PRICE is NOT FIXED
HEAD OF CHICAGO BOARD APP
PEARS AT PPIcE INQUIRY.
C. n. Candy Tells United States In
vestigators There Is No Danger
of Wheat Shortage.

New York, Feb. 25.-At the re-
sumption of the attorney generals in
vestigation of the increased cost of
wheat bread and -four, C. H. Candy.
president of the Chicago board of
trade, the first of several witnesses
of national reputation on the subject
under inquiry, gave his views on price
advances.
Mr.. Candy denied speculation was
responsible for the high price Of
wheat. He asserted that the law of
supply and demand has caused a
steady rise in the price of grain and
that the present quotations are in
duced by the European demand.
Mr.. Candy said that the United
States still has $4,000, 900 bushels to
export.
There is no shortage and no dan
ger of one" he continued.
THE rate of expectation has slowed
down and indications are for contin-
ued diminution until the new crop
freights-practically double what they
were at the outset of the warts one
cause for this lessening of the out
ward tide. That has discouraged ex
ports and has resulted in a gradual
lowering of prices. There will be less
buying for future delivery from now
on"
Mr. Candy announced himself as
opposed to an embargo on the expor
tation of wheat.
THAT would be tampering with the
laws of supply and demand" he said
The farmer is really selling wheat
for less than it is worth, in a world
sense, at the present time. Just thinl
what Germany would pay for 100000,
600 bushels if she could get it,"

A Mind With Nc sidetraeks,

Why is it that the administration
will persist in following certain ideas
when every available scrap of infor-
nation as to them indicates that they
are wrongly conceived? The official
attitude towards Mexico has been a
mistaken one from the beginning.
The c~otton-loan pool was opposed by
hard-headed bankers whose business
it is to know economic conditions;
the ship-purchase bill is opposed by
business interests the country over.
The fact that the cotton-loan plan
would help the administration out OF
a difficult political situation was not
a sound reason for forcing that plan
on the bankers.-Buffalo Express.

repentance from Rev. E. R. Pow

here was made public Friday in a re-

church, following a vote Sc to 4 by
members to retain Powell. Powell

the advisory committee that he would
remain as pastor despite the difficult
position in which he was placed" In
his note to the church. Powell said:

They (Wilson and Bryan take the
view that when we are asked to redeem

our obligations and to preserve ignoble
peace for ourselves by regarding with
cold-blooded and timid indifference the
most frightful ravages of war commit
ted at the expense of a peaceful and
unoffending country. This is the cult
of cowardice. That President Wilson
