that the price movement has not been
upward in all branches of the industry.
The underselling movement in the
cotton market has been the most out
standing symptom Of the weakened tone
in the raw cotton market in New Bed
ford and has provided the greatest in
terest for the trade in general. Those
participating in the underselling are
offering cotton st SO to SIS bale
under the ruling market quotations.
Some groups regard the inclination 10
offer cotton on this basis as the fore
runner of q more general movement
which viii effect a lower price level
Opposed to this view were those who
scout the likelihood Of decreased prices
Of substantial nature and who hold
the underselling comes only from the
inabilt ty of weak holders Of cotton to
hold their cotton longer. Those taking
this view attribute the general in
activity of the cotton market to natural
causes, such as are apt TO accompany
seasonal conditions brought on by the
beginning of new crop movement

Grading LGsc

AT the last session o. the Canadian
Parliament an amendment 10 the Cana
dian customs act, designed as protec-
tion 10 Canadian manufacturing con-
paEles against exchange e-promoted .m-
Dortations from overseas, provided that
IN valuing importations for duty par-
poses no depreciation Of foreign cut
reney should be recognized in excess of
so per cent. At the time there were
predictions that the regulation would
be circumyented, and it now appears
that this is being attempted.
The par value OF the German mari
IS 23.8 cents. and, under the Cansdiar
act, the invoiced price and fair ma1
ket value of German goods, stated IN
MARKS, now must be converted into
Canad an currency at the rate of lie
cents to the mark. There is reason %
believe. however. that plans have beet
developed for the shipment OF German
goods into Holland, subject only to an
import duty Of per cent, and then re
shipped to Canada as products Of the
Netherlands and with invoices made
out in terms of Holland currency. The
only additional cost is the small Gus
toms duty imposed by Holland and The
fee of the broker in Holland, whose
services are required. The form os
Holland 5 valued in Canada 81 slightly
over 80 cents. as compared with ps
value Of about 10 cents, so that the 81
per cent limitation on exchange de-
preciation does no. apply
Under this plan. which probably a.
ready Is in operation. goods could b.
shipped to Canada at prices bases o.
the low cost Of production in German
ard with practically the full advantage
Of the depreciation Of the Cermar
mark. 1t is reported that Offices sre

purpose OF handling German goods in
tended for Canada and nvoicing theu
to Canada as goods of Holland origin.
