ASKS FiFTY-FIFTY PACT
FOR CANADIAN WHEAT

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. May g.
Wheat producers. farm organizations.
county agents. University of Mime
throughout the northwest have been
requested to give consideration to a
proposal for the milling of Canadian
by James Ford Bell, vice president OF
a local flour milling company.
In letter to Lotus d. Coffman,
president of the University of Mime
sofa, Mr.. Bell asks that the proposal
be called to the attention of as many
as possible. through the medium of
county agents in order that con-
sensus of opinion may be gained be-
fore the permanent farm measure is
placed before Congress.
Mr.. Bell says that the prices paid
to the producer for his wheat and
flour will be determined to large
amount by the treatment of Canadian n
wheat.
The PROPOSAL is that American mill
ers be permitted to import from can
ada any amount of wheat for manu-
facture into -four, providing that Tor
every 100 pounds so imported they ex :
mort 100 pounds of flour. Under this
nlan the millers would be bonded Dy
the Secretary of the Treasury "hlie
importing the Canadian wheat, such
bonds to be cancelled when they nave
exported -four equal in weight to
the wheat imported.
A duty on Canadian wheat pre-
venting its manufacture by American n
mills cannot lessen the enect OF TINS
wheat on the price of wheat on the
United States market. proponents Of
the plan contend, while permitting
the manufacture Of Canadian wheat
for export will be advantageous to
the producer, consumer. laborer ana
industry and business in general in
the United States it is claimed.

RAILROAD BONDS
WERE IN DEMAND
All Issues Move Up Sharply.
Foreign Governments Are
Well Sustained.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The upward
movement kept on in the bond list to-
day, again favoring the railroad is
issues, Advances in this group were
larger than on any day SO far run
ming from half point to a point and
a half. and in a few instances even
more.
Among the principal gains were
that of point and a half in Atlantic
Coast Line collateral As. which reach

funding 412s. to 81; rise of one and
three-quarters in Erie convertible DIS,
to 39A; a gain of more than two
points of Seaboard Air Line 6s, up to
53A. and one Of nearly four points in
Peoria and Eastern income. to 21H.
The rise was more pronounced in
rail bonds of the speculative type
than in purely investment issues. This
was a reflection naturally enough OF
the bond operation for the rise in
railway stocks of a speculative char
acter.
Other Issues Firm.
Despite the view now taken that
holders of Reading general As will
not get the 10 per cent premium as
segregation plan, the bonds did bet
ter. They got up to rs, later falling
back, however, to 77z ST. Louis and

Liberty bonds were again only
very slightly changed.
Among foreign governments the
features were a jump of 1R points
in Mexican As to 36, gain Of over a
point in the Mexican 5s and new

DETROIT. May 6.-Business in De-

ments which are now being published

ward something more satisfactory

in that heretofore decrease in de-
Ilosits has been greater than !iqulda .
tion of loans. 1t cannot yet be said
that money is easy in Detroit, but all
signs. including the sudden revival in
building operations, show that money
il bit easier to get.
Few Farm Foreclosures.
Upstate the anticipated financial
difficulties of farmers seems to have
passed for good. Huron county re-
ports no farm mortgage foreclosures
by country banks, and other counties
find but few. A; country banker con-
suited, says the farmers. in his sec
tiOn are paying more debts on 16-cent
eggs than they did when eggs brought
40 cents. and ascribes the difference
TO regime of economy coupled with
d cessation of the land buying fever.
But by far the most surprising 6
news of the week was the Detroit city
school report, showing that 1882
more children were in attendance dur
ing April. 1921, than April. 1920. 1t
that great many factory workers
had left the city.
Prospects Continue Bright.
Pontiac business prospects continue
bright. This week it was announced
by the Wilson Foundry and Machine
Company that the largest order for
tire molds in it's history had been
closed and that as result the plant
will run on 100 per cent production
May Is. 1t is one of the very astound-
ing surprises that SO many plants
are near full production with forces
running from 10 to 35 per cent less
than normal
In connection with the employment
situation it is interesting to note that
public relief activities have been ma
terially cut down owing to letting
up of demand for welfare. The num-
Der Of families being helped is now
only half of those at the most serious
time two months ago.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS. May 6.-Demand for
merchandise from agricultural Sec
tions has stimulated wholesale trade
in this district and jobbing shows a
healthier tone. There is noticeable an
improved condition in retail buying.
which is attributed to seasonal re-
quirements and fashions. Orders and
indications of probable needs lead
wholesalers and retailers to expect
this to be one of the best months of
the year. The cause of the invigora-
tion is the activity manifested in the
principal farming regions. The
stimulation, originating in the rural
from the storekeeper in the country
to the jobber and manufacturer in the
city, and retail trade in the city is re-
spending TO the bracing effects on
jobbing and industry.
-a River Shipments q Factor.
While the high freight rates have.
in many places and instances. caused
the loss or destruction Of consider

to overcome or counteract this diff

features OF distribution under exist
ing circumstances is the heavy volume
of business which is moving on the
Mississippi river and it's tributaries.
Managers of marine lines say' their
vessels cannot transport all the goods
which are offered. Freight Is moving
in both directions-raw materials and
farm products to the markets and
merchandise from the cities to the
rural towns and districts.
Many New Bank Accounts.
Quick interest is manifested in the
Official statements published by the
banks. The reports show the loan

Der cent of the deposits. The signih-
canoe Of this comparison is that the
liquidation and contraction OF credit
under way for some time, have ac-
complished the elimination of redis-
counts. Exceptional Importance Is
given to the inferences of the bank
Rtatements, as interpreting the pres.
