GERMANY RESUMES
ORIENTAL TRADE

Berlin, March 30.-Germany is ra-
pdly regaining its trade in the Far
East, in spite of the fact that its
islands in the Pacific were taken
away by the Versailles Treaty, and
business was interrupted for years
by war conditions and the deporta.
tion and internmcnt Of its business
men.
For the first nine months of 1922,
Germany sold Japan goods valued at
S6,5O0,000 yen. In 1913, German ex-
.ports TO Japan for the entire twelve
months aggregated only 68,0OO.0O0
yen. The yen is WORTH about fifty
cents.
In 1921, Germany sold China goods
valued at 20,0O0,OOO taels. An in
crease is anticipated in the figures
for 1922 which German exporters be-
lieve will make the years business
greater than that of 1913, which was
2S,30O, 900 tacls. The tacl is worth
about one dollar and forty cents.
Before the war Germany had be-
tween four and five thousand citiz-
ems in China engaged in various
commercial pursuits 1t is estimat-

again in China, endeavoring to re-

COLD Spell,
SENDS WHEAT
UP IN TRADES
Better Tone Is Shown or
Next Crop Offerings in
Chicago

Chicago, Mar. 31.-Unscasonablc
cold weather led to higher prices for
wheat today during the early deal
ings. Fear that the low tempe natures
would hinder growth and that other
damage to the winter crops might re-
suit, induced considerable buying.
July and September deliveries repre-
scnting the forthcoming new crop
were relatively stronger in price than
May which stands for wheat already
on hand. The opening, which ranged
from one-eighth to five-eights cents
higher with May, s1.19B to $1.19h
and July, Sl.157s to $1.18h, was fol-
lowed by decided further gains.
Subsequently an opinion of lead
ing crop expert that change to
warmth and repeated showers is much
needed by winter wheat, had an ad-
ditional bullish effect. Close firm.
~ to 21s cents net higher. with Nav.
$1.2Oa to S1.2O7s and July, Sill.
to $l.17Hs.
