SUMMER MONTHS SLOW UP STOCK EXCHANGE CANADA MAY PLACE EMBARGO ON ALL PAPER WOOD PULP Business Dull and1 Only Favorite Stocks Move; Metals Are Holding Prices on Paying Basis. This Would Force American Factories to Build in Canada; Entire Industry Would Suffer. The stock market all over the country is slow, with occasional spurts now and then, and the prediction is made that the buying and selling will remain about the same as at present. The German mark has declined to 680,000 to the dollar and this has somewhat affected the market. Money is valueless in Germany and the people are now trading it for anything they can secure. The iron and steel trade takes on renewed life through heavy purchases, but the prices remain the same. Metals such as silver, lead, copper and zinc are stationary in price, with record production from most of the mines. The trading in stocks on the Salt Lake Mining Exchange has been very iight for several weeks, but there is a steady demand for the well known and dividend paying stocks. However, business is not as brisk as the brokers would like to see it. The reason for this is that many people are spending their vacations in the country, and those who have remained in the city do not care to transact any more business than is necessary to get along during the hot summer months. The report of platinum in paying quantities found in the Coeur dAlenes has been exploded and while some assays showed a trace of the precious metal, it was not sufficient to base any hopes upon a paying proposition. FOOD PRODUCTION. Washington, July 28. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is engaged in an agricultural survey of Europe, comparable statistics needed in estimating probable world demands for American crops and livestock. Surveys have been completed in Hungary, Austria, Rumania and Bulgaria. Surveys are in progress in France, Holland, Germany and the Mediter- ranean basin. As fast as the data is ascertained it is being printed. Some of those engaged in this work ' have returned. Among them is Chas. J. Brand, who visited all the principal Szecho-Slovaki- a, Jugo-Slavi- a, . European countries. Mr. Brand ports agriculture in European coun-tre- is has made greater progress toward normal conditions than indust-- . ry..

Conservation Is the excuse, but the pulp wood will be consumed in Canada by mills forced to operate in' that country. The debate in commons showed that the Canadians argued that the choicest of the Canadian forests goes to the American mills, providing employment for American workingmen and profit for the manufacturers. the policy on which she seems intent to embark.

But the prbposed legislation is seen here as an outright attempt to strike a blow at the American wood pulp and paper industries of sufficient strength to compel them to make Canada their base of manu- facturing operations in order that Canada may receive the benefits of retaliation was not made in the debate, so far as can be ascertained. Indeed, there is no reason for Canada to retaliate, since her sales to the United States under the Fordney-McCumbtariff law are greater by 40 per cent than they were under the Democratic tariff. The proposed embargo is simply a business proposition with Canada without regard to the injury it will inflict upon American mills. It is a method of trade duress which has never been invoked by the United States. We did have a brief embargo on dyes, not for the purpose of compelling German factories to come here, but in order to give our own industry an opportunity to entrench itself in this country. When that had been accomplished the embargo was removed, and it was a war measure at best.

(Special Washington, July Correspondence.) There has been a great deal of sickly sentimentality expressed for Canada by certain parties in this country who are opposed tariff law. to the Fordney-McCumbduty on wheat They think our is cruel and inhuman treatment of the Canadian wheat growers. Very recently an alleged farm organization ,which is quite patently an antiprotection outfit headed by a Democrat registered a strong protest against' the duty on cattle, saying that as a consequence the Canadian cattle which, in times past, had entered this country to the extent of 550,000head annually, were being deflected to Great Britain with a re- suiting loss to American feeders. When the president of the Canadian Manufacturers Association complained that Canada was getting the shore end of the bargain in the matter of tariff, his statement was given widespread publicity in this country, and favorably indorsed by the foes Hands across the of protection. border, and all that sort of thing has been worked to the limit. Embargo Bill Passed. But Canada is canny. The Canadian house of commons recently passed an act empowering the governor by order in council to emabrgo the exportation of pulp wood from the entire Dominion. The effect of such a proceeding on the paper manufacturers of the United States can be appreciated when it is stated that we import something like one million cords of pulp wool annually, practically all of which comes from Canada. While many American wood pulp mills depend on imports from Canada for their pulp wood, others own forests' in the Dominion, but the supplies of both would be cut off if a general embargo were ordered. The bill is now before the Canadian senate with the prospect of early passage and many American wood pulp and paper manufacturers are said to be appealing to the American government to avert the consummation of the program proposed.
