EXPORTED PRODUCTS
Steadily Rising in Value While Other
Exports in Many Cases Decline.

Washington, March 21.-Exported
farm products of the United States are
steadily rising in value, while in many
cases the exports OF manufactures
show a decline in the same compare
tive period. Foreign countries are Will

stance for form produce during Feb
ruary this year than they We're in
February d year ago. The export price
table issued by the bureau of statistics
of the department of commerce and Ia
Dor shows a long line of increases
ranging from 30 per cent. upward. The
prices given there are exclusive of
freights and represent merely the
prces at the time of expectation.
Taken in comparison with those fig
ures which are quoted in explanation
of the higher cost of living, this newest
table makes it apparent that exported
food stuffs have advanced abroad as

exported alone show slight decreases
in prices for February, as compared
with the same period year ago.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
Controlling Navigation of the Air For
mulated by Aero Club of France.

Paris. March 27.-RuleS and regula-
tons controlling the navigation of the
air designed to meet the new and COM
plex problems arising from the devel-
opment of aviation have been formu-
lated bv the Aero Club of France and
have been submitted to the French
government as the basis for a national
law. The code aims to meet the rights
and interests oil all of the acroplanist
and balloonist flying through space and
of man and mans property on the
earth below.
Following are some of the clubs sug-
gestions:
Aerial craft, whether aeroplane or
dirigibe balloon, must not circulate
lower than $50 feet above private prop
erty. Flights above cities require a
permit from the municipalities. Flights
in fog are not allowed and the trans
portation Of explosives except hunting
ammunition, is prohibited The fixing
of general aerial routes is recommend
ed as way of avoiding collisions and
aeroplanes and dirigibe balloons should
keep of certain distance from spheri-
cal balloons to the end that if eXplO-
sions or other accidents happen to the
dirigible machines the spherical may
not be endangered.
For the protection of the aeronaut it
is recommended that proprietors of
high buildings and other structures be
required to illuminate their property
at night at each level of 250 feet, while
all electric wires and conducts strung
above $50 from the ground should be
marked each 600 feet with a white flag
by day and a white light by night

MATERIAL CONCESSIONS
Thought to Have Been Granted By
Canada in Tariff Agreement.

Washington, March 27.-General sat
isfaction is expressed here at the an
nouncement made Saturday that an
agreement practically has been reach
ed between the officials representing
the Canadian government and the
President and Secretary Knox, respect
ing the adjustment of the tariffs of
Canada and the United States. No one
in authority is willing to discuss the
details, but there is good ground for
the belief that material concessions
have been granted by Canada, and that
the United States will receive in re-
turn for its minimum the intermediate
rates given by Canada to France and
II other countries on a cOnSidera BILE
number of articles in which exporters
from the United States are especially
interested
This understanding is said to have been
reached after prolonged conference Sat
urday, participated in by President Taft,
w. 5. Fielding. the Canadian minister of
railways; Secretary of State Knox and
Charles NJ. Pepper of the bureau of trad \
relations of the state department
Under the existing treaty between Can
ada and France the latter country re-
celves the conventional rate on about 80
articles. In many of these however, the
United States has little or no interest and
there is reason to believe that this gov
eminent has consented to receive the in
termediate rate on much less than half
that number
The tariff exports who have so success
fully concluded this large work take par
ticular pride in the fact that for the first
time the United States now enjoys the
minimum tariff rates of all important
nations.

CANADIAN SATISFACTION
Over Result of Tariff Negotiations Be-
tween Pres. Taft and Minister FIELDING,

Ottawa, Ont, March 27.-The news
OF fhe-tariff agreement at Washington
was received in government circles
here with satisfaction which is not
lessened by the fact that such an out
come had been confidently looked for
ever since the conference at Albany
between President Taft and Minister
Fielding
1t is understood that the dispatches
sent. from Washington credit Mr. Field :
ing with having made rather more ex-
tenslVe concessions than have been
given. When the official announcement
is made 1T will be found that the list
Of items on which Canada will make
tariff reductions will not include half
of the French treaty list.
1t was also understood that any
changes which have been made in the
canadian tarlt rs 4 result of the nrgo-
tiations between President Taft and
Minister Fielding will not be confirmed
to the United States or even to the
countries which now have the most
Favored nation arrangement with Cam
ada. In fact, any changes in the Cana :
dia tariff as The result of the negotia-
tons will be made general by Canada
and will apply to goods from all coun-
tries.
The net result of the negotiations
therefore will be that the Canadian
tariff will be slightly reduced on a
small number of articles and that Can
ada will get the benefit of the United
states minimum tariff.
