Circular #361

To All Members
Gentlemen:

TRADE agreement WITH THE UNITED KINGDOM
'

-

—

Signed November 17, 1938

Raw wool is not included in the Agreement, The
duties on Wool Wastes, Tops, Yarns, and Manufactured
goods are reduced by varying amounts (see schedule
attached),
The duties on most wool manufactures are compound;
the specific portion is intended to compensate for the
duties on raw wool, and the ad valorem portion to pro­
vide protection for domestic manufacturers. The
specific duties on wool manufactures are in general not
changed, but there is a provision that if hereafter the
duties on raw wool are lowered, the specific rates will
be correspondingly reduced.

The most important concession is on woven fabrics
weighing more than four ounces per square yard (total
imports in 1937, $8,750,000; from the United Kingdom,
$7,300,000).
Under the most-favored-nation treatment, con­
cessions by the tmrted states apply to all nations
except Germany.
The Agreement will go into effect on January 1,
1939, for an initial period of three years, and may
continue in force Indefinitely thereafter, subject to
termination by either Government on six months’ notice.

Yours very truly,
H. CLYDE MOORE
President

                <text>Roy B. Minty was a livestock broker out of Casper, WY. His office was located in the lobby of the Henning Hotel. Researchers will find letters and telegrams exchanged between Minty and Draper and Draper Incorporated Wool out of Boston, Massachusetts among other items of potential interest to the sheep and wool industry in Wyoming during the 1930s. Minty's papers consist of correspondence, data on Wyoming sheep ranchers from 1934, correspondence in regard to the Careyhust Ranch from 1937-1939, information on a Wind River Day School lamb sale, as well as ledgerbooks, settlement slips, bills of sale, contracts, agreements, and more. These records date from the late 1920s to the late 1930s.</text>
