be no sudden change In price stand
ards. II they were convinced that
prices would be maintained at pres
ent standards for a long while, then
they would be ready to 80 into the
market and buy stocks Of goods.
NOW they seem to be thus persuaded
and for that reason are entering the
markets. In the Federal district In
which New York Is situated It Is ap,
parent that buyers are now placing
orders, confident that prices will be
maintained. and manufacturing is
aiso In progress in a satisfactory way.
Luxuries Tax.
IL may be that the imposition OF new
taxes upon luxuries explains the sorne-
what astonishing falling of in the
imports Of luxuries which will take
place in the present fiscal year. The
statisticians say that the falling of
IN precious stones is SO heavy that i'm
the eight months OF the present fiscal
year they were OF the aggregate value
OF seventeen million dollars, whereas
IN the corresponding months of the
preceding year they were thirty-two
millions. {
This is spoken of as regrettable fof
two reasons. First, It Is desirable to
secure as large a revenue for customs
as possible, Evidently. however, the
revenues from customs duties upon
luxur.es will be less than one-half OF
what that revenue was the preceding
year.
In the second place, those who are
In authority at Washington. and also
the finacial leaders Of New York, are
OF the opinion that, leaving the Gus
toms duties out Of consideration, new.
ertheless the more our imports are in
creased the more easy 1t will be par
TALLY to offset the inevitable inter-
national trade balance In our favor.
An Ideal condition would prevail II
our exports for this fiscal year, which
are to be Of the money value Of ten
billions, were substantially Offset by
our imports. II industries are speeded
up as business men expect they will
be. imports OF raw materials, espe-
cially from South America and the
Far East. are likely to be increased
1t is. however. impossible that i'm
ports be great enough substantially
to Offset exports. But if the imports
on luxuries are cut down to almost
one-half, instead of increasing. the
offset will be reduced.
Certain kinds Of laces, for instance
which were imported just before the
war and were of the money value OF
twenty-five millions, have fallen of
so heavily that for the present fiscal
year the money value of them will
be only five millions.
There is to be a heavy falling on
In imports OF spirits. wines and malt
liquors. In fact, that trade will be
dead loss when the prohibition
amendment goes into effect.
In 1914 we imported ten principal ar
ticies of luxury of the money value OF
one hundred and twenty million dol
lars. In the present fiscal year i'm
ports of this kind will not exceed in
money value sixty million dollars.
Yet the domestic trade in precious
stones. in iaces and embroideries has
not fallen of. The shopkeepers find
customers in plenty for these articles,
and the purchasers are not restrained
by the high prices which they COM
mand.

OPPOSE LEGION
Philadelphia Organization
Will Not Consider Pro-

Philadelphia. May 1.-THE United
American War Veterans are dissat-
isfled with the st. Louis convention
of the American Legion and official
ly refuse to consider a union with
the legion. according to announce
ment of Commander-in-Chie War
rem G. Fisher at their headquarters
here tonight.
The announcement stated that the
st. Louis meeting of the legion had
disregarded the suggestions of Lieut.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and other
of the legiOn's founders. and that
the aims and objects of the two So
cieties were so different that they
could not possibly work together.
Commander-in-C Chief Fisher insists
that the platform of his body, ad-
mitting American veterans of all
wars to membership regardless of
the nature OF their services. is far
superior to that of the American
Legion.
The national convention of the
United American War Veterans will
be held in Chicago in November.
Organization of posts in every State
will go forward rapidly. it is stated.
