TARIFF HEARINGS
ARE POSTPONED
Senate Finance Committee
Adjourns After Brief Ex-
ecutive Session.

At a brief executive session yes
terday morning, the Senate Finance
Committee postponed until today
further hearings on the emergency
tariff bill. Members OF the tariff
commission will probably be heard
then; also Senator Knox on his pro-
posal for emergency protection for
the chemical and dyestufs indus
tries during the period between the
adoption Of a peace resolution and
the enactment of a general tariff
law.
Elimination Of the foreign ex-
change section OF the emergency
tariff bill has been determined upon
by members Of the Senate commit
tee. according to some of its mem
bers, and when the bill is reported
to the Senate. either today or to-
morrow, it will be little more than
the farmers emergency tariff meas
ure which President Wilson vetoed.
The foreign exchange section added
by the House provides that in the
collection of customs no foreign
money shall be valued at less than
one-third of par. 1t would only
apply to countries whose currency
has deprecated more than sc 2-3
per cent. but would serve to estab-
lish a tariff embargo against those
countries. opponents Of the plan con-
tend. because Of the arbitrary in
crease in customs duties il would

House members declined to say.
in advance Of Senate action, whether
they would accept the bill with this
section eliminated. although Chair

COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 25.-An offer
to sell 5000 bags of May immedi-
ately at the opening brought otu
offerings of 5000 additional from
other houses. As consequence
that delivery sold at declines of 2oa
% points. while more distant con-
tracts started l6a20 points lower
There are numerous erratic varia-
tions thereafter At one time prices
were 5al0 points above early low
levels. As usual recently large
part of the business consisted OF
switching from May into later posi-
tions.
The anxiety to sell May was
ascribed largely to the fact that
Wednesday is first notice day and
the dullness in the spot markets
leads me to believe that holders of
contract grades will deliver them
instead OF trying to sell on the
The Washington herald., 1921-04-26

On this basis there will be a total
surplus Of 645. 900. 900 bushels which
could be exported from these coun-
tries before next July il they are
needed As a matter of fact. the
estimated exports all allow for a
liberal carry over in each country.
However, it is improbable that Ar
gentina and Australia will export
all Of their surplus from the new
crop before the middle of 1921 when
our crop year ends. Still the sur
plus from their big crops is there
and as such will affect the market.
The worlds requirements of
wheat will be limited largely by
Europe's purchasing power. 1t is,
therefore, very difficult to make any
definite statement. Broomhall. a
well-known English authority on
the grain trade. has made the fol-
lowing estimates Of the require
ments of importing countries as Of

CHICAGO. April 25.-A numbe. Of
important changes are suggested
to the membership Of the Board of
Trade by the directors. which they
believe will benent the association
although some OF the members. do
not agree with their views re-
port submitted by the director sug-
gests that the rules be amended
abolishing trading in indemnities.
IL also suggested that overspeculs-
tion be curbed as much as possible
and that the commission houses re-,
fuse TO extend credit TO clients for
speculative operations. Short sell
ing is favored as a necessity for =
large open market, and the use q,
private wires in cities Of not less
than IS 900 people is opposed un-
less the ofiices in such places are
managed by members Of the Bcard
Of Trade. Strict censorship OF mar
ket news is favored.
The Interpretation put upon the
recommendation regarding exten-
sion OF credit by commission houses
Is that IL is aimed at the acceptance
Of orders TO. buy or sell millions of

WORLDS WHEAT CROP WILL
EXCEED REQUIREMENTS
Worlds Crop Larger Than Pre-war Average.
Demand Limited by Europe's Condition.


Wheat prices have been declining
in the Chicago market to figures not
seen since the early days of the
world war. A great variety of rea-
sons have been put forth, including
excessive imports to the United
States, speculation on the exchange,
etc. A fact which is frequently
overlooked in this connection is that
the price has declined all over the
world in about the same proportion.
For this reason 1t is worth while
to present in some detail the avail
able figures on the worlds wheat
crop and the worlds supply and
needs. The following table shows a

the worlds production for the last
two crop years and the prewar
average. Southern Hemisphere coun-
tries include the crop harvested dur
ing the winter succeeding our har-
vest. India's crop Is for the pre-
ceding April. Crops harvested in
December and January come into
competition with our preceding
harvest. But India's harvest in
April hardly reaches the worlds
market until after our new crop be-
gins to move. The data for the most
part comes from the International

This estimate OF $4,000, 900 bush

it seems pretty clear that import
