AMERICAN RAILWAY EXPRESS
SEEKS FURTHER INCREASE

The American Railway Express
Company yesterday applied to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
a further increase of Is per cent in
express rates.
On August II the Commission
granted the express companies an
increase of 12l2 per cent in rates.
If this further demand is granted
it will make a tOtal' increase of
Z per cent in express rates.
A hearing on the prOpriety of the
new demand will be held before
Examiner Barclay of the Commits
sion on August 27th.
In its application the express
companies declared that the Com
mission in granting an increase of
l2l2 per cent failed to take into
consideration the increases in wages
granted express company employees
under decisions of July 20, and Au-
gust 10, last. The application de-
clares the express companies have
faith in the evident desire and in
tention of the Commission to allow
in addition to the 1215 per cent in
crease a further increase sufficient
to cover the increase in operating
expenses ocCasioned by successive
advances in wages granted by the
Railway Labor Board"

MINE OFFICIAL
WIRES WILSON
Lewis Expects Strike to Be
Averted Operators
See Deadlock.

Tclegraphic advices to President
Wilson yesterday indicated that the
danger of strikes during the coming
winter in the bituminous coal fields
of Ohio. Indiana. Illinois and Penn
sylvania has betn averted by the
Cleveland conference of the joint
scale committee of miners and
operators.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
in a confidential message to Presi-
dent Wilson, assured the latter that
'all existing differences can now be
harmonized by State agreements" ="
None of the text of the Lewis teIe-
gram was given out, but it was
understood to be extremely graft
flying to the President"
By the operators view of the five
day conference it would have ap-
peared to have been "hopeIesslv
deadlocked," inasmuch as the pro-
posal for a commission to determine
the controversy had been rejected
by the miners. One operator took
'o PNSANAOi IIdI the IdlIure TO
reach an agreement would mean i'm
mediate strikes in Illinois.
The messages from the miners
and operators following the ad-
journment of the conference made
no request upon the President for
further action. he will probably
communicate with the conrerees to
express his hope that no difficulties
be permitted to arise and precipi-
tate strikes.

MONEY.

New York. Aug. 2O.-Although the
aggregate of business in time money
on securities collateral is only mod
crate for the week so far, the trans
actions are slightly larger than Of
late. There is no local money avail
able for fixed dates. but a number
of small loans representing out-of-
town funds are being made. Bank
ers report that money that is being
released throughout improved trans
pOrtatiOn and commercial defation
is being held for employment in
moving the crops, and to provide the
railroads with needed supplies. A
further reduction of inventories is
expected in the sugar trade. in the
cotton industry, in the coffee trade
and in other lines.
Prime bank acceptances continue
in urgent demand and the supply
is inadequate. Rates are UNCHANGED.

l. c. C.'S COAL PRIORITY ORDER
BEING IGNORED BY RAILROADS

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission yesterday declared that
many railroads were ignoring it's
order to give priority to coal cars
and coal shipments, and to report
the number of cars placed at mines
for the loading of coal for public
utilities.
The Commission therefore re
quested" all railroads affected by
the coal priority order to furnish
at once a statement of cars assigned
to mines for public utility coal, in
cluding the name and location OF
mines. and numbers of cars as
signed.
- An order supplementinS the coal
priority order provides that rail-
roads shall assign cars to coal
mines to load coal for public utili.

to guard against any shortage of
coal in essential operations this

MONTREAL CROP PROSPECTS.

Montreal. Aug. 2O.-Crop pros
poets for the Montreal district are
stated to be unusually good this
season. Steady warm weather with
copious rains during July and early
August have meant millions to the
farmers throughout this district.
The hay crop, grains. vegetables,
and especially potatoes, promise un-
usually heavy yields Apple grow
ing associations report that fruit
crops of all kinds are excellent.
Raspoerries and similar small fruits
have produced the biggest crops
known in years
The Washington herald., 1920-08-21

of cacaO exports is due entirely to
the lateness Uf this years crop,
which is said to be record one. The
decrease in the. hide and goatskin
shipments is due to, the recent drop
in the prices of these commodities
on the New York market a num-
Der of large shipments of dry hides
and goatskins were made to Europe,
where higher prices were obtained.
The outstanding feature of these
returns is the unprecedented amount
of sugar shipped to the United
States, almost equal to that shipped
during the entire year 1919.

TRADE
FALLING OFF
New York Starts Rumor of
Unusual Conditions
Prevailing.

