SERBIA LEARNS WORTH
OF u. S. FARM METHODS

The American He'd Cross Agricul-
tural unit that went 10 Serbia did
more than help win the war, for it
opened Serbia's eyes 10 the profound
possibilities of western ideas and
machinery in retrieving their arabic
land, all but ruined by years OF war
fare. declares Lyman Tryson in
Taking the West Into NouastIr, in
the July number Of the New Red
Cross magazine.
The results IN actual work were
considerable" the writer asserts.
''but when the mission was ordered
home for tho winter of 1S1S-l9 the
members felt that they had accom-
pIish4d much more than the work
which showed in what was growing
i'm the field. They had taught the
Serbs something of the uses OF a
elaborate and sturdy American ma
chinery which. in time TO come, will
enable them TO cope with the pro-
duction OF crops Oh = large scale.
The machinery itself was presented
to the serbian government by the
Red Cross when Serbia again took
charge Of her own reEained country
ana the need Of help of this kind
was no longer so urgent. The peas
ants know something of American
machines now: they have American
seed and have seen American work.

the Gates Company is furnishing ma
terial for but ten houses. At this
time OF the year before the war. the
witness said. his concern would be
furnishing material for at least 100

In reply TO a direct question, Mr..
Barnard said he did not know that
there was a combination keeping DIP
prices. He admitted. however. that
lumber dealers exchanged informa-
ton, and said:
II sold my last lot Of lumber at $50
Other lumber dealers thought they
could get the same price"
Mr.. Barnard informed the commit

deavoring to sell directly to the
consumers. They hope by cutting
out the middleman to get a larger
profit One of the results OF thi'
will be a lumber famine, he said.

CHIEF CAUSE
OF CAR SITUATION
HERE, SAYS HEDGES
Not Unlike That of Other
Companies in U. S. Receiver
Tells Commission.

WASHINGTON. July 22.--The New
York Street Railway situation was
the subject OF inquiry to-day before
the Federal Electric Railway Com
mission. Job T.. Hedges. receiver for
the New York Railways Company,
being the chief witness.
Discussing the situation in which
the Now York Railways Company
finds itself. Mr. Hedges said IL was
not unlike that Of many other COM
panles throughout the country. testi-
mony regarding which already had
been heard by the commission.
AS a concrete example OF the sit
uation," Mr.. Hedges said, during the
six months ending March IS, 1919, the
New York Railways Company earned
in operating income over It's expenses
and taxes, only s20.2sS. In that period
the company also failed 70 pay It's
rentals and likewise failed to pay the
interest on a small underlying mort
gage on roads actually owned by It by
more than $4,000.
"on valuation OF $50 900. 900. which
is very conservative. the company
paid. during these six months, less
than 1 per cent. Furthermore, this
1 per cent. does not allow for fixed
charges, like mortgage. interest and
rentals on leased lines. or depreci-
alton"
Mr.. Hedges attributed the COM
pany's poor showing to the increased
cost OF operating expenses. especially
labor. City experts, Mr.. Hedges said
admitted, after a thorough i1vestiga-
tion, that relief In some form for the
company was necessary.

cided to hold night sessions. begin

UNIONS OPEN SOUP KITCHENS
FOR STRIKING SHIP WORKERS
Men Prepare for Long Siege as
Deadlock Seems Tighter
Than Ever

The marine strike situation. instead
Of growing better to-day. as had been
expected. grew worse. and some OF the
strike leaders said they were convinced
that the ship owners were preparing a
lockout.
This belief was based on reports made
to Thomas L. DelahAunty OF the Marine
Engineers. He said that engineers had
come 70 him with printed slips which
they said wero being distributed by ship
owners OF the American Steamship As
sociation. The slips. which ask the men
to sail with non-union crews. were hand
ed TO engineers on various ships. II was

The crew OF the Porto Rico line steam
ship Ponce tied the boat up in South
brooklyn to-day. The strikers had
signed up for round trip voyage to Eu-
rope and back via Boston. The boat
made the trip 10 Europe. but did not
stop at Boston. The line refused to pay
the men on to-day, saying they must go
to Boston hrst. but they refused.
Striking seamen began the 18th day
OF the deadlock by opening two soup
kitchens In Manhattan and preparing
10 open another in Brooklyn. The two
Kitchens opened In Manhattan are To-
Gated at No. l6l Eleventh Avenue and
No. 40 Burling Slip. The one In Brook

tions a builder cannot expe Il to sell a

News and Gossip Of To-Day's
k.lrket-Present and Fu-
ture Prices.

That yesterdays sharp drop In the
stock market was cue mostly to
technical markets conditions was
pretty clearly demonstrated to-day.
Prices rebounded 10 easily that most
Of yesterdays losses we're entirely
rogained. In fact. several prominent
issuoa made now thigh records for
the year.
Before the opening brokers were
ascribing yesterdays weakness to
labor conditions, tight money, the
Mexican situation and what not
When the uward movement goa fairly
under way these supposed influences
we're oil but forgotten.
Discussion again centred around
the Improvement in business condl-
tions and the large increase in trade
that is in prospect No better illus
tration could be had Of the fact that
the daily trend Of stock prices shapes
the opinion Of the rank and fle ~
traders, and that the opinions OF
these traders never shape the course
Of prices more than temporarily.
Among the favorable announce
ments OF the day we're that the price
of copper metal again had been ad-
vanced, this time to "a cents per
pound for September delivery; that
steel mills again had increased opera
tons: that the Government. appar-
entity fearing a general increase In
steel prices. had decided TO place an
other large order for steel rails, and.
lastly. that the decision TO increase
freight tariffs may be made public
within a month. ...
whether the last report be true or
not, railroad stocks gave an excellent
demonstration Of strength, Gains
were general. and extended 20 more
than 2 points in the leading issues.
ohs and steels were the real specu-
iatlve leaders, however. Crucfbles
easily went up points, United
states Steet gained points to 100 "a,
Texas Company Jumped 7 points. and
the Mexican Petroleum above 5
points,
As a matter OF fact there was not
one conspicuous weak spot In the en-
tire list. Equipments, food stocks,
chemical. leather. motor and other
shares. all steadily worked upward
without meeting serious opposition.
Gains Of 3 and points were the rule
rather than the exception.
The money situation still ls being
closely watched and the opinion -
spreading that really easy money VIII
not again be witnessed for a consider
able time. To-day brokers were bid
ding as high as IN per cent. for time
funds. but the supply was extremely
limited. II Is to be borne in mind tina
Western banks recently had 5een
loanlng money very literally IN the
stock market. In about a month the
crop movement will begin and will
have TO be financed in great part by
these interior banks Providing stock
market activity continues money
