C CHAMBER IS TO ASSEMBLE DATA
 FOR MOI RE DUTY
Will Back Its Request for Higher Duty on Her
 ring with Figures

To prepare Alaska's case for an increase of 50 per cent ln the existing duty on imported cured herring, soon to be considered by the United States Tariff Commis- sion at special hearing, the Chamber of Commerce will appoint a special committee next week, 1t was announced today by John W. Jones. President. This action was suggested by Frank H. Foster, who stressed the importance to the Territory of the suggested increase.
 The Chamber initiated this move ment sometime ago by petitioning the Tariff Commission for a hear ing. Several other Chambers have endorsed it, the latest having been Ketchikan which has just advised the local organization of its favor able action.
 Cured Production Small
 While the Alaska production of mild cured herring is small, that is because local packers cannot compete with foreign importers under the present tariff rate, and not owing to any lack of supplies of fish for processing, MT. Foster pointed out. More and more AL aska packers have had to reduce herring to oil and meal because they have been crowded out of home markets by the more cheaply produced foreign article, he added
 With an capitalized market the herring curing industry in Alaska would be almost if not entirely as large as the salmon canning in- dustry, he asserted. It would be of much importance since it would furnish local fishermen with em- ployment for longer period each year than can be had in salmon fishing.
 MT. Foster said he had just been

Aged Liquor Very Scarce; DistiIIers Are On Jump,
 Anticipating Big Demand

there are about 18.800,000 gallons of whisky in bonded warehouses, most of which is relatively young liquor. It is estimated that stocks of whisky four years old or more the required age for medicinal whiskies under prohibition regula- tions-amount to a little more than 100000 gallons.
 A scarcity demand for this aged whisky has already developed, and it is expected that the 100000 gallons would be withdrawn quick ly after repeal to be used for blending and rectifying. This aged liquor, experts at the bureau say could be blended to produce some 40,o00,000 to 50000,000 gallons ot good whisky. while liquor from two to four years old or perhaps young CT could be satisfactorily blended

The attitude of the American government toward the German crisis shows again how fully the Administration is concentrating on affairs at home, leaving intena- tional considerations in the back ground.
 Under the Hoover administration Germany's withdrawal from the Arms Conference might have spread shock and alarm in Wash ington. President Hoover and Sec retary Stimson burned much mid night oil studying the problem of European harmony, convinced It held the key to world recovery and hence to American recovery.
 Now the policy is one of watch and-wait. MT. Roosevelt has put himself on record as disappearing the non-cooperation of Chancellor Hitler, but Washington has shown no great excitement. It is pre- occupied with farm prices, bank deposits, oil regulation.

ty hopeless, anyhow, and write It off the books.
 Administration statisticiahs who have been working on the currency question have figured out that on- ly per cent of American produc- tion and consumption ever comes into contact with the foreign mon ey markets, and need trouble itself about foreign exchange rates.
 One high authority, rejecting suggestions that the American dol lar be stabilized against the Eng fish pound, asks: why let the four per cent tail wag the 96 per cent dog?"
 That is one viewpoint. Those who take the other argue that 1t would be fairer to conclude that so long as the 4 per cent tail is caught in the door, the rest of the dog won't be of much use.

Chicago. Oct. 2.-(AP)-President
Rooseyelt's address in Chicago Mon
day threw no light on the administra-
tons financial program and grain
prices sagged as the day drew to an
end.
Many grain traders had been in
clined to look for some definite an
nouncement from the president as to
monetary affairs. Government plans
to spend $3.50. 200. 900 to purchase food.

Helping to give firmness to wheat
values were unofficial monthly crop
estimates which showed an average Of
$4,000, 900 bushels for 1888 domestic
spring wheat production. This COM
pared with the government Sept. l
forecast Of 168,000,000 bushels and
with 265, 600 900 harvested in 1892. The
unofficial crop summaries indicated
also that United States oil conditions
were generally unfavorable for winter
wheat preparation and seeding except
in limited areas.
Corn and oats prices were inclined
to lag compared to wheat. Provisions
were responsive to hog market up
turns.
