With Other Grains, Declines in
Chicago-Provisions Irregular

Chicago, Sept. 1..Reports that farm,
ers were showing a disposition to sell
more freely than has recently been the
case had considerable to do to-day with
a downturn in the price of wheat. The
market closed unsettled, % to lac
under last night. Corn showed net
decline of - to Hc and oats of a to
sc. In provisions the outcome varied
from a drop of soc to Inc advance.
Indiana and Ohio millers were referred
to as vouching for assertions OF an ap-
parent change in the attitude OF farm
ers. who of late had been represented
as almost unanimous in holding wheat
back for higher prices because of the
war. Country offerings to Chicago
houses were also reported as having
increased, and Kansas City was said to
have loaded $4,000 bushels for ship
ment here, the Kansas City market
being on a full shipping basis Prohr
taking by spectators, who believed that
&c advance in the last few weeks was
enough for the present, formed a drag
on wheat throughout the day, although
fresh buying led at one time to a de-

Germs purchased q good dee. Of wheat

and Credits at Confer
ence in Washington.

Complying with the request OF Sec
rotary McAdoo that the bankers in
vited to meet with the Federal Re-
serve Board in Washington Friday
bring with them full and complete
data relative TO the amount of our
foreign obligations abroad, a commit
tee consisting of Albert H. Wiggin,
chairman of the Clearing House COM

Chamber of Commerce, and Henry R.
Towne, director of the New York Fed
eral Reserve bank, has addressed a
letter to the New York banks which
abroad, asking them to furnish the
committee with record of their for
eign debts and credits.
The New York banks will be repre-
scented at the conference by Mr.. Wig
Gin and Benjamin Strong, jr., presi-
dent o. the Bankers Trust Company,
who is also a member of the Clearing
House committee. The letter to the
New York banks points out that "the
business difficulty of greatest concern
at the present results from the cha
otic condition of our international
trade and banking arrangements. A
method of handling the matter must
be found for the sake of our national
reputation and of our honor and
credit"
The Federal Reserve Board" the
letter adds, lowing to the authority
vested in it, is the organization best
able 10 cope with the difficulty con-
fronting our business interests. In
order that real progress may be made
in working out this tremendous prob
lem, it is absolutely necessary that
the total figures as to the cash indebt-
edness to Europe and maturing obli-
cations in dollars or foreign exchange
be assembled"
Accompanying the letter is a form
in which the following particulars are
requested: Credit balances due to Can
ada, Great Britain, Germany, France,
and other countries; amount of time
drafts issued and outstanding due
to Great Britain, Germany, France,
etc, amount of acceptance for our ac-
count under Commercial and clean
! credits guaranteed" exclusive of items
covered above; amount of commercial
/ credits still unused and likely to be
/ availed of, amount of travellers cred
/ its still unused and likely to be
avaied of. amount loaned here for &C
count of European clients, amount of
exchange you are obligated to deliver,
not covered by above.
( Additional information is requested
from banking houses that have placed
corporate obligations abroad, maturing
up to January /, 1915, as follows: Cor
porate obligations placed but not guar
anteed, bankers to state whether the
obligations are securities or dividends
| or coupons and whether they are due
/ in September, October, November or
later; debit balances due from Can
ada, Great Britain, Germany, Franc
and other countries.

COTTON OFFERED
AT LOW PRICES
Bearish Crop Reports Affect
Mill Buying-Heavy Foreign
Demand Expected.

The special committees of the Liver
nool, New Orleans and New York Cot
TON exchanges were in session again
Yesterday, but adjourned late IN the
afternoon without announcing any
definite action. ,Jz
Reports received from the drygoods
trade suggested that the bearish crop
renort from Washington had created
evnectations of still lower prices
among buyers of yarns and cloths.
This attitude may confirm domestic
mills in their present policy OF ouylhs
only for immediate needs until Spot
values have been thoroughly tested by
the advance of the picking and market
inc season. Nearly all advices from
the South indicate great activity IN
building new warehouses and the Gre
atom of such warehouse certlhcates as
would he accer able to the Treasury
Denartment as collateral in the matter
of emergency funds. At the same time
nearly every day brings reports OF de-
clining prices. According TO reports

Now England mills at 7Rc, landed.
Some low prices are also heard OF III

that territory, had notified the trade
that il would be in the market this
autumn.
