CROP REPORTS FAIL
TO SEND WHEAT UP
Lack of Outside Trade Declared
to Be Cause of Sluggish
Market.

CHICAGO, Jsae 25.-Ear;y buying OF
wheat based on reports of rains inter-
fering with harvest work In Oklahoma
and Of drought in South Dakota caused
an opening to-day that was u cent to
u cent higher. July started at 131 to
1914 and September at 124 u to 124%
The markeet then turned heavy ana
dropped two cents. Lack of OUTSIDE
trade was accepted generally as the
cause of the markets failure to respond
70 bullish crop reports. The market con-
tinued sluggish until just before the
close, when week end evening trades
caused an upturn. July registered net
loss Of u cent. closing at 13O15 10
1903; September responded better to
crop rumors and closed 1 " to cents
net higher at 1851 to 125%.
Corn rallied when the upturn came In
wheat, July closing at 629s to 62M and
September at 63A to 6SSs. the net gains
being a cent to " cent. ;:
Corn was heavy under light trading.
July opened at SO cents, which was Is
cent to u cent lower, and September
was unchanged to " cent lower at 621
to 62A.
Oats showed scattered liquidation and
certain cash houses sold September and
bought July. The opening was Is cent
lower to u cent higher with July at
3s1s to 3SA cents and September at
401s to 4oA cents.
Provisions were generally steady to
strong, with a good undertone that en-
abled them to resist the heavy grain In
fuence. Trading in provisions was
light
Despite bullish crop conditions this
weeks wheat market has shown con-
siderable depression. influenced largely
by the action of stocks and cotton. Com
pared with those of week ago, wheat
prices this morning were u cent to
cent. lower, corn prices were off rs to
3A cent and oats prices were down u
to A. Provisions gained 10 to 81 cents.
Wheat proved unusually sensitive to
unsetting effects from breaks in the
value of securities and cotton prices.
Confidence on the part Of wheat tuyers
failed, therefore, to develop any lasting
robust quality although responding in a
spasmodic way to advces of drought
and heat damage in the Northwest and
creasingly serious reports OF black
rust. Rains in the Southwest delaying
the winter wheat harvest also were
ignored largely. as were disappointing
figures on yield and drought talk from
France and Russia. On the other hand
bears made much of slowness CT ex-
ports, except as to long credit transac-
tions with Germany. The dominating
influence in the pit, however. appeared
to be the fact that the traders were
keeping an eye mainly on stock mar
kets downward swings.
Weakness in corn and oats was asso-
ciated with trouble that carriers were
having in obtaining sufficient storage
room here for corn which had been
bought
Indications Of some export call helped
give frmness to provisions.

GERMANS NOT EAGER
FOR COTTON CREDITS
One Order Involving Million
Dollars Placed, Most of
Others Small.

Berlin, June rs.
The eagerness or American cotton
growers and bankers to give the Ger
mans credit exceeds the willingness OF
the Germans to accept this credit, a
prominent German textile manufac cturer
declared to-day. From reliable Ameri-
can and German sources THE New YORK
HERALD correspondent learns that at
least six deals have been undertaken in
Berlin by responsible American firms
during the last three months TO sell cot
ton in the German market. One order
made recently involves a million dollar
nine months credit. This is the first big
credit deal. Most of the other deals are
small ones
The German textile industry at the
most seeks only a years credit. the time
necessary to complete the sale of the
goods manufactured The real obstacle
is that the reduced consuming capacity
of the German people is bound TO re-
main so for some time. It is estimated
that this has shrunken to one-third OF
the normal peace time consumption.
The immediate obstacle TO American
cotton business In Germany is not cap
ital, because German Investors offer
cheap money where a sound investment
is possible. Outside capital also is avail
able. which the Germans are leaving un-
touched. This was indicated by the
0.000, 900 gulden Dutch loan. German
manufacturers availed themselves Of
only per cent. of this.

AMERICA IS PRAISED
FOR FEEDING AUSTRIA
Hdinisch Says u. S. Saued
Children From Starvation.

