An overstocking to avoid higher rates
OF duty under the new tariff law, generai
business conditions and increased SNUG
Cling are ascribed in Maiden Lane as
the reasons for the decrease in the i'm
ports of gems.
Fear that they would have to pay q
higher duty caused the big New York
importers to rush In large quantities of

came effective last October. In July, |

IN this quarter must be attributed MAIN
~ TO the enforced economies which ali

Somewhat increased shipments must.
however, be reckoned as a proft-makine
factor. United States Steel began the

operating at nearly 20 per cent full ca

bama Power Company are tied up with
the interconnected systems, as probably
will be done In the near future. there will
be seven companies SO connected with
more than GOO, 000-horsepower of capacity
and an ultimate capacity of almost soo.-
00-horsepower.
BY the connection of the lines of these
several companies there is now a high

there are nineteen hydroeiectric COM

Political Statistical Jussler..

1t is too early for conclusive trade
figures whether they come from Demo-
cratic or Republican politicians. The
economic merits or dement's Of the re-
duced tariff schedules cannot be fore
told for some months and Republican
speeches on unfavorable trade balances
will be about as valuable as the replies
which will be made by Secretary of Com
merce Redfield.
A certain test will have to be awaited
with patience and il Is not likely to come
before the November elections, by which
time the Wilson tariff act will have been
in operation practically a year. In the
meantime the administrator jugglers OF
figures will be forced to defend them
selves against an onslaught of irrespon-
sible speeches from the party out of
power.
The present depression of business is
world wide. Incidentally it has been only
a few years since a House Democratic
leader, now in the Senate, continually
made speeches to show that prosperity
was world wide, and that the tariff law
then on the statute books was not re-
sponsible for prosperous conditions pre-
vailing in the United States. He is about
the sblest man in his party and it would
be interesting to hear from him today.
