WHEAT SITUATION
THROUGHOUT WORLD
General, Not Local Conditions,
Fix Price.


The success or failure of the wheat
crop IN Ohio does not affect to an.y
degree the price Of wheat. Neither
does it make any difference whether
the Seville Elevator pays one cent
more per bushel than does Spencer.
Wheat is a worldwide commodity
and worldwide conditions must be
taken into consideration when form
ing judgment on the time to sell.
Crop conditions and prices Of other
grain products also affect the price
Of wheat.
Ihe International Institute OF Ag-
riculture at Rome reports, while ac-
curate, are somewhat late. The
wheat acreage OF IL Of the leading
countries is estimated at l51, ,OOO,OOU
acres, or 4,UOO,O0O acres less than last
year.
The japanese crop is reported as
poor, but all other countries average
to good. In lire with the Japanese
report, however, it is interesting to
note that that country has bought
over 100000 bushels of wheat in
the United States of late. Mail
reports say that the Manchurfan crop
is poor this year,,
Drought ha S been broken in Ar
genuine ard the crop outlook there
is much better. Brazil has bought
around 100000 bushels of wheat in
the United States, an annual occur
ance which should occasion no sur
prise. Australia is, or was, threat
ened with floods, but the crop outlook
is good. The monsoon in parts of
India has been favorable, but in some
sections more rain is needed. So far
India has not been reported as a
buyer. of wheat, although theoretical
y it should import, having raised
less than required for home con-
sumption by around 50,O0O,OOO bu-
shells.
Famine prevails in parts Of Rus
sia and this country is expected to
import, although normally it is the
largest exporter in the world. Ger
many has been heavy buyer Of
wheat in the United States of late,
and is trying to arrange big credit
with which to buy foodstuffs, al
though crop reports from there are
very favorable. However, the re-
adjustment of its boundaries de-
creased the area of land per capita
available for agriculture and it must
import a larger percentage of it's
grain than in pre-war days.
| How much corn and oats Europe
will take this season is a mystery.
Therse. seems to be little hope of a
good export business in oats on ac-
count of the light weight of the rev
crop, but some business may result
IN barley. Corn, pound for pound,
is the cheapest feed grain in the
world and the way the export de-
mand has held up is surprising.
Large clearances are expected to con-
tinue from the United States.

O'Neil Not
 Assailant
 Of iernev

Bridgeport police, after conducting a thorough investigation decided to- day that Harry O'Nei1l, of 756 State street, who was arrested yesterday in Stamford for carrying concealed weapons, had absolutely nothing 10 do with the shooting of Patrolman Thomas A. Tierney, Wednesday night. O'NeiIl was interviewed by detectives at Stamford police headquarters yes terday, and furnished a satisfactory alibi as far as the Tierney affair is concerned.
 It was said at police headquarters today however, that O'Neill has been wanted here for some time for steal ing a bicycle from his former board ing place in State street. He will be prosecuted in Stamford on the con- cea1ed weapon charge, and will then be turned over to the local police to answer charges of theft.
 Patrolman Tierney's condition is unchanged, according to a statement made this noon at St. Vincent'S hos pital. The injured man is still in critical condition, but it is believed that he yet has a. chance for recovery.
 No new developments have occur red in the case from a police angle. Detectives and regular patrolmen are still searching for a clue which might lead to the apprehension of the gun man, but their efforts so far have been in vain.

Election
 Campaign
 W0xes Hot
Adherents of Lewis and Gompers Both Claim Big gest Number of Support
 CTS Candidates Confident

