SiIesian Goods Now Will Be
Admitted Without Further
Payment of Duty.

A significant feature of the Polish
decree Of April I. promulgated April
"a. which effects an important re-
vision of the Polish customs tariff.
Is the provision that merchandise
coming from Polish Silesia is to be
admitted into Poland proper free Of
all duties, effective May 1. 1922. says
the tariff division of the Department
of Commerce.
The Polish customs decree Of April
I. Is to govern the customs treat
nent of imports for the period from
May 1 up to August 81. 1922. The
present decree consists of a revision
OF the articles which may be admitted
free of duty. and Of changes in the
rate of conversion Of gold and paper
marks for the payment of import
duty on the different classes OF
goods.
The only articles admitted free
under the new schedule are: Fresh

crude amber. The suspension OF the
import duty on certain fcodstuffs,

Ten per cent to Is per cent of

Acting Commercial Attache Breed.
in a report to the Department of
Commerce.
The principal German textile dis
tricts in which cotton waste manu-
featuring is carried on are Bavaria,
Wuerttemberg. Baden. Rhineland
and Westphalia. Many mills turn
out cotton waste fabrics. however,
working only part time on such
yarns and fabrics. The total num-
Der of spindles employed in this
industry Is not definitely known,
but the Germany federal bureau for
the cotton industry CReichswirt-
schaftsstelle fuer Baumwolle), es-
Inmates the number of mills which
work on cotton waste as 100.
While mule spindles are at pres
ent in more general use in cotton
waste. spinning ring spindles seem
to be more extensively used In re-
placements. Plain types of looms,
chiefly the four-harness type, are
in use: automatic or jacquard looms
are. used only a very little The
condenser system is employed al
most entirely for preparing the
waste. the collier system being al
most wholly unknown.
All sorts of cotton waste ma
terials are consumed by the mills,
but linters. sweepings, rags, lap
ends, clippings. silver and bobbin
waste are most common. The prin-
cipal products made from these
wastes are light weight. coarse
textiles which are largely con-
sumed domestically by the peasant
classes or exported to foreign
countries with very low foreign
exchange rates. other uses of cot
ton waste in Germany are in the
manufacture of cheap blankets

is consumed by paper manufacturers
in making paper roofing.

COTTON ERRATIC
in ACTIVE TRADE
Market Maintains Good Un.
dertone of Strength, as
Prices Fluctuate.

NEW YORK. June 5.-The cotton
market was fairly active for the
short trading session today. There
were the usual liberal proft-taking
sales over the weekend. but this
pressure was offset TO a large ex-
tent by local trade buying and also
considerable fresh speculative pur-
chases for Wall Street and western
traders on reports Of further unde-
sired heavy rains in some sections
of the central part of the belt. as
well as in the Atlantic states. The
whole cotton belt has been 80 long
subjected to wet weather. that IL
has now become a matter of gen.
eral complaint. Besides causing
protracted delay in replanting
where the fields as well as the low
lands were flooded by excessive
rains at intervals the last month,
in other sections the plants have
gone too much TO weeds and grassy
fields are complained: In addition to
all of which planters are apprehen-
sive of unusual damage by the
spread of the boil weevil.
The market opened firm and
around last nights prices follow
ing which there was a decline of
about 10 points for some of the
active trading months. This was
followed by a renewed advance
which brought the whole list up
to between and 10 points from
yesterdays strong closing. July
sold at 20e2. October 20.64. Decem-
ber 2O.46 and next January deliver
