"There were further reiterations of lib.
era supplies of wheat In the Uiportlng
nations of the old world yesterday. While
there was no great, bin price lost at
Mvcrpool. the feeling; there was weak at
the declines established.
Whether Liverpool ami continental spec
ulators were holders of wheat futures or
not. they were sellers in this market of
liberal quantities of September and De-emb-r
wheat. Hedging sales of con
siderable else were in evidence not only
In this market, but In the northwest as
a 11 ""'d tl,at '"''ago will be
oil i tod to take care of a large part of the
spring wheat crop thl year and that this
pressure, will lower prices still further.
Resolution wore paired at the meet
ing In Washington of the foreign ex
change brokers an well as exporters of
gram, which was called bv Secretary Mo-
ana wnicn. was attended bv Secre
tary of Agriculture Houston. Secretary of
Commerce Redfield, members of the fed
eral reserve boartl and business men of
the entire country. It Is said by the
wheat traders at Chicago as by millers of
this city and those of other points of the
country that a way will be devised
whereby shipments may be made
The ousider was not In evidence in the
wheat market at Chicago yesterday. This
has been the case for several previous
das. and there was little, in the trade
outside of -hedging' transactions against
the actual wheat that was noticeable,
ijnless a way is opened for the clearing
or the wheat already sold to foreign
countries there Is likely to be a general
unloading by exporters before another
fortnight rolls n round. These sales will
probably mean lower prices.
Further recessions were sustn'.ned by
corn futures yesterday. More ralu in the
belt, taking in sections of Missouri and
that territory east of the Mississippi
river, had the effect of dislodging some
of the long, holdings and selling was fur
ther encouraged by the continued weak
ness In wheat.
Persistent rumors that oats were being
exported from the seaboard offset to a
certain extent the weakness in other pits,
and price declines here were not as se
vere as in wheat and corn. Trading in
oats was active.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading; lid Closing;
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO. Aug. 15. Disappointment
that no immediate relief for ocean ship
liers could be obtained through tho Wash
ington conference about exports had a
seriously unsetling effect today on the
whoat trade. Despite a somewhat Im
proved feeling at the closo of bUHlncus,
prices were 2So to 2Vc under last night's
level. The outcome in corn was a net
decline of Uo to lo and for oats a loss
of So to Ho. Provisions finished irregu
lar varying from 16c to a rise of 2Hc
Within an hour after trading began,
wheat hud suffered a break of 2o to 3o
and - at no subsequent time was there
any big reaction. Many owners who had
held on tenaciously In the hope that the
consultation of exporters with Secretary
McAdoo might quickly bring about an
end of the virtual embargo were forced
to let go today on a market, which tem
porily seemed to have no support. Be
sides, IJverpool reported that there was
no extreme scarcity in Great Britain
an dlt was explained that English cruis
ers were bringing in loaded vessels, which
had been Intended for continent.
Reports that the Argentine government
had received authority to prohibit ex
ports of wheat and flour made shorts
in wheat here rather nervous toward the
end of the session. Advices that l.OuO.ouO
bushels of whoat were being put aboard
steamers at Galveston and that the At
lantic paasenger and mail service was
about to be resumed were responsible for
a comparatively steady feeling at close.
Increased country offerings depressed,
rim. but a prospect, but a Argentine
ox ports would be stopped altogether, led
to a decided rally, it was said recent
lalns had greatly Improved the crop out
look. Oats showed signs of being consider
ably over-bought.
Provialons weakened on account of
larger receipts of hogs. Sensational de
clines at Liverpool counted also In bring-
lug about a lower average of prices here.

Feeders of all kinds were In firm de

available, trade was of very limited pro

remember when so few feeding sheep and
lambs changed hands at this time of the
year, and while the inquiry Is strong and
active, prices are the highest In the his
tory of the trade. Commission men have
stacks of orders to fill, and many country

DANISH CROWN PRINCE
NOW CADET CN ABSALOM
COPENHAGEN. Aug. r..-In his ambi
tion to become a sailor, the 16-ycar-old
crown prince has at last won his Way
and obtained his father's consent. He
lit now a cadet on the "Absalon." and
gels precisely the same treatment as aiy
other cadets. The king had wanted the
prince to continue his studies until he
had passed the entrance examinations
to the university.
The crown prince Is a very democratic
youth. He has been a member of the
Hoy Scouts for three years and has often
entertained his fellow scouts at the castle
without any social restrictions. What
ever fell to the lot of the ordinary soout,
he experienced.
He speaks EngtlHh fluently and makes
a hobby of American authors- For that
reason he Is very eager to visit America,
which he now hopes to do soon as a
sailor.

American express companies of the
larger slse suffered a reduction of 84.4
per cent of operating Income during the
first nine months of the fiscal yesr
ending June 90. In dollars the reduc

Heavy Losses In abort Hauls.
That Is believed to be the chief reason
why the Adams, American and Globe
show great rertnctlons of their operating;
Income, while the losses of the Western
and Southern companies were not greet
enough, to force the Income account Int?
the minus column, although all suffered
reductions! In comparison with the cor
responding period of the preceding fiscal
year.
The Adams company ran down Its oier
atlng Income from 1172.290 to a deficit of
9."eT,76o. of which $11 .T.I was Incurred
during the month of March, 19'- During
the nine-month period the American felt

deficit of 4V1OT.898, of which was In
curred during March of this year.
An Income from operations of $130.5.13
for the Csnadlan Express company dur
ing that bad nine-month period fell to
33,426, while the Canadian .Northern
suffered a reduction from $H9,4.7j to
HO..
The Oiobe company's operating Income
of tlKtli was wiped out and a deficit of
tM.m took lis place. The Great North

Northern railroad as a branch of Its
transportation system, suffered a teduo

Standing next to the figures of the

those pertaining to the fnlte.d State,
the pride of the late Thomas Collier
Piatt, to whose Influence through lone
stretch of yesrs Is attributed the block
ing of parcel post legislation. That com
pany hid a deficit In operating Income,
for the nine-month period ending with
March. 19H amounting to 880.278. Duv
Ing the nine-month p.tiod ending with

its operating expenses amounted to
$7,873,1(17. or more than Its operating re

with one of It.Itn.OW for the correspond

The Western Kxpress rompany. which
lias a considerable short-haul business,
had Its oiK-ratlng Income of $.17,008 con- '

Nbn of these figures can be used In
the political wrangling In the houso and

thing the Wilson administration dfd or

tho establishment of the parcel post

Hill Will Import
Bulls to Improve
Northwest Stock
LONDON, Aug. lo.-For the purpose of
Improving the breed of cattle In the Pa
cific northwest, some important pur
chases of English cattle have been made
here for James J. 11111. One shipment Is
for fifty dairy shorthorn bulls, which will
be given away to as many counties tn
that section of the country. Each one of
these bulls is born of a cow with a milk ,
record of J0.005 poumla or more the year.
Besides the gift of these blooded ani
mals to the farmers of the northwest, a
herd of ten cows snd a bull of South.
Pevons, the first to be Imported to Amer
ica, wilt.be sent to Hill's Minnesota farm,
as well as two prize winning dulry short
horns to his North Dakota farm.
The purchases were made by Prof.
Thomas Shsw. the well-known expert of
Minnesota. According to Eugene Grubb,
the t'nlted States live stock commissioner,
now In England, this Is the most Im
portant shipment of blooded cattle ever
made to America from England, ana
will mean a great Improvement tn breed
In the northwest, both for milk and beef
purposes.
