Coney Island Figure Their
Losses in the Thousands

Sunday excursionists, hampered by
the strike land the weather. stayed at
home yesterday, and boat owners and
people who do business at Conev Island
and other resorts reckoned their losses
In the thousands
The Battery plaza, in front of the
Staten Island Ferry, is always crowded
on Sundays with people who go away
on pleasure trips. Yesterday the de-
crease in the usual number was
marked
Captain John Roberts, owner of the
two sightseeing yachts Halcyon and
Tourist, which make the trip from the
Battery around Manhattan Island and
down the bay to Sandy Hook, said that
half the usual number went aboard
yesterday. The steamer Highlander,
for Bear Mountain, carried 400 pas
sengers, one-third the usual quota.
The. steamer Grand Republic, with a
capacity of $500, carried less than
1000 to Bear Mountain. The Manda-
lay, bound for Atlantic Highlands, WAS
1000 short of its usual number of $500.
Coney Island boats, of the Iron
Steamboat Lines. had less than so per
cent of the usual number of pas
sengers. At the Staten Island Ferry
traffic was unusually light.

Tins would mean that thousands Of

Wheat Director
Replies to Cronna
Denies Charge of
Senator That Producer
Didn't Get Full Share

julius H. Barnes, United States
Wheat Director. made public here yes
terday his letter to Senator GrOnna,
chairman of the Senate Agricultural
Committee, in which he replied to the
latter's criticism of Mr. Barnes and the
United States Grain Corporation, made
in a statement issued on August -.
In his letter to the Senator Mr.
Barnes asked for the cooperation Of
the committee and added that before
this task of national administration
should be again embarrassed by
charges of manipulation, tending to un-
dermine public confidence, please grant
me the opportunity to examine state
ments OF presumed facts made before
your committee"
The Wheat Director first took up the
statement by Senator Gronna that win
ter wheat producers are receiving as
low as S115 a bushel land rot the
S205 which Mr.. Barnes gives as C.
theoretical average, and that this years
crops may average not over Sl50 q
bushel."
Kansas Editor ApprehensiTe
According to Mr.. Barnes the sl.15
statement first came from the uneasy
apprehension of Kansas editor.
ut is if, distracted, one anxiously
sought insurance against one's home
catching fire at the same instant that
a cyclone wrecked it. lightning struck
it, earthquakes shook it and a foo.
swept IT away Mr.. Barnes wrote.
"All might conceivably happen at once,
but it is not likely. Of $4,000 900 bush
els of wheat marketed in the South
west since July l our records fail to
indicate even 1000 bushels so priced

the standard price for No. 81
Mr.. Barnes denied that his $2.05 is

on the actual average farm price, which
show. that the 423,OOO,OOO bushels com
prisFhg the crop of 1917 were mar
keted at an average grower price of

was the basis, Mr.. Barnes said, for his
stated price of $2O5.
In denial Of the charge that the
producer did not receive the full
measure of the guarantee, Mr. Barnes
SAID that the average farm price .Ju,y
was $2.20 and on Angus. | s2.l7
between which dates 15O,0OO,OOO bush
els were marketed, evidently at II
or 10 cents above the average price
obtained during the two years of the
fair price control
Less Than 100 Complaints
Asserting that the government agency
acts as disnterested mcditor in price
disputes between producers and mill
ers and dealers, Mr.. Barnes said the
prices fixed by the government are
satisfactory to producers, because
less than 100 complaints have been
registered with him. He invited dis
cusslon on the question of the prices
Tor damaged wheat, saying the dis
counts were compiled by men with
twenty years experience.
Mr. Barnes dismissed the Senator's
charge of manipulation in admins
terng the grades and standards" and
the producers are thereby defrauded
and the consumers receive no benefit"
as unwarranted and suggested that
TINS IS the time for 'sobriety of speech
and restraint Of statement.'
He minded Senator Granna that
wheat administration by the govern
producers and that oone billion dol
lars was voted to secure the price
guarantee.
"To-day.' Mr. Barnes concluded
reduced cc4ops here and abroad in
dlcate world price level fully equal
to the guarantee basis. and the con
sumer naturally is conten, to buy his
bread on that level. The producer
secure at all times by the guarantee
should not insist he be allowed to seek
a better market. without regard to the
consuming public, lately facing a loss
OF one billion tax"
