Govt To OBecore of the Federal Admins cation is to De Confined to Seeing That the Law is Enforced.

Washington, Sept. 8.-The passage of the anthracite strike, in the opinion of s ollciaIs today. has raised much of the burden of the industrial crisis from President Harding and the administra- tion, It being pointed out that although rail entanglements are still to be faced. tRe governments decision on policy has been taken.

 Even if the roads have the situatf2n Tn hand by some time in October it is thought that car shortage = inevita- ble. The consesus seems to be. how ever, that the shortage will not be so serious as to retard vital1y the reviva in business. It is also doubted wheth- CT it will cause a general rise in com modlty prices, although opinions on tft, point are by no means unanimous.
 Agricultural prospects remain remark ably little changed. The department 0. agriculture's September 1 cotton crop re- port reduced the condition from 7oS per cent. in the preious months figure +7 57 per cent. and cut the estimated yield from 1.449,OOO bales to 10.575.. O00 bales. The new figures were slight ly more builish than the trade had ex. peeted but not sufficiently so as to pre- NCAt p1 p1Oilt-ldhlnS. AS a result, COttp1 prices were little changed.
 Both the prospective crop and the car. ry-over are short; but a conservative view is taken of the willingness of both domestic and foreign spinners to buy at the higher prices: Wheat futures con. tinue to fuctuate slightly above the doi lar level at Chicago and these price are taken to indicate Conservative pur. chasing of general merchandise on the part of farmers
