PERMITS EXTENSION
OF $I,000,000 NOTES
Court Allows Claflin Receivers
to Agree with Banks Con-
corning McCreery Paper.

On petition Of the receivers for the
II. B. Clafin Company, Judge Grub,
i'm the federal District Court, yesterday
signed an order permitting the receiy-
ers 10 enter into an agreement with
certain banks and trust companies of
Pittsburgh, whereby notes for 81 ,O00,-
600 against the McCreery Company Of
Pittsburgh maturing July 20 are ex-
tended until July /, 1915. 1t is stipu-
lated that the Clafin Company is to
waive its claims against the McCreery
Company until the notes have been
paid
Prior TO 1909 these notes were in
dorsed by the II. B. Clafin Company.
That year an agreement was made
whereby the personal guaranty Of John
Clafin was substituted for the in
dorsement of the II. B. Claiin Com
pany. The extension of time in favor
Of the Pittsburgh store does not affect
the priority Of the payment to the
banks and trust companies. The claims
are as follows:
Bank of Pittsburgh, 100000; Peo-
ple's National Bank, Sl25,000; Monon-
eahela National Bank, 100000; Real
Estate Trust Company, 100000; Union
Trust Company of Pittsburgh, $780,
OOO; Pittsburgh Trust Company, $780,
600.
In addition 10 the indebtedness OF
the McCreery Company of Pittsburgh
10 these banks, it owes the Mercantile
Trust Company of ST. Louis 100000
and $500 900 TO individuals on notes in
dcrsed by the II. B. Clafiin Company.
The general committee of Clafin
creditors was in session two
hours yesterday afternoon discussing
MIR, Clafin's plans for reorganization
and adjourned until tomorrow after
noon without reaching any decision.
Members Of the noteholders' commit
tee who were unable TO be present yes
terday are expected to attend the meet
ing. -..
from among those on the creditors
committee who were at first opposed
10 II. and the most important difference
now rests upon Mr.. Clafin's insistence
That the recognized retail stores con-
tinue to be appendages Of the reor-
ganized jobbing house.
Members OF the committee say that
this would not work as well as plan
which would leave the retail stores
clear Of the jobbing house and free to
buv wherever they wish. They arc
sIso inclined to think that the lobbing
house would be In a better position TO
attract Independent business II this
were the case.

PRICE MOVEMENT
in COMMODITIES
Grain Prices All Tending
Upward-Spot Coffee
Active and Higher.

There we're some sharp price changes
in the wheat market yesterday Dut
while the market was nervous and ex-
cited tho general trend OF prices was
upward, and the close showed gains
for the day Of 17sM3hc net. The Rccu-
mutation Of wheat is becoming burden
some, and the holding up Of the British
governments plan to assume war risks
complicated the situation and made IL
impossible TO sell exchange. The trade
however, seems convinced that condl-
tions in Europe have become so serious
that large importations OF American
wheat will be required and that some
means will be provided for safeguard
ing shipments. This idea was the basis
for considerable Of the buying, espe-
cially Of the September option. A hrm
cash position and fears of low condl-
ton report tomorrow were mainly re-
sponsible for an active market In corn
at net final gains of 10 &c. Oats gained
2hM2%c net, principally on the beiiet
that there would be an active foreign
demand. Rye and barley held firm,
with slight gains. WA,
The coffee situation is peculiar. Wlth
the exchange closed and dealings IN
futures necessarily stopped, the spot
market is active, and there was well
developed scare among consumers re-
garding supplies. A number of holders
of SPOT who had sold hedges against
their holdings were anxious to undo
their hedges yesterday so that they
might dispose of their spot stun, and
there was a gathering on the curD III
Front street, where fairly active
evening-up business was done, although
new business was discouraged. The last
sales of spot were on the basis OF gao
for Rio rs and lac for Santos Is.