The American Relief Administration
has given out a statement received by IL
from President Hainisch of the Austrian n
Republic. In which he praises the re-
suits attained by the Hoover organiza-
tion's child feeding programme. Presl-
dent Hainisch, according 70 the relief
Administration statement. declares that
the American relief work has saved
Austrian children from damaging under
nourishments and meant more food for
adults. and also has tendency to sta
h!rSA our nation politically"
President Hainisch wrote that "inas-
much as the American Relief Admins
tration's European children's fund for
Austria soon will have completed the
second year Of its operation this means
fitting time 20 voice the profound
gratitude felt by the Austrian govern
ment and the Austrian people TO the
people Of America for their great and
effective action Of generosity and broth

The report also states the intention of
the Auairian officials TO continue operat-
ing the school kitchens after the Ameri-
can operation cease. September 1, 1921.

BRITAIN'S POWER
LINKED WITH COAL
Failure Of Supply Would Mean
Loss Of Position in World,
Says Expert.

David Evans. editor of the Cardiff
Journal Of Commerce, predicts In the
Black Diamond that II the industrial
foundation for Great Britain's CONNER
cial eminence, her domestic coal supply,
should ever give out. Great Britain
would fall back to n secondary position
among the nations Of Europe similar to
that now occupied by Holland. Mr..
Evans doubts that oil can ever be sub
stituted for coal In British industry. The
consumption Of oil In the United King
dom amounts TO only about three and a
half million tons-equivaient to about
five million tons of coal. while coal con-
sumption In 1920 ran to 100. 600. 900
tons.
Concerning the effect OF the miners
strike, Mr.. Evans says:
The methods of sabotage adopted by
the miners have resulted in the flooding
Of forty-six pits and levels with an APP
proximate output capacity of 2.250, 900
tons per annum but relatively even
greater than the loss In output through
the flooding Of these mines Will be the
loss due % the postponement OF normal
working conditions In the mines which
nave not been Hooded. for it will prob
ably be some months before n large
number OF the collleries are brought
back TO a state of efficiency.
Making allowance for these direct
and indirect losses. and. on the other
hand, crediting the mines with rete
of post-strike production from July 10
the end OF the year equal to tho high
est that has been reached under tho
seven hour act. the output for the cur
rent year will only amount TO between
ls0. 100000 and 2oo00oOOo tons. represent.

PAPER co. ATTACKS
REASONS FOR STRIKE
International Asserts That
Collective Bargaining Plan
Is on Trial.
PRINCIPLE IS LSvGLvED
Wages Only Issue Upon Which
Employees Will Arbitrate,
Is Charge.

The International Paper Company in
a statement made public yesterday set
ting forth its side OF the labor disagree
ment that has resulted in strike in all
the company's mills since May declares
that the principle and fairness of collec-
tive bargaining is on trial and argu-
ments in favor OF the principle are not
strengthened by the experiences OF the
strike.
Although expressing a belief in the
principle of collective bargaining, the
statement declares that in this case IL
has not had fair trial The officers of
the international Brotherhood of Paper
makers proposed that the company
should consent to the arbitration Of the
wage scale alone, meantime starting the
mills under the old scale. which the COM
pany declares is two and half times as
great as the scale of 1915. Agreement
to this suggestion the company asserts.
would establish principle that without
previous discussion of the merits of
questions in dispute employees could call
strike. shutting down the plants, and
then demand arbitration. The statement
adds:
This company. after ten years of
trade agreement regulations with It's
employees has not even been given an
opportunity TO attempt mutual bargain
ing with its employees. except as has
been shown--the only proposal so far
developed being a long drawn out arbi-
tration with all other important ques-
tions except wages eliminated"
jeremiah 7. Carey, Of Albany, presi-
dent OF the brotherhood. when shown
tn companys statement last night de-
clared that the company had been in
vited to participate in conferences be-
fore the wage agreement expired on
May !. Mr.. Carey added:
THE International Paper Company
invited their employees to send repre-
sentatives to a conference in New York
after they had submitted to the en-
ployees individually 4 proposal to re-
duce wages from Is 2-3 to 27 per cent,
with an average of more than 90 per
cent. reduction for the total. based on
wage rates in effect May / last. This
proposal was not we'll received by the
employees and a conference was called
in New York last week, at which the
unions agreed to submit the question of
wages to arbitration. The International
Paper Company later notified officials
OF the unions that the proposed arbitra-
ton had bsen rejected by them.
THE paper trades unions have renewed
a number of agreements since May ! in
mills where newspaper and products
similar to those OF the International COM
pany are manufactured. with the under
standing that there Is to be no reduc-
ton in wages In the agreements already
entered into.
THE unions feel that II Is not going
to put premium on delay in arbitration

Mr.. McKenna spoke Of the United
