Stocks, Bonds And
 Commodities Quiet

NEW YORK, June 16.-stooks. bonds and commodity markets seemed to be marking time this week pending more definite indications of the trend of busi ness this fall.
 While some industries have reported curtailment of forward buying, produc tion continues at q high rate with railroad caroadings mounting to new high rec ords. The export demand for copper is improving. Imports of raw materials rather than manufactured articles are believed to be responsible for the balance of trade being against the United states in May for the third consecutive month
 Bankers call attention to the fact that even ii the excess of imports should con tinue at the rate of the last three months it would be a long time before the credits piled up in the last 10 years would bo wiped out. The excess of exports in tho 10 years, 19l3-1922. amounts to nearly S22 GOO, 900 900. America also holds $4.- 900 900. .000 in monetary gold, or half of the worlds supply. Market observers agree that satisfactory settlement of the German separations problem. which once more has come within the realm of possibility, would have a highly beneficial effect on business. Meanwhile. German marks continued their course toward the vanishing point. establishing low record today of .000S1s cents, as against .0012 q week ago.

INDIAN WAR HERO IS
 DEAD AFTER 4 YEARS
Joe Younghawk Loses In His Bat
 tie For Life

MANDAN, N. D., June l6.-Joe Younghawk, son of Young Hawk. one of the most famous of the old Indian scouts of Gen. George Custer, lost a four-year battle for life after he had been wounded and gassed while serving with the colors Tn France. He died at Bismarck. N. D., yesterday.
 Younghawk underwent three op- erations in his battle for life, each time losing part of his right leg, but this condition had became com plicated as result of gas effects and he failed to recover.
 The wounds which contributed to Younghawk's death were suffered on the Soissons front when he was surrounded by five Germans and captured while on patrol duty. Awaiting favorable moment, Younghawk turned on his captors, slew three with his hands, captured the other two and although he him self was shot through both legs in the fight. marched them into camp.
 Younghawk refused to discuss the fight with the Germans after his re- turn, other than to say that he broke their backs over his knee.
 Tribal services will be held over the body when Younghawk is buried next Monday at the Fort Berthold Indian reservatin beside the graves of 106 other Indians who gave their lives in defense of the American flag.

RESENTMENT FELT
 IN BRITAIN OVER Il ] ] l B B u IN C
Nation Feels Effort Being Made To Cripple Its
 Merchant Fleet
By RALPH II. TURNER Ucascd Wire to The Age-Hcraid)

LONDON, June 16.-Resentment against the American ruling barring the entry of foreign ships into the territorial waters of the United States unless they are dry is growing daily. both the British press and the pub lie are now demanding retaliation by the British government.
 The Daily Mail goes so far as to suggest that the time is not far dis tant when Britain will have to take measures of reprisal.
 Under the heading: "The Ameri- can Attack Upon British Shipping" the Daily Mail says editorially:
 There has been much speculation in this country regarding the char which Mir. Baldwin referred in the House of Commons as being under consideration for the protection of British shipping in view of the ap- plication to it of the United States prohibition law.
 The public may. however rest as- sured the British government has no intention of sacrificing the vital Brit ish interests involved. Our British merchant service is our life blood. It's prosperity is the more essential to us because it's earnings help to , liquidate ths heavy payments that have to be made to the United States for interest and sinking fund on the loan incurred during the war for the common cause of the allies.
 To Maintain Rights.
 Tt need only be mentioned that if the British empire treated United states shipping as the United States treat British shipping, American steamers would not be allowed to compete in traffic between any two ports in the empire We. in this t,ox- iet t4 h f1t~ixr such measures, but we ask nothing unfair of the great friendly nation which we have come to regard as an ally, and to which we are paying nine hundred million pounds when we suggest that British steamers and their crews and passengers have certain rights that under the comity of nations ought not lightly to be overridden."
 The Saturday Review shares the view of the Daily Mail, and demands immediate retaliation
 The new statesman sees a comic side to tlfe American position, but argues, nevertheless that the deci- sion Is in itself an offense-we cannot feel that the method which the Amer ican government has adopted In or der to get the right of search is com mendable, or even respectable, and 1t would be bad precedent If 1t were allowed to succeed.
 The National Athenaeum voices a more moderate protest, arguing that the whole question is one for an international conference.

 Public Somewhat Bitter.
 While political authorities are say ing little for publication. in private much bitterness is evinced, especially over the American proposal that for eign ships might be allowed to take liquor into U. s. waters under seal

