax,
known as the war tax Although full
details Of the revision are lacking. it is
known that Theat. flour. kerosene oil.
wines and beer will come in for reduc-
tons, redounding to the ADVANTAGE of ex-
porters in the United States.
A provision of the bill under considera-
ton is that the President of Venezuela is
instructed to classify all imports, but once
he has classified them his power ceases
and the category cannot be changed ex-
cept by special act of the Venezuelan
congress.
The new law will divide the tarifr into
nine classes as heretofore. The actual
duties will depend entirely on classifica-
ton. which may increase or lower ma.
teriaIly the duty on many products in
which American exporters are primarily
interested.
Advices received by the Department Of
Commerce and Labor are that wheat and
nour Will continue to be classified, as in
the present tariff, under class 3, which
means reduction of about half q cent
pound. Coal oil, wines and beers will
also remain under their present classifi.
cations, also material reduction
One thing in which American business
nrms will be interested, because favor
able to their trade with Venezuelan
houses. is that the Venezuelan congress
seems favorable to the establishment Of
bonded warehouses in the principal Ven-
ezueian ports. This will enable Venezue-
Ian importers TO send large orders at
lines when purchases here are particu-
Early advantageous, at the same time OBJ
waiting the necessity of making immediate
payment of all duties on all their imports
TO the Venezuelan congress have been
submitted the plans of the system adopted
by the United States. whereby importers
can have large supplies at hand without
the loss of interest on the capital re-
CURED to pay duties on their imports
II is also significant that Venezuela
will send several representative citizens
10 this country some time during the
winter 10 see what steps can be taken to-
ward arranging better system of ship
ping between New York New Orleans
and Venezuelan ports.

Homestead Limit Increased.

As reported from Washington, one of the last bills passed by Congress before adjournment, was one doubling the amount of land that may be taken up as home stead in non-irrgable portions oi the western states. It is expected that the passage of this bill will mean the settlement of vast tracts of land, especially in Arizona, which are now attractive to the settler.
 The bill fixes the homestead limit upon the class of land de- scribed at 37o acres, and provides definite requirements for cultiva- ton.
 The lands subject to such entry must be designed by the govern ment as non-irrigable and non- timber.
