NEW
 RULE GIVES LITTLE
 HELP 10 SHIPPERS
Supposed Modification of Car Order Covers Ground Already Worked Out
 Satisfactorily

"There is no comfort in the amendments to the coal car priority order allowed by the interstate commerce commis- sion," says o. L. Bum, general manager of the Birmingham Traffic Bureau.
 According to Mir Bum, the supposed modification of the priority order, which has been continued for another thirty days from July 21, is not modification.
 It is represented that the amendment allowing the use of shallow open top stitutes no new order of things, these shallow cars never having been used for hauling coal. As for allowing cars re- leased for other purposes prior to June b to remain in such service, it is claimed that there is nothing new in this either The original order No. [ specified that cars 'suitable" for loading coal should be used only for that purpose and ship pers do not see that the amendment makes any change in that respect. THROW THE BLAME Mr. Bum points out the other amend ment, which provides an embargo against n shipper who fails to unload a car within twenty-four hours, as another ef- fort to throw the blame for the car ] shortage on the shipper instead of on the railroads MT. Bum contends that the least contributory cause to ear shortage is failure to unload promptly I for the reason that the shipper who does fail to unload within twenty-four hours after receiving a loaded car must pay l s for each days delay in unloading He does not believe that the shippers are inclined to a practice that entails | so great a cost.
 1 The protesting shippers never did ex- pect the interstate commerce commis- sion to amend the car priority oroer l during it's originally prescribed life, put 1 they did hope that the representations which they made as to Its alleged hard ship would prevent it's further imposi- l tion Now that the commission has or | dered the continuance of the order Tor another thirty days, they will do the best | they can in the circumstances,
 OPEN TOP CARS
 Special effort will be made to get into service all the open top cars that are not suitable for the coal business. Meanwhile it is not believed that the production of coal in Alabama has been increased, while reports from other coal fields are to the same effect. The coal men, however, appear to believe that the production will begin to increase from now on owing to the continuity of the order
 News from the strike centers is not re- lassuring the number of men engaged

Manufacturers Guaranty
Defended as Insurance

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-The practice
of manufacturers guaranty against
price decline was characterized as q
good form of insurance by representa-
tives of business interests employing
the device who appeared to-day at the
Federal Trade Commission hearing.
They urged the commission to follow
hands-off policy
The commission concluded its open
investigation, although briefs may be
filed within thirty days.
Proponents of the guaranty practice
denied that it aided in maintaining
high prices. On the contrary, they de
clared, it had resulted in an immediate
passing on OF price reductions by
manufactured to the consumer AS
the manufacturer assumed the risk Of
losses the dealer was forced through
competition to sell at his lowest figure,
speakers argued.
W. 7. Nardin, of st. Louis, said that
had the guaranty not been in opera
ton many commodities might have fol
lowed sugar in It's price collapse and
brought scores of substantial bust
nesses" to the verge of Bankruptcy.
The rubber industry was declared by
NJ. +. Clark as being unable to operate
effectively without use Of the guar
any. The statement was challenged,
however, by seyeral who interrupted
to say that. had not the guaranty been
in effect the dealers would not have
overloaded their stocks.

Selling Pressure
In Wheat Checked
And Prices Rise
Covering by Shorts Causes
GoodDemand, Quotations
Regaining So Level; Ca
madam Imports Opposed

The grain growers of the country ap-
parently believe that they should have
something to say in connection with
the price al which their products are to
be sold, and the leading famers' organ
izations have advised all farmers not
to sell their grain until they are of
fered price which will at least cover
the cost Of production.
Governor Allen of Kansas. in an ad-
dress, denounced the tactics Of the
Chicago Board of Trade, and said he
had requested President Wilson that he
investigate that organization, and had
also asked the President to place an
embargo against the Importation Of
Canadian wheat.
These factors had a strong influence
on the wheat market during yester-
days session and commission houses
were heavy buyers, apparently on or
ders from leading shorts.
Exporters were IN the market yes
terday to some extent and sales were
reported of about 100000 bushels. Sen
timent at the close of the day was d.
vided, but it was evident that many
thought that further rally might
easily take place il farmers adhere to
their holding policy.
In the local cash market No. red
and No. 2 hard wheat were quoted at
$685. c. i. f. New York
