Issue in This Country In

To Yanks for Market.
By HOLLAND.
Sir William Van Home possessed
detailed information respecting Cana
da and Cuba 'surpassing that wlikh
tmy other man was able to secure.
While staying for a few days in New
York before taking what proved to
be his last trip to Cuba, Mr v imam
spoke of the unsuspected agricultural
resources of the far northwestern
provinces of Canada. He also re-!
f erred to the fact that while Cuba is
an independent nation, nevertheless
she is rapidly becoming economical-
ly and commercially almost an in-
teerral nart of the United States.
Sir William was able to speak by!A disposition-head.

paring at the time of his death, for
the cultivation of sugar cane and the
manufacture of sugar for the markets
.upon a much large scale than there-
tofore sugar cultivation has been car
ried on m Cuba.
Predicts lllg Wheut Crop.
When referring to the Canadian north
west, Sir WUllnm said that the day was
not distant when the virgin soil of the
province of Saskatchewan would be yield-
) 5 lng millions of bushels of very r.tgn
MTKrade wheat and that ultimately this
wheat cultivation would match In the
amount and quality produced any one of
the great wheat belts of the United
States. On the other hand he thought
there should be reciprocal relations be
tween the United States and Cuba of a
kind which would stimulate Increased
' i ugar cane growing and sugar manufac
ture in Cuba while at the same time not
seriously interfering with the cultivation
of sugar oane in a comparatively small
area in the United State-).
It Is a somewhat strange coincidence
that at this time the great wheat grow
ing province of the Cunadlan northwest
and Cuba's relation to the United States
as it will fee affected by the new tariff
law should be brought conspicuously into
notice. Cuba earnestly protests against
the proposed tax upon Imports of Cuban
sugar into the United States. The appre
hension Is. great that If a tax of this kind
hi levied Cuba will be seriously affected.
Not only that, , but she will be unable to
buy American products of which In recent
years she has almost exclusively bought
in the United . states.
Asking $3,000,DCO.
The wheat growing province of north
western Canada is now seeking a market
In the United States for 13,000,000 In
bonds. These bonds are to be payable in
gold and tire to bear 6 per cent interest.
The province did not go to London seeking
to market this loan. It has followed the
example of other Canadian provinces In
coming directly to the United States.
When Sir William Van Home was
there Immigration was just beginning.
Now some 16 years later the province
has fully justified hie prediction. In six
years It harvested considerably more
thP'i a $1,600,000,000 bushels of wheat
and that too upon only one-third of the
land c-i the province which is as well
suited' to wheat cultivation as any land in
the world.'. When England's man of sci
ence. Dr. Crooks, predicted in 1895 or
189li that within 20 years there Would be
a world shortage of wheat because the
wheut belts were then almost fully oc
cupied while population was rapidly In
creasing,' he apparently had no knowledge
of this empire-like province- in far north
western Canada. He would have modl
filled his statement had he . knows that
Beginning with 1911 the province would
be harvesting considerably more than 200,
000.000 bushels of wheat each year and
that the total value of all the -crop there
harvested in 1919 would bo 8:100,000,000.
Cuba May Meek Loon.
Cuba may be seeking by and by a loan
In the United . States perhaps 10 times
greater than the amount, of the bonds the
Canadian province now offers for sale in
the United States. If Tuba obtains the
loan and if the tariff be so written as not
to Impair the sugar industry m Cuba that
Itttle republic, will compare favorably
In its relatione with the United States
with the vast Dominion of Canada which
stretches from our northern boundary to
the arctic. Cuba bought and imported
commodities purchased in the United
States in 1920 of approximately 1000,000,
000 in value.
On the other hand our trade Import
and extiort with Canada for seven months
..... , .,i,1A ...riir sr. sne one nnn.
But when it is remembered that Cuba is.
in comparison with Canada a republic of
trifling area, then it would he fair to
say that Cuba's trade with the United
States is, relatively speaking, as great
s the trade of Canada.
New Relation of Canada.
Carada ia assuming something like the
relation of Cuba to the United States.
The dominion and tho provinces have
placed almost all their loans in this
country since the war began. This un
doubtedly is partly due to ttie fact that
the London market has not been favorably
disposed towards the floating of loans.
But It la not loans solely that reflect
the new relation. Almost all of the com
modltlos imported into Canada for the
year which ended on June SO were
bouKht tn the United States. Of course
that in part is explained by the fact that

Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Oinahe He lhel Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 19. Wheat was er
ratic throughout the session and a
good advance recorded after midday
was mostly eliminated near the close.
Trade was broader, all bulges meet
ing with selling by strong commis
sion concerns. Buying was led by
local shorts satisfied . with profits,
their activity being confined to De
cember, while eastern interests picked
up a good part of the September of
ferings. Exporters were keen after
the wheat and the seaboard reported
sales of 1,200,000 bushels in all po
sitions and there were 250,000 bush
els corn. reported worked in addition.
Final prices on wheat ruled J4j4c
higher; corn c lower for Septem
ber and up for December, former
beieng under constant pressure. Oats
were 'AViC higher and rye llc
lower.
Shortly after the opening, prices
dipped to new low points on the
present downturn, but the decline
was of minor importance and sup
plemented by 'a rally a leading ele
vator interest was ithe principal sell
er, while support from commission
houses appeared to show betterment
on the dip. Local shorts were in
clined to accept profit and await a
substantial rally before again com
mitting themselves to the selling side.
While offerings increased on the
bulge, they were not of the magni
tude of former days.
Corn Hits Low Murk.
Corn prices set new low record for the
season. The December delivery was not
as weak as the nearby month and worked
to a premium of 1 cent over the Sep
tember, against a discount of ly.c two
days ago. Liquidation and stop loss sell
ing affected the latter, while a good
demand from commission houses helped
the farmer. Receipts were again large,
the estimate being placed at 110 cars.
The Interior continues to sell corn to
arrive with freedom and one concern re
ported purchases amounting to 200,000
bushels over night. -
Oats met with fairly good commission
house and local demand in the way of
short covering and prices averaged high
er up- to mid-session. The start was
easy, due to scattered liquidation In a
small way. and hedging pressure, bftt
shorts took profits on the dips and with
the better tone noted In wheat, buying by
recent sellers Increased.
Cash rye closed unchanged; No. 2 sold
at S1.02H : No. 3, $1.00, and No. 4 at 95
97c. Receipts, 17 cars.
Pit Notes.
Shipping Interests were better buvers
of oats than for some time and this had
considerable effect in firming the Sep
tember. Commission houses also were
buyers and the difference between Sep
tember and December narrowing a little.
Country offerings of oats were smaller.
Late reports from the seaboard put
export sales at 1,200,000 bushels wheat
and 250,000 bushels corn.
After the opening In wheat, there was
another llttlo wave of liquidation of long
wheat and the quirk decline showed how
sensitive the market was to selling of
this kind. Local pit observers were of
the opinion the most urgent liquidation
was over, but - they also emphasized the
lack of outside trade. . Most of. the buy
ing hat been to cover shorts, and the
public appears to have little confidence
on the buying side. The cash wheat' Is
strong, but buying orders are not coming
in as a result of this any more than pre
viously. Winter wheat receipts are keep
ing at a hrav? rate longer tnan expecteo.
and with tho liberal arrivals at spring
wheat points the primary movement is
still heavy. Shorts have covered tremen
dous lines of both corn and oats, but
prices are still dragging around the low
points of the crop and the lowest In
more than 12 years.
"New York advices are that 80,000.000
to 85,000,000 bushels of wheat have been
sold for export since movement or new
crop began." said J. ,F. Jackson "That
was. around July 16. On that date Sep
tember wheat was $1.31 and Ptcember
$1.31. Why did not prices advanee, and
will they decline on the sale of 80,000,000
more?"
Australian cables report a temporary
scarcity in freight room. In West Aus
tralia It nas been oeciaea ;o nave
wheat pool. In New South Waies the
government favors pooling on condition
the government controls, but farmers de
sire the control to be with the growers.
Minneapolis onta stocks snowed an m
,.,.,, nt i son ooo hushela for the week.
Wlieat increased 73,000 bushels lor the
week. ' . ,
Countv offerings of corn were liberal,
according to receivers, with nothing lo
indicate any let up In the movement.
On the other hand, offerings of Wheat
and oats were extremely light l;i the
majority of Instances. However, cash
houses, led by Armour, were fair sellers
of wheat at the opening.

