 "A general exodus of brewing cap ital from the United States to the Orient was foreclosed in a statement by Rudolph Samet, President of the California State Brewing Associati ,n "We are looking to china as the bas- 'place to locate" Samet said. q an leaving in few days for that coun- "trv to. arrange ter the construction "of a two million dollar L.ant for the "Ranier Brewing Company. Other "breweries are making similar ar arrangements"
 Let us work for the Randall Bill which prohibits an American citizen from engaging in such business in any foreign country and at the same time expects tne protection of the U. ; Governmnc
 Let such man "Chinaize" himself if he wants to do such a business. Let not the U. s. flag be a protec- tion to him. China does not feel kindly toward England for forcing opium upon her. Let us not pro- yoke her anger by introducing a worse thing to her.. Worse? You ask. Yes, a thousand times worse, for opium smokers were inseclusion whereas beer drinkers run at large and are Ia greater menace to country.

EXPORT BUYING
 PUT STRENGTH
 IN WHEAT MARKET
By Associated Press

Chicago. August 31.-Revival of export buying put fresh strength into the wheat market today. The close, although un- settled was % to 11a net higher, with December s2.34A to s2.341a, and March S2.3ON. Corn finished & to s4 cents up, oats unchanged to A cent advance and provisions varying from 25 cents decline to 15 cents gain.
 At first the wheat market showed de- pression largely on account of hedging pressure from cash houses here. It was not long, however before word got around that there had been export done over night and that Fance, Belgium and Greece were buying. Later there were assertions that Italy had taken one mill lion bushels. With such gossip current the market turned in favor of the bulls, especially as a good deal of notice was taken of predictions that the southern hemisphere would be unable to ship free- ly from now on until after December 91
 Indication of frost in the western part of the Dakotas and of Nebraska rallied the corn market but not until in sympa- thy with wheat the deferred futures had touched the lowest prices yet this sea- son. Oats kept within a narrow range and were governed mostly by the action of corn

New Orleans Cotton Rx kSsnniatad Prhsa

New Orleans, August 31.-Further sell
 ing made it's appearance in the cotton market today, good weather over the belt and unfavorable reports concerning the spot situation in the interior being the main reasons back of it. Secondary req sons were poor cables, less favorable for eign news generally and reports that the British coal miners referendum regard ing strike had turned out in favor or striking. The opening was lower and the decline persisted until October was at %. soc and the trading months were. sev- enty-five to ninety-five points under the close of yesterday. At the lowest levels a great deal of realizing was done by shorts, which checked the downward movement and started a reaction.
 For a while during the middle part Of the session there were many minor re- actions, ranging from thirty to fifty points for the most part. At one time the market stood one point over to thlr- ty-three under the close of yesterday and some little buying for long account was done by traders who were looking for an unfavorable condition report from the government tomorrow. but In the after noon the tone softened again, mainly be- cause of reports that the bolsheviki were gaining ground and because of fear or further declines in the spot department The close was at net declines for the day of twenty-seven to Sixty-three points. Spots lost 100 points. dropping to 29.5oc for mddling.

TRANSPORTAT IONS TAKE ON NEW LIFE; OTHER STOCKS WEAK
Can Loans Ruled at Eight to
 Nine Per Cent, Against Ten l.. Per Cent on Monday
By A,,ceIated Press

New York, August 31.-The cleav- lege between rails and industrials, Which has been the conspicuous fea- ture of recent sessions of the stock ;Snarket, became more clearly defined aoday Transportation of almost every class manifested Increased strength while the balance of the list reflected further heaviness or hesitation.
 Since the granting of increased freight and passenger rates, commis- sion houses have observed steady growth of interest in railway shares. Much of this interest originated al iwestern and southwestern sources, and derived additional stimulus from cellent crop prospects.
 Among traders and the professional element there has, also been consid- erable switching of accounts from in dustrials to the rails, especially low priced reorganized properties, doubt less because of their greater specula- tive possibilities.
 Outstanding features of today's in- uuiry comprised the preferred shares of St. Louis and San Francisco, St. Louis Southwestern, Chicago and AL ton, St. Paul, Baltimore and Ohio, Kan ssas City Southern, Western Maryland, Wheeling and Lake Erie, and Seaboard Mir Line gross advance of 1-3 points. Representative rails were featured by Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Cana dian Pacific, Reading, Norfolk and lWestern and Atlantic Coast Line at l Ao points gain.
 Popular steels and equipments were relatively backward with oils, but the eecondary motors and their accessories, Also shippings and kindred specialties, were frequently the objects of bearish pressure, contributing to the markets hrregu ular close.
 1 Although local bank reserves were hgain drawn upon to meet heavy pay anents, call loans ruled 8 to per cent sgainst yesterdays maximum of 10 per lcent. Foreign exchange was not al- tered, aside from the firmness of Lon- don and Paris rates.

RALLIES IN STAPLE FOLLOW AN EARLY
 COTTON DECLINE
The General List Closed at a Net Decline of Ten to Fifty
 Seven Points on the Day
By Assooiated Prsss

New York, August S1.-The cotton mar ket was irregular today with rallies fol- i lowing an early decline as a result Of tomorrow. The early break carried De- cember contracts off to 25c, making de- cline of 295 points from the high level of Saturday, after which the price rallied to 25.77c, or within three points of last nights close.
 This improvement was not sustained, 1 however, owing to reports of continued weakness in southern spot markets and December closed at 25. 4Sc, with the gem eral list closing steady at a net decline of ten to fifty-seven points.
 The market opened at decline of fir teen to fortyfive points under a continu- ation of yesterdays selling movement and showed net losses of sixty to ninety five points during the middle of the morning. Sellers were encouraged by weak cables, continued nervousness over the labor situation in British coal mines, the sharp break reported in southwestern spot markets yesterday, the more favor able weather map and a report from one of the local authorities placing the con- dition of the crop at 726 and the indi- cated yield at 14035,oOo bales.
 The break to 26.76c for October and "A 40c for January attracted good deal of profit taking by recent sellers and there were rallies during the middle Of the day.
 Doubtless these were promoted by the proximity of the government report and there was also an impression that tn, weekly report of the weather bureau would make an unfavorable showing. Except for covering, there appeared to be very little demand and the market weakened again during the afternoon, when there were reports of hedge selling from the southwest. Near months were relatively easy during the entire day and some of the local traders, encour- aged by recent declines in southern spot markets, are predicting premiums on the later deliveries. The average of ten private crop reports points to a condition of 69.2 and private crop indications aver aged in the neighborhood of 1S,3s4, ,0oO bales
