UNDER PAYNE TARIFF.
All Records Broken During First
Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Uncle
Sans import trade, under the Payne
Aldrich tariff law during the past year,
was a record-breaker. according to the
governments statistical experts. IN
der this law during the twelve months

1852, GOO, 900 came into the United
States. OF this vast total 1874, SOC. 900
was listed as dutiable, while $76S, 000, 900
entered free of duty. Although 1t was
the first year of the Payne-Aldrich
LAY 1t eclipsed all former records I'M
der the Dingley, Wilson and Mckinley
laws.
Until the Payne-Aldrich law became
effective August 1, 1909, the banner
year of the previous eighteen years had
been 1907, when. under the Dingley act,
an aggregate of SLABS, 500, 900 Of imports
was recorded.
Customs receipts during the past year
amounted to 1927, 900, 900, which was
more than SIT, 600, 900 in excess of the
previous year under the Dingley act.
The customs receipts during each of
the eighteen years preceding 1910
showed q much less encouraging rec
ord, except in 1904 and 1907, when the
customs receipts exceeded last years
total. During the past year March
showed larger customs receipts than
any other month during that period,
with a total Of $33, zoe, 900.

H CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-After a hesitat-
ing irregularity. wheat today started
downward. Holidays ahead and a dis
position to await developments regard
ing export demands caused buyers to
hold aloof. Estimates of heavy world
and of increased yield in
canada were arguments for lower
nrices. The market opened " down to
HMH I'D, with December unchanged to
Y off at 1.03ts to 1.03%. A decline to
1.031b ensued.
Corn was very slow and prices sagged
of their own weight. December opened
a shade to u down, at ETY., reacted to
E7S6 and fell off again to 57h.
Resting commission orders sustained
cats hut there was not much actual
hu.iness. The initial sales were a
shade higher for December, at S6ss, but
q reaction to 364k followed.
Led by lard, provisions were higher
all around. Shorts were best buyers.
The opening was at an advance of 2h
to ~ cents, with the January option

A number Of practical farmers in the
southwest have demonstrated the sue
cess of pumping from comparatively
shallow depths for general crops, and
1t is yet to be determined what the
depth limit is for ordinary crops in the
different sections where underflows can
be developed. Water Is being lifted
over 100 feet for 40 cents an acre each
irrigation, and even cheaper than that,
but the state of Texas can do much
good by putting experimental plants
on deeper wells, and while the extreme
depth of practical farm pumping is be-
ing finally determined, under differ
ent fuel conditions, can also determine
the adaptability OF the many pumps
now being offered on the market.
