CHICAGO, July 15.-Denials that there
had been any calling of bank loans tended
to give wheat steady tone today. In de-
cided contrast with the previous session,
trade was not large. Most Of the outside
news had bearish cast. and led to some
selling on every advance. Ideal weather
northwest and heavy receipts here formed
the principal influence against the bulls.
The opening was 4aas lower to Is up
September started at s75s to sS, the same
as last night; fell back to S7as. and rallied
to S7M.
Assertions that the damage to the Kan
sas crop appeared to be largely theoret-
ical took the edge off the corn market
Absence of any moisture worth mention
however, made prices at first rather stiff
September opened 1saA to asa1s higher at
6114 to 671e. A decline to 669s followed.
Plentiful offerings of new oats had a
weakening effect upon that cereal. Be-
sides. country cash concerns were
leading sellers of futures September
started a shade off to * advance at Ala
AIS to AN, and sagged to 46k.
Firn1ess of hogs helped sustain provi-
sions. Initial sales were 21a lower to a
shade higher, with September delivery
S31s for lard and e.45 to S.47h for ribs
There was little business in pork.

SUGGESTS LABOR
FROM MEXICO

That Mexicans would make a good
class of field laborers for the planta'
tions of Hawaii is the expressed opin.
ion of w. S. Russell of Los Angeles,
who is in Honolulu for the purpose
of submitting a bid for the constrlc-
ton of the superstructure for the HiIo
breakwater. Mr.. Russell is a cOntrac-
tor of wide experience on the Pacific
coast, and it is his experienc"
with MeXlcans as laborers on larse
public works that leads him to be-
lieve they would be desirable class
here.
1--WE employ MeXicans exclusively,
said Mr.. Russell, "and do so for the
reason that we have found them to
be more reliable than any other Ha-
tionality which has come our way.
If the Mexican laborer can have lit,
tie place he can call home, where he
can have his family with him, he is
perfectly contented, and what is more
to the point, he will work.
Conditions here seem to me to be
such that would appeal to a Mexican
and | should think you would have
no trouble in getting a good number
to come here. AS nearly as l have
been able to judge, the labor problem
is shortly to be a serious one tol
Hawaii, but | see no reason why Mex
leo should not be called upon to hell
supply the deficiency"
