Washington Notes on the Russian Wool Trade
United States consul at Odessa reports on the southern Russian wool trade to the U.S. He outlines that the trade has harmed U.S. revenue for twenty years and involves a few American importers and brokers who manipulate market prices for Donsker washed wool. Wools entered as low duties or misclassified as scourable wools, harming honest merchants and the U.S. government. The loss may exceed ten million dollars, potentially rising to 15 to 20 million. A salaried consul may be sent to Rostov-on-Don. Receipts show a December net gain of about 14.9 million with debt reduced by 15.25 million for the month. An alarming discovery notes grave defects in stock for the cruiser Charleston under construction in California, with 8-inch steel deck beams snapping under hydraulic load. Chicago Post Office charges claim tampering of private mail, illustrated by a letter handling mix-up involving J. J. Erestein and W. F. Schempferman. A powder explosion in Amos, China, killed and damaged many. The Oklahoma movement centers on Geida Springs with assurances no invasion plans. Congress is urged to act and appoint a commission. An overcast exchange ad and local notices follow. a six-room house for sale or trade for land.
