Cotton and Linen

Much Litigation Likely to Arise Over
Interpretation Of Present
Tariff Law.

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-The cotton
and linen cloth provisions of the tariff
act of 1913 are the cause of much per
pleXity to importers DESTROYS of OBJ
taining the lower rates of duty carried
in the new law. In many instances
the phraseoIogy employed in the pres
ent act differs materially from that
used in the Payne-Aldrich tariff, with
the result that importers are more or
less at sea regarding the rates at
which fabrics may be enttred.
During the last few DAYS MANY i'm
porters have visited the appraisers
warehouse with samples seeking in
formation concerning the probable
classification to be returned on the
goods by customs officials.
Customs examiners themselves are
not free from doubt as to the inter-
probation to be given some of the cot
ton cloth and linen cloth paragraphs.
The indications are that many doubt
full classifications will have to be
thrashed out before the Board of
General Appraisers and the Customs

NEW YORK Oct. 25.-The an
preaching advent of New York Citv
into the pig iron industry will mean
the investment of millions of dollars
and a large additional supply of labor
Three different and distinct projects
are now on foot looking to the estab-
lishment of blast furnaces on New
York harbor. This announcement was
made at the Merchants Association OF
New York. The Industrial Bureau OF
the association believes New YORK
harbor is better adapted to the man
ufacture of pig iron than any other
section in the United States, except
Birmingham, Ala. fer that location
which can furnish the lowest trans
portation cost on raw materials and
on, finished products is the most ia
vorable for pig iron production.
The opening of the State Barge Ca
nal will give New York the strategic
advantage OF low transportation costs
for receiving the raw materials.
New York producers will hot be de-
pendent upon Lake Superior ore, for
with the enlargement of the Lake
Champlain Canal it, will have direct
access to the rich deposits of the
Champlain district, which can be
placed in New York at less than 81
cents per ton.

Unwary Are Warned
To Buy Land Slowly
Thousands, Says Dealer, Take Lots
Too Far In Country-Advice Is
to Seek Good Agencies.

NEW YORK, Oct, 25.--At a recent
meeting of a number of prominent
New York suburban real estate OPP
orators several pathetic instances Of
unwise investment by persons of
small means on the eastern end of
Long Island were quoted Suggestions
were made for protecting legitimate
operators, who have had this unfor-
tunate condition to contend with and
who have had to suffer in the public
mind regardless of the reputable
manner of conducting business by
their companies.
Speaking on this subject, j. c. Me
knight, of the Mcknight Realty
Company. was of the opinion that the
general public should seek out for
themselves the real estate firms Of
known reputation.
There are thousands upon thou
sands OF people scattered throughout
this country, Mr. Mcknight believes,
who have been persuaded by unscru-
pulous real estate statesmen to pur.
chase lots for investment that are
situated miles from a railroad station
and that have no general use eithn
az a site upon which to build a home
or even for farming purposes.

Hindu Farmers Unable to Resist

Special Gable to The American.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-Communica-
tions are now passing between the In
dia Office and the Indian Government
on the question of Lord Crewe's sug-
gestion that legislation should be
passed to prohibit the watering of
cotton in India.
Although Indian cotton contains as
a rule less water than American,
Egyptian or Chinese. yet it is well
known that in the cotton districts in
India pumps and hose appliances are
used. without any attempt at secrecy,
to saturate the cotton with water,
which is not always Of the cleanest,
the idea being to cheat the buyer by
selling him water for cotton at so
much a pound. Another form of adul-
teration is mixing The ryot seems
unable to resist the temptation to mix
his damaged or discolored bolls with
his sound ones, but even if he does
the result Is vitiated by the action of
the middleman, who promptly mixes

NJ ADOO To RID
COMP TROLLER
Of ALL POWER
Under New Currency Law Impor-
tant Treasury Official Will Be
Only a Figurehead.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-Before
the currency bill is enacted into law
it will be amended practically to abol
ish the important post Of Comptrol
Ter of the Currency.
The work now done by that official
will be distributed among a number
of new Offices throughout the coun
try, one in each Federal reserve dis
trict, which shall be directly under
the Secretary of the Treasury.
The position and title of Comp
troller will be retained, but he will be
little more than chef clerk to the
Secretary.
This is the present plan of the adj
ministration. and the indications are
that ii Will be carried through.
Several Reasons Given.
There are several reasons for the
change One is that Secretary Nc
Adoo believes the work can be better
accomplished by having man in
charge of each district, instead of
one for the whole country.
Another, about which little is said.
but which is the most important, is
the observation of men in close touch
with Treasury affairs. that some
Comptrollers in the past have had
their eyes too firmly fixed on the bank
to which they expected TO go after
leaving the Governments employ. The
new arrangement will relieve the
Comptroller of the power to extend
favoritism to the bank which has Of
fered him a place.
President in Doubt.
President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo have been in doubt for
months what to do with the position
of Comptroller, and this eXplai ms the
continued vacancy of the office.
There is of course, a possibility
that the plan will not carry, and the
Comptroller remain as important an
official as heretofore. In this case the
appointment viii lie between George
w. Norris. of Philadelphia, and As
sistant Secretary OF the Trea sury
John SHELTON Williams. Norris is
President Wilson's choice and Secre-
tary McAdoo would like to turn the
office over to Williams.
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, has been
trying to get the position of Comp
troller for his State, and r, y. HIS-
ley. OF Wheaton and Chicago, has
been prominently mentioned for it.

Sharp Decrease From 1912 Business

235,000 in 1912.

says The Iron Trade Review, that the
extreme dizziness in equipment pur-
chases will be broken. The tight
money market generally is accepted
as the cause for inactivity. and it is a
matter of conjecture wnen this factor
will be removed. II the railroads in
Eastern territory should be successful
in obtaining a per cent advance in

other stimulant to contracts can arise

BANKS
FEAR INVASION
Of AMERICANS
Prepare Retaliation if New York
Institutions Open Foreign
Branches.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The tenor
OF news from London banking cir
cles goes to show that the possibility
Of an invasion by our national banks
into foreign preserves under the pro-
posed currency bill is receiving more
serious consideration abroad than in
this country.
New York bankers have said that
the establishment of branches for ma
tional banks in other countries is not
probable on a large scale, as the busl-
ness could not show sufficient profits,
but their contemporaries at the Eng
fish center evidently believe that
something of an experiment will be
made at least after the currency bill
goes into effect.
The London bankers have made no
preparation to meet competition, as
far as is known, but there is talk of
extending their operations on this side
If national bank agencies are opened
In England, a step in the direction of
retaliation if business is taken away
from them in their own field.
British banks already have agen-
cies in this city and New Orleans,
which were established for the pur-
pose of financing staple imports into
England. Foreign financial writer's
argue that 1t would not be difficult
for British bankers to enlarge their
enterprises in America if cause is
given them to do so.
Though no outward signs of I'M
easiness have yet appeared among
the London banks, we may be sure
that they are not shutting their eyes
to danger" says one English financial
paper. Banking authorities who are
especially interested in American
business are studying the question
very earnestly, and in due time they
may be heard from regarding it
In speaking Of the branches of
English banks already in operation
In the United States the writer says:
This was quite legitimate enterprise
and we are glad to know that it has
been rewarded with y considerable
amount of success. To be just to the
American banks, they have taken no
serious objections to it, but it might
he different if the enterprise We're to
be carried further and other London
clearing banks were to launch into it.
An all-round scramble for foreign
exchange business on both sides of
the Atlantic would be a much more
interesting than profitable episode"
