PROTESTSAROUSED
BY STEEL IMPORTS
Reciprocal Trade Program
Sc0red-PreSSure on
Building Costs Seen.
BY the Associated Press.

Complaints against mounting iron
and steel imports are sounding in the
wake of the administrations initial
ventures in the field of reciprocal for
eign trade treaties.
Protests against incoming foreign
steel from Spokesmen for the industry
were held by some trade students here
to be in part kickback from the re-
Gently operative treaty with Belgium.
It made tariff concessions on iron
and steel products and was the first
agreement under the reciprocal treaty
program to touch important competi-
tive markets of domestic industry.
Trade in May-the first month the
Belgium agreement operated-was
marked by expansion in iron and
steel imports. But whether the gain
could be attributed chiefly to the Bel
gium treaty was not clear from the
foreign trade figures.
Illustrates Trade Problem.
The iron and steel situation, how
ever, was cited in trade promotion
circles here as an illustration of the
major problem involved in the effort
to open the channels of foreign COM
merce to a larger exchange of goods.
The trade program has been
founded on the thesis that the United
States would have to expand its buy
ing abroad in order to find market
for its own surplus of farm and manu-
factured products and to collect debts
abroad.
It was acknowledged by officials
that such program hardly could go
far without treading on some toes,
although the avowed aim was to
restrict tariff concessions as much as
possible to imports entering into a
minimum of competition with domes-
tic products.
Building Costs Cited.
The Belgian treaty, with its con-
cessions on iron and steel and other
building materials, was interpreted in
some quarters as designed to help
bring down domestic costs to further
building revival.
Building materials, as measured by
indices compiled by Government
statEticians, have sagged slightly, but
the recession has been mainly in GER
tain lumber products.
Many price students hold steel
prices to be out of line with other
parts of the domestic price structure,
whether due to labor costs or sother
causes.

the rent money toward eventual own

IMPROVED RETAIL
BUSINESS HAILED
Commerce Department Reports
Volumes Above Last Year.
Auto Sales Mount.

BY the Associated Press.
Improved retail trade throughout
the country for the week ended July
"a, compared with the same period
last year, was reported yesterday by
the Commerce Department.
Contrary to the usual sesonal trend,
retail automobile sales increased from
May to June this year.
Weather conditions and other sea-
sonal factors accounted for some re-
cession in retail trade from the pre-
vious week, the department said
Larger demands for building materials
and household equipment were de-
scribed as a result of general up
swing in building.
A IL per cent gain in New York
department store sales was attributed
partially to the New Jersey sales tax.
Chain stores in the New York area
showed q larger volume of business
than last year.
Retail sales in Chicago likewise in
creased. Philadelphia's leading de-
partment stores and womens shops
reported sales nearly 4 per cent above
the corresponding week last year.

OUTLOOK CLOUDED
FOR TIRE INDUSTRY
Manufacturers Caught Be-
tween Low Prices and
Stable Crude Rubber.
By the Associated Press.

by lI6 ASSOCldJeO FEeSS
NEW YORK, July 27.-Tire manu-
facturers, caught between low domes-
tic tire prices and stabilized crude
rubber market, face an uncertain Fall
and Winter season.
Two price wars have torn the re-
tail trade this year and analysts of
the industry see no permanent truce
in the immediate future.
While leaders declare there Is no
likelihood of a decrease in the crude
rubber price structure within the next
few months, there is no outSpoken
dissatisfaction of the present spot
price of about II cents a pound,
ribbed smoked sheets, New York.
The fiscal position of the industry
is summed up in a survey by Standard
Statistics Co., which shows the aver
age inventory costs of crude rubber
are about II cents pound, some SO
per cent higher than year ago.
The hourly wage in the last few
months has been about 13 per cent
above year ago.
But tire prices have been about 9
per cent higher than this time last
year. Price cutting" said Standard
Statistics, recently has prevented full
realization of even this advance"
Replacement of worn-out tires this
year is expected in trade circles to be
somewhat below that total for 1884,
but the use of a greater number of
tires as original equipment is antici-
pated.
In 1884 the shipments of tires for
all uses were 46,785 900, and the
standard survey forecast that 1885
totals would moderately exceed" last
year.
Manufacturers this year stocked up
supplies in anticipation Of strikes and
the heavy inventories contributed to
the weakness of the price structure
during the midpoint of the first part
of this year, trade experts assert.

that was new to them. 1t gave then
strange feeling. 1t gave them ar
uneasy feeling, yet they knew not why
it should. That uneasy feeling in
creased as they saw Mother become
uneasy She got to her feet and stood
perfectly still, with her nose lifted
testing The wind, and her ears set to
catch every sound.
For perhaps two or three minutes
there was nothing to be heard save
the usual sounds of the Green Forest
Then they heard again that strange
voice that made them feel so uneasy
1t was an impatient yelp. 1t was the
yelp of a Dog. OF course. the twins
didn't know this, but Mother recog-
nized it and she trembled. 1t wasn't
the voice Of BowSer the Hound from
Farmer Browns, nor the voice of Flip
the Terrier. 1t was the voice of a
strange Hound.
That impatient yelp meant that he
was working out a cold trail If it
had been fresh, warm trail. he would
have been baying steadily as he fol-
lowed it. A warm trail is one where
the scent lies fresh and strong A
cold trail is one where the scent has
almost wholly disappeared and can be
found only here and there. When the
Dog lost it and couldn't find it for
some time he yelped with impatience.
When he would find a place where
the scent was stronger he would bark
instead of yelping.
Mother Deer listened a little while,
until she was sure of what she feared,
which was that it was the trail of
herself and the twins that the Dog
was working on. She felt sure Of this,
because that sound was coming from
Just where she and the twins had been
early in the evening before.
As soon as she had made up her
mind that the Dog was after them, she

TN ALL the Green Forest there was
no prettier sight than Mrs. Light
foot the Deer, with her two fawns.
i They were such beautiful little
folk. with their great soft eyes, such
gentle little folk, that it seemed i'm
possible that any one would seek to do
them harm. But there were hungry
folk in the Green Forest who would
gladly have made a dinner of one of
the fawns had they had the chance.
So Mother was constantly on the alert,
watching, listening and testing the
air for the presence of one of these
enemies. She herself had little to fear
from any of her neighbors, save one.
Puma the Mountain Lion, whom some
people call Cougar and some people
call Panther, is always to be feared

but with the fawns it was very diff
ferent, for they had not yet the
strength to run long and hard, if such
should be necessary.

a certain thicket on the hillside to
rest through the heat of the day,
Mother suddenly stretched her neck
a little higher than usual and set her
ears. She had caught some faint
sound and was listening to this. The
fawns did as she did. At first they
