BLACK RUST TALK CAUSES AN ADVANCE
 IN PRICE OF WHEAT
Corn, Oats and Provisions All Made an Advance in the Chicago
 Grain Pit
By Associated Pro.s

Chicago. July 22-Black rust talk more serious than at any previous time this year had a good deal to do today with a material advance in the price of wheat. The market closed firm ? to 2kc net higher with December 259 and March 26S. Corn gained F 10 9hc, oats 1sc to 1c and provisions l' to SOC.
 Unfavorable weather conditions in parts of the American northwest. es- pecialiy mort of Dako formed one or the chief reasons for anxiety becoming again acute regarding black rust in jury to wheat but during the early trading the market tended downward owing to talk of widespread heavy de- mand for cars 10 move wheat and be- cause of welcome rains in Canada. Pre- dictions of showers and high tempera- lures however. in the black rust dis trict led subsequently to reversal of sentiment. and so. too, did gossip that export business at the seaboard was lively, and that receipts of coarse gram here were likely to be curtailed.
 Corn at first showing uncertainty scored a decided upturn. There was renewal of yesterdays persistent buy ing on the part of big elevator con cern. Oats merely reflected the changes in other grain.
 Provisions were governed by the strength of cereals, despite lower quotations on hogs.

WAS PLENTIFUL IN THE
 COTTON TRADING
Staple Fluctuates Between a Record Advance and Sensational Drop in
 Last Hours Trading
By Associated Pre-"

New York, July 22.-The cotton mar ket was furnished with plenty of ex- citement today, the first sensation be- ing an advance in July contracts to 4375, which is the highest figures ever attained by a futures contract on any domestic exchange, and fifty seven points higher than the record estab- lished by March contracts on March 23 last. The advance was due entirely to covering by belated shorts and did not extend to the rest of the list which was comparatively quiet without im- portant price changes until the last half hour when it developed a sensa . tional break of over s5 a bale, closing weak at a net decline of 125 to 15O points.
 The July position only reacted twen- ty-five points from the top. as there was very little offered, and closed 100 points net higher The late smash car ried October off to 3.20. December to 3150, and January to S0.75, at which levels the market closed. Chiefly re- sponsible for this late violent decline in prices was d rumor that the Ma tional Ginners' condition figures would be bearlSh, ana mat numper ol all River mills will close down for the balance of the week. This news, in connection reported economic and financial crisis in China which was a feature of the earlier news, caused heavy liquida tion which ran into stop loss orders right at the close.
 The selling was very general but commission houses and the south were conspicuous. while room traders who had been free sellers earlier In the day were buyers at the lower levels At one time, after the opening Octo- Der contracts sold as high as 34.67 and December 3292, or one to two points above the previous nights close on rains in various parts of the belt, with l boil weevil complaints and predictions | for further showers tonight and to- morrow in the eastern regions.

PRICE RANGES WERE WITHIN VERY SMALL
 RADIUS YESTERDAY
Industrial Conditions Are Frightened as Result of Railroad Wage Award
 Made This Week
sY Associated Press


