Free Trade Question in England

c. X. Fauver, epresident of Cas-
ton, Williams & Wigmore, Inc. re-.
Gently returned from three months
stay abroad, says that considerable
discussion is rife at the moment with
free trade to tariff basis. Her
manufacturers" says Mr. Fauver, de
sire that they be protected in some
way until their plants have been re
habiltated. In France, Belgium and
Italy commercial and industrial af-
fairs are in very mixed condition:
The great bonded Indebtedness of
these countries now make it imperative
that they not only become large ex-
porters but that they take every means
by embargo or otherwise to secure
the internal production Of most Of the
goods required. If embargoes occur
thev will be occasioned by dire neces-
sity and not because Of any interna-
tional trade jealousy Mr.: Fauver be-
leves, however. that il will be neces-
sarv for the stricken countries Of Eu..

Coffee Futures.-Thc feature of the
market yesterday was the appearance
of moderate outside or investment
demand which has heretofore been
lacking, and this, coupled with Wall
Street short covering and a fair trade
demand, caused Il further upward
advance of l to 3 points. Final prices
were 10 to 13 points net higher, or
slightly lower than the best point of
the day Most of the offerings came
from long liquidation. The advance
carried all months through 14c, and it
is believed that the market will be-
come more interesting when short
covering becomes more active

Tea

The tea trade yesterday was in
terested in cables from England,
which announced that The English gov
ernment had arranged to buy 100000
pounds of Congou tea from the North
China market. The Chinese in that
market are attempting to hold the re-
mainder of their stock and finance it
themselves until the Russian market
opens. The local market is still dull.
but the trade reports a Near East de
mand. such as from Constantlnope
and the Black Sea district. The chief
difficulty which is being experienced is
in getting import licenses when ex-
port trade has been arranged. The alb
sence of quotations from the primary
markets, Colombo and Calcutta, is
causing some concern. From the for
mer market no quotations have been
received for two weeks.
Quotations in cents per pound for
lots of so to 100 packages are given
in the following table. Small lots

Corn.-The corn market experienced
a sharp advance, prices at one time
showing gains Of AZ to 5a4c from the
final of Saturday on active general
buying. Mr.. Hoover's statement n re-
gard to the wheat situation and the
needs in Europe was given bullish
construction.
No one believes that there will be
much corn exported from the United
States on the present crop, but if
Europe draws heavily on stocks of
other grains, corn will be enhanced
in value as q feeding proposition.
The strength in hog products also
had stimulating influence on the
market, while receipts were again
small, with offerings from the country
moderate.
Labor conditions in Argentina we're
still unsettled, but a cargo of Argen
tine corn for March-April shipment
was said to have been sold here at
about 5 cents under the May position
in the Chicago market.
