Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE two
leading questions before the financial
markets are: First, What will be
the outcome of the latest British
move to settle the reparations prob
lem? and, second, Are the signs of
diminished trade activity at home
merely a natural reaction after the
over-rapid expansion of the winter
months, or do they foreshadow some-
thing more?
The much discussed speech by the
British premier has really left the
European tangle no better off than
before. 1t has. temporarily at least.
eased the tension between England
and France arising out of the fear
that England in dealing with Ger
many would go 1t alone and so break
up the entente. But whether the two
governments, occupying such differ
ent points of view, can reach some
middle ground seems just as doubtful
now as 1t has been at any time.
The next big development will, of
course, be Great Britain's reply note
to Germany, which will go forward
to the allied capitals during the com
ing week. This may contain some
proposal that will be equivalent to
urging both sides to make conces-
sions in their attitude toward the
Ruhr. If this happens it would un-
doubtedly be received by the mar
kets of the world as very hopeful
step-something that would enable
the political leaders on both sides to
back down gracefully from their ex-
treme positions and prepare the way
for an agreement
Baldwin Paints Gloomy Picture.
In the meantime the British prime
minister has painted a very gloomy
picture of what would happen should
conditions go on as they are. His
thesis us that a ruined Germany
would be a disaster for the rest of
the world. He has said the same thing
before, and so have other statesmen
and economic writer's. There is no in
tention to belittle the Importance of
a German collapse which might en-
tail social revolution and place con-
troll of government in the hands of
the reds.
But one ought not to forget that
many of these same statesmen were
making the same dire predictions just
at this time two years ago, when we
were approaching the bottom of our
| prolonged decline. 1t was the fashion
| then to talk of general European
bankruptcy-from which not even
England was excepted-and to
prophesy the extinction of America 5
foreign trade under the competition
of European goods produced under
economic conditions impossible for us
to meet.
Consequences of German Collapse.
1t is we'll to remember that the
world did not go to pieces in 1921
when the whole eastern half of
Europe had become a negligible fac
| tor in international trade. What
would happen now, supposing that
Germany were to break down com
pletely? England would be hit in
| her coal trade and in other leading
! lines. France and Belgium would
suffer much more because of their de-
pendence upon reparationS. The
French cannot be made to see that
! their own fortunes are interwover
with those of Germany. and that il

DUN'S CALL BUSINESS
SL0W-UP BUT SEASONAL
BY the Associated Press.
lTLANTIC CITY, N. J.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 13.-Dun's Review
today says:
Contraction of demand and decline
of prices mark the present midsum-
mer period in different branches of
business. A further reduction of out
put in basic industries also is wit
messed, and there Is sharp contrast
between the slowing down process
now and the noteworthy expansion Of
the first quarter Of the year. The
chanse, however, is not unnatural ac-
tivities invariably diminishing at this
season, and confidence still prevails
In many quarters. While new buying
has clearly abated, with many re-
quirements covered by the previous
heavy purchasing. potential needs
remain large and the absence of ex-
cessiye accumulation of goods is a
favorable augury.
Various statistical measures show
that transactions continue of sub
stantial volume in the aggregate, and
there is no precedent for the total of
car loadings reported for the end of
June. The remarkable freight move
ment represents orders placed some
time ago, rather than current busi-
ness, but 1t affords unmistakable evil
dence of the decisive industrial re-
vival that has occurred this year.

WEEK IS HISTORIC
IN WHEAT MARKET
Price Below Dollar for First
Time Since 1914-Corn
Values Lifted.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 14.-History was
made in the wheat market this week,
pre-war price levels being attained
regardless of cost of production. All
deliveries of wheat reached the low
est price record for any July sincs
1914, and the principal delivery, Sep
tember, dropped to sSss, leaving the
dollar sign virtually a reminiscence.
Arrival in Chicago of the first of the
new 1923 crop. together with stop
page of a scare about possible dam
age by black rust, had much to do
with the collapse OF values. Com
pared with a week ago wheat this
morning was 3B to SA lower, corn
at Is to advance, oats IL to 5s off
and provisions 10 to 81 down.
1t was in a sudden furry near the
close of one days trading that the
wheat market first tumbled as low
as 81 a bushel. Dealers became i'm.
bued with the idea that an unwieldy
influx of new winter wheat here
cago had of late been the highest
market in the country. Simultane-
ouSly, cool wave had overspread the
northwest and almost put an end
to fears which had prevailed that
black rust was likely to destroy a
big portion of the spring crop. Hasty
selling out by owners Of wheat left
the market so weak that below-dol-
lar prices next day were inevitable.
Rallies which subsequently took
place in the wheat market were ap-
parently lacking in force. Leading
traders contended that this was large
ly due to recent legislation intended
to regulate exchanges. Instead, the
effect of the legislation was said to
have been the paralysis of the great
er part of speculative demand that in
the past had carried at harvest time
and at other critical junctures the
burden of as much as. 100000. 900
bushels of wheat.
Scarcity of old corn. together with
damage to the new crop in Texas and
Oklahoma. lifted corn values and
helped sustain the oats market
-Provisions went down, in line with
hog values

AROUND NIAGARA
Police Unable to Locate
Man Floating to Death

Niagara Falls, n. ", Feb. 2t.-A
LaSalle woman caused furore here
yesterday when she reported to police
headquarters by telephone that a man
was floating down the Niagara river
toward the cataract on cake of ice
and was signaling for help.
Police automobiles were sent along
the American shore and word was tel
ephoned to the Canadian side, asking
officers there to scan the river for the
imperiled man. Il.
For an hour officers scurried up
and down the river road and field
glasses were used in an effort to locate
the distress signals.
The woman, the police said. either
was deceived by a piece of driftwood
in the current or. il she did see man.
he was washed into the river and
drowned. The police were inclined to
think the woman was mistaken.