COTTON STEADY IN l FACE OF NEWS OF A BEARISH NATURE

NEW YORK, June 16.-Steadiness in face of considerable bear news was a feature in the cotton market today. New crops led the old in point of strength and at one time showed 26 to SS points net advance. The July contract was under some selling pres sure and at best was only l7 points net higher. There seemed to be the same kind of selling in this delivery that prevailed more or lsss at times earlier in the week and most or the speculative interest was in the new crop positions. The market contin- ued generally firm throughout the entire forenoon, until near the close, when realizing developed, partly in limo with predictions for favorable over-Sunday weather This brought about rather sharp reactions. with the close irregular at decline or points to a net advance of 20 points, July showing the most weakness.
 At the opening the market was to 35 points higher in face of the Wall street failure and faVoraDle weather. Commission houses, the southern trade interests and Liverpool bought rather freely and there ap- peared to be quite bullish senti- ment among traders here in new crop positions, notwithstanding the favor able weather reports, on the idea that while Texas has undoubtedly made
  in the belt is very uncertain and rep resents a loss in condition since the last government report. It was held that this justified purchases on all weak spots in the belief that the new crops would eventually sell much higher. Although advices were re- ceived to the effect that New Eng land curtailment Is not likely to be as great as expected. there were com- parativly few buyers in July to ab- sorb the offerings put out by traders who were endeaVoring to even up for the weekend. Only a few local rains appeared over the belt. but there was reason to believe that showers might occur in the southwest. where rain Is beginning to be needed. A good maRv New Orleans buying orders appeareo here and except during the last 15 minutes of business, new crop con tracts appeared to be unusually ac- tive.

WHEAT MARKET SUFFERS DECLINE ON POOR REPORTS

CHICAGO, June 16.-Notwithstandin temporary upturns that resulted from un- favorable reports of crop conditions in Missouri and elsewhere. especially Kan sas, the wheat market today underwent a material setback in price. Dearth of speculative buying formed the chief ap- parent reason. The close was heavy, 5s to 1&c net lower; July s1.1oA at $1108s and September S1.O9 to S1.o9 s Corn finished shade to N at 1c lower; oats varying from 1sc off to shade advance, and provisions at range that extended from 7c to 10c decline to 7c gain.
 Wheat started with moderate down. ward tendency which in some quarters was ascribed to selling based on opinions ex- pressed by Secretary Wallace that low prices for farm products were largely due to overproduction. Crop damage com- plants from Missouri, however, and from other places that have heretofore been sending good reports led soon to rally which lifted the September delivery and December to above yesterdays finish. July. meanwhile. continued weak. influ- enced by spreads between July and later months Aside from the buying involved in such spreads, though, general de- mand was small and downward slide of values ensued which became more and more pronounced as the day drew to an end.
 Word that the first car of new wheat from this years harvest in Oklahoma had been shipped and was expected to arrive in Kansas City on Monday appeared to exercise bearish influence. On the other hand forecasts of additional rains Sunday over the southwest were virtually ignored after the market started down grade and so, too, were dry weather re- ports from the northwest-North Dakota and Montana in particular.
 Corn and oats weakened with wheat.
 Firmncss of hog values tended to steady the provision market.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, June 16.-During the early and middle portions of the session cotton fluctuations were governed by a favorable interpretation of weekly trade review and belief that low barometer means rain for the west. The local fore cast. however, called for dry weather practically everywhere in the cotton coun try, and the market closed up to 10 points net for the day. July closed at a range of 2777@27 79o pound and Oc- tober at range of SPA 4o@24 A.
 In the early trading the tone was very steady and moderate advances prevailed. while the highest levels were reached soon after midsession, when July was up to 2S 12c and October to 24. 62e. Here the list stood at gains of 26 to 20 points. While the main buying influence was the low barometer in the west, there was more or less buying because of the state ment in trade reviews that retail dis tribution of merchandise was increasing. Realizing by longs increased as the mar ket rose and in the late trading the good tone was almost altogether lost. At the lowest levels the more active months were l to 12 points under the last quo tatons of yesterday. July fell off to 27. .73c and October to 24 soc.
 While weather accounts were favorable,
 indicating dry weather and high temper atures in nearly all sections, it was point ed out by some traders that boil weevil complaints were increasing, and that in dications were for heavy infestation in most states.

SOMETHING WRONG IN COLLEGES SAY EDISON
On Eve Of His Sons Graduation
 Says Students Not Taught

NEW YORK. June 16.-Although deny- ing that he opposes colleges. Thomas A. Edison declares that he is convinced there is something wrong with the col- lege system, in a statement today to the New York Tribune, in which he discusses the recent graduation of his youngest son. Theodore. from the Massachusetts lnsti- tue of Technology.
 He said he got some of the best men in his plant at West Orange. N. J., from colleges. but admitted that the sixty in his employe had been culled out of 2.oOo.
 "Tbere is something wrong withs the college system." he said in explanation. 'I don't know what the trouble is: that is not my line. I only judge by the re- suits. But thing is certain; the pres- ent system of education in the colleges does not train men to think. University president in crticising my question: nares said that the college does not try to fill the students mind with lot of information but teaches him where to find it. Yet when we tried my Questionnaire at one college the students couldn't class it because they did not know where to find what they wanted.

In exchange for an extension of the limit of search and seizure to 12 miles. The Tories are especially wig orous In their privately expressed denunciation of this move, and Pre- mfer Baldwin's hint that it might be necessary to consider Special meas ures" to counteract the loss inflicted on British shipping Is but an indica- ton of the pressure being brought to bear for tirmer stand by this gov ernment.
 The Morning Post, which reflects fairly weighty opinion, declares:
 Up to the present We have given American commerce most extraordi nary freedom In our markets. The Americans have replied by continually raising the customs on British goods, to say nothing of irritating inciden- tals like this crusade against British trade and the recent interference in the time -honored customs of our cot ton trade. We believe America might respect us a little, and treat us little better if we acted strictly on the principle of behaving to her as she behaves to us.'
