Fruit growers in the United States and
Canada will be affected by a new Japanese
quarantine regulation prohibiting the i'm
portation Of apples, apricots, pears. peaches,
plums, ounces and walnuts because the

portatlon of grapes, oranges, lemons and
other citrus fruit is permitted. but cucumbers.

U. S. Competition
Squirting BIRTHS h
To Seek New Trade
American Locomotives Be-
ing Sold in Far East and
South America Cheaper.
Than English Prices

Stiff American competition is giving
British industry an added incentive to
regain some of tho markets wholly or
partly lost during the war. In Eng
land, according to the Guaranty Trust
Company Of New York, it is frankly
admitted that in some lines American
manufacturers are obtaining a larger
volume of orders than British manu-
facturers Of the same articles, owing
to closer attention to foreign require
ments and greater efficiency in selling
methods.
"American locomotives" says the
bank, "arc being sold in the ar East
and in South America at prices lower
than the British engines. The British
makers are advised by their foreign
representatives to- sacrifice some of
their characteristic careful finish in
order to produce an engine which can
compete with the American article.
Amerlcan manufacturers are able to
sell wire nails in England at about the
same price that the British manufac-
turer pays for his wire rods, and Brit
lsh flrms have endeavorcd to meet the
situation by reducing their prices clO
ton. American sheet bars were being
offered IN England at the end of August
at lower prices than British quotations.
IN blllcts there is n strong compcti-
ton, both from American and Bcluian
manufacturers.
IN agricultural machinery there is a
good demand for export to all parts
or the British Empire. In the auto
New-York tribune., 1920-10-11

mobile industry there has been de-
crease in the demand for home con-
sumption, and number of firms are
now appportionfng great deal of their
output to the export trade. 1t Is not
believed that the current reductions In
the prices Of American cars will be
reflected in the prices Of English cars,
of motor trucks, American manufac-
turers are making a determined effort
to capture the British trade by quoting
prices with which the British manufac-
turer cannot possibly compete. 1t is
contended that the popularity of Amer
lean automobiles and motor trucks in
British India is due chiefly to the rec
ognzed skill Of American salesmen
and American advertising.
"The British cutlery trade reports
large volume of export orders from
colonies ordering double the quantity.
German competition Is becoming in
creasingly keen in cutlery, and it is
said that the Germans are turning out
an article very much superior to the
cutlery Of pre-war days. Another item
in which German competition is making
itself felt is pianos. More German
pianos are being sold in England than
before the war. German toys are also
c2u5lng the BrltlSnS toy manufacturers
considerable worry. The Germans are
dumping heavily. In June, 1920. the
British imports of German toys were
f212000 more than in June, 1913.
German dumping is likewise evident
in Photographic chemicals. Meto is
being sold in England by German firms
considerably below the cost of pro-
duction. German dyes also are being
sold in England at prices with which
the British manufacturers are unable
to compete.
"a new bed of iron ore is being
opened up in Northamptonshire The
ore that is available is estimated at
100000 tons. It is believed that an
annual production of million tons
can be obtained. In an effort to meet
American competition it is proposed 20
build large works in South Wales with
blast furnaces CAPABLE of producing
steel direct from the ore thus saving
heavy sportation costs"

France Had to Pay High

Question-~Pleasc advise for my informal
tion why tho recent issue OF bonds by tho
French government should be redeemable
at 11o per cent. should think after
paving per cent they would redeem at
100. Is It to make the issue more attrac-
tive7 Also what is meant by Louisville &.

Ing at 103 yielding about e5s per centY
How do they figure per cent yield on a
bond selling above par which will yield
.55f-L. c. p.
Answer-Apparently the French Re-
public was forced to insert the clause
which called for depemption of the re-
cent loan at 110 per cent. Investors in
this country require a high return in
the investment of foreign securities
Apparently you are mistaken about
the price of the Louisville & Nashville
per cent, 1881. They were around 90
recently.

Leather

Trade in hides, leather shoes and
other articles made Of leather contin-
ued dull last week, with prices sagging
in most instances. Among the tanners
it is felt that the bottom Of leather
prices has been reached. Accordingly
there was more reluctance toward Civ
ing concessions than has been apparent
for some time. New orders for shoes
call for small quantities. Fancy foot
wear is more active than the staple
numbers. with which retailers are fairly

Silks

The silk trade vacillated from lower
prices for raw silks to higher prices
for thrown silks and some advances
for finished goods. Some producers re-
ported encouraging sales to the specu-
lative jobbers, asserting that while
they deprecated the return Of specu-
lat;on, the legitimate iobbers and re-
tailers were holding off buying and the
only remaining outlet lies among the
spectators. Other manufacturers who
ordinarily confine most of their bust
ness to the large jobbers, are selling
directly to the retailers at prices which
the jobbers have refused to pay. Moth
ing in the way of spring buying has
appeared in the market and most man
utacturers expect spring trade to de-
velop slowly, beginning next month.

In the primary cotton goods market
the demand for gray or unfinished
goods was so weak that prices sagged
to lower levels than have been current
for more than a year The standard
64/60 38A-inch print cloths were
traded in at IL cents yard toward the
close Of the week. Mid-April or peak
prices on this construction ranged as
high as 26 and 26 y cents a yard. The
sale of gray goods at the New Eng
land mills, particularly in the Fail

months, reaching only about 10000
pieces for the week In the finished

in progress, but merchandise is being
made up surrepttiously. The fact that
aw skins have a narrow market and
finished goods can be sold at price
isNleading some manufacturers to cut
up the raw material they have on hand
in order to turn it into cash. The
cloak and suit trade continues the most
active buyer of dressed skins to be
used for trimming purposes. Funsten
Brothers & Co. announced the offering
Of about 100000 worth Of raw and
dressed skins for sale by sealed bids.
This method of selling replaces the
usual fall auction, which has been

According to a recent ruling both the bride and groom must appear in person at the Clerks office to sign an application for a license. This rule was made ne- cessary by reason of a recent Court decission, which makes the Clerk liable for issuing a license to persons prohibited by law from marrying, yet at the same time he has no recourse upon parties that obtain 9 license through mis- representation.

PAINT UP. CLEAN UP.

With nature freshening up, the people should be stimulated to match her, to what extent they can. with a clean up, pant up campaign.
 Here is where the Thigh cost" while having to be considered as usual where supplies are to be purchased and labor paid for, cannot be pleaded as far as in some cases, because a lot of the work can be done by members of the family before or after their regular employment.
 The improved appearance from the simplest ''tidying up" needs no discussion in detail. It is just a matter of the mems turning in to rid up and brighten up things on the outside of the house as they expect the women to do on the inside. Let every member of the family do his or her part.
 Nothing repays effort more than tidying up.
