Speculation Features
Boston Wool Market
Trading Active in South Ameri.
can ''Fives"; Other Grades
Are Quiet

BOSTON, Aprii s-Speculation IN
South American woods, known as
"fvefr a low grade from Buenos
Aires, was a feature of the market
during the week. 1t arose from the
demand on the part of the mills. which
had found call for cloth made from
such wools. The amount needed was
about 500 bales, but activity continues
after the mills had been supplied,
dealers buying speculatively among
themselves. The wools are reported 10
have been sold to the mills at about
25 to 2513 cents a pound, but specu-
lative sales took place, it is understood,
at prices ranging from "a to 81 cents.
The excitement died down, however, so
that there was little fuctuation in the
price and many sales were made at the
settled figure Of IS cents
The wool traded in was free wool,
which had been in stock before the
emergency tariff went into effect, ana
so dealers seem to be justified in
speculation. Recent cables from
Buenos Aires give quotations of 15i5
cents for standard "ives," skirted ana

in Boston, but subject to whatever duty

duty of 80 cents, which would meem
cost of 451a cents per pound, out
side of importers profit, charges, etc.
If the duty were 33 per cent, the fig
ure proposed by the majority of the
Senate Finance Committee, and based
on the secured content. the cost would
be higher. An importer would pay
$3.50 for 100 pounds as the first
cost. After shrinkage of 81 per cent,
the remaining SO pounds would require
a paymcnto s2O.79, with the duty of
33 per cent. The total cost would be,
cost, freight and duty paid, s36-29.
Considerable profit would be realized
by the holder of such woods bought
at around 26 cents.
Outside of the furry in South Amer

ingly quiet, a condition which usually
prevails in the latter part Of aMrch

Farm Issue In Canadian Tariff
Present Administration Is Friendly to Industry, bu,
Agricultural Interests May Seek to
Weld the Whip

down this session slight reductions in
customs import duties on agricultural
and other production machinery, boots
and shoes, mining and fisheries equip
ment and certain foodstuffs. These are
the items in respect Of which rcduc-
tions In duties are specifically de-
manded in the platform of the Progress
sives and, indeed, the Liberal platform
of 1919 also promised a lowering Of
duties. 1t seems highly improbable
that the government will make any
change in the duties on boots and
shoes at the present time. The shoe
manufacturing industry in Canada has
been passing through period Of
it is said, in its history, and failures
have been numerous. Then, too, the
fortunes Of that industry are peculiar
ly of concern to the Province Of
Quebec, where at least two-thirds Of
all tho shoes made in Canada are
produced. The government may we'll
tell the agrarian advocates of lower
tariff that its Quebec supporters--the
"Solid Quebec" which now stands with
the Liberal administration-would not
consent to see the shoe manufacturing
industry sacrificed or imperilsd by
even slight diminution Of tariff pro-
lection.
Agricultural Implements
The present protection on agricul-
tural implements, dairy machinery, ETC.,
possibly Is more seriously threatened.
Quebec's interest in such production,
while less than in the manufacture of
boots and shoes, nevertheless is very
considerable, and any proposal to re-
duce the duty on agricultural machin-
cry will meet with strong opposition
from many Leberal members. More
over, it is fact that the agricultural
implement schedules in the main are
lower already than any other major
group Of items in the Canadian Gus
toms tariff. 1t remains to be seen
whether tho necessity of propitiating
the Progressives will be regarded as
sufficiently pressing to induce the gov
ernment to reduce the rate Of duty on
agricultural implements over the pro-
About all that can be said safely at the
present time is that there will be few
tariff changes this session and that
these will not be increases. The gov
ernment will not make more reductions
than are regarded as imperative fol-
political reasons, and the position OF
the Minister Of Finance in the present
condition Of affairs is far from en-.
viable. There is serious question
however, as to how long the demands
Of the agragrian element can be with
stood
In the forthcoming budget speech
Mr.. Fielding is expected to announce
that, after the close Of the current
session Of Parliament, thorough
study Of the tariff will be undertaken
preparatory to general revision for
the first time since 1906-'07. Whether
the government will follow the ex-
ample Of the previous administration
and institute public tariff hearings
throughout Canada, or whether what
ever investigation may be considered
necessary will be conducted without
publicity, does not appear to have
been determined. 1t would not be slr-
prising, however, II the latter course
were followed.

