IMPORTANT MEET

IN MILWAUKEE,

Milwaukee, Wis.-A conferenee of
presidents Of important national and
international business associations to
discuss a coordination Of efforts, is to
be called here for next June by the
president of Associated Advertising
Clubs. Charles. Henry Macintosh. The
presidents, according to plans, would
include those of the oRtary clubs, the
National Dry Goods association, the
National Association OF Clothicrs and
similar bodies. Each would tell of
plans Of his association for the com
Ing year, and would point out how it
could assist the others. Instructions
to issue the call were given by the
executive committee OF the Associated
Advertising clubs.
The suggestion that such a confer
ence be held, 1t ri stated, grew out
Of the fact that on many occasions
the advertising clubs found other as
sociations ENGAGED in enterprises in
which the advertising organisation
could be distinctly helpful, and on
other occasions the advertising body
felt that ii other associations knew
more about the problems OF advertis-
Ing, all would profit"

The Northwestern Miller, in it's
weekly review Of the flour trade,
says:
BY far the most important event
of the week was the report of the
senate finance committee on the per-
manent tariff bill. This draft Of the
measure. carrying duties Of 30c a
bushel on wheat 78c per 100 pounds
on wheat flour and semolina, and 10
per cent al valorem on wheat mill
feeds, establishes a ratio Of five to
one between the duty on a barrel of
flour S1.529) and that on a bushel
of wheat. AS the ratio fixed by the
house bill was less than four to one
t9Sc pei barrel on flour and csc n
bushel on wheat). the senate's chang
es are highly gratifying to the milling
industry.
At the same time the alterations in
the tariff bill are so drastie1hat there
is every prospect of a long fight. with
the distinct possibility that the bill
may not become a law in any form
for months to come. AS this would
involve u continuation of business un-
der, the utterly unsatisfactory provi-
sions OF the emergency tariff law. the
qualification of the trade at the out-
come Of the senate committees de-
l~ibcrations is materially tempered.
Flour business throughout the weeE,
has been dull. with little demand. and
prices nominally unchanged. Feed is
II trifle stronger than a week ago, but
otherwise there has been no outstand-
ing feature to the weeks business,
and reports indicate a graduation re-
duction in milling, output all along
the line,