New York, Aug. 19. The cotton market
opened steady at an advance of 1 3
points. This was a surprise to the trad
ers, in view of the tact that the cab les
from Liverpool were poor. The stability
was attributed chiefly to reports on con
tinued high temperatures in the south
west, especially in Texas. There was
Liverpool buying, while New Orleans and
k.u... ,ith anuth Atlantic connections
ksold. The list continued steaay aner
the start ana soon was 10 1 yumi-

In the afternoon the market was quiet

Chicago Trlbuue-Ouiaha Bee Leased Wire,
New York, Aug. 19. Notwith
standing an. easier money market,
with stock exchange demand loans
going at 51-2 per cent all day for
almost the first time in August, in
dustrial -shares declined again and
closed with little recovery.
It is possible , that the present
week's downward trend of money
rates is a forecast of conditions which
are to prevail throughout the au
tumn. The recent reduction of re
discount rates by all the larger re
serve banks, to the lowest level since
the beginning of 1920, indicated ex
pectation of a much easier general
money market and such a result
would be logical, in view of the high
bank reserves and the great curtail
ment of trade demands on credit. A
6 per cent private discount rate, with
the federal reserve rediscounting at
5 1-2, was itself anomalous. Just
what effect would be produced on
the markets by even a very low
money rate in the autumn is debat
able. Declines Numerous.
One-fourth of the business done on the
stork exchange today was In four or five
industrial stocks, plain enough evidence
of partly profesHlonal speculation.
Under thi. pressure there were numer
ous declines of 1 to 3 points. Railway
shares were again relatively steady.
No Important changes occurred in the
day's foreign exchange market. In gen
eral the rates declined slightly, then re
gained the loss. Tho rate on Berlin ad
vanced again without any now develop
ment to account for it unless it might be
the arrival of 12,000,000 gold marks in
coin consigned to bankers who were pre
sumably acting as agents for the govern
ment, to whom the reparations pay
ments are being made.
The purport of the week-end mercantile
reviews 1. not discouraging, but neither la
it ' especially stimulating. It 1. evident
enough that the business situation is
growing no worse. On one point there
seems to be agreement where goods are
moved in satisfactory volume to consu
mers it Is at low prices.

Hradstreet's Trade Review.
New York, Aug. 19. BraUstreet's tomor
row will pay:1
"Tne moderate gain noted last week lit
wholesale and jobbing trade In wearing
apparel lines for tail has been fuily sus
tained and there seemed to bo a further
accentuation of the optimistic feeling. In
some lines, notably silk goods, shoes,
canned goods, raw wool, and iron and
steel, theinovement has progressed beyond
the point of mere feeling and ha. found
expression in larger sales at higher prices,
rotables in thfs respect being pig iron,
scrap material and canned and dried foods.
In no case has the expansion assumed big
proportions and. there is no evidence of
any reduction in the caution with which
purchases' are being made. In fact; the
phrase ' 'immediate needs' is more fre
quently met with than any other word
descriptive of the' volume of buying.
"However, the advance of the reason,
the rather better tone of crop advices, the
fear or the absolute knowledge of small
stocks held in distributors' hands and the
loosening up ot credit consequent upon the
less tense condition ot the money market,
all make tor a rather more confident tone
in purchasing.

New York Coffee.
New York, Aug. 19. Report, reaching
the coffee trade from London to the ef
fect that the consignment of 1,000,000 bags
of coffee to Havre by the Brazilian gov

seemed largely responsible for the steadier
tone of futures here today. The official
cables from Brazil were considered about
a standoff, bit after opening unchanged
to 2 points higher, the local market sold
7 to 8 points above last night's closing
figures, with December touching $7.11 or
14 points above yesterday's low level, on
a little trade buying and covering. The
