ADDRESS TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE
MarroQuin Says Colombian People
Have Been Victims of an I'M.
expected Aggression.
WAS A MILITARY MOVEMENT.
Proclamation Of Panama's lndepen.
dence Was Not Result of Popular
Sentiment.

Bogota, Colombia, Nov. 2l.-President
MarroquIn has made the following
statement to the Associated Press, In
response to questions as to the politi-
cal situation IN Colomba
United States Minister Beaupre and
all Americans here are surrounded with
every guarantee for their safety. My
communications to the United States
senate and to the people OF the United
States make manifest the attitude of
my government on the Panama ques-
ton. The situation in the interior OF
the Colombian republic is quiet
President Marroquins reference to
his communication to the people of the
United States is explained by the fol-
lowing address which he has given the
correspondent of the Associated Press
MARRoQuIN's ADDRESS.
"The president of Colombia, to the
American people;
"The Colombian nation has been the
victim of unexpected aggression and Ii
in danger of losing the best part of it's
territory. A military movement, not
popular sentiment, was the origin of
the proclamation of the independence
Of Panama.
THE American government which
always has been held by Colombia To
be its best friend and ally, prevented
with marines, loyal militia from sub
jugating the traitors and chacklng the
origin Of the INSTRUMENTATION.
HhA agIA tsy a. -.
ba and the United States, alluded to
until the last moment by the American
government, binds the United States
not only TO respect the sovereignty and
ownership of the Panama isthmlR by
Colombia, but to help the latter main
tain them. The proceedings OF the
United states marines on the isthmus
and the American minister here are In
open violation of that treaty
1.-THE isthmus OF Panama, the most
coveted part of the globe and the most
precious part Of our fatherland, always
has been respected by the nations as
sacred trust conhded by Colombia
TO the honor and power of the Ameri-
can people.
"The traditions of that great nation.
the United States, as mighty defend
er of rights and bearer of the stand
ard of civilization before the world,
always have been opposed to the ces-
sion of territories and the dsmember-
ing of nations, Nom recognition of the
confederate states during the civil war
confirms emphatlcally the application
of this doctrine deoisively at critical
moments
The American people win not per.

OATS CLOSE A CENT UP
SCARCITY OF CONTRACT STOCKS
CAUSE A SHARP ADVANCE.
Wheat Ii Easier, Closing at a Loss,
with Corn Steady and Jnchanged-
Provisions a Little Higher.

CHICAGO. June 12.-There was only a
moderate trade in wheat to-day. and the
tendency was toward lower prices. July
closing hQssc lower. Corn was unchanged.
but oats were lie higher. Provisions were
from shade to 10c higher.
The general impression among wheat
traders was TO the effect that the crop
would be heavy, in spite of the seemingly
unfavorable weather, and this had a de-
pressing influence OH prices, which ruled
easier the entire day. Large Argentine
shipments, liberal receipts and disappoint-
ing cables caused an easier tone at the
start, and July was shade TO 1sQAc lower
at l5l9q75asc, and with considerable liquida-
ton by local longs the market continued
on the down grade the early part of the
session, July declining to 75Ac. Later a
fair demand developed on the bullish char
acter of the Modern Miller's crop report,
and the maj Net became firmer, with part of
the loss regained. The report of the first
new wheat being received at Nashville was
somewhat of factor late in the day. Clos
ing prices were steady, with July AWSsc
lower, at 75ssc. Clearances of wheat and
Hour We're equal TO 222. 600 bu. Primary re-
celptS were 3O2, 500 bu, against 1921 ,2O0 a year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
ceipts of PSI cars, which, with local receipts
OF ~ cars-none of contract grade-made
total OF sol cars, against 305 last week and
2io a year ago.
Improved weather and the weakness in
wheat caused easier tone in corn the
first part OF the day, but a good demand
from commission houses and local traders
tended to uphold prices. In spite of better
weather good many unfavorable crop
advices came in and stimulated buying.
Trading on the whole was rather light.
The close was steady with July unchanged
at 4S12c after selling between 4SAf4S+c
and 4Sssc Receipts were 42T cars, Il OF con-
tract grade.
Oats for July delivery again exhibited
decidedly bullish tendency as the result of
urgent covering by shorts, inspired by the
scarcity of cash supplies and the shipping
demand from the East where stocks are
reported very low. The early market was
easier IN sympathy with the weakness in
wheat, but prices quickly advanced under
good demand and ruled strong for the
nearby delivery while other months were
steady. After selling between 36%M3Sc
July closed 1c higher at CSC. Receipts were
l62 cars.
Trading in provisions was small, but the
market was firm the late strength in the
hog market being responsible for the bet
ter feeling. Packers were good buyers of
lard and ribs and local traders were in
clined TO the buying side. Selling was scat
tered. with offerings small. September pork
closed loo higher at 1850; lard a shade
higher at $SS7la, and ribs q shade up at
s9.Hz.
Estimated receipts for to-morrow-Wheat,
70 cars; corn, $40; oats, LIS; hogs, 1900
