SLOW AT BOSTON

Boston, Aug. 4-The sale of gov
eminent wool here today when five
million pounds of low grade South
American types were offered, was
draggy, only about 48 per cent of the
entire catalogue being sold. The
exception to the general rule was
the sale of secured woods, of which
about IS per cent was sold Com
petition for these woods was fairly
animated at times. On the whole
the sale was disappointing.
The Bigelow- Hartford Carpet
Company was the big operator in
greasy woods, taking over $4,000
pounds, while the Alexander Smith
Carpet Company was second buyer
of greasy woods. taking 100000
pounds. Greasy South American
tours of the better descriptions sold
at about IS cents clean and card
ing second clip ass at about II
cents. Thomas Kenworthy of
Philadelphia took the largest guam
tity of scoureds. 243,000 pounds, al
though Winslow and Company, the
second largest buyers, paid the top
price of the sale. 81 cents for car

Application will be filed Immediate
ly with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for authority to make the re-
duced rates on export traffic effective
on 10 days notice, but in the event of
the commission declines to approve
this. the reduced rates are to be filed
with the commission to become effec-

will expire December 81.
The cost of transportation service
at the present time does not justify
the heavy reductions which the car

been decided upon or are under dis
cussion as result of the plea of the
farmers and others for a readjustment

Washington. Aug Am initial vic
tory has been won by the United
States in the Egyptian cotton case
conference in London. according to a
! cable received today by the Shipping
! Board. The British conferees were
said to have agreed to allocate fifty
per cent. of the shipments of Egyp-

country to the United States.
The British shippers. the cabled re-
port said. refused to accede to the
demand of the United States that a
similar protection of indirect ship
ments, going by way of the United
Kingdom, be allocated to American
bottoms.
Officials of the shipping board were
of the opinion that the stand taken
by the British owners in regard to
indirect shipments was the result Of
their failure to understand in detail
the American claims. The boards
claim to half of tho tonnage between
port of trans shipment in the United

in the United States was entirely

Washington. Aug. A. Congress
was warned today by Secretary
Mellon that it must reduce govern
ment expenditures or increase the
nations tax burden.
Appearing before the House ways
and means committee the treasury
secretary declared that additional
cuts of more than s25O,O0O.000 would
have to be made in the estimated
expenditures of 550,O0O,O0O for
this fiscal year if additional taxes
were to be avoided.
Under estimates of federal outlay
for all purposes this year as present
cd by Mr.. Mellon. $3.50, 900, 900
would have to be raised by taxation,
whereas he estimated that the pres
ent revenue law would provide $780,
100000 less than that sum. due
largely to the shrinkage in the yield
from excess profits and income taxes.
Without the assurance of sub
stantial additional reductions in ex-
ppenditures," said Mr.. Mellon, 1T
would b. folly to proceed to reduce
revenue merely in the hope of re-
duced expenditures. Even without
i change in the law, revenue will
shrink from natural causes. and
will shrink, according to the present
outlook, at a faster rate than cur
rent expenditures"
Then the secretary proceeded to
show that expenditures thus far in
this fiscal year had actually in
creased as compared with those a
year ago. He told the committee
that ordinary expenditures for July,
, the first month of the fiscal year
We're 1922, 100000 as against S3O7,-
I 100000 in July 1920, leaving a current
deficit of s113,O00,000 as compared
with a deficit of $4,000. 900 in July
year ago. OF the total expendi-
lures last month Sis, 100000 was
for the account of the military and
naval establishments and $4,000
600 for the shipping board.
IF expenditures are to continue
at anything like these rates, the es-
innate will be greatly exceeded"
declared Mr.. Mellon.
Representative Mondell, of Wy
oming. Republican leader, declared in
a formal statement that it was en-
tirely practical in his opinion ito
reduce the total tax levy by at least
$500,000,000 and still meet all prop
er, necessary expenses of the gov
ernmcnt."
The excess profits tax and the
higher income surtaXes should be
repealed and nothing substituted for
them" said he. THE so-called
nuisance taxes and the transporta-
ton taxes, in whole or in part
