chairman Of the New York produce ex-
change committee appointed to formu-
late rules governing the purchase and
sale Of grain and feed in carload lots for
future shipment. has forwarded to all
throughout the country the rules sug-
gested by the committee. Members of
the New York grain trade greatly feel
the need of adequate regulations stating
definitely the capacity of a car. 1t is
claimed that almost invariably when
the market declines the western ship
pers Will secure one of the modern large
ears and thus make a heavy carload
shipment at the reduced price; whereas.
if the market advances, they take equal
pains to secure a small car. The rules
suggested by the committee are in part
as follows:
THE term immediate shipment shall
mean that shipment shall be made
within three business days from the
date when shipping directions have been
received by the seller. The term quick
shipment shall mean that shipment
shall be made within five business days
from the date when shipping inStruc-
lions have been received by the seller.
THE term prompt shipment shall
mean that shipment shall be made with
in ten days exclusive of Sundays from
the date when shipping directions have
been received by the seller. It shall be
understood where no specification OF
shipment is named in contract, prompt
shipment shall apply.
In all sales Of grain and feeds by
carloads for future delivery a carload OF
oats shall be deemed to contain 1900
bushels: of corn, 500 bushels; of wheat,
500 bushels: Of rye, 500 bushels; of bar
1000 pounds: Of mill feeds in bulk, 3d.

DIsTRUsT OF GERMANY.
Belief That She Doesn't Want Peace
In China is Growing.

New York, Oct 19-Distrust of Ger
mans attitude in China has been re-
viVed as a result of information received
here showing the hostility of the Berlin
government to a policy of Cancellation
in the settlement Of the far eastern ques-
ton, says a Washington correspondent
Of the Herald. 1t has been learned that
the recall OF Baron Speck Won Sternberg,
the German charge d'afaires, was due
to his efforts to smooth the road look
ing to prompt, peaceful solution of
the Chinese trouble. Baron Won Stern
berg returned to Berlin on the steamer
Deutschland.
Among the friends of Baron Won
SteFnberg in the official circles here deep
surprise was felt when the news of his
removal from Washington was first
noised about. His relations with the ad-
ministration We're of the most cordial
character and the officials generally con-
eeded that he was doing much to make
q satisfactory solution in China pos
sible Exact details as to Baron Won
Sternbergis recall are impossible to OBJ
tain, as none OF the officials of the Ger
man embassy will talk about the mat
ter and the state department does not
seem to be fully advised on the sub
Jeet. 1t is known, however, that Baron
Won Sternberg, while endeaV0ring to
carry out the several instructions ne had
received, presented proposals to this gov
eminent in a more concfiatory fashion
than the Berlin authorities had contem-
plated. Being on the ground Baron Won
advisable in the interest of harmonious
relations between both governments for
him to be less positive than his instruc-
tions required.
Officials here are very deeply grieved
over Baron Won Sternbergs recall. as
they say he has certainly aided in pre-
serving good relations between the two
powers. It is pointed out that if he had
acted in an offensive manner the an
sWers made to the German notes would
not have been different from those given.
Undoubtedly Germany was greatly cha
grined by the refusal of the United
States to accede to it's proposition to
make the surrender Of the Chinese guilty
of outrases precedent to negotiations,
fnasmuch as the attitude of this govern
nnent made the rejection of the proposal
certain. It was probably this feeling
that had much to do with Baron Won
Sternberg's recall.
Baron Won Sternberg was fnstru-
mental in allaying much of the suspicion
which existed here regarding the pur-
poses Of Germany in China but his re-
call for the reason understood here in
dicates that the Berlin government
would have preferred developments
which would have delayed an early set
tIement.
An official recently recalled that Baron
Won Sternberg was largely responsible
brogIfo: that his representations were
due to the virtual withdrawal by this
government from any claims to the Car
oline Stands it might have possessed
growing out of the war with Spain, and
generally that he has worked earnestly
for the. improvement of the good rela-
tions between the two countries.
