FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC MARKETS
CHICAGO GRAIN
AND PROVISIONS

Chicago, Ill, March 14.-Heavy
selling ascribed to bearish views of the
industrial and financial outlook,
brought sharp eetbacks today in wheat
despite export business on a huge
scale.
The close was nervous 3Nc to 4Ac net
lower with March s1.55 to s1.55A and
May S146k to Sl.463a.
Corn lost / to 1Ac, oats 1smBc to x
@kc and provisions 1Oc to 55c.
Export business in wheat was esti-
mated to be 5000, 900 bushels but with
a strike impending in the meat pack
ing industry with attempts being
made to reduce railroad wages and
with sharp breaks in the value of Sc
curities, strength soon disappeared.
On heavy selling of wheat by leading
longs. prices dropped rapidly May
falling to within cents of the lowest
level this season. Depression was en-
phasized to some extent by word that
all Minneapolis -four mills had reduced
wages except where employees had
contracts. Crop reports were also Of u
character that counted against the
bulls.
Corn and oats responded to the
changes in wheat. Liquidation sales
weakened provisions.

New York, March 14.-Practically the
same adverse influences which con-
tributed in measurable degree to the
depression of stock market prices last
week were operative again today, a

precarious position of the railroads
and the deadlock existing in some
leading industries and emboldened the
shorts to extend their commitments.
Statements of earnings submitted by
transportation companies and manu-
facturers offered evidence of the steady
decline of railroad tonnage and the de-

sumers.

Passengger Held
Ohio Hotel Man Yields
to Search After Battle
OF Wits Lasting 8 Hours;
Diamonds Found i'm. Belt
Pleads Ignorance of Law
Arrival ON Steamer Ryndam
Admits False Statements
After Rings Are Located

Aiter baggage examination that
lasted three hours on the Holland
America Pier in Hoboken last NIGHT
two solitaire rings appraised at $4,000
were taken by the customs officials
from William H. Litchford, a first
cabin passenger on the steamship Ryn-
dam.
Mr.. Litchford, who is hotel man of
columbus, Ohio, made a strenuous
effort 60 keep the jewelry, which he
had not declared, protesting that he
had brought with him nothing more
than the few articles of clothing which
ne had listed on his declaration.
g His reluctance to answer questions
and his inability to remember Incl
dents connected with his trip to Paris
caused the customs officials to inter-
regate him for nearly two hours.
Battle Of Wits
At the conclusion of the examination.
which was battle of wits between the
hotel man and Deputy Surveyor John
Z. O'Connor, the later warned Mr..
Litchford that he might be searched
and that he would fare better if he
willingly gave up whatever he might
have concealed on his person.
Mr.. Litchford then slipped upon his
finger FIVE carat diamond ring which
was appraised at $4,000. Inspector w.
B. Henneberry, who examined his bag
gage, called this to the attention of
O'Connor. who then switched his in
terrogation to that particular article
of jewelry.
AT first Litchford said that all his
jewelry had been bought in this coun-
try and was taken out with him when
he left New York, but he was unable
to say how long he had it or where it
had been purchased.
III give you one more chance to
tell the facts about this solitaire" said
o'Connor," and if you fail to avail
Yourself OF the opportunity you will
be taken aboard ship and searched"
Litchford replied that he did not
fear search, as he had nothing con-
cea!ed upon his person. Accepting the
challenge, O'Connor took him aboard
the Ryndam and, assisted by Henne-
berry, examined every square inch of
his clothing. Under the mans necktie
they found solitaire stud weighing
two and one-half carats, but this was
all the clothing concealed. O'Connor
continued the search further and found
around Litchford's waist, next to his
skin, travellers money belt which he
Mnstrapped and searched. In one of
the belt pockets, carefully wrapped in
piece Of cloth, o'Connor found two
more solitaire rings, the stones being
about three carats each.
His Bravado Disappears
With the discovery of these Jewels
Litchford broke down, throwing himself
upon the mercy of the customs officials
''I'il admit everything about the jew
elry," he said, "but ! am telling the
truth now when say that the diamond
stud and the smaller ring in the money
belt were bought In this country and
have been mine for fifteen years"
Litchford said that the hi~ ~H'i+oira

PARIS, Feb. 6.-One of Premier
Brands under-secretaries Of State,
while going through the enormous mass
OF documents connected with the treaty
of Versailles which have accumulated
in the French government archives,
has made discovery which throws
new light on Germany's capacity to
pay,
This find is q notation of an offer
made by Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau,
German plenipotentiary at the peace
conference, to pay the Allied indemnity
in installments of 4,000,000,000 marks
annually. This offer was made at the
time of Won Broekdorff's famous sug-
gestion that the Allies take 100000
100000 gold marks in settlement of
the whole war bill which Germany
owed. When asked at what rate Ger
many could settle bill of this size,
Won Brockdorff said that Germany
could pay annually sum equal to the
size of the empires pre-war budget.
Germany's pre-war budget was ap-
preciably more than 4,00O,oo0,00o gold
marks year.
This discovery is one more bit of
evidence in French eyes that the recent
German declarations of what they can
and what they cannot do merely rep
resent maneuvers to throw dust in the
eyes of the Allies. The Germany
which while ago offered to pay 4,000,-
100000 gold marks annually now pre-
tends TO be horrified at the Allied bill
for payments which in the next few
years cannot reach this figure.
Pleased With Lloyd George Speech
The French are much pleased with
Lloyd Georges speech at Birmingham
yesterday in which he declared that
Germany ''can and must pay indemni-
ties" Gustav Herve in La Victoire,
voices the general sentiment when he
"The English Premier never before
pronounced a speech so full of humor
and SAVIOR. In reading his words it is
possible to understand his great pres
tige in Parliament and among the
masses OF the British people,"
A few of the Paris newspapers fear

self as strong against the Germans at
the forthcoming London conference as
his words lead one to believe. In par
cicu1ar, the British Premier is said to
contend that the matter of Goa! de-
liveries was not settled in Paris in
accordance with the demands Of the
reparations commission, that is to say,
at the level, of 100000 tons of coal
monthly, aSnd that these figures must
be revised
Suspicious of Counter Proposals
The Echo de Paris also is apprehen-
s.ve Of what may lie behind Lloyd
Georges words when he says that If
the German counter proposals are rea-
sonable the Allies will give them fair
consideration. This newspaper says
"We confess that doubt arises with
in as when we read this phrase. If
the Germans make counter proposals
which satisfy the Paris agreement to
the extent of conceding two-thirds of

management now under consideration

"The transportation act, approved
