V % f HMW MOOT HUN TO ABOLISH PRICE CONTROL Information receive:? from abroad by tho (Juarantee Tiusfc Company of New York indicates a marked (.urease in tho agitation in (Icrman;.1 favoring abolition of the price control system which has been in operation since December, 1JM9, and under which export licenses are refu.-ed unless proof is furnished that :-ufl':cicnt,y high price has been charge': lor tho goods to be exported. The effort of the systoir. in some cases, has been to cause lover prices at home, the manufacturer finding compensation by making foreign purchasers pay; but in many instances, notably the potash industry the policy resulted in a refu.a! by foreigners to pay the price a :V The United States ceased to take German potash, and the German iron trade has been unable to meet the competition of Belgium, Luxembourg and Lorraine. In other instances, the home trade has been neglected on account of the high prices which could be obtained abroad, and a shortage occured at home. The government has so fat made concessions by allowing a large number of articles of minor importance to be exported without license, and no additional list is under consideration. In order to obtain regular supplies of raw materials for the use of German industries, foreign firms have been allowed to obtain interests in German concerns and companies have been formed abroad in which German companies have taken stock.

German manufacturers are securing considerable orders in Argentina for fencing wire, rods, bars, billets, railway rolling stock axles, wheels and are offering prices with which no [other country can compete.

A certain variety of mud fish found in nearly all parts of the State is re- j sponsible for this. This queer member of the finny tribe inhabits streams or ponds which have mud banks or bottoms, is black and weighs up to five or six pounds. When the water in a pond evaporates, as it does during certain seasons of the year, leaving only a mass of mud, which does not worry the fish.
