Strikes That Threaten
Pull Wheat Prices Down.

CHICAGO, June 29.-(A. PO-
Wheat crashed down in price yester-
day. Chances of railroad and eleva-
tor strikes, together with pressure to
market new wheat from the winter
crop belt brought about selling fur
ry and left values merely without sup
port. The close was semidemoralized,
to Q cents net lower. with July $1.19
IA to S1.19 1-2 and September $1.17
to SLY 1-2. Corn lost > 3-Sc to 3
lac and oats l 1-2c to S-4c. In
provisions, the outcome varied from
zoe decline to 10c advance.
Depression in the wheat trade be-
came apparent as soon as the market
opened. In addition to impending la
Dor troubles at the elevators here, a
widespread tie-up of railways loomed
as a possibility within a few days. Be
sides, it was evident that country hold
ers were letting go of their wheat
with unusual freedom, especially in
the southwest, where the harvest this
year has been much ahead of the av-
erage time. Bearish opinions current
too regarding the general business
outlook received considerable atten-
tion, whereas such opposite factors as
| the settlement of the British coal
strike and the continuance of unfa-
fOrable crop conditions northwest
were practically ignored. The failure
OF the market to respond to bullish
news was particularly discouraging
after midday and the market de-
scended rapidly with general liquida-
tion in progress and the close at the
bottom point reached.
Corn ard oats tumbled with wheat
and touched new low record prices for
/ the season. Big stocks in sight deter
ted buyers.
Higher quotations on hogs counter
balanced to some extent in the provi-
sions market the unsettling effect Of
the grain collapse.

Announcement was made after the
markets close that the dividend on
American Ice common had been in
creased to per cent from per cent.
Call money was less plentiful, the
rate raising from > to 1-2 per cent
toward the close, because of with
drawal of 33,OO0,0O0 to meet govern
ment demand and in anticipation Of

Uncertainty Prevails
On stock Market

NEW YORK, June 29.-The stock
market yesterday followed its uncer-
tain and languid course. Early gains
of l to points later were subjected
to considerable revision.
Overnight developments received
favorable Interpretation in speculative
circles. Transportations hardened on
the administrations proposal to fund
the country's railway debt. Oils rail-
lied sharply on reports that the Mex
lean government would postpone en-
forcement of foreign tax DEGREES and
foreign exchange responded to settle
ment Of the British miners strike.
Alternate reactions and recoveries
attended the sluggish mid-session, oils
and several investment rails, includ-
ing Canadian Pacific, showing pro-
nounced pressure with several of the
obscure specialties.

More Wool Grown
In Canada This Year.


WINNIPEG, Man, June 29.-With
the shearing season at hand, it is es-
timated that Canada's wool clip will
aggregate 100000 pounds. The es-
innate made by the Canadian Wool
Cooperative association, is slightly in
excess of last years production fig
ures.
Western Canadas share of this to-
tai is placed at 100000 pounds. De-
velopment of mixed farming along
the lines of the Canadian National
railways has resulted in practically
every farmer raising at least a few
head of sheep. These small flocks
have taken the place of the large
rlnge flocks of a few years ago. AL
berta, with an estimated clip of o.
100000 pounds, will lead the western
provinces.
Last year the cooperative associa-
ton handled more than 5000, 900
pounds. About As per cent of the to-
tai clio was sold to Canadian manu-
tacturers. Under the new grading
methods it is believed most of this
Years clip can be turned into home
cCnsunpiion channels. United States
formerly purchased about So per cent
of the cap.
Warehouses for acceptance of wool
are being erected by the Cooperative
Wool Growers association at varions
! oints in the west. Consignments are
to be forwarded from these points to
the main warehouse in Weston, On
lario, for grading.

velop he British market and also tc

 The communication from Miss Anderson touched on deplorable conditions of morals of certain na- tives on Kenai Peninsula, and also bringing out the fact there are no provisions for native children being held over by juvenile judges or the Board of Children s Guardians as provided in Chapter 32, Session Laws of 1913. Subsequently this act was amended by the Legislature of 1917, in Chapter 16
 The question at issue Is morality of native girls, several fragrant cases of immoral ways being cited.
 Judge Brown suggested that the Legislature, if possible, should ere ate some fund which would be under the control of the Board of Children's Guardians to-relieye na- tive cases of distress and sickness.
 In accordance with the expres- sions of Judge Brown, the communi- cations were referred to the Senate and these were given into the nands of the Educational Committee today.

