TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, April 1s-WHEAT-An deliveries
of wheat, corn and oats tumbled today 10
new low records for the season. Liqufda-
ton developed again in the wheat market
after shorts nad covered at the opening and
had left the market without one of the
usual sources Of support The increase of
bearish sentiment was ascribed in a con-
siderable degree to nervousness regarding
European political and economical affairs,
especially the British coal miners strike.
Opening prices, which varied from I'M
changed to nc higher with May SISSY to
$1.39 and July $1,19% to $1.20A, were fol-
lowed by moderate general gains and then
by sharp breaks all around. @
Bearish crop estimates attracted consid-
cradle notice. On the break III prices fresh
export demand became evident, and had
some temporary effect IN ralfying the mar
ket. The close was heavy, 31ac to 5Ae net
lower with May $134A to N.s5 and July
CORN-Corn sagged with wheat. After
opening a shade off TO. 1zc advance. includ-
ing May at COLO to 60azc, the market hard
ened little more, but then descended we'll
below yesterdays finish.
Rallies were feeble. The market closed
weak, &c to 1Ac net lower, with May 591sc
to sos @o9s4c.
OATSIOats were depressed by the
downward tendency of other cereals, start
ing 1s@Ac to Hc up. July 40c to 401sc and
later scoring material losses.

London. Nov. 22.-Unless the Uni

avert the financial catastrophe which

umnS this morning.
The newspaper regards the limita-

it discussion Of finance with the re-
mark that il is hoped the American
people will display equal courage and

America alone can stabilize credit

no one for moment imagine
that Germany is able to pay 100000
600 gold marks on January Is. the
editorial continues. In the event Of
her failure to do the difficulties TO
French finance may prove insuper-
able. and If France follows Germany
into bankruptcy the crash may well
bring down the whole ediiice Of Flu

I'm such an event the United
States will suffer incalculablo losses.
The only way out is for America TO
observe the precedent set by the
Bank of England when it saved
American credit in a minor crisis
by drawing gold from all the world
to loan where it was most needed.

Germany fail to pay, France may

RAILWAY INQUIRY
MOVING SLOWLY
Many Questions for Julius kruttsch-
nitt-Cross Examination Will
Be Conducted by Chairman
Cumnins Of Committee
Today.

Washington, May 12.-During a
long and vigorous cross examina-
tion before the senate interstate
commerce committee today Julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board
of the Southern Pacific railroad
held firmly to the views he had
given in direct testimony as to the
causes Of the financial pighs of the
railroads Of the country.
Expenditures for labor, fixed par
TALLY or wholly by government &C
tion, are too high and must be re-
duced, Mr.. Kruttschnitt reiterated
in reply to questions from members
of the committee which is investiga-
ting the whole situation. Present
revenues as affected by recent rate
advances are entirely justified, he
added, and must be sustained.
Arguments and inquiries by SEN
ators designed to bring out the
views of the witness as to whether
lower freight rates in particular
might bring the roads more business
and thus increase profits out of
smaller tolls met not the slightest
encouragement from the railroad
director.
Senator Poindexter, Republican,
Washington, said that many com
plants were being voiced because
of the "slowness of action by the
railroad labor board in : deciding
complaints" and Mr.. Kruttschnit,
agreed that his was a difficult factor
Chairman Cummins withheld hi:
own examination of the witnesse.
