CANADA TARIFF
PUT NEFFECT

The important event of the
month in Canada, according to
the Business Summary of the
Bank of Montreal, has been the
coming into operation of the
trade agreements arrived at by
the Imperial Economic Conference
in August, in so far as they relate
to imports into Canada.
The changes in the Canadian
tariff are numerous, upwards OF
200, and all in the direction of in
creased preferences to British
products in the Canadian market,
the additional preferences being
given in the shape of free entry,
entry at lower rates of duty, or
by increasing the duty on articles
imported from other than British
countries.
The commodities principally af
fected are: Heavy chemicals
products of iron and steel, and
textiles, all of which, when OF
British origin. are placed in a
more favorable competitive posi-
tion in the Canadian market
against foreign products as well
as, to lesser extent, against the
products Of Canadian industries.

There is a good deal Of specula,

the agreements more than a
month ago. Of course, at present
it would be difficult to persuade
holders of Lackawanna to trade
their stock in for New York
Central, or those Of Reading for
Baltimore & Ohio, for example.
Sustained earnings would change
this picture.

NEW YORK, Oct. "a G.N.S0
Wall Street enters the new week
without an idea.
U. s. Steel directors meet to-
morrow afternoon and their
action will be extremely
important. In the meantime, the
market probably will do some
more drifting. One unfavorable
factor is that stocks have not
responded to good news, such as
the Unexpectedly big gain in Car
loadings on Saturday.
No Public Interest
This, however, may simply re-
fleet the general neglect of the
market. There is no public in,

wants to do anything in view of
prevailing uncertainties.

some interesting items. Coal
loadings were up 10,762 cars

STERLING SAGS
To NEW Low
FOR YEAR

NEW YORK, Oct. "a QNS)
Sterling today broke more than 6
cents in the local exchange mar
ket in a renewal of last weeks
decline, the slump carrying the
pound down to 3.333s, a new low
for the year and the lowest since
1920, when it was quoted at $3.l8.
Selling of sterling came almost
entirely from France, according
to banks here.
Bank Support Fails
So far, none of the New York
or London banks which supported
the pound in last weeks break
had come to the rescue. The
slump here reflected weakness in
London, where shortly after noon,
the pound ruled at $3.32R.
While New York bankers
ascribed the decline to the bear
ish speech of Montagu Norman
on Friday night, and the aban-
donment of the pegging opera
tions by the exchange equaliza-
ton fund, the dominant reason,
according to an outstanding au-
thority, is the abnormally high
levels of English securities COM
pared with their quoted levels in
other markets.
Commodities Low
This authority pointed out that
while securities on the London
market were comparatively high,
commodity prices are low.
The security prices are causing
liquidation and withdrawal of
capital from England by for
eign security holders. At the
same time, the low level of COM
modify prices is not helping ex.
ports in equal proportion.

By the Associated Press.
A significant Democratic tariff bill
calling for an international conference
TO eliminate high duty walls and au-
thorizing the President to negotiate
with foreign governments more re-
ciprocal tariffs, was introduced today in
the House.
It would urge the President to initi-
ate "a movement for a permanent in
ternational economic conference" but
would prevent American representatives
te the conference from discussing re-
duction of international debts.
1t was introduced by Chairman Col
lier of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee after it was approved by the
Joint Senate House Policy Committee
at a conference in Speaker Gamers
Office.
Creation Of a consumers counsel for
the commission is provided The rate
schedule is not touched in the measure.
The measure does not touch the rate
structure Of the tariff. 1t sets out a
policy that the Democrats would follow
in event they captured the Senate and
the House in the elections next Fall

Commission to make recommendations

for changes in duties.
