Minneapolis, Aug. 3l.--(By the A.
P)-Uniform campaigns and con-
certed action demanding that con-
gressional committees report out bills
designed to modernise and make
uniform the procedure in the courts.
was recommended today in the report
to the American Bar 'Association, by
the committee on uniform judicial
procedure, Of which Thomas Wall
Shelton 10 chairman. The report de-
clared the same bills previously Rp.
proved by the association will be in
troduced again in Congress in De-
cember, and says "it is only neces-
sary for the committees to report"
Strong personal opposition may be
expected from certain senators, the
report declares, but majority IN
favor of the proposals is assured once
the bills come from committees.
The bill which it is desired be made
a law has for its purpose giving to
the Supreme Court of the United
States the authority to make rules
governing the entire procedure IL,
cases at law to the same extent that
it now has power to regulate the
procedure in equity and admiralty
and the bankruptcy courts.
The report reviews much of the ef-
forts and history of the hills intro
duced and says the proposed lay "will
set the judges and lawyers free To
perfect the machinery Of the courts
for which they are held solely re-
sponsible by laymen."
Reduce Number of Bills
The American Bar should give at
tention to the appalling number o.
bills which become laws during leg
islative sessions" the committee on
noteworthy changes in statute law
alton. The report was presented by
Joseph P. Chamberlain, chairman of
the committee, who said:
"Many of these acts should never
be brought before the legislatures,
but should be settled by the admin
istrative departments interested, or
submitted to some form of court of
claims and finally passed there. The
acc passed at the last session of Con-
gress permitting the adjustments of
certain classes of claims against the
United States founded on tort, Is a
sten in the direction of reducing the
number of private bills introduced
in Congress.
IAN extension of the principle of
home rule would avoid much special
and local legislation. but it will have
to. be accompanied by a willingness
Of the local authorities to accept re-
sponsibility. More courage on the
part Of the legislature in refusing
to assume the duty which properly
rests on the local authority, and
more courage on the part Of the local
autho ority in taking responsibility, to-
SetAef with willingness on the part
OF citixehS to make their appeals
from. NE action or non-action of the
local governing body to electorate
and not to the legislature, will help
reduce the size Of the printed volume
of session laws"

KAHN BROS. & VIRGIN

NEW YORK, Dec ,4,-Congressioiial disturbances was responsible for a ten- dency to seel stocks at the opening. This together with a growing appreciation of the fact that the market has had no re- action to speak of for the past month caused many traders who have been bull ish on stocks to turn to the short side. at least temporarily. At first, the market was irregular with some stocks advancing while others declined.
 Cast Iron Pipe moved up to 5s, where it met with fairly heavy offerings, declin- ing to 71a, which was still well above las nights closing Marland Oil abandoned its new financing program. which ac- counted for it's strong activities yesterday Although the belief that the oil situation has changed for the better was given as the reason. the feeling is gaining ground that mergers of some sort not far off between several of the independent companies. Reactions did not extend far and it must be admitted that those be- favorites in good fashion. United States Steel seems to be marking time and the same might be said of Maldwin and Amer ican Can. The most actiyS stocks are the opes in which pool interests are at work. such as Houston Oil, Cast Iron Pipe. etc Rails are the most consistent acting stocks at present and the continued strength in Chesapeak & Ohio and Erie tend encouragement to those who believe in their future. Erie crossed 20 for the first time since 1920 American Wool was steady upon ideclaration of regular divi- den. Associated Dry Goods was also in demand at Advancing prices. Chart ex- perts look for a.reaction iron, these levels, pointing out that the present advance has ia sted 2s days, with an average advance of sil points while the previous advance following the Jtiyt~lows lasted 30 days market action does not exactly bear out this theory, but 1t may be we'll to be cau- tloua for the time being.

MATERIAL BOOST IN WHEAT PRICE.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Active buying on the part of the houses with east ern connections brought about a material advance today in the price Of wheat. Gossip was persistent as to likelihood of some development at Washington that would be helpful toward higher range of values for agricultural products. The market closed firm at 5-S to 1 cent net gain with December s1.o5 5s and May $1.11h @s1.11 5-S; corn finished S-S to 7-sc up, oats showing 1-4 to 1Ac rise and provisions varying from , cents decline to 12c advance.
 After a brief dip at the opening. wheat displayed an upward tendency throughout the remainder of the board of trade session, with no de- cided selling pressure except at around the days top prices. Initial weakness was associated with the fact that yesterdays advance here failed to be reflected at Liverpool A break in the cotton market counted also as a temporary bearish intiu- ence on wheat. The impressive scale on which wheat purchasing for eastern accounts appeared to De m progress, however, became the dominating factor, and gave em- phasis to talk regarding possible measures to aid farm interests.
 It was current prediction that sc>ner or later the tariff on wheat win come up for change by Congress and it was pointed out that primary arrivals of wheat today exceeded those of year ago because of the inclusion of 544,000 bushels of duty paid Canadian wheat received at Toledo. Canadian marketings con- tinued to run much larger than last year, but a somewhat prevalent view here was that European supplies are much less abundant than recent re- ports had led manS traders to be- lieve.
 Corn and oats were independently strong. Corn receipts were small, country offerings limited, and con- signment notices decreasing. Oats delivered were being generally or dered out for shipment.
 Provisions averaged higher re- sponsiye to changes in grain and hogs.