Rumors of unusual conditions
obtaining in the export trade are
tiItering into Washington from New
York, ii was learned at the Depart
ment of Commerce yesterday. Keen
interest therefore attaches to the
forthcoming publication of the
monthly trade figures by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, which are expected to be is
sued either Saturday or next Mon
day. Figures for June shoe that
the export trade has fallen off
$100.0O00O0 from the figure regis
tered in May. although both import
and export totals for the month of
May were reported to have been
the greatest yet attained by this
country.
Explanation of the conditions
are given by New York importers
through cessation of buying or
ders from Europe with continued
increases in imports from Europe
This shows, it was said. that
Europe is not demanding raw sup
plies and if the export trade of the
United States is not maintained it
must find II market in the farther
distances.
Tight money conditions brought
about through the cessation, of war
activities and the recent orders of
the Federal Reserve Board. II is
claimed, may be reflected in the
bankruptcies of many shoe string"
exporting firms. One of these con-
Germs, IL was reported at the De-
partmcnt OF Commerce yesterday,
filed a petition in bankruptcy
showing liabilities Of S5OOOOO.
Booked orders from Europe, which
had been cancelled. were listed on

apparently solvent, the concern,
nevertheless, could not obtain

REDS RETREAT FACTOR

New York. Aug. 20.-Stocks were
almost buoyant in Wall street to-
day. and the close was strong, with
material net gains. The buying
was largely by odd lot investors,
but the real cause of the movement
was the discovery made by some
brokers that they had sold too many
stocks. In a money market such
as Wall street has had for weeks
it is good business, according to the
notion OF certain brokers, to put out
a line Of shorts. If the stocks thus
sold happen to coincide with long
stocks carried for customers. that
is fortunate, and the losses of the
customers do not bear so heavily
on the house. But, naturally, when
there is a rally the brokers who
have made short sales for the inter-
est account feel nervous and buy
excitedly. That is what happened
today. There was-no genuine short
account of great size, but shorts
had to be covered nevertheless in
great volume.
The exciting causes were the fur
and the fact that the big railroads
are at last beginning to borrow
money. The borrowing of this mon
ey means that the bankers must
support the market and MAKE the
stocks look good so the bonds will
60. 1t means also that the equip
ment companies may get some of
their long credits Cashed. and thus
be ready to do more business Tor
solvent but impeCunioUs railroads.
New York Central was on exhibit
today as a borrower, and the way
poor old Baltimore and Ohio was
boosted it looked as il that road
might have some news of a bond
issue in a few days As Reading
stocks are in the treasures of both
New York Central and Baltimore
and Ohio, Reading was moved up
sharply as proof that the two roads
had live assets.
Fan American Petroleum.
Word that the Pan American Pc
trOleum Company is planning two
successive dividend increases and
also a stock dividend, sent that
stock and Mexican Petroleum
higher. 1t was reported from Los
Angeles that something even more
important than that was to be an
nOUnCed within two months. 1t IS
known that the buying of the stocks
has been of the best kind recently.
Holders of railroad shares were
disappointed because the strength
of the rails was confined to so few
issues
Cotton options continued heavy as
did other necessities. The falling
prices make the credit situation less
acute. The tobacco growers had a
plan for raising no crop at all in
1921, hoping thereby to hold up
prices, but they have finally de-
Cided not to do such a handsome
thing for the Cuban tobacco grow
ers and will plant as usual
Trade reports were to the effect
that pig iron production in the first
half OF the year was at a rate In
suring a total for the year of six
teen per cent more than in 1919.
One leading trader was busy ad-
vising his friends to buy Texas Oil
and CrUcibIe Steel and giving the
impression that he was not short of
them.
Motor shares were conspicuous
for their strength.
It is now reported that the Beth
lehem Motors Company will be re-
organized as soon as a plan can be
worked out. The control seems to
lie in the street.

in, France and Italy, according to

ain. France and Italy, according to
THE Star" to-day.
France and Italy. the newspaper says,
have intimated that they would like to
be consulted before Premier Llovd
George confers with NJ. Krassin. and it
is probable Premiers Millerand and
Nitti will be invited to come to London
to hear what proposals NJ. Krassin
brings.
Statements regarding the scope of
negotiations between British officials
and NJ. krassin continue contradictory,
some insisting that they involve gem
eral recognition of the Soviet govern
ment, while others assert they relate
solely to the question of trade.
In any case. it seems certain the con-
will not begin until the mid
die of next week, partly because the
pre- liminaries have not been completed
and also because NJ. Krassn's secre-
taries have not arrived from Scandi-
navia.
1t is generally believed Premier
Lloyd George will meet NJ. Krassin, but
it is stated that il he does so the inter
view will be wholly personal and not of
a political character. 1t is doubted
whether Earl Curzon of Kedleston, Sec
retary Of State for Foreign Affairs, will
cceive NJ. Krassin.

The minister dwelt upon the phvsi-

railways IN consequence of the war.

addition, he declared. instead of hav-

$4,000 900 600 marks. as she had previ-
Gus to the war, Germany now owes for

excess of that sum. besides which the
national wealth has shrunk to one-half