!.cnver, Colo, June 2l-Cam- oaieners for both John L.. Lewis, President of the United
 inc Workers, and Samuel .ompers, candidates for the presidency, were working at
 speed today, when the ses-
 ms of the annual convention
 ne American Federation of labor were resumed.
 Both candidates expressed them selves as confident of victory, declar- ing that they had been pledged suf- ficient votes to win. Their claims, however, conflicted.
 Official announcement of the de- cision of the representative of the railroad workers was awaited with interest, as both the Gompers and Lewis supporters claimed a majority of these organizations.
 The Electrical Workers and the In ternauOnal Ladies' Garment Workers were alsU claimed by both candidates.
 The Lewis supporters today added the Anal lgamated Association of Iron Steel and Tin Workers, mine, mill and Snelter workers, and railway car men, and nearly one hundred and fifty single votes of state and central bodies to their list, which already in cludes the machinistS union, mine workers and carpenters and joiners union.
 The election, lapor leaders said. would be made a special order of business for Friday afternoon.
 The most important issue to come before the convention today was the Irish question, on which the resolu- tions committee was ready to report. This committee, it is understood, would report unfavorab1y the declar- ation calling for a boycott on British made goods, and would request the convention to adopt the resolution expressing sympathy for the Irish cause and urging recognition of the Irish Republic by the United States. The group of Irish sympathizers supporting the boycott announced that they will attempt to have the convention repudiate the committee and adopt their resolution, which they declared was drafted by a Thigh official of the Irish Republic"
 They made public a telegram from Harry Roland. secretary to Eamonn DeYalera, Provisional president of the Irish RepubHc,'' which said nothing but a water tight boycott can restrain Britain's abominations in Ireland
 On the other hand, the Irish sym pathizers headed by Peter Brady, of New York, were prepared to vote against the boycott and support the other resolution, which they submit ed.

Both Sides
 Ready For
 Hot Battle

Both sides believe they have their forces marshalled for a victory at the special Stratford town meeting to- night, at which time the voters will dispose of the matter of voting an ex- tra tax of two-thirds of one mill for immediate use of the fire department.
 Fires of the past six months have proven the need of modern fire appar- atus in Stratford. The town has grown rapidly and some of the public utilities have been standing still Neither is the Bridgeport Hydraulic company in any way to blame- Water will not run uphill.
 A pumping engine is needed now to get sufficient pressure to more elevated parts of Stratford. It was with this call the town meeting, with the hope that the voters would sanction the movement, by which several months could be gained, according to esti- mates.
 Although public sentiment is ap- parently for better fire equipment eventually, it is the opinion of those who have studied the matter closely that the special tax will be voted down but the appropriation of S12,0OO for the fire department placed on the an nuaI budget in the fall, at which time it will be favoralbly acted upon at the annual Town meeting.
 The strongest argument presented by those opposed to the special tax is that every man who operates his home and affairs on a business like basis has already allowed, in his pri- vate budget, a certain amount for taxes, already assessed, and for this reason an unlocked for additional amount at this or any other time, is undesirable. There are many other arguments for and against the meas ure, but if the tax is passed it will be by very close vote after a hard fight

Suggests Plaza Be Part Of

Answers Times Request For Ideas As to Best Use of Million Dollar Plaza-Looks Toward
 Bigger City
Bigge r City

In response to it's request for SuS-' gestions as to the best use for the Plaza, The Times, this morning re- ceived a letter from Architect Joseph w. Northrop in which he outlines a plan for Civic center for Bridgeport which should include the Plaza MT. Northrop in his plan looks far ahead to a future Bridgeport which would compare favorably with other cities in the United States and also with Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury in this State, something which he does not consider the city does at present Mir. Northrop faceitously refers to his letter as a ''Sort of sermon whose text, he says, might be ''The Wonder full and Mysterious Workings of Prov idence." His letter follows:
 Editor of The Times:
 ''I would consider the Plaza. not by itself alone, but as very import ant part of great civic development
 'tAs is well known by many mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce, before whom I spoke on the subject and by many other Bridgeport citizens, I have developed plan for a Civic center in the heart of Bridgeport which consists in building a new City Hall, facing Main street. on the site bounded by Main, State and Bank streets, the site now occupied by the Franklin and Sturdevant Buildings, to be connected by colonade with the present City Hall, which would be- come a Hall of Records; also includ- ing the new United Church on it's original site as 9 part of the devel- opment; and a new Public Library on Broad and John street, extending to the Post Office; also including a Me morial Building opposite the City Hall, back of the Liberty Building, extending from Bank street to John street; and possibly a new Post Office in the North West corner of Broad and John streets.
