JAPAN's ACTIONS IN CHINA
WORRIES UNCLE SAL
Their New Military Policy May
Threaten Our Open-Door
Policy.

Washington.-Japan's demands on
China for the employment of JAP
anese military advisers in the large
Chinese centers of south Manchuria
and inner Mongolia, and Japanese
military instructors in the Chinese
schools and colleges, are viewed by
officials here as part of new jap
anese policy which may threaten
Americas policies of the open door
and maintenance of Chinese integ.
rity.
For many years the Chinese gov
eminent has employed some Japan
ese military instructors and advisers
in Chinese garrison towns, schools
and colleges, but she also has en-
ployed French, British, German and
a few Americans in the same capa-
city. Always the choice has been
made according to her own judg-
ment.
The new demands restricting such
appointments to Japanese would, Of
ficials believe, negative the most
favored nation" clause in American
and other treaties and virtually con-
vert a large section of Chinese ter
ritory into Japanese protectorate.

holding firm at present levels and
some activity is manifested in the
market due to receipts usual during
the harvest season.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-The summer varieties are
about all over or will be within the
next week or ten days, when fall ap-
pies will begin to arrive. No change
in quotations has taken place during
the week, but the movement has been
better than heretofore.
| Other Fruits-Peaches are getting
very plentiful and during the next ten
days should be at about the zenith.
Quotations are little easier this week
at COARSE. Pears are off Csc at $1.25
@1.5o, while cantaloupes are down SOC
at S1.25@1.5o. Grapes are getting
quite plentiful, with the Tokays quot
ing at So and Muscats and Blacks at
SLIPS.
Potatoes-Spuds still hold at SLIPS
per cwt. for the Irish variety, while
the sweets are little easier at $3.25.
Other Vegetables = Strings beans

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The advance in the local

ing themselves to the higher range in
eastern centers, on basis Of &c high
err than last weeks quotations. Blue

s1.1s and red Russian SLIT. The gen.
eral situation has shown fluctuating
tendencies, with a number of sharp
breaks from the top, placing Chicago
practically on a level with the har-
vest partially completed, while the
problem of moving the Northwest
crop holds a very serious one, with
no tonnage available with which to
float cargoes from the Pacific seaboard
and strong possibilities of encounter
ing difficulties in securing cars with
which to make transcontinental deliv-
cries. The mills have bought consid-
|'erable wheat, but are inclined to con-
servatism at the present range of
prices.
Flour Market has shown no further
advances during the present week, but
with the wheat market going up, it
may be only a question Of time until
flour will be given another boost.
Feed-Feedstuffs are generally firm,
in sympathy with the higher prices
prevailing in the grain market. For
the week there has been no change in
aaotations, but market is very firm
