GLOBE SEARCHERS
CONTINUE QUESTS
Seven Expeditions in Interest
of Science at Work in
Far Corners.
By the Associa ted Press.

-
NEW YORK. January 5.-Comforts Of
home weigh little when cast in the bal
ance with the interests Of science. it is
declared by those in touch With mu-
seums and learned societies. Expedi-
tions have gone forth from the United
States and foreign countries into the
frozen Arctic, the blistering areas OF
Africa and to the varying climes of
Asia, South America and other distant
lands in quest Of animal and vegetable
specimens and data that will add to
the knowledge of man.
Some of the explorations have not
stopped with the earth. according to
those in charge For instance, Conan
Doyle recently claimed to have talked
with his dead relatives. and not few
wireless operators expressed belief that
kindred souls somewhere on Mars were
trying to get in toucn with the folks
down here.
Among Expeditions.
Among the expeditions now at work
are:
The third Asiatic expedition of the
American Museum of Natural History.
which is to remain five years in the
orient, is hopeful of finding the 'miSs-
ing link and sure of gathering Il
wealth of scientific data and having
a lot of fun hunting antelope in au-
tomobiles.
The Stefansson expedition. which
is mapping the littleknown bound
aries of Wrangels Island, north of
Siberia, where polar bears are more
numerous than anywhere else. This
aprty of Americans and Eskimos eX-
poets to remain away two or three
years, devoting considerable time to
study fthe Arctic.
Donald B. Macmillan and his com
rad Dot

want to see the Arctic first. Their
folk lore contains marvellous ac-
counts of the sparkling icy noun

Among the industrials, U. S. Steel

point yesterday, lost that amount and

wheat was evident during the day.
Weather reports from all sections of

that the drought had been broken by
recent rains and heavy yields were

Corn followed wheat on the decline
and prices were fractionally lower all
around. Closing of the Liverpool mar
ket today and Monday with q decrease
in export business, was tho chief
cause of corn's slump Better reports
from Argentina, where the crop is
being moved from the interior for
export without any delay, added to
the bearish sentiment Of the trading.
Trading was light in the cats pit,
prices declining fractionally, in sym
patty with other grains. Scattered
buying orders held prices practically
steady for a time. but the weakness
of the market and selling by some OF
the earlier buyers pressed prices of
at the close.
Provisions closed lower, in sym
pathy with sharp declines in hog
prices at the Chicago stockyards.
Receipts were light and the trading

MANY FEATURES APPEAR
By W. H. GRIMES

On9teG FfndncaGk StGH correspondent.
NEW YORK. Aug. 5.--The' present
week closes with renewed promise Of
settlement Of one Of the great strikes
that is hating the revival Of practi-
cally every line of business.
1t is generally believed here that
the meeting Of operators and miners
in Cleveland means the end of the
coal strike. Coal stocks, however, are
at their lowest point.
THERE'S little doubt that train
schedules ara better and car loadings
for July, with coal shipments de
Quoted, made a record for that month.
Business, of course, has been ad-
versely affected by the continuing
STRIKE, but the bright spot in the
whole thing is that some lines have
made ACTUAL advances in the face OF
difficulties. Confidence has not been
shaken.
Here is the way some Of the leading
industries shape up:
Corn and Wheat.
The Modern Miller, at Chicago, says
the spring wheat crop is excellent,
both in quality and quantity. and that
production viii approach 10000 900
bushels, the largest since 1918. Corn
is making good progress and crop
a little below the record is possible.
Cotton promises less than a month
ago, according to the Department of
Agriculture.
Iron and Steel
Reports Of closing furnaces, cur.
tailed operations and rising prices as
result of the coal strike are again
the feature of the week. The steel
trade was not favored in the coal pri-
GRITTY and has difficulty in getting fuel.
According to Iron Age. pig iron pro-
duction dropped during the last Of
July SO that the total output was
2,400,045 tons, which makes the daily
average 1880 day less than in June.
Prices are from one to tire dollars
higher.
Dry Goods and Textiles
The primary textile markets here
were expected to go ahead once the
Government cotton report had helped
settle the price question. Instead, the
Government report put that question
further from settlement and buying
has been slow and in small lots. In
the wooden testiles, the American
Wooden Company completed its. open
ings at prices generally pleasing to
the buyer and the result is that many
lines are up
automobiles
The automobile industry, after
record six months business, has re.
| sorted to price cutting Ted by General
| Motors and many Of the popular
makes have been reduced. Present
prices of tires is said to be the lowest
in history.
Retail Trade
Street car strikes in Buffalo and
Chicago have affected retail trade,
and, according to Bradstreet, fewer
good reports come from the country
as a whole. July mail order sales
fell off from those Of June and May.
Hides and Leather
Hides continue to advance in price,
although the advances have brought
rises in shoe prices and retailers who
| delayed purchasing for fall are be.
ginning to regret it.
