Washington, July 23. --While no agreement was reached by tho tariff conferees today on coal, lumber, hides, oil, Iron ore, tho cotton schedule or wood pulp and print paper, It was said tonight that the prospects of settling these big questions tomorrow wore ex cel lent. Heroic mossure wern used In nn effort to adjust differences between tho senate and house and to carry out President Taft's program for n reduc tion of duties on raw materials. All tho conferees said tonight that tho feelings they entertained for ono an other worn time pleasant than they had been for many days. Thursday, duly 22. Washington. July 22.

Tlie senators opposed to tho f res raw material program were consulted today by Mr. Aldrlcb, and a committee rep resenting tho samo iiosltion on tho houio nldo conferred with Chairman Payno. In addition, tho house con ferees met to have tho expert of the sonata finance committee explain the senate changes In the cotton schedule. Wndnesdsp, July 21. Washington, July 21. Hotter pro gress was msdo today by Uio tariff conferees Uian on any other day since tho troublesome disputes wero reached. Many (motions wero settled without any renewal of hostilities. Tho entire zinc schedule was adjust ed. Spelter was mado dutiable at I cents per iound, which is a reduction from the senste rata of IK cents and an Incrsase from tho house rate of 1 cent. All the sonata differentials wero adopted. Zinc In sheets will be duti able at 1 j cents, and sheet coated or plated with nickel or other metal at 2 cents. Tho houso rata at 1 cent for old and worn-out zinc fit only to be re- manufactured was adopted. Tungsten oro, which Is used in the manufacture of ferro alio), ono of the chief com ponent parts In tho manufacture of low steel and steel parts of automobiles, was mado dutisblo at 10 per cent ad valorem instead of 1G per cent, as fixed by the senate. Lemons will pay a duty of IK cents a pound, the senato rata. This is an Increase of t4 cent over tho houso rata, and half a cent over the Dlngley rates. Tuesday, duly 20. Washington, July 20. Wood pulp, print pacr and lumber, to say nothing of hides, iron oro and other so-called raw material, are receiving the most serious attention from tho conferees. Tho paper and pulp fight bids fair to bo especially stubborn and probably will bo somewhat prolonged. Much progress has been made on the cotton schedule, but hosiery and a number of other leading Item of cot ton manufacture are csusing the tariff arbitrator much concern. Tho draw back provision is practically tho only Important administrative feature that remain unsettled. Although tho rates of duly havo been fixed on practically all of the steel product', thero ha been a pro test ngslnat the increiaod rate on structural steel punched for use. It was thought that a compromise on lead and It product was in rlow, but this schedule a'so has proved difficult of adjustment Tho dutlos on zinc in block and pigs, which wero Increased by tho senato over tho houso rates, la another matter which Is delaying tho settlement of thu motsls schedule ' Monday, duty 10 Washington, July 19. Today tho conferees devoted their attention main ly to the roviscd corporation tax pro vision, which was adopted. An effort was mado today to dlsposo of tho wood pulp and print paper sched ule. Tho retaliatory provision con cerning pu)p was rewritten, and it is now believed that it will prove satis factory to American mills. Tho print paper schedule Is still in controversy. Tho only controversy expected on tho cotton schedule rotates to hosiery. Representative Payne stands firmly for higher duties and tho other houso con forucH ore likely to sustain him. Saturday, duty 17. ' Woshlngton, July it The tariff confercos today settled tho question of giving tho secretary of the troasury authority to Issuo G0-ypar 3 per cent bonds to cover tho entire cost of tho Panama canal.

There la no doubt that n 1 per cent tax on the not earnings of corporations will bo accepted. Practically tho only subject consid ered during tho forenoon session of tho conferenco wa tho woolen schedule.