 New York, July 22.-Prices on the stock exchange rose and fell within an ex tremely small radius during the greater part of today's session. Sentiment is speculative circles was .visibly heartened. however. by the better aspects of the railroad labor situation and maintenance of comparatively easy money rates.
 There was a fairly successful demon- stration against the short in the last hour, when quotations rose to highest averages of the day under the impetus of demand for oils, steels, rails and various miscellaneous specialties.
 The sudden advance of prices followed publication of excerpts of Senator Hard ings speech of acceptance. The candi- dates reference to the country's trans portation needs met with special satls- faction.
 Industrial conditions frightened as a result of the railroad wage increase and advices from the more important steel centers indicated increased production, based on the belief that many new con tracts for equipment are pending
 Reports of "saturation in the steel industry, which have been long current in the financial district, met with deniais in authoritative quarters, but the motor group as whole, made indifferent re- sponse to these assurances Sugar shares were under further pressure, but raiild on the firm undertone of all food issues.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, July 22-(SpeciaL) )-John II.
 Flagler was asked to set forth his view Of present-day business conditions and
 of the outlook as he forecasts 1t to his re How directors of the Irving National
 Bank at their July mid-month meeting.
 He spoke with words of encouragement
 emphasizing the need of prudence and of
 wise conservatism, but declaring that sn
 his opinion the United States and the
 world are entering upon an era of the
 greatest industrial and material activity
 ever known, and associated with this will
 be also a fine moral stiinulous which
 will be exemplihed in the conduct of busi-
 ness
 Probably MT. Flagler was asked to
 speak to his fellow directors because his
 business activities have been so many and so successful covering a wild field, that it was deemed certain be could from lhis experience speak with excellent in- formation and with we'll worth needing counsel Mir. Flagler has long been per suaded that the spirit of cooperation. wise combination, the bringing together into one association of men of broad vision and great executive ability. is the true spirit upon which American progress must depend.
 As the original promoter of the great tube works established in Youngstown, i O.; which became in time one of the sub sidiaries of the United States Steel Cor poration, Mir. Flagler became familiar with the steel and iron industry and his corporation, which was taken over by the | Steel Corporation. was one of the largest isubsidiaries. At one time the companies ! with which he was associated had in their employ some 1000 wage-earners.
 | More recently Mir. Flagler has been identified with the merger, which has | bi ought very strong drug combinations l into one family. One of the incidents as- | sociated with his merger was the pur- chase of the Boots chain of stores in Great Britain That is corporation whose aggregate sales amount yearly to about s40O00,000. It is the expectation that | the sales of the drug company whose merger MT. Flagler was so influential in promoting will hereafter reach as high as | S13o 900 900 a year or perhaps more. 1 SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE | He spoke from an experience which has
 been fortified by profound study of pres ent-day conditions. He as emphatic in
 his declaration that the spirit of cooper ation, the bringing into single manage

Problem of Distribution

We can give some eintelligent thought to a problem of the greatest moment, that of distribution from the farmer some measurable portion of the unnec- cessary waste seemingly inseparabie from present methods. We have enough vital problems in the absolutely essen tial matter of agriculture to keep us engaged for years to come. Mean while the farmtr, in desperation. seeks to solve them for himself and makes steady headway through cooperative associations-Archlr Wall Dougias in the Nations Business.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-07-23

For reasons which he mentioned MT.
 Flagler teo.ared that he had no patience with those whc go about whispering the word panic. Panic, he said, means fear and fear iieans lack of confidence. There fore fear should be eliminated. confidence should be maintained. never weakened.
 MT. FIagler is certain that he world
 is rlalxfng rapid progress in reconstruc- ton He recognized the fact that today there is tight money, restricted credit
 sE Eortage in some lines of production, de- fciency in transportation, labor troubles, and some setbacks in business. But he is convinced that these are all invidents in- evitahle in the upbuilding which is now in progress throughout the world. Mr
 Flagler does not agree with the financial
 leaders who are persuaded that there must be further slowing up of business
 if sufficient funds are to be released to relieve the strain. He is one of those bankers and business leaders who believe
 that improvement will come by decreased
 extravagance on the part of the people and improvement in methods of produc- ton and distribution.
 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
 Mir Flagler referred to the presidential campaign which is this year to begin earlier than in presidential canvasses Of years that are past He is persuaded, so he said. that business conditions will not be materially or probably at all ai- fected by these campaigns. Formerly he said. the strain of campaigning for the presidential election did affect busi- ness. so that there came slowing up un- til after the election determined the event.
 This year, in his opinion. business Will progress without any depressing influence due to the presidential campaign
 This is the view taken by almost all of the leaders in finance and in banking. l The uromise is excellent of better trans nortation, and before the campaign reaches it's maximum in energy in all probability the railroads will be able to get the highest possible efficiency out of their equipment
 l MT. Flagler spoke for some twenty mln- lutes and his address received the closest attention from the twenty able business men who are members of the board or directors of the Irving Bank.