More Attention Paid to Crop

The government report figures on
on Friday were not given very serious
cons deration as a market factor as
they were about in line with expecta-
tons and the trade was rather more
concerned over developments in rela
ton to the crop since the government
observations were taken.
The market was evidently in firmer
technical position as result of the
weeks operations, and after an early
decline of u al bc prices rallied on
the government report, and throughout
the greater part of the day ruled firm.
There was partial reaction from the
top, but the close was 5s@1ss above
the final figures of Friday.
There were number Of rather dis
couragng private reports from the
Southwest regarding the condition of
the crop there, but there also were
some favorable advices, and it was the
consensus of opinion that it will re-
quire another week or more before a
very definite idea can be formed as to
the amount of winter killing and the
condition Of the crop, which got late
SCarC lnere was some IuTtner DuylnR
of new winter wheat for late August
from Montreal, and exporters evidently
are preparing for new crop operations.
The corn market displayed little in
dividual feature, but after very mod
crate decline prices firmed up in SYM
pathy with wheat and closed firm, with
net gains of as@5sc. Shorts were the
bets buyers, and there was little pres
sure on the market
The oats market followed the gem
raj course of the other grains, and the
close was firm, with net advances Of

The Inspiration Consolidated Copper

said:
"A combined domestic and foreign
market too narrow to absorb current
production, the dumping of large guam
titles of scrap, both of copper and
brass, upon an unstable market, at
prices below cost of producing new cop
per. combined with labor and supply
costs above normal, excessive transor-
tation charges and inability, under cx-
listing laws, to take any constructive
ction, completed the demorilization Of
the business.
"To avoid serious loss, it became nee
essary to suspend operations. Lour
directors, therefore, ordered q close
down on March "a. 1921. Mining ceased
March 81 and from that dato to the
close of the year no production was
made. The close down continued until

Men Don't Follow Stage Style.

To very much less degree than is the

whereby they learn how they should dress
A new style in women's dress frequently

Of the garments taking their pay in the en-
hanced vogue of a fashion. There are
not many actors on the stage to-day who
could be said to serve as models to the
men in the audience. What man would
aspire to resemble an actor whose hair is
reeking with unguent, whose coats hold his
chest as in wise and whose whole attire
suggests the stage and the stage only?
1t was not always thus; John Drew as q
dress suit actor at the beginning of his
starring career and even while he was
still with DAILY did visualize to countless
audiences what a man in evening dress
should be. Exactly as his brother-in-law

One of the most fastidious among man
ayers of the stage is David Belasco, and
for a marvel this man, preoccupied with
the great things Of the drama and equally
with the veriest details of production, gives
always the impression of careful attention
to his dress. 1t is likely that he does this,
a system, and it is said that the manager
regularly four times a year replenishes
his wardrobe with the requisite number of
suits; but as these are all alike, in style
and fabric, the ordinary observer is kept
in state of wonder as to how this inn
maculate appearance is preserved while
he "keeps wearing the same clothes"

eve of their biggest production, feel it

Before we leave the stage and it's clothes
it occurs to me to be a fitting time TO
correct an error that often prevails about
the garments worn by men in stage plays
of to-day. It is that the actor appears in
the same garments on the street as on
the stage. No self-respecting actor would
do this. His stage clothes are for the
stage and for nowhere else, although it is
possible that they may duplicate clothes
worn in real life. Once in his dressing
room the actor makes a complete change.
The way he is CARRIED on the stage may
be absolutely different from the way he
prefers to be dressed as an individual.
The habits of the latter side of him are
however, apt to characterize his actor
side. that is, if he is careless and indif-
ferent about clothes in ordinary life he
is pretty sure to be careless and Indifferent
