Efforts of u. S. to Get
Dyestufs Are in Vain

Washington, d. c.. July Efforts
OF the United States government to
secure dyestuffs from Germany for
American manufacturers have reached
deadlock which appears unbreak-
able and officials here to-day expressed
little hope of an arrangement being
made which would give this country
supply of German-made colors.
State Department officials will con-
tinue their negotiations, but it is prac-
tically certain that Germany will not
permit the expectation of dye unless
some arrangement is made which will
give Germany a much needed supply
of American cotton. The German gov
ernment is understood to have taken
the position that unless American cot
ton reaches German ports, no dye will
be released for export

CHICAGO. Aug. ?. - Adverse weather
gave strength to the market at the open
ing today Rain was reported from the
chief grain centres, further interfering
with harvesting and increasing the
chances Of black rust. While selling
prices generally exceeded those of sat-
urday's closing, trading was light and
scattered, buyers not being anxious to
load at the present figures.
Bears we're chaRrined az the generally
fair prices secured for July as It passed

dicted further decreases. Undcterred,
however. they renewed their attacks on
September and December. September
wheat which closed on Saturday at
$LO5N opened today at S1.O51b, but
nervous dndertone was evident.
December opening at s1.O7ik, showed
ssc. gain over Saturday, remaining strong
in the morning.
The market continued strong all after
noon closing with advances of nearly 2
cents above last weeks finals.
a sentiment that the September corn
market was overbought prevailed in some
quarters while other sources declared
this condition exlsts in the December
market, Some were selling September
and buying December, with no profit In
slBnt. July went out cents over sep
tember.
July oats passed out at SOY, the highest
price it had recorded in the season, 1t
advanced i5 cents in 50 days. The esti-
mated oat crop was reported at ] $780,,

a rendjustment made necessary by the
passing of July is now taking place.
Operators are confronted with one of
