The association, it was stated, is ready to bring in 500,000 or more coolies. agreeing to deport all of them when their services no longer were re- quired.
 The Chinese Six Companies is the recognized central body of Chinese res idents of this country. It's headquar- ters are here.
 Mindful of the many obligations of it's members to America" the telegram reads, land of the generous and sym pathetic treatment at all times accord ed to China by your great country, we are desirous of assisting in every way possible the world war for democracy and humanity"
 It is suggested that the draft of hun dreds of thousands and perhaps mil lions of men from this country may cause a serious shortage of food.
 The telegram goes on to say the so- ciety is aware it is making an unusual suggestion, but remarks that these are unusual times"

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

The immediate bull factor in the market is the Liberty Loan campaign. When the effectiveness of this is dem onStrated, as it will be sooner or later, the response will be vigorous Mean time, irregularity in improvement Is eX- Gected Under such circumstances, con- servative and discriminating purchases of standard Steels, equipments, coppers and leading specialties on recessions should give satisfactory results. The rails may lag temporarily, pending ac- tion on the interstate commerce com mission on freight rates.
 Rock Island stock would be among the first to respond to any advance in freight rates, according to well in formed circles.
 Purchases of equal amounts of the various issues are being recommended.
 The common is held to be an excel lent speculative attraction. The most important development connected with the Anaconda company in the last year is declared by well informed New Eng land banking sources to have been the entrance of the company into the zine field on big scale. Large profits are predicted.
 Nearly all smaller steel industrials, according to good information, are

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 21.-Wheat became mere side line today in board of trade business. The volume of transactions in the breadstuff had become so trifling in view of pending legislation at Wash ington that the few brokers still en- gagged were moved from the big pit where prices had been largely deter mined for the entire world. Oats trad CTS took the place vacated by the wheat crowd. Thereafter oats and corn nearly monopolized attention. Prices finished lower all around-wheat down ' cents: corn off + to 1s oats, 1A to 1 as, and provisions 25 to B.
 As compared with future contracts. cash wheat, that is wheat for imme- diate delivery, was re;atively firm, No ? hard, an ordinary grade, commanding s3.0S a bushel. There is next to no cash wheat here. however, the whole stock in. Chicago being now only 314.- 900 bushels, as against 3,1S6000 bushels year ago.
 Corn weakened chiefly as a result of assertions that planting acreage this season would be the largest on record.
 Active buying made the oats market strong during the first half of the day. Profit taking was indulged in later and a down turn in prices followed
 Weakness of hogs and grain eased down provisions Trade was light. Close:
 Wheat: July. s233; Sept, $2.1o.
 Corn: July. $1.545s Sept. s1471s.
 Oats: July, 66Ae; Sept, 56Ac

OFFICERS INSPECT
 CANTON|MENT SITES

TEMPE, May 22-Among the the sev- eral sites in the Salt River valley for the army training camp considered by Brigadier General Greene and his staff of officers on their visit to the valley yesterday, was one eight miles south west of Tempe. Embracing a tract of 5000 acres of sandy loam soil, with a good slope to the Gila river, the best of water available, and but a few miles from the Arizona Eastern railroad, the site. has been looked upon favorably and the engineers who on Sunday surveyed it and prepared their report on it for General Greenes staff classed the To- cation as ranking with the best to be had in the valley.
 The special train conveying General Greene and the party of army officers reached Tempe at S:30 yesterday morn ing and accompanied by representa- tiveS of the various commercial organi- Zations in the valley they left imme- diately left for Mesa where the site northeast of that city was inspected. On their return they looked over the Tempe camp site, and then continued on to Phoenix for lunch.
 The 5000 acres land southwest of Tempe available for the cantonment is situated just south of the east range of the Salt River valley mountains and slopes south to the Gila river. The railroad into the valley from Maricopa runs two miles eas, of the proposed location.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, May 21. (Wall Street)- Industrials, notably the steel and iron stocks, ruled today'S activity but rela- lively restricted market to an extraor- dinary degree. Inquiry for those ls- sues seemed to be prompted by addl- tional trade advices of highly favor able tenor. Extensive short covering and growing public participation were accelerating factors.
 United States Steel occupied its cuS- tomary commanding position and con- tributed almost 33 per cent to the total of 50.000 shares. At it's extreme rise of 3A points to 125A the stock came within four points of it's record, made in the latter part of 1916.
 Related stocks like Crucible and Co., lorado Fuel took rank among the other strong and active issues at gains of 2 to 3A points.
 Rails were intermittently prominent but failed to register more than mode rate gans.
 Easier tendencies were shown in eX- change rates on London, Paris and Pet rograd. Domestic monetary accommo- dations were unaltered on slight de- mand
 Bonds were firm, condition to which an enlarged inquiry for internationals contributed appreciably. Total sales par value, $3,075,00 United States bonds were unchanged on call, but the coupon As fell 34 per cent on d sale.
