May SHIP MEAT
FOR USE IN U. s,
Armour and Company Given Per
mission to Export by Premier
Of New ZealOnd.

Wellington, New Zealand. May
31.-Sir Francis Bell, acting pre-
mier Of New Zealand, has declared
In a message to the American con-
sui here that no difficulties will
be placed In the way Of Armour
and company exporting to Ameri-
ca, for American use, meat now in
freezing here. The message was
sent as an explanation Of the gov
ernment's attitude in refusing to
issue licenses for the export Of
commeat to the Armour Australian
company.
The New Zealand government,
however. will require substantial
guarantees against the re-ship-
ment of such meat from America
to London, Sir Francis declares.
Referring to statement by the
state department In Washington
that the action Of the New Zealand
government in thus refusing to is
sue licenses appeared arbitrary
and discriminating" Sir Francis
asserts the action was not arbi-
trary, and indicates regret that the
department adopted such an ex-
preston in connection with the
matter.

GARDEN OF EDEN
COSTUMES NEW
FAD IN BERLIN

Berlin. May 31.-The Countess
Apponyi is leading a movement to
arm the Budapest police with yard
sticks to measure the skirts Of
Budapest women to stop them from
wearing 'em shorter.
1t remained for the Berlin police
to cope with the most unusual fad
Of all. They are trying to restrain
large portion of the suburban
population from returning to the
costumes OF Adam and Eve. At
the numerous lakes around Berlin
there is tendency to turn the
beaches into gardens of Eden"
The police made a raid among the
lakes and gathered in large crowd
CT bathers.
Tie radical press is inclined to
make the matter a political issue,
bitterly attacking the chief of po-
lice. The Rote Fahne says:
Nude dancing is fashionable in
the west end. and is all right for
the bOurgeoisie. But nude bathing
or sun baths for the proletariat is
terrible offense against morals"

TURKISH FIRMS
LOSE HEAVILY
ON AMERICANS

Constantinople. A serious effor.
to impress on Americans the neces-
ity OF being fair and upright N their
business dealings with the Turks
is being made here by those Ameri-
cans familiar with the Levant.
1T is fact that people in the Lee
want have got to the point that they
prefer to do business with any other
nation than ours" says Lewis Heck,
formerly United States commission
er here.
1T is a condition that has grown
out of our vast war business. We
used to make buyers put up their
money in a New York bank before
goods were delivered, and then the
goods sent were often not as spec
flied. Also, honest American firms
have lost money, become suspicious,
ami blame the whole Levant for the
dishonesty of a few Of its crooks.
"One of the serious causes for dis
pute has been in connection with
exchange. II the exchange wasn't
right the American house often
failed to ship the goods.
There are just as many honest
houses here as in New York. /
know Of several who have lost large
sums In the exchange fluctuations
in order to keep their word. This
is true. II you do not meet these
houses half way on the matter of
honesty, as they know local condi-
tons better, they will beat you"
The American Chamber Of Com
merce for the Levant has just taken
up a matter affecting the standing
Of the American government itself
During the war the state department
authorized the American ambassa-
dor to draw on its drafts used for
the relief of French, British, Italian
and other subjects who couldn't OBJ
tain funds from home, as commune
cations were cut off. These drafts
were paid by local banks here and
elsewhere in Turkey.
But complaint is now made that
only part Of them have been hon
ored by the state department which
now finds itself without funds fos
this purpose.
The American Chamber Of Com
merce here will attempt to secure
an act of congress authorizing the
payment.

SHORTS RUN Up
WHEAT PRICE ON
May DELIVERY

Chicago. May 31-Anxious shorts
in the wheat pit confronted with a
scarcity OF offerings and yet facing
last-of-the-month settlement Of
contracts ran up the price Of May
delivery 12hc today. Difficulty In
obtaining who at for settlement pur-
poses was q surprise in view of the
TACT that $50 carloads had been re-
ceived heresince Saturday.
Aside from the fluctuations on
the part Of shorts in May, the mar
kot kept within comparatively mar
row bounds, and kept the bulls
from taking advantage from . con-
dnuance of crop damage news de-
spite recent rains. Opening quota
tons, which ranged from 1Ac to
12hc higher with May LII to 1872,
and July 1.2sh to 1904. were fol-
lowed BY some further advance for
July and reaction to LIS for May.
Increased nervousness on the part
OF shorts hoisted the market anew
In the FINAL hour, May touching
$1.S7, the highest price this season.
Trading. though, lacked volume, and
excitement was confined to the
groups directly at interest. Tho
May delivery expired at the tiptop
price. $1.85, a net advance Of 17H
cents compared with Saturday.
July gained only hQzc net, clos
ing At $1.2Sx.
In the last hour, the May deliv-
cry climbed again, and at $1.87 sur
passed by 2 cents the topmost prev
ious figure on the crop, but with
business very light. The close was
nervous, s0Ac to 171ac net high
er with May $1.S7 and July $1.2SX.
In corn: The days receipts were
readily absorbed, with elevators
and shippers the chief buyers.
Prices closed easy at Nc net decline
toa like advance. July 64%.
Notwithstanding immense re-
ceipts Of corn, 1850 cars, the mar
ket for that cereal was firm in SYM
pathy with wheat. After opening
unchanged to Nc higher, including
July at Csc to 65Ac, there were ma
terial gains all around.
Oats paralleled the action OF corn,
starting a shade OF to hc up, July
40Mc and then going upgrade.
Higher quotations on hogs help
