the upward movem uncertain. In
the early dealings trading was

Effect of SMtares
On Duties Paid in Paper

A practical demonstration of the
difficulties encountered in doing
business in Italy under present con-
diuons of uncertainty Is shown by
the recent experience of an Amer
lean firm. This company had sue
ceeded in obtaining a considerable
order for aluminium cable. The
representative of the company who
had negotiated this order called for
information regarding the changes
in the regulations governing the
payment of customs duties in paper,
whereby the increase over the spec
fled rate was made 200 per cent
instead of 100 per cent (this surtax
has since been raised from 200 per
cent to 800 per cent?. This means
that the customer of the American
firm will have to pay so per cent
more duty (now 100 per cent more)
than was estimated when the order
was placed, which will amount to
something like s25,00o. and on this
account the order may be Cancelled,
although ii Is hoped 1t will not be
necessary. There was absolutely no
way in which this change in duty
could be foreseen, and the Incident
indicates how many elements of in
stability there are in the condi-
tions under which business must
now be done.

The political situation in Europe

expected on Monday although 1t
created nervousness. The trade
looked for a bearAh government re-

more than confirmed by the show

A feature in the trading was the
heavy selling of March wheat by the

Packing house employees through

products and the increase in ex-

wages.
A decrease Of cents an hour in

packers would still maintain the
forty-hour weekly guarantee and
would pay time and one-half after
