NEW YORK, January 10.-The increased

The receipts at the various ports contin-
lie large, and the trading element are in

demand in counteracting this evidence Of
a large crop.
The reduction in acreage which will
surely follow this seasons Improbable
prices will eventually prove of great ben

Of this city holds $4,000 OF South Dakota

ident Fl. W. Cannon of the Chase National
Bank was seen this morning by repre-
sentative of the Associated Press and ques-
toned concerning the matter. President
Cannon said:
THE statement that the Chase National
Bank holds $4,000 OF South Dakota war
fants Is incorrect. The official account of
the state treasurer of South Dakota has for
some time past been kept with this bank
and the state warrants are made payable
here. We have no doubt that the holders of
the warrants are, entirely secure, as they
were properly and legally issued by the
state and signed by the governor and other
officers. and the fact that the treasurer had
holders of the states obligations. Mr.. Tay-
lor had no personal account with this bank
and is not indebted to u.s."

Administration circles have nothing
but ridiculc for the report that Canada
has moro formidable cruisers on the
lakes than is permitted under the treaty.
They say the Canadians have not broken
the treaty Of 1917, that American COM
meroe on the lakes is ten times greater
than the Canadian and that In event of
war we could sweep them from the lakes
in short order This sort of talk on the
part Of administration officials is not al
together assuring. There is no question
but that Canada should be held strictly to
the terms Of treaty respecting war ships
on the great lakes while that treaty
remains in force There Is question,
however, whether it would be wise to
break that treaty for the sake of putting
more war craft on those waters. That
would necessitate rivalry with Canada,
1t would be very expensive and it is ex,
tremely doubtful whether this country
would gain any advantage
