Mere Maaafaetarers Than Feed. The greet bulk of our heavily in- .-reased export» is made up of man¬ ufactured articles or of articles partly manufactured and the statis¬ tic» furniahed by Washington that In 191C raw material exported from the United State» amounted to only about one fifth of the total export». We »hall have therefore after the war Is ended a very great produc¬ tive capacity. The experts say that the output of our manufactorte» will vastly exceed tbe domestic demands for article· of this kind and* that we therefore must seek to market the surplus In foreign lands. More and more the attention of thoee who are »tudyinr thla subject is being concentrated upon the fa¬ cilities for maintaining and increas¬ ing the commerce for which the Panama Canal will offer facilities. It le one of the two »omewhat curi¬ ous coincidences from tho point of time, associated with the beginning of th·-Europea ? war, that the Pan¬ ama canal was opened to navigation a «hört time before the war began. The other coincidence le to be found In the fact that our Federal Reserve Banking system wa» organised and put Into operation with result» that have been highly gratifying, only a few weeks before the Kaleer declar¬ ed war cet Franco aaa-Ruesla. The men who are competent to alvo Judgment worth heeding «are now convinced thet the opening of the Panama Canal for navigation will, in addition to our abundant ¦upply of shipping, enable us to maintain and increase our foreign commerce, after making due allow¬ ance for the curtailment of that eommerce which will follow the closing of the war. uml«r from West Ceaet. Western Canada will use the Panama Canal and her lumbermen are already makim; arrangement.·« for ehlpments of lumber in enor¬ mous quantities from the Pacific Coast to the seaport» on the At- lantlc even estimating that this lumber can be marketed In the Cen¬ tral Weat at a price which can command those interior markets. That would be due to tbe low cost of transportation from the Pacific to tho Atlantic. We ahall have large expert trade to Canada, but almost all of it will roe» on our northern boundary, not much reaching Canada by way of the Pacific Coast. But there Is South America and the Far East a nere the greatest opportunties for Increasing our markets for manufactured products will be dis¬ closed. Heretofore Germany and ? ; rest Britain commanded much the larger part of the South American 11 ade. 'Wmany has now lost her share. and it Is doubtful whether she will lie* able to regain any considerable part of it until long after the war Is ended, if ever.

Stock gambling by Inalder« who use their .confidential information on tha price-ttiting actlvittea of th* War In« duatrlea Board is to be curbed by the board. Chairman Bernard Baruch made thla plain at his conference with newspaper men yeaterday. Tbe policy of the price-fixing committee of the. board in withhold¬ ing Its achedulea of new prices until submitted to tbe President has been a storm center for months. Maaafaetarrra Get FIrat New·. Ia fixing «uch price«, and they range from Iron and »teel ores, cop¬ per to cotton prints, it has been th· committee's custom to hear delega¬ tion» from th« national organization» of the manufacturing industrie» in¬ volved. These delegations have sat with the committee, and practically aa a part of It. They have offered figure* on coat of production and con¬ ditions of the trade, and when they have left the meetings hav« in practi¬ cally every Instance known what tho new price» were to be. The prlce-flxlng committee, however, ha» ii. every Instance withheld an¬ nouncement until after the schedule ha* been aubmltted to the President snd «pproved by him, which la usually from three day* to two week* later. It has been repeatedly charged to the board that th«· representatives of the trad* present at their meetings hav* at once burned the wire« to New York to their houses advising them of the new schedule« so that they might mak* any market turns that would profit them before the format announcement, which would put the rest of the trade wise, and to their brokers ordering stock ex¬ change operations which would skim off profit when the new commodity prices were announced. That the trade became aware of the new prices long before his com¬ mittee announced them was evident lo Baruch yesterday when a rep¬ resentative of a trade paper preaent »aid that he had in his pocket a let¬ ter from his editor In New Tork giv¬ ing him a complete schedule of the cotton print price* recently fixed by th* committee, though no announce¬ ment had been made by the com¬ mittee. The price« were supposed to have been obtained from a friendly manufacturer preaent at the confer« enee here. Baraeh Smile«. "We can't court-martial them all at each meeting." «aid Baruch, him¬ self a former Wall street man, "and we probably can't stand them up against a way and shoot them at sunrise, but . . and he" «railed the Baraeh «mile. He was to confer with R. B. Brook- in«, chairman of the price-fixing committee, and it wa* expected that after each session in the future the committee would announce «aat what had been done. While this matter wa» being con- tldered th* price-Axing committee wa* in session with a amali com¬ mittee of steel men, in a preliminary discussion of steel rail», steel wire and steel rope. Though theee price« were fixed les« than two week* ago, there may be some slight change. COTTON MARKETS. New York, July 3..After shearing ti ran (-a* at od« tima ip tbe morning tbe cotton market io**, further ground today. Little was heard ot tbe íaqniry for the »put article noted ia the South Dot lone ago. At tbe opening price» üfsmt iteady at an «d- lance ot 10 rouit-, to a decline of | pointa.

SPECULATIONBY INSIDERSTO BE CURBED

Price Changes by the WarBoard Will Be Started

at Once.Stock gambling by Inalder« who use

their .confidential information on thaprice-ttiting actlvittea of th* War In«duatrlea Board is to be curbed by theboard. Chairman Bernard Baruchmade thla plain at his conferencewith newspaper men yeaterday.

Tbe policy of the price-fixingcommittee of the. board in withhold¬ing Its achedulea of new prices untilsubmitted to tbe President has beena storm center for months.

Maaafaetarrra Get FIrat New·.Ia fixing «uch price«, and they

range from Iron and »teel ores, cop¬per to cotton prints, it has been th·committee's custom to hear delega¬tion» from th« national organization»of the manufacturing industrie» in¬volved. These delegations have satwith the committee, and practicallyaa a part of It. They have offeredfigure* on coat of production and con¬ditions of the trade, and when theyhave left the meetings hav« in practi¬cally every Instance known what thonew price» were to be.The prlce-flxlng committee, however,

ha» ii. every Instance withheld an¬nouncement until after the scheduleha* been aubmltted to the Presidentsnd «pproved by him, which lausually from three day* to two week*later.

It has been repeatedly charged tothe board that th«· representatives ofthe trad* present at their meetingshav* at once burned the wire« toNew York to their houses advisingthem of the new schedule« so thatthey might mak* any market turnsthat would profit them before theformat announcement, which wouldput the rest of the trade wise, andto their brokers ordering stock ex¬change operations which would skimoff profit when the new commodityprices were announced.That the trade became aware of

the new prices long before his com¬mittee announced them was evidentlo Baruch yesterday when a rep¬resentative of a trade paper preaent»aid that he had in his pocket a let¬ter from his editor In New Tork giv¬ing him a complete schedule of thecotton print price* recently fixed byth* committee, though no announce¬ment had been made by the com¬mittee. The price« were supposed tohave been obtained from a friendlymanufacturer preaent at the confer«enee here.

Baraeh Smile«."We can't court-martial them all

at each meeting." «aid Baruch, him¬self a former Wall street man, "andwe probably can't stand them upagainst a way and shoot them atsunrise, but . . and he" «railedthe Baraeh «mile.He was to confer with R. B. Brook-

in«, chairman of the price-fixingcommittee, and it wa* expected thatafter each session in the future thecommittee would announce «aatwhat had been done.While this matter wa» being con-

tldered th* price-Axing committeewa* in session with a amali com¬mittee of steel men, in a preliminarydiscussion of steel rail», steel wireand steel rope. Though theee price«were fixed les« than two week* ago,there may be some slight change.
