Canadian Lumber Output

The value Of the lumber, lath and
single output reported by $500 mills
operating in Canada in 1916 was as
follows: Lumber, sos, ,349; lath,
SlT43,940; shingles, S5,962,9 total,
s66O72,222. In 1916 Canada cut $780,
100000 feet board measure Of lumber,
a decrease Of 90 per cent from 1915.
The cut decreased in all the Eastern
provinces and increased in all the
Western provinces, as compared with
1915, British Columbia making the
most pronounced gain.
Canadian sawmills reported cutting
twenty-five kinds OF wood in 1916.
Spruce, white pine and Douglas fir
have for some years maintained their
relative positions as the three leading
species. In 1916 balsam took the place
Of hemlock in the fourth place. The
soft woods contributed 90 and the hard
woods 5 per cent Of the total produc-
ton. These proportions have remained
about the same <or several years. Cen
orally speaking, The hard woods are
produced in the Eastern provinces, On
tario and Quebec being the main sources
of supply. The four leading hard woods
birch. maple, Eastwood and elm
have occupied their relative positions
for several years, but in the 1916 list
poplar replaces ash in the fifth place.

Soap Sales Increase
In Hong Kong Field

The increased sale of American soap
Of all gradcs in the Hong Kong field
has been a matter Of price and freight
space. The increase has been material,
and il is likely that a large portion Of
the new trade will remain with the
United States. British soaps are still
coming into the field in limited quaint
ties, but the trade is greatly restricted
by war conditions. The current high
prices for soap supplies have resulted
in developing the native soap-making
concerns and the prospective develop
ment of foreign-style soap factories on
large scale. In addition TO the COM
paratively large soap factory in Hong
Kong a new one is being established
under an American trained soap expert.
The concern is backed by ample CAPT
tai, and is importing its machinery from
the United States and expects later
to operate on a large scale.
The Standard Oil Company Of New
York is planning to establish modern
soap factories in Hong Kong, Manila
and Saigon, cities that come under the
control of the Hong Kong office of that
concern. Ii is expected they will be
in operation by the close of the current
year. There has also been a large in
crease in small native soap factories
The total output of all these small con-
Germs is considerable, and while the
product is poor, it has a marked inhu-
ence upon the soap trade of South
China generally. There viii continue
TO be a good demand for higher grades
of foreign soap, even at advanced prices,
however. Nearly all of the substantial
firms in Hong Kong interested in the
soap trade now have satisfactory Amer
lean connections, and the trade is de-
veloping rapidly.-United States Con-

In d u strial
Cotton

For a time yesterday the cotton mar
ket showed considerable strength
owing TO more numerous crop COM
plants, bullish spot advices and a dis
position in some quarters to take
prospects. Advances were followed b.
a severe break in the late trading, how
ever, and sentiment seemed to DC
nervous and unsettled following the
announcement that trading in sugar
futures had been temporarily sus-
pended. This news stimulated liquida-
tion and there was a break from 25.23
to 24.60 for December contracts, or Of
practically So per bale. That delivery
closed at 24.70, with the general list
closing steady az a net decline Of q to
81 points.
There were crop complaints from
districts further north in Texas than
previously, and scattering complaints
numerous. The detailed weather re-
ports showing no rain in drouthy sec
tions and more rain than considered
desirable in some sections east of the
river served to color these reports.
Another feature was the comparative
scarcity of October contracts and re-
ports that exporters were paying a
high basis for spots in the Southwest.
English and japanese interests were
reported 10 be buyers for both spots
and early new crop shipment in the
Southwess, and there were reports Of
domestic mill buying in the Eastern
holt

Tropical Products, as Well
as Oriental Finished Ware,
Explain Increase

WASHINGTON. Aug. l6. - The in
crease in the value of imports into the
United States during the fiscal year
1917 is attributed in large part to in
creased receipts of non-eOmpetitive raw
materials and foods in statement IS
sued to-day by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The total value OF imports during the
year ended June 80, 1917, is placed at
S2.G59 .355, 1856, as compared with S2,l9S,-
100000 IN 1916, Sl.674.0c0,OOO IN 1919
and 1884 100000 in 1914. the last nor
nal year before the war.
OF the total increase of S76o,OOO,OOO
in 1917, as compared with 1914, accord
ing 70 the announcement, S471OOO,OOO
represents crude materials for use IN
manufacturing. such as gums and other
crude chemicals, copper ore, raw cot
ton, jute, manila, sisal and other tibres,
hides and skins India rubber. raw silk
and wool. The imports of crude ma
terials were valued at S63S 100000 IN
1914, forming 33 per cent of the total
lluHOil - d-eAtlSA ~ - lNfNNNfNNNi VI -
per cent of the total in 1911.
Imports of foodstuffs, largely of trop-
ical production, such as cocoa, coffee,
bananas, cocoanuts and other fruits
and nuts, olive oil. allspice, tea and
sugar, amounted to S475,000,000 in 1914
and 20 $679 100000 in 1917, an increase
of S204, 100000. Partly manufactured
products for further use in manufactur-
ing, including nitrate of soda and other
chemicals, unrefned, copper ingots, CO.
coanut, palm and other oils, tin in
bars. lumber and wood pulp, were val
ued at S475,OOO,OOO in 1917, against
1919 100000 in 1914, an increase Of
Sl56,000 900.
On the other hand, the imports of
the group Of finished manufactures
ready for consumption, including cloths,
laces and other cotton manufactures,
chinaware, burlaps and linens. machin-
cry and other iron and steel manufact-
ures, kid gloves and other leather ar

- Active Securities -:-
Stocks

BY The Associated Pressl
For no apparent reasons other than
those involved in the new peace nego-
tiatiOns and the many domestic prob
lens arising from the war, to-day's
stock market developed heavy tenden-
cies, depreciation of quoted values
being aided by pressure from profess
sional traders.
Heaviness extended to rails, that d.
vision becoming unsettled on the weak
ness Of New Haven, which fell over 2
points 70 the new low record Of 32B,
with a 2 point decline in the convert
IDLE 6 per cent notes. Other rails re-
acted alphabetically, New York Cen
trail falling ~ at its extreme and Del
aware & Hudson 2as. Pacifics and coal
ers were disposed to improve, but fell
away later on the general decline.
All the activity occurred during the
backward movements of the first and
last hours, dealings meanwhile dwin-
ding steadily. Moderate buying of rep
resentative shares was observed at the
lower levels, but otherwise the list
lacked support.
Shippings and coppers were among the
few exceptions, the former again lead
ing as a group at slight gains, and met
ais holding for the most part on re-
ports of an early settlement Of labor
difficulties. Sugars lost 2 TO 81 points
in the final dealings on the suspension
of trading in futures on the Sugar Ex-
change.
Equipments and war shares yielded
easily, United States Steel making an
extreme decline of ia, Bethlehem Steel
5, and feathers, motors and few un-
classified stocks / to 8, with fractional
rallies at the heavy close.
Bonds were mainly lower, with light
er trading in the Liberty issue. Pan
ANA coupon IS fell points on call.

Metals

The demand for copper yesterday
showed substantial improvement. Pro-
ducers say that the big government
order may not be expected before the
end of the month. IL is estimated in
some quarters that the demands of this
country and the Allies will clean up
all the metal through the nrst quarter
Of 1918. Only limited transactions are
taking place in the lead market, and
price changes are insignificant. Spelter
prices were weaker.

principal metals and metal products,
