Non-Essentials
Imported Freely

On the other hand, there are many
things that Canada simply must import
from the United States for cx-
ample, and raw materials, as we'll as
highly specialized manufactured ar
ticles which are not made in Canada.
But in addition to these necessities
Canadas imports have always been
swollen, despite the best efforts of Cana
dian manufacturers, with the aid of
tariffs, by great shipments of nom
essentials. Toronto and Montreal girls
nave as keen an eye for New York
styles as those of any American City.
ana what is true in girldom is true Of
other classes. In some sections Amcri-
can made goods of nearly all classes
are more popular than Canadian.
Here is where the War Trade Board
is expected to get in its work. For
weeks rumors have been rife as to what
articles will be included in the black
llst. The names of automobiles, tires
ana an accessories, ready made clothing,
fancy wear of all kinds, jewelry, silver
ware, patent medicines, musical instru
mcnts OF all kinds and boots and shoes
nave been freely banded about. Natu-
rally, the "trade" in all these DEPART
ments has been excited. Second hand
motor cars have been selling like hot
cakes. SO have monographs and fancy
boots and ladies' hnery
but the embargo is not such a simple
matter as appeared at first glance. The
treasury Department was Immediately
faced with the loss of revenue through
customs that the prohibition of imports
would entail. One report was that the
cmoargo would be accompanied by 10
per cent war tax on all purchases Of or.
ticlcs on the prescribed list. Th;s
would be consumers tax pure and
simple, justifiablc as luxury tax. but
absolutely ineffective in getting ut tho
war profits of manufacturers. Indeed
the prospects of the embargo brought
no wrinkles to the brows Of Canadian
manufacturers. Doubtless thew have
often IN dreams contemplated the
elyslum of a protective tariff that
would have absolutely no loopholcs, but
never hoped to realize it in the flesh
New-York tribune., 1918-04-22

Stimulated by improvement in the
general war situation and much op-
timistic news from domestic indus
trial concerns, the security market
developed vigorous strength last
week on a rising volume of activity.
Cheering advices to the effect that
the British, reinforced by the French,
had succeeded in definitely checking
the German advance in the north
were followed by a general advance
in stocks, which carried many of the
representative issues into new high
ground. The common shares of the
United States Steel Corporation
sold to level almost ten points
above the price touched shortly after
the German high command unleashed
its forces in the initial drive on the
Cambria front in the closing days of
March. 1t was by reason of the bet
ter war outlook that the market was
able to respond to the favorable re-
ports coming from American corpo-
rations engaged in the manufacture
of essentials. Moreover, the market
was in an excellent technical position
to profit from the more favorable
war news, speculative holdings of
securities having been reduced to a
minimum during the last few weeks.
in regard to the industrial situation,
one Of the most constructive factors
/ in it's influence on quoted values was
! the statement of the head of the
Steel Corporation, indicating conf
derce that the prices fixed by the
government would permit of fair
profits and the payment of larger
dividends. In other directions it
was evident from reports of current
operations that industry has pretty
we'll adjusted itself to the new con-
ditions arising out of our entrance
into the war. These were important
factors in stimulating activity and
strength in the shares of companies !
engaged in the production Of steel,
copper, rubber, oil and other impor-
tant essentials.

Especial Coyrespcndence1

TORONTO, April 2O-As war
measure Canada wants to cut eff $780,,
100000 of manufactured imports from
the United States. The job has been
put up to the newly organized War
Trade Board. Reports of pending ac
tion created greater sensation in busi-
ness circles than anything that has oc-
Cured since the awarding of the first
big contracts for war munitions.
The reason given for cutting off this
business is that the balance of trade
with the United States is running SO
strongly against Canada. This country
is doing smashing war business. For
the first time in history her exports
are greatly exceeding her imports. But
her exports are nearly all going to
Britain, and her imports are coming
from the United States. And as Britain
is not paying Canada cash, Canada can
not pay the United States cash and
the situation is getting uncomfortable
Now York exchange is at premium OF
nearly per cent Canada is perfectly
willing to do credit business with
Britain, although it is not all credit be-
cause Britain is maintaining Canada's
Army abroad. This however, only par
tally meets the account. For the rest
Canada is willing not merely to trust
the Motherland, but is actually finding
the money to pay the Canadian manu-
facturcrs of British munitions anc
foodstuffs. Everything would be lovely
balance with the United States that is
piling up. Here is what has happened
in the last four years:

1t is understood that the situation is
becoming even more aggravated as the
months go by. This year experts de-
clare that the adverse balance may run
to $40O,O00,00O. 1t is not to be wondered
at, therefore, that Canada jumps at
every opportunity to increase her cx-
ports over the line. That is why Amer
lean munition contracts have been so
gratefully received. The huge news
print exports are godsend, and pre-
cludc any possibility OF the Canadian
newspaper publishers in their battle
with the manufacturers over prices get

the way of an embargo prohibiting ex-

Canada Plans Drastic Step
To Redress Export Balance
Cut of $780, 900 in Imports of Manufactures From
United States Proposed Means of Rectfying
Present Unfavorable Condition in Exchange

And here a war embargo promises to
hand them on silver platter all the
business that formerly went to the
great competitor. the highly organized
specialized and 9th American
factory.
Apparently the government thinks
very highly of this embargo business.
1t has now bill before Parliament
asking for authority for the Cabinet to
prohibit the export or the import of
any article not merely for the duration
of the war "a power it already has
under the war measures act), but for
three years after. To remove from
Parliament for three years after the
war all authority over foreign trade is
a pretty large order and the govern
ment may be forced to modify its de-
mands.

Aside from the continued heavy
dealings in the various outstanding
Liberty Loan issues, trading has
been almost at standstill in the
general bond market during the last
week, with prices displaying irregu-
lar:ty. A large part of the financial
community ordinarily devoted to the
sale and distribution of investment
securities is now engaged in helping
to float the third Liberty Loan issue,
with the result that corporation
bonds are receiving little or no at
tention. In the short-term note mar
ket, however, there has been q fair
degree of activity, with a tendency
in the majority Of cases toward high
err price levels. The volume of bust
ness in Liberty Loan bonds contin-
ued on large scale throughout the
week, with the first and second 4s
closing a fraction of point above a
week ago. In investment circles the
opinion was expressed that the liqui-
dation that forced the recent decline
in these bonds, following their sharp
rise after the terms Of the present
loan had been announced, had about
run it's course. Foreign governmnt is
sues held firm as rule in the local
market during the week, being helped
by the better news from France.
Although larger withdrawals of
United States government deposits
brought a slight hardening of money
rates toward the close of the week,
the general money market position
reflected an easier tone. Call money
loaned as low as 3 per cent at the
Stock Exchange, but closed around
51z after the Treasury had notified
the banks of impending withdra walls.
The supply Of fixed date funds con-
tnued to be restricted owing to the
uawlllingness of the banks to in
crease their commitments in this
direction, although some loans for
periods Of thirty to fifty davs
were placed on a 5a to 5M
per cent basis, compared with
9 per cent for the longer ma
turtles. The strain imposed on
banking resources by the current de-
niands Of the government and the
Liberty Loan. campaign has caused
the banks to make greater use of the
rcdiscount privilege with the Fed
eral Reserve Bank. Last week the
local Federal institution increased
its purchases of commercial paper bv
more than $60,000,000, bringing the
totals OF, bills discounted and bought
above half a billion dollars for the
