NEW YORK.-Weston B. Estes,
formerly a captain in the United
States Army Intelligence Service,
who was a prisoner of the Bolshevik
government of Russia for more than
a year in 1920 and 1921, delivered a
speech gefore the Women's Republi-
can Cub yesterday, in which he said
that there was approximately $780,
100000 in Soviet gold in Wall street.
The gold influx during the last few
years from Russia. he said, had been
used for the purpose of establishing
credit in some form in this country,
and is largely used for Soviet propa-

OFFICIALS PREPARE LOAN
LIST OF AMOUNTS ADVANC-
ED TO AGRICULTURE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Figures
just compiled by government statisti-
clans show that since the Harding adj
ministration took the reins of gov
eminent about one billion dollars has
been advanced to farmers to aid them
during periods of depression and poor
markets for their crops. If the ad-
vances of the Federal Farm Loan Blu
reau which began to operate in 1917,
are included the farmers have been
aided more than $1,500000,000
From January 4, 1921, when it was
revived. until March IS the War Gil
nance Corporation made advances OF
$513, 067 1862 to farmers and live stock
associations.
The War Finance Corporation has
a revolving fund of $500,000000. That
fund is turned over and over and as a
result is practically inexhaustible
Since it was revived in 1921 the loans
of the War Finance Corporation for
aiding exporters and financing crops
until they could be marketed have
been as follows: To exporters, So
1872, 608: to cooperative marketing as
sociations, $190,589,634; to banking

During the Harding administration
about $500,000,000 has been advanced
by the farm loan banks. Under the
Lenroot-Anderson law passed at the
last session of congress loans to farm
ers will be greatly increased through
the farm loan banks.

from.
Trapped By Victim.
Davis is known to have correspond
ed with dozens of women. All of the
marriages concerning which the police
have definite knowledge were the re-
suit of correspondence developing
from a matrimonial bureau agency.
Following the publication of the I'M
usual circumstances concerning his ar
rest, which came about after he re-
turned to Wilkes Barre to marry one
of his own wives" thinking her to
be another woman, letters began to
pour into Wilkes-Barre police head
quarters from all parts of the East.
When first arrested Davis was
quite laxative, now he has little to
say. At first he announced that his
father was a minister of the gospel
and that he himself is college grad
uate.

FARM CROP PRICES
ARE SLOWLY RISING
WALLACE SAYS PRODUCTION
COSTS MUST BE CUT. COT
TON OUTLOOK BRIGHT.

Farmers must cut production costs
if they are to have profitable year,
Secretary OF Agriculture Wallace adj
vises. Farmers who produce efficient
" have at least a chance this year, he
said, while those who are too far down
the scale in efficiency will hardly find
salvation in cheap credit, cheap trans
portation, cooperative marketing,
tariffs, price fixing or all of them
combined.
Uniformed men appear to feel that
not more than two major farm prod
ucts are likely to be expanded this
year at profit" said Mr.. Wallace
These are cotton and possibly sheep.
Production of wheat, beef, cattle,
hogs, eggs, dairy products, potatoes
fruit, and tobacco has ranged close to
the active market demand
Farm prices of major crops made
a small advance over the proceeding
month. Prices OF live stock products
were about unchanged. Crop prices
are relatively higher than live stock
prices, with a tendency for this diff
ference to widen. The general price
level of all commodities is slowly ris-
ing and farm products are still rising.
Exports of grain and cotton are
less than a year ago, but pork prod
ucts and meats generally have been
going out in heavier volume than last
year.
The demand for dairy products is
fairly good, but production is heavy
and increasing. The cotton situation
is strong from producers standpoint
The greatest limiting factors are the
weather and the boil weevi We'll
posted men seem to think that a IS,
100000 bale crop could be absorbed
by the market at good prices. The
problem is to produce it."