HEAVY TRAP TAX
 DISASTROUS FOR ALASKA BANNERS
C. J. Alexander Says $500 Trap Tax Might Prove
 Fatal to Industry.

Fear that the imposition by the Territory of a tax of $500 on all fish traps would be disastrous to the industry, and possibly the direct cause of many canneries ceasing op- erations, was expressed today by C. J. Alexander, until recently actively in charge of the company operations of the Hoonah Packing and vice president of the company
 MT. Alexander, who is considered one of the leaders in the tisheri es industry, replying to a query as to the effect of such tax as proposed in the tentative measure being pre- pared by the House Ways and Means Committee of the Territorial Legis- lature said that the salmon fishing and canning industry in Alaska is at such a critical state of it's career that the proposed tax might be the blow that would kill it altogether.
 The salmon fishing business is now at its lowest ebb and it looks as if already the Territory will have some canneries on its hands for unpaid taxes. The placing ol this additional tax may at this time prove fatal to the industry just when it is attempting to struggle ' to its feet after being almost knock. cd out by the disastrous season oi 1920" Mir. Alexander said. Al though I have not thoroughly exam. ined all the provisions of the taxa. ton measure, l would advise thor ough investigation before any more burdens of taxation be placed upor the waning salmon industry"

Territory First in Subscrip tions Per Capita to
 European Relief Fund.

In subscriptions to the relief of starving European children. Alaska stands at the head of the United States on the National collection, according to advices received today by Gov. Thomas Riggs from National headquarters Alaskas quota. 0. the basis of $a3.o0o,0OO for the en. tire country, had been fixed by the Control Comm.ttee for the Europenr Council at $100O0, while the total fund raised by the Territory is ap proximately s22.O0O, according to Gov. Riggs, who acted as Territorial chairman in the campaign
 In letter just received by Gov Riggs from II. l.. Gutterson, of the Control Committee. it is stated: !.
 ''1t is with greatest pleasure that we are able to tell you that Alaska stands at the head of the United States on the National collection. Easing our original estimate for each locality on readjustment of the Red Cross war drive quota down to a S33,000,0G0 basis, we had put Alas ka down at $10,Oo0O. Your letter, stating that you will realize approx imately $22,000. assures Alaska of the fret place by very large mar gin.
 Hawaii Is Second
 "It may be Interesting to you to know that the Hawaiian Island is second. New Hampshire third, Ore gon fourth, Rhode Island fifth, Min nesota. sixth, South Dakota seventh Michigan eighth, Alabama ninth and Arizona tenth
 tion and that is that the type of state-agricultural or industrial-the geographic location of the state, or the economic and financial cOndi tions, have little or no effect on the campaign. The success of failure of the campaign has obviously been in every case due to the ability. en- ergy and interest of the state chair men and their committees.
 Total Up to Date
 We have succeeded in raising in cash to date $27, ,750,000 In addition to this, we have certain other re- sources and experiences from a few states that have not yet finished, which will bring us we'll over $29,- 000,000 In view of the fact that the original program was made up early last fall, when the price of foodstuffs was considerably higher than at the present time, this sum of money will adequately cover the program laid out by the European Relief Council and so we can close knowing that we have carried on the only successful National Collection since the war and also knowing that l 1t has been done at lower cost than any national campaign that we know of. The cost has been less than two and one-half per cent. Many Small Subscribers "One interesting feature of the campaign has been the innumerable small subscribers. The plight of the European children has appealed to the American imagination far be- yond what we thought it would and the knowledge that the money was being expended under the direction of MT. Hoover and by the four larg- est relief organizations in this coun- try inspired confidence among givers of every class
 Please accept our most hearty appreciation of your cooperation and congratulations on the responses that the good people of Alaska have 1 given to you and your committed"
