DRY Goods Demands.

Each succeeding weeks advices
from dry goods channels reflects
some gain in both business and sem
timent. Trading in primary centers
is steadily developing more breadth,
with firmness more general. and
substantial export demand is noted
In certain departments. While
operations are still conservative.
liquidation of stocks had led to a
need for goods, and the effects of
prolonged curtailment of output are
being more clearly seen. Consump-
ton is along more economical lines
in many places, but buyers inter
est is reviving and merchandise /,
being taken with greater freedom
for spring. The most cheerful re-
ports Of foreign commerce come
from the cotton goods division, N
which sales to the Near East and
Far East have been relatively large
and countries which have purchased
little here for several months are
again coming Nto the markets
Some Fall River mills that had been
idle have resumed work on a four.
day schedule.

SAYS TARIFF BILL
MENACE TO CUBA

The 2-cent duty on raw sugar
imposed n the pending Fordney
bill, will ruin Cuba politically and
financially and might lead to an
other American Intervention, &C
cordine to the warning of II. S
Rubens, former counsel to the
cuban patriots who fought for
cheir country's Independence.
In a letter to the Senate Finance
Committee, Rubens contends that
the Fordney bill would penalizt
Cuba at a time when she is already
in a deeply depressed condition and
will prevent her paying her debts
to American creditors, reducing heI
capacity to purchase American
goods and thereby almost cutting
off her receipts from customs duties
Under such conditions. according
to Rubens. this government would
have to intervene in Cuba or annex
the island. This. he stated. woulc
injure the United States in the eyes
of the rest Of Latin-America.

Livestock Values.

Concerning livestock values. Mr..
Heinemann, secretary of the Amer
ican Institute OF Meat Packing.
told the Minneapolis convention Of
the Institute Of Banking that live
stock values are back to 1914
levels. Most commodities are not
back to 1914 levels. Livestock
values have been deflated to nor
NAL quotations. Most products
have not. Consequently. relative
to general commodity prices. live
stock is cheap: it is back to nor
NAL. Surely the banker should
feel safer in supporting COM
modify that is already down the
hill than one which is still falling.
But II Is not easy to obtain a loan
on livestock. Wholesale meat
prices also have been deflated.
There have been heavy declines
during the last year in pork. beef
and lamb. Hides and by-products
have gone down about 20 per cent
from their peak values.

Indian Wheat Crop.

The total wheat yield for the
whole Of India was forecast on May
