American Shipment Awaiting Ac-
tion by Belgium on Lowering
Tariff Rates.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BRUSSELS, July 2S.-NearIy 5000
American 'fiivvers" are waiting in
bond at the port of Antwerp to see
whether the Belgian parliament will
pass legislation lowering the rate
OF tariff duties on foreign automo-
biles. If this legislation is passed,
Henry Ford will make a nice profit;
If not, he will lose.
BY the terms of the Franco Belgian
commercial accord, signed the last of
May OF this year. Belgium accorded
preferential tariff rates to France on
a number of special articles, includ-
ing automobiles. and by virtue OF the
most favored nation" clause existing
between Belgium and the United
States, she is obliged to grant the
same concession to American goods.
This commercial accord was ratified
Immediately by France but not by
Pelgium. Interested persons hope
that King Albert's parliament will be
able to take up the matter before
dissolving for their summer vaca-
ton, which starts August i. Many
believe parliament should turn down
the whole agreement as unfayorable
to Belgium

Dun's Review Notes Hesitation iii
Business World.

NEW YORK. July 2S.-Dun's Re
view today said:
Hesitation characterizes the situa-
tion In some important staple lines
and checks early orders, but in other
departments of trade new business
is in fair volume for this season.
Conditions as to the growing cotton
crop bear heavily on the markets for
cotton goods, and while some inter-
est is always manifest at this period
it Is greater this year because Of the
larger cotton acreage and the posi-
bility of a very heavy yield.
In the meantime cotton goods pro-
duction Is materially reduced, as
operators are indisposed to continue
output with existing uncertainties.
New England producers now report
substantial orders for shoes, and
hides are more active. with prices for
staple grades higher. Even in the
iron and steel industry early de-
livery orders are quite numerous.
Curtailment Of production, now just
apparent, Is on orders booked earlier
in the year. blast furnace activity in

COMMODITY PRICES
DROP DURING WEEK
Wheat and Cotton Draw Most At
tention-Money Stays Rela-
lively Easy.
BY the Associa ted Press.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Stock and.
bond prices pointed upward on dull
trading during the early part of this
weeks market. but slumped again at
the close of the week on selling of
professional origin. Commodity prices,
particularly of wheat and cotton.
sustained a sharp break, the former
touching new low quotations for the
year on reports of poor export pros
poets, and the latter yielding on re-
ports of favorable weather in the cot
ton belt which would make for q
larger crop than originally estimated.
Special attention was again paid
during the week to the foreign situa-
zion, but there was no disposition to
discount possible developments pend
ing the publication of the French re-
ply to the British note on reparations.
Money continues relatively easy.
Several large institutions are report
ea 20 have been switching lately from
short-time notes to long-term gov
eminent bonds, this being construed
as indicating that they expected a
long period of easy money rates.
