NEW WHEAT CROP BEING
HELDFOF HIGHER PRICES
Farmers Refuse Market Which Nets Price Be-
low Dollar Per Bushel.

WICHITA, Kans.. July 23.-Some-
what puzzling is the movement OF
the new wheat crop on which the
Southwest has depended to stimu-
late trade and accomplish, at least
in part. liquidation OF the bank
ioans. The slump in prices at local
markets. following the uncertainty
of foreign buying and conditions
abroad has reacted directly on the
disposition of the producer to sell.
Unfavorable threshing weather over
part of the wheat belt has had a
deterrent effect on offerings. but
more important is the dropping Of
the price below a dollar.
The idea that the farmer would
be compelled to sell, regardless of
the price. never had foundation be-
cause. whatever the necessity or de-
mand, there has been going on an
education in independence that for
two years has inculcated the idea
Of mastery of the situation. II he
held his wheat in 1920. he can do II
now, and hence there is disposi-
ton to see what is to happen to
prices rather than any rush to mar
kei. This. Of course, is early in
the shipping season and conditions
may change later. but right now

RISE in CLOTHING
SEEN in WOOL DUTY
Senator Walsh Says Claims
Of Manufacturers Are
Justified.

Claims Of clothing manufacturers
that the proposed duty on wool will
mean substantial. increases In the
cost of clothing are justified, SEN
ator Walsh (Massachusetts), in
charge of the Democratic fight on
the wood schedule, declares in
statement issued yesterday. The
statement, which deals with the ef-
feet of the duty on the public Is sup
Elemental to the opening speech on
the schedule made by Senator Walsh
Saturday in the Senate.
Senator Walsh quotes from a re-
port Of the tariff commission to the
effect that the cost of the duy on
raw wool will amount to from 81. go
to sass on a suit of clothes and
from $2.66 to $3.50 on an overcoat.
Clothing manufacturers have esti-
mated that the duty will cost
the public "a on a suit of clothes
and. $3.50 on a heavy overcoat.
In arriving at the sum of $780,
100000 as the cost Of the raw wool
duty to the public, Senator Walsh
uses the tariff commission estimate
that the duty OF 33 cents per pound
on the clean content of wool. i'm
posed under the McCumber bill, will
amount to 80 cents per pound by
the time 1t reaches the consumer.

the producer Is in a hesitant mood
and considers that wheat in the bin
or stack Is good security not likely
to depreciate.
Farmers Slow in Selling.
Business interests hope for an
early movement of grain. for they
argue that the sooner the return
from the 10s.o0O,0o0 bushels of
wheat just harvested in Kansas and
the 30,000,0 900 bushels in Oklahoma
is turned into trade channels the
sooner they will see normal activ-
ity.i 1t must eventually come. and
even a moderate movement will help
the rather quiet business Of mid
summer. 1t Is noticeable that the
anxiety of the merchant to have
his customers square accounts and
Of the banks to straighten out their
note cases has little effect on the
producer when II comes to sacrific-
ing what he thinks will be a bet

harvest go as far as possible toward

new POOL FINDING
METHOD DISRUPTS
OIL TRADES SPLANS
Gain in Domestic Output
Leads to Abandonment
Of Price Stability.

The petroleum industry is given
TO dramatic manifestations. Fol-
lowing close upon the appearance
Of salt water in the last OF the
major proved oil pools of Mexico,
the price OF domestic crude petro-
leum IL slashed and period of
price stabilization that has been a
feature of the crude oil market dur
ing the past six months is abruptly
terminated. Why should the event
that has been looked forward to
for months as an effective medium
Of relief to a somewhat too ample
upply of crude petroleum be
greeted with a drastic reduction In
domestic price?
The petroleum industry, never too
adept in fitting It's course to current
requirements. is confused, and its
recent price action is a concession
to the exigencies of the moment.
The considerations that led to a
policy Of stabil,zing the price of
crude petroleum through storage of
surplus production at r reasonable
price-a constructive and forwsrd
looking policy highly to be c.m-
mended. although projected some
what prematurely-were predicated
upon an early decline in domestic
production and imports from Mex
leo.
Wfldeatting Method New Factor.
The calculations were correct in
spect to Mexico. but they failed to
take into account an entirely new
factor in the domestic situation.
This new factor is the effective de-
Velopment of scientific methods for
locating new oil pools. a force that
ror the time being is maintaining
production of our domestic oil
nelds at high flush levels and even
giving rise to shut-in reserves in
certain localities. This factor is
coming to be generally recognized.
now that its Manifestations are
unmistakable, but no one yet
knows Its scope or limitations.
This uncertainty. even in the face
OF mathematical precision on the
part of the saltwater invasion Of
the Mexican fields, led to the re-
cent cut in prices. Even with the
impending curtailment OF our sup
ply of oil from Mexico, and with
demands OF unprecedented maeni-
tude staring us in the face. the
decision was to take no further
chances, to guarantee a slowing
down in domestic production, TO
take measures against any chance
that this new facility for locating
oil pools might prove really for
midable.
Other factors were doubtless
contributory to this decision. The
weather. for one. was not without
responsibility. The rainIest June
In decades slowed down the con-
sumption of gasoline and led to
softening of refinery prices. Yet
this summer will see the greatest
consumption of gasoline in the
country's history, and IL r. by no
means certain that the supply will
be any too ample.
Government Action Feared.
