WASHINGTON
A deficiency appropriation bill car
rying approximately $104,000,O00, or
SS6,000000 less than the S190,000,000
requested by various government de-
partments, was reported by the House
appropriations committee. The navy
asked for S27, 100000 and was granted
nothing, while the veterans bureau.
which requested $121 100000, was al
lotted S85,O00,0O0.
Values of the merchandise exported
during October fell to fractional parts
of the totals for the same month last
year, while decided drops in imports
We're noted by the commerce depart
ment in its monthly summary. Exports
to Europe aggregated S196000, 900 com
pared with S423,0O0OO0 in October
last year, while imports amounted 10
$67 100000 against sSS,O00,000. Dur
ing the ten months ended with Octo-
ber exports to Europe were S2,056.000,-
900 against S3,720,000,000 the corre-
spending months of 1920, while imports
aggregated S622, 10000 compared with
S1,O7S, 100000
A positive order was issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission re-
quiring railroads to put the approxi-
mately 16 per cent decrease in hay
and grain rates into effect on or be-
fore next Dec. 81.
Conservative estimates of motor
vehicle production for 1921 forecast
total of 100000 passenger cars and
trucks. This compares with 1,92S,O00
for 1920. Inasmuch as 1t was predict
ed that 1921 would be "million-car
year." this output is highly gratifying
to the industry, for 1t demonstrates
conclusively that the sale of motor
vehicles is established on Il solid foun-
dations regardless Of general Industrial
conditions.
Fifteen ships Of the old navy will be
put on the auction block soon, is was

the cruiser Memphis, now a wreck on
the San Dominican coast, and the tor
pedo boat Dale, recently known as the
Oriole.
