AS England Sees Gomper5

Mr.. Samuel Gompers. the American
Federation of Labor leader, held re
ception for press representatives at tb~
Savoy Hotel the other morning Ms.
Gompers does not resemble in his per
sonality any British labor leader one
can think OF. If one NAV say so with
out offence he reminds YOU Of the fa-
miliar type of The American capitalist
As you listen TO his oracuar sayings,
emitted from behind the clouds of an
after breakfast cigar. you are convinced
that Mr.. Gompcrs is a man of powerfs.A
and determined character. The most
persistent journalist cannot sidetrack
him where he does not want TO go. He
quickly, so to speak, shunts himself
back on the main line, pushing thu
journalist before him. Mr.. Gompers has
ii large head or a short body, and ther--
is a certain impre lsive immobility about
his countenance, with its unmistakabiy
Jewish characteristics. When asked -
question he answers very slowly and !.
the subject appeals TO him. at great
length. If it does not appeal to hin,
he says so in half dozen words
He made it clear tha~e has been no
change of attitude on the question Of
meeting enemy Socialists at Stockholm
or elsewhere. "We are not vindicttve,"
he said. "and we shall demonstrate that
when we haye won the war, but we are
to win the war first"
Asked what he meant by winnn0 the
war, he gave two alternatives. "a The
characterization of Germany. so that
other democracies OF the world can deal
with her. or failing that. (2) the crush
ing of German imperialism and autoc-
racy. In any case. he said. the Ameri-
can people are solidly behind the Pres
ident in insisting upon the securing of
the famous fourteen Manches-
ter Guardian.

Cereals

Wheat.-So far no especial chanpe
mas taken place in the movement of
wheat through export channels as a
result of the ending of the war. but it
is believed that in the very near
future shipments from the seaboard
wnl be materially enlarged. At the
present time the export demand is
being directed more practically toward
securing large amounts of flour for
prompt shipment, as the nature of the
needs in Europe is of such an urgent
character that it is deemed more ex-
pedent to make heavy shipments Of
flour, which can DE Immediately dis
trbuted to consumers. Receipts of
wheat during the week were consider
ably smaller but stocks at terminal
points are still piling up and there is
very large surplus to draw upon.
The milling industry is anticipating a
period of activity on account Of the
prospective shipments to Europe. and
this is expected to have direct bear
ing on the feed situation, as every
, barrel of -four produced will result in
the manufacture Of about seventy
pounds of mill feed The feeding
situation is acute, as the available
supply has at no time this season
been equal to the demand, and any in
crease in the production will be most
acceptable to feeders. especially in the
dairy industry.
Corn.--The sharp buying movement
which developed in the corn market
on Fri lay afternoon continued during
Saturdays session, and at the close
Of the day values were / lsc to 4bc
net higher. This represented a per-
pendicular gain of over 7 cents a
bushel. and the action of the market
WAS thought to reveal much larger
outstanding short interest than had
been suspected Offers were compara-
lively light throughout the day and
shorts were forced to bid the market
up in order to cover.

Coffee.-The fact that the exchange
is forced to remain closed, awaiting de-
velopments at Washington, practically
ties up all branches of the business,
and the trade generally is in chaotic
condition. 1t has been pointed out that
New York's stock is $4,000 bags of
Brazils and $4,000 bags of mild coffee,
end almost the entire stock is tied up,
with owners either unable or unwilling
to make offerings, owing to the restric-
tions placed upon importers by the food
administration. In the cost and freight
market only small transactions have
been reported, and these have been at
almost record high prices.
The coffee committee Of the New Or
leans Board of Trade sent the follow
ing telegram to the food administration
on Saturday: "The coffee interests of
New Orleans recommend the immediate
reopening of the New York Coffee Ex-
change for unrestricted trading in con-
tracts for delivery not earlier than
March, 1919. No trading in contracts
small spot and afloat supply. And the
removal of all food administration
coffee rules and regulations so that
present holdings can be sold without
restrictions in order to encourage i'm
mediate new importations to prevent
coffee famine. since available spot and
afoat stocks are less than two
month"; supply; also removal Of all
restrictions on importations, except in
so far as they apply TO trading with
the enemy"
Cottonsced Oil.-The market was
steady, with offers rather light. The
trade wonders as to the probability Of
any change in regulations, but it was
said that leading refners are very we'll
satisfied with present conditions, which
eliminate large part of the ordinary
element of risk in operations. and the
trade at large sees little chance of a
change to normal conditions in the i'm
mediate future
