Judge Gary's View
 Of Business Future
By HOLLAND

New York; March 2I-(SpeclaL)-ln- snired to increased optimism because the conference which was held in Washing ton resulted in satisfactory agreement upon new steel price, Judge Gary, chair man of the board of the United states Steel corporation, returned to New fork prosperity is not far distant. Judge Gary's forecast of business conditions has been almost invariably accurate and usually optimistic. There was time few months after the war began when even he was in some anxiety because war conditions had seriously demoralized the business of the United States Steel corporation Nevertheless while it was necessary to suspend payment of divi- dends, although wages were not reduced Judge Gary thought that he saw promise of better conditions and did not hesitate to say 50. What he saw was verified within a few months, and there followed a period of extraordinary prosperity for this corporation.
 Judge Garys enthusiasm after his re-
 turn from Washington respecting future
 business conditions was speedily reflected
 by the action in the securities market
 The common stock of the Steel corpor- ation touched par and the dealings in
 this stock were of magnitude.
 Judge Garys reason for confidence is
 based undoubtedly upon the belief that the new price for steel and iron which
 was agreed upon at the Washington con-
 ference is so low as undoubtedly to cre- ate heavy demand for these products.
 This demand will increase gradually. There must be readjustments in the equipment of some of the high grade plants, for these were established to meet
 the demands of the government for war
 munitions. His view is spoken of as con- taining sound business philosophy For sometime it has been evident that the need for steel products was only await ing. such scaling down in price as would make itself known i'll demand for these products. There are many industries in the United States, especially the auto mobile industry and those which furnish | equipment to the railroads. which have been somewhat impatiently waiting tor such reduction in price of steel commodi- | ties as would make it practical from a | business point of view to put in order | for these commodities. Then, too, it is i understood that as soon as there was | satisfactory establishment of steel prices | increased orders would come from Flu
 rope, provided only that Europe is able | to make such financial arransements as | will provide funds with which to pay | for these commodities.

STEEL AND WHEAT

Close observers of American industrial and business conditions have for some years felt confident that upon steel and upon wheat are based prosperity and very active business conditions. These two products are regarded inflienc ing business and industrial conditions. Should there be a heavy demand for steel and iron, due to a reasonable price for these commodities, and should there be a satisfactory market for wheat, one lependent upon the law of supply and lcnand then with these influences es tablished. other American products '~iil follow this lead.
 Now that Judge Gary believes, and many others also, that the price estab
 ished at the Washington conference for steel is to be followed by demand for t constantly increasing, the next most
 important question to be answered is the relation of our wheat supply to the mar ,1ets and their general situation. When the, suggestion is made to those who have studied this question that in any event the farmers will receive $2.26 bushel for their wheat the reply instantly fol- loxvs. that this is wholly artificial price ana does not bear any relation to the law or supply and demand. The American farmers are sure to- receive more than 10 OOO OOo Ofo for their wheat unless the weather conditions should be such in the ,,,n,n,er as greatly to reduce the harvest Nobody now seems to be able to forecast what inc market price for wheat is to he Some think that it may be as low as s1 25 a bushel. others put the figure considerably higher. than that. It will denend somewhat upon the harvest in other countries than our own. If then some reasonable arrangement can be made by which the American wheat can be marketed at the normal price, the farmers to receive the difference between that price and he governinrat ~',sraa-

PRESIDENT HEYDLER OPPOSES SALES
OF PLAYERS BY BIG SHOW MAGNATES
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

John A. Heydler, president of the
National League, opposes sales of
players from one major league club
to another. Furthermore, he says
that there is a growing sentiment
against out-and-out selling of play
ers among he magnates Of the Ma
tional League. Something is liken
to be heard from this during the
meetings Of the two big leagues in
New York this week.
Heydler says that trading, or pur-
chasisg players by the waiver route,
is not opposed, but that outright SELL
ing introduces the commercial ele-
ment too strongly and, therefore,
should be frowned upon.
