Commercial Treaty Recently
Amended Provides Schedule of
Tariffs Affecting All Nations.
OF the Associated Press

correspondence OF the ASSOCIATED fress.
TOXIC, May 12.-Negotiations re-
Gently completed in London for re-
vision of the Anglo-Japanese treaty
of commerce and navigation, which
resulted in the abrogation of article
of the treaty, providing for sched-
ule of conventional tariffs, will
change conditions affecting all i'm
porters, including Americans, of iron
and steel into Japan.
Article s provided for conventional
tariffs on several classes of goods,
mostly woolen and cotton fabrics and
yarns. but also including steel and
iron products. American sellers of
iron and steel have enjoyed the low
rates provided under the most IA
Vored nation clause in the American
commercial treaty with Japan
The article in the British treaty
restores the general tariff schedule on
all goods covered in that article The
increase on black iron sheets, for
instance, will be almost skiold These
goods paid sos yen per ton under
the conventional tariff arrangement
with Great Britain. The general
tariff rate is Is per cent ad valorem,
which at the new market price of 200
yen ton would mean a duty of 80
yen per ton. In the same way the
duty on sheet tin is raised from
l1.s5 yen ton to so yen a ton and on
galvanized sheets from 20 yen to As
yen ton.

By the Associated Press
ATLANTA. May 30.-There is no

is for industrial and commercial leaders
10 sit steady in the boat" j. w Meaker

pany of Chicago told delegates at the
closing session of the Southeastern

'One of the weaknesses of the public
is the habit Of gauging prosperity by
peaks attained in periods of so-called
good times, rather than on the aver
age, Meaker asserted. There is no
reason for a pessimistic outlook. and
business in general must continue 60
Ing ahead on steady basis. In other
words, sit steady in the boat

how Griffin business men had encouraged
thirty farmer boys to demonstrate that
cotton profitably could be grown un-

POLICE TOLD TO WATCH
STREET CAR SPEEDING

The tardy young man who rushes
into the Office late and announces
in a most convincing tone that the
cars just dragged along this morn
ing will have TO work up new alibi.
Commissioner Oyster. who keeps
his hand on the pulse of the traffic
situation. has ruined this ever-ready
excuse by telling the police of COM
plants that some street cars travel
too fast.
In the same communication the
Commissioner asks the police to
study the question of keeping stree I
ears sufficiently apart on busy streets
to enable traffic to move freely across
the streets
The Commissioner also directs the
police to be on the lookout for vio-
lations of the regulations governing
the size and location of advertising
siens on buildings throughout the
city.
A fourth memorandum directs the
bluecoats % cooperate with the
health department in enforcing the
law against the growth of high weeds
on vacant lots. Commissioner Oyster
believes the elimination of weeds
would add greatly to the attractive
ness of the Capital.

COTTON men AWAIT
U. S. REPORT ON CROP
Interest of Traders Center in First
Statement of Season Show
ing Conditions.
WIDE RANGE IN ESTIMATES
Market Tone Generally Steady at
the Week End.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associat ted Press.
NEW YORK, May 30.-The atten-
tion of cotton traders here has CEN
tered on the probable showing of the
first government crop report of the
season. which is scheduled for publi-
cation on Monday, and attention also
was given to the evening up of COM
mitments in advance of the Memorial
day adjournment. Bullish private
crop reports and unfavorable weather
news stimulated buying early in the
week, but after advancing to 27.22 for
October contracts on Monday offer
ings became freer. Evidently there
was r tendency to believe that the
price was high enough to discount an
expected government condition of be-
tween 81 and IS, and the disposition
to take profits on recent purchases
was promoted by the approach of the
holidays. There were reactions of
some 90 to so points from the best in
consequence, but the continuance of
unfavorable weather in the south re-
stricted selling, and the market
showed a generally steady undertone
toward the end of the week.
Thirteen Private Reports.
No less than thirteen private crop
reports had been issued up to the
close of the market on Thursday. with
condition figures ranging from 64.9 up
TO 69.6 and averaging Cos. A this
time last year the same reports
showed condition figures ranging
from 81 UP to 12.5. averaging 70.7.
This years private reports have
pointed to an increase in acreage of
about Az per cent and an indicated
crop of IL, 100000 bales on the aver
age. The governments report on
Monday will give no figures on this
years acreage or indicated yield. but,
on the basis of the private reports.
condition of around 81 would prob
ably be construed as pointing to
crop in the neighborhood of Il 500, 600
bales. Many traders feel that with
good weather from now on. the crop
proyement as occurred following a
very low end-May condition in 1920.
but that a change from recent unset
tied weather and low temperatures is
needed in the near future to prevent
increased anxiety over the outlook.
Some Speculative Buying.
Some speculative buying of cotton
goods has been reported. but other
wise adviceS from the local goods
market have indicated very little i'm
provement in the demand. and some
thing of a falling off in spot business
has been indicated since the filing of
May commitments. The first govern
ment report on acreage and indicated
yield for this season Is scheduled for
publication on July ., in connection
with the condition as of June 25.
