levied en- imports. TO compete SUCCESS
tuliy with foreign coutries in the man
ufacture and sale of many articles that
up to a few years ago were largely inn
ported.
Dealers state that before and during
the war the United States took "A great
lead IN machine and carpenters tools
sold in the Canadian market This
lead, 1t is added, is still maintained to
n considerable degree, despite the un-
favorable exchange and other adverse
influences, largely on account of the
TACT that the manufacturers of the
United States make a superior grade Of
tools. In the matter of builders hard
ware the high rate of exchange. added
TO the duty, has had the effect OF
largely divertinE this trade TO Cana
dian factories, which now supply tho
bulk of these goods.
As regards table cutlery, this is al
most entirely imported from England,
whlle IN the line of shears, scissors
and pocket knives Germany ia at pres
ent Leading all countries in supplying
tnetCanadian demand by reason of the
lower prices quoted. The stoves and
ranges sold arc practically all of Cana
dian manufacture, tine only exceptions
being certain kinds of oil stoves which
are purchased in the United States.
Othcrs are made in Canada under
United States patents.
Farm implements and machinery. en-
glnes, etc, sold in the Canadian mar
kct are practically all of local manu-
fscture' although some special types of
tnese are purchased in the United
States.

Canadian Duties
Restricting Buying

Germany Placing Cutlery in
Dominion at the Lowest
Prices; Branch Factories
Making American Goods

Conditions affecting the market for
American hardware in Canada are de-
scribed in a report made to the Depart
ment Of Commerce by Consul General
Edward N. Gunsaulus at Halifax.
While Canadian merchants look to
the United States for many articles of
hardware, machinery and tools, it is
stated, the high rate of customs duty
and tho unfavorable rate of exchange
which has prevailed for the last year
or two have combined to restrict
greatly purchases in that direction.
German influence, it is said. is also
beginning to be noticeable in this par
ticeJ ar trade, especially as relates to
cutlery, the prices quoted on which are
said to be much lower than those OBJ
tsinable from other quarters. On the
other hand, as a result of the estab
hshment of branch American and other
manufacturing concerns in Canada.
Canadian factories are able, with the
aid Of substantial customs duty

toned the fact that Maine has over
400 employers and over 0,000 en-

employers of Maine paid in premi =

$1410102, and but S665, $50 came back
to people of Maine in compensation,
but that the latter figures showed an
increase of about 50 per cent. over
the compensation paid during 1919.
due largely he thought, to the pres

the absolute Willingness Of the com
missioners to give their time without
limit 10 consideration Of cases.
only Al per cent. of the premiums
have come back to Maine in the COM
pensations and today the insurance
companies are asking for an increase
to the employers of from 90 to 80
per cent. With our proposed addi-
