in the northwest was fast disappea ring
and that prospects were encouraging for a
big crop had a good deal to do with easing
the wheat market here. The bearish eff
fects of the government crop report con-
tinued also in evidence. Lack of buyin z
support was feature. The opening prices,
which ranged from the same yesterday s
finish to 1ac lower, were followed by adj
ditional declines before reaction set in.
| Initial values were 81 O3 to 81 OAK for July,
and $1.0oA to $105M for September.
Later an advance of 5 cents from bottom
prices of the day took place as q result
of word that black rust had been found
at Ypsilanti, N D. and because of large
export sales at the seaboard. The close
was unsettled. 2K@3c to 31sc net higher

eral setback.

Lansing statement, which dealt with
Germanys demand that the United

Mr.. Gerard in reply stated that
the allusiOn TO a treaty evidently
referred to an arbitration treaty,
which the United States concluded
in 1914 with u nations. including

The Cologne Gazette expressed
bitter disappointment that America
was disposed TO await the end Of the
war before pressing England for

Chairman b. H. Meyer of the com
mission today, but there is no let

The new transportation situations
presented by the war affects rail
roads and shippers so acutely that
the remedies to be applied by the
commission will be comparable TO
surgical operations-the ultimate
good cannot be accomplished with
out considerable pain.
Allow Increased Storage Charge.
Thus, to cure the condition OF
congestion OF freight cars at eastern
terminals, the commission is per-
hitting railroads materially to in
crease charge for storage and de-
murrage. This means that shippers
viii not be permitted TO allow their
goods TO remain in eastern seaport
warehouses or in cars on sidings and
in yards without paying increased
rental charges for the space occu-
pie6. The commission feels this will
expedite movement of goods, but
shippers OF the west are bitterly
protesting that they are being made
to bear a burden unfairly placed
upon them. But this remedy, the
commission believes, also will cure
the western car shortage, doing great
ultimate good.
Shippers ere protesting against
advanced rates on war products. but
the commission is preparing TO grant
several increases on this sort OF
goods. holding that profits will be
fairly distributed because of the
high prices being received by manu-
facturers. Also labor generally is
going up, and the railroads must
have funds with which TO pay the
men.
Change Main Travelled Routes
One Of the greatest transportation
revolutions now in process is the
changing Of the great travelled
routes Of rail commerce. So con-
gested are the ports of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore
that they cannot squeeze through
the vast amount Of goods offered for
export at those gateways so there
are now pending before the commits
