INCREASED EXPORT
 TRADE WITH CANADA

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 24-Great opportunities are available for the es- tablishedment of an enormously ir- creased export trade with Canada in made in America goods, according to Dudley Bartlett. chief of the For eign Trade Bureau of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum. These opportu- mites are a direct result of the Euro pean Nar, through the action of the Canadian Minister of Customs in pro hibltng the importation into Canada of goods from Germany and Austri Hungary The imports from these two countries into Canada amounted in round numbers to $l6.0OO,OOO annually. It was also pointed out that the im- ports from France, Belgium and Rus. sia, which for the time being are as effectively cut off as if they were for bidden, amounted approximately to s2OOo0,O0O a year. So this pro hibited and interrupted trade of Can. ada totals S36.OO0,OOO
 "It is reasonable.' Chief Bartlett says, to assume that Canada will be in the market for substitutes for the goods which make up this total That they will have to be imported is a req. sonable assumption. 1t is hardly ike l ly that the Canadian manufacturers at this time are in a position to make up the deficit though they may seize | the moment to develop along the nee , essary manufacturing lines. This leaves two alternatives; importation from Great Britain or from the United States. It is hardly reasonable to eX poet that British manufacturers win ! be able to take advantage of the pres ent opportunity. On the other hand 1 it would not be surprising if import.
 from the mother country, which
 amounted 10 $139,646,356 last year should be temporarily curtailed"

MINERAL PRODUCTION
IN CALIFORNIA

WASHINGTON. Sept 2i-Califor- mia. first among the States west of tho Mississippi River and fifth among an the states in the value of it's min eral production, according to figures made public today by the United States Geological Survey, has for the last ten years rested its claim to prominence as a mineral producer on its output of petroleum, in which it now leads all the other states, as Pennsylvania does in the production of coal.
 In the quantity of petroleum pro duced in 1913 California was credited with Se.85 per cent of the total out put of petroleum in the United states, and 1926 per cent in me value Pennsylvania in 1913 contributed 46 per cent to the total quantity of coal produced and 5l per cent to the total value of the output
 Prior to 1905 when petroleum took first place among the mineral pro duets of the State. value considered gold was the chief mineral product Of the State. and although gold has fallen from first place in the mineral products of the State California con tinues 10 lead all of the other States in the output of the yellwo metal Moreover. California; was one of the few states in which gold production is an important factor that did not show decreased production in 1913.
 The production of petroleum in 1913 was a little more than 45 per cent, of the total mineral output of the State. The record for 1913 shows an increase in the quantity of crude oil produced of over 1O.5OO,OO0 barrels-from r. 26S,356 barrels in 1912 to 977SS,525 barrels in 1915 The value increased somewhat more in proportion, from S39.615,287 to S45,709, 400

RATE DECISION IS DUE.
Two Recent Events Likely to Have
Bearing on Freight Finding.

00dVtV0 wv V'O'S''S
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. May a5-Two things
have just happened which, II Is pointed
out. may have some bearing on what
is likely TO happen when the inter-
state commerce commission announces
whether 1t will grant the per cent In
crease in freight rates demanded by
the American railroads. The decision
is due any time nov,
The first was the refusal OF the COM
mission, the other day TO rehear the
case involving the allowances TO in
dustral railroads. Some time ago the
commission ordered that no further al
lowances OF this kind be made and de-
clared they were in effect rebates sucn
as are forbidden by law. In eastern
territory alone 1t was found that these
rebates amounted to about sl3.000.000 a
year, of which 100000 60 to the
United states Steel Corporation.
The other item was a report from
the same commission giving sum
mary of railroad returns for March. In
eastern territory the operating income
averaged S32l per mile, or IS better
than a year before: In southern ter
ritor, $249 a mile or 81 better: In west
ern territory s20l mile or 50 better.
Much of the improvem ent was due to
decrease in expenses. But the report
is taken to show that net revenue IL
not entirely on the decline as has been
claimed.
Persons connected with western roads
are patiently watching for the decision
on the eastern rate case as 1t will de-
termine what shall be done all over
the country. .
