MERCHANT SAYS
MAJORITY OF JAPS
SLOW TOPAY BILLS
California Business Man Testi-
flies Before House Immigra-
ton Committee.

Stockton, Cal, July l5.-The i'm
migration committee of the house Of
representatives, in its investigation OF
the Japanese question, had viewed
both sides of the situation at Florin,
near Sacramento. The population OF
the locality is largely Japanese.
From John Reese, the only Ameri-
can merchant in the village, they
heard the story that he had been
forced to abandon giving credit to
Japanese because of the difficulty in
collecting his bills and had left on
his books at the present time only
two of their accounts, which were
guaranteed by American produce
firms.
Mr.. Reese told them also that
Japanese wives in the community
who did not bear children were sent
back to Japan, while for families OF
seven children in California, bonus
was given by the Japanese govern
ment. S. Takata. the Jara"c,.2 ;
Methodist minister, said his church
roll totalled 65 members. As of them
adults and the rest children, while
the local Buddhist church had only
about 50 members. The construction
of new Buddhist temple. four
months ago, caused many of the
Japanese to drop away from that
faith because of their belief that. it
was a step counter to the general
Americanization tendency Of the
colony, according to Rev. Mr..
Takata.

Resumption Of Trading on
PreWar Basis at Chicago.
HEAVY MARGINS CHECK
VOLUME OF BUSINESS
Initial Scramble Is Of Short
Duration-Majority Of the
Dealers Soon Drift to Corn,
Oats and Provision Markets.

Chicago, July 1S.-Reopcning of
future delivery wheat business to-
day attracted a crowd to the Chca-
go board of trade, but as a spectacle,
it was over in couple of minutes.
The big trading hall on exchange
was exceptionally crowded TO wit
ness the fresh start of the business
after a stoppage Of nearly three
years on account of war conditions.
Everybody of consequence in the
grain trade of Chicago appeared to
be present, most Of them on tip toe
to see the initial scramble of brok-
.ers competing to buy and sell
wheat in the method that for years
had largely governed the value Of
all breadstuffs, foreign as we'll as
domestic. The scramble came in a
twinkling and the familiar old-time
uproar of the wheat pit joined with
vigor the din from the other pits.
Turmoil Soon Over.
Turmoil in the wheat crowd prov
cd brief, however, for most OF the
brokers soon trooped into the corn,
oats and provisions pits. Heavy
margins necessary to cover possible
violent fluctuations had apparently
checked any volume of trading.
Price changes during the day were
within ordinary limits, with Decem-
Der wheat the principal option op-
ening at $2.72 to $27S, somewhat
lower than had been generally ex-
pected and closing weak at $40 II,
influenced more or less by weather
conditions likely to avert crop dam
age from black rust.
Hedging Resumed.
Professor ]. +. Boyle of Cornell
university, formerly with the bureau
of markets, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, who is making
study of the marketing of grains,
watched the trading throughout the
day. ..-
What impressed me was the mar
row range Of prices Professor
Boyle said, "and the fact that coun-
try elevators resumed hedging their
wheat almost as if there had never
been an interruption. Some country
elevators. when there was no trad
ing OF wheat for future delivery. de-
clined to buy from the farmers as
they did not know what price the
wheat would bring by the time it
reached the central markets.
Nov that sales may be made in
the open market at any time, | look
for a constantly increasing volume
OF business"
