Immediately upon their arrival here

Today's inquiry took on somewhat Of
an international aspect when it was
learned that ar effort was being made by
the grand jury to determine whetbsf
Mexicans were among the victims Of
the mine war.
The fact that some witnesses are
said TO have refused to answer ques.
tons during the inquiry. while others
seem TO have suffered lapse OF mem-
ory as to certain details, has led court
officials to believe that fear Of incrim.s

POOR CROP REPORTS

CHICAGO, April 6.--Wheat averaged

closing was unsettled at A@1Mc. net

visions unchanged 10 12c. decline.
According TO prominent expert. the
winter wheat crop Southwest Is In gen.
cral very late and likely to show rapid
deterioration II the weather in May
proves as dry as usual. With such an
opinion receiving general attention AND
with the Liverpool market failing to re-
fleet yesterdays weakness here, the
market tended upward at the opening
and displayed evident power to rally
from subsequent breaks. Increasing
storage of wheat here. however. led to a
decided setback at one time I'm the May
delivery, which went to about lie. over
July, compared with 15c. earlier In the
week.
Estimates were current that England
would take 100000 bushels of Cana
dian wheat weekly for sixteen weeks.
There was talk also that Germany had
about completed large credit in Argen-
tina to purchase grain and meat
Wet weather was largely responsible
for upturns in corn and oats. The sea-
board advised that a fair amount had
been disposed OF for export.
Provisions lacked support despite
higher quotations on hogs. Smaliness
of provision shipments compared with
q year ago was 4 weakening factor.

CANADA CONTINUES
U. COMPETITION
Refuses to Close American Sea
Ports to British
Preference.

Special Dispatch to THE NEw YoRK HERALD.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 6.-American
competition with Canadian ocean ports
Is again engaging the attention OF the
Dominion Parliament, with special ref
erence to the effect New York, Portland
ard Boston has upon such Canadian
ports as Halifax. st. John and Montreal.
The matter came up In the House In an
unsuccessful move ito confine the Brit
ish preference to goods coming through
CanadiaE seaports." Farmer members
OF Parliament scored" this proposition,
as they want competition and lower re-
tall prizes on commodities.
Hance Logan, Cumberland, who warts
Canadian ports for Canadian produce" /"
said when goods were landed at Amer
lean ports they were forwarded as far
as possible on American railways.
It was cortended II would be mad
visable to confine the British tariff pref
erence to goods brought into Canada
through Canadian ports because such
action might offend the United States.
continued Mr.. Logar. This contention
was an admission that Canada was not
an Independent country. Canada could
not claim to be independent of the
United States II she feared to offend
th At country by any action such as was
mostly Exaggerated"
John Evans. Progressive, Saskatoon,
wanted to know why Logan singled out
the British preference. 1t would have
been more consistent IL Logan had urged
throwing open Canadian ports COM
pletely free to British goods This reso-
luton looked to him like a camoufiaged
attempt to curtail British competition.

the national railways and their connec-
tions with ocean ports. aid referring
particularly to the Grand Trunk. which
runs into Portland. Me-, said he would
be prepared to allow the United States
to take over the sections of the Grand
Trunk and Canadian Pacific railways
running through the State Of Maine and
and any other sections of Canadian llres
on their own territory provided that
they made these lines part Of a national
system and would cooperate with Can
ada ir. working together as two ma
tionally owned railway systems.
In closing the debate Logan said
90 ne Of the opinions expressed were dis
heartening to any effort to build UP n
united Canada. IF there Is Eothing In
the cry of Canada for Canadians" he
said. then God help Canada" He de-
MED that freight rates from Liverpool
to Winnipeg we're any higher through
Halifax than through Bostor, or New

COTTON MARKET
WEATHER AFFAIR
Uncertain Meteorological Con,
ditions Still Restrict
Price Movements.

General interest In yesterdays cotton
market showed noticeable increase.
but price movements continued to be re-
stricted by uncertainties concerning
weather. The market opened irregular,
Z points net higher to 3 lower. advanced
about 10 to IL points after its call and In
late dealings slipped off. closing 10 lower
on May but to higher on later OPP
tions. The only feature of prominence
was weakness Of the May premium over
July. which dropped to about so points
after having been about so. Liquidation
bysspot houses and local ring traders at
one time carried May 10 points net
lower to 17.72 cents.
Tho market was more than ever a
weather affair. The early bulge was
largely promoted by foreign Liverpool
and New Orleans buying. based on rains
In the Eastern belt. The prediction for
to-day is for renewed rains, with a mod
crate cold wave in Texas and Oklahoma,
ana should the regular course be fol-
lowed the entire belt probably will ex-
perience wet weather In the next forty
eight hours or so. For the present most
Western sections have had enough wet
weather. For the crops best progress
clear. warm weather Is needed.
From the outset selling. particularly
of the local professional variety. was
held in check by continued strength OF
securities. Liverpool cables were not
very encouraging from a bullish stand-
point, but the English market displayed
no weakness. Manchester reported
yarns firmer and a fair business III
cloths. Sentiment throughout the day
was badly mixed. with the eyes OF all
interests on the controlling factor. the
weather. Fertilizer estimates came In
for discussion. The market had several
periods of animated business.
The local spot market was quiet and
steady, 10 points net lower at 1895
cents a pound. The New Orleans spot
market was quoted net unchanged at
1875 cents for middling. Sales In that
market were 1868 bales.

CEMENT PRICE FIXED
FOR YEARS, SAYS US.
Prosecution Asserts Competi-
ton Was Unknown, With
Trust Controlling Output.

The trial OF the forty-two corporate
and individual defendants In connec-
tion with the so-called cement trust"
began yesterday In the United States
District Court. after several days had
been consumed in getting a jury. The
defendants represent more than 80 Per
cent. OF the cement manufacturers of
the country and are mostly from New
York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Tho session was devoted to the opon-
ing address OF Roger Shale. Special
Assistant United States Attorney Gem
cral, here to try the case. and the
statement to the jury made by Henry
A. Stimson for the defendants. The
latter address was permitted by the
court. although contrary to the general
routine Of procedure.
Mr.. Shale gave an Interpretation OF
the Sherman act The Government will
show, he said. that there has been no
semblance Of competition among the
defendants for several years. Accord
ing to Mr.. Shale tho Portland Cement
Association. of which the defendants
were members, advocated and discussed
at it's annual meetings the increase Of
prices. the curtailment Of production
and the withholding Of cement from the
markets uniform code Of trade
practices" was adopted, Mr.. Shale said.
which virtually shut on competition In
important items.
Mr.. Stimson made nat denial of any
attempt by the cement men to tear down
or void the Sherman act. He said these
four cardinal points he wanted to bring
home to the court:
"F'irst-That at all times there has
been constant. keen competition among
the defendants and that Edward Hurley.
Federal Trade Commissioner. had
urged the formation OF trade associa-
tions In speech before the Portland
Cement Association.
';Second-That the proflts Of the
cement manufacturers have been ax-
tremely low. earning only Z per cent On
their invested capital in 1919 and per
cent. In 1920.
"Third-That during the war, when
prices Of all commodities rose tremen-
dously, the manufacturers price of
cement rose less than almost any other
