EXPECT Bis
BUSINESS
BOOM
Optimistic View Differs From
West, Where Hard Battle
Is Expected.
By WILLIAM HARD.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Twe
national ideas seem to dominate
the business community in this
national business center:
There is, and there will con.
tinue to be, a certain general
slight recession in business in this
country, accompanied in certain
industries by smaller profits for
the owners and perhaps by lower
wages in some instances for the
employees.
2-In November Calvin Coolidge
will be easily and triumphantly
returned to the White House; and
then this slackening Of business,
insofar as it is really disadvan-
tageous to the country, will be
checked and controlled by the con-
fidence which the American bust
ness community has in the cold,
calm man from Vermont.
Are Dominant Ideas.
Such are the ideas here dominent
among business leaders, and they
strongly illustrate the fact that
this country is a highly sectional
country with highly sectional and
divergent points of view.
Nothing is more surprising in
New York to the returned traveller
from the West than the CHEEKY and
buoyant and almost careless GER
tainty here entertained by high
business authorities regarding the
reelection Of Coolidge in Novem-
Der.
This certainty on their part might
indeed almost be called prim and
SNUG. Their argument seems to
De that we agree with Coolidge
about national policies and that
Coolidge is therefore right and
that Coolidge therefore in November
will be chosen to be President by
q sensible and understanding ped
pie. =
O1I1eT0nCc IN opinions.
In the prairie West the business
community thinks that Calvin
Coolidge is bound to be President.
West of Pittsburg Coolidge's ad-
mirers hope to put him over in
November by an heroic and patriotic
effort. In New York they expect
MIN to go over in November like
q canoe over a cataract by the
sheer logic Of the circumstances.
BUSINESS men in New York are
going to be terribly surprised and
outraged in July when Western Re.
publican leaders arrive in New York
with the sad message that a cam.
paign fund will be needed on a
large and generous scale in order
to get majorities for Calvin Coolidge
In certain numerous Western States.
New York's business people, on
the whole, in the high regions of
local national banking and railroad
Ing investment circles, are so trans
fixed and TRANSPORTED by admira.
ton Tor Calvin Coolidge's ideas and
attitudes that they cannot even
imagine his defeat. Coolidge in a
canter" is their present summary
of the November prospect.
Meanwhile they are frank in de-
acribing the present business reces.
sion. Those OF them who sit in
the highest places do not regard
this recession as altogether a mis-
fortune.
They note, for instance, that ship
ments of coal in certain regions
have heavily fallen off. They note
that coal from these regions is
selling at an improbable price,
They expect that car loadings In
general. from all industries as a
total. will be quite considerably
smaller this year than last year.

VAR ON BOARD OF
 FOREIGN RUM SHIP
Crew Badly Beaten--4S,000
 Cases COnfSCated

New York. Oct. 13.--Rolling lazily on a gentle swell in the lee of Sandy Hook, with her crew of thirty-two in irons and her cargo of 43,000 cases of liquor under government seal, the ] seized Norwegian steamship Saga tind. this morning awaited disposi- tion at the hands of the federal gov- ernment. There was nothing to sug- gest the tumultuous scenes that had been enacted on her decks before the coast guard cutter Seneca sighted her floating aimlessly about 40 miles out from New York, without helmsman.
 When the Seneca came upon the Sagatind, just before dawn yester- day the lookout of the cutter hailed the ship, and. receiving no response, fired three shots across her bows. When still there was no sign of life aboard, Captain R. L. Blake of the Senecc. ordered his men to board her. acting under a law permitting search of vessel known to be in communication with the shore.
 The customs men clambered over the side and looked about the deck cautiously, half expecting to be fired upon. They saw no one on deck but a search disclosed two sailors asleep in the wheel house. Below decks they found the rest of the crew.
 Some were asleep, some were in their hunks nursing broken bones and some were in their hunks nurs- ing black eyes.
 The captain was found locked in his cabin, with twelve rifles and six revolvers beside his bunk. He ex- plained that his ship is a 964 ton. oil burning vessel of Norwegian registry. had left Antwerp for St. Pierre with a derelict crew and 100.- 900 cases of assorted liquor. Only 43,000 cases remained. In the ships safe customs men found s2s,ooo in American money.
 The crew had made free with the liquor. and before they were one day out, the fighting began. Brawls con- tinued all the way over reaching a climax after the vessel anchored in ] Rum Row.
 The night they arrived, the crew indulged in a drinking orgy. three men received broken jaws, one had his leg broken, two received broken arms and a score had their eyes blackened, he told the customs men. He retired to his cabin to wait for the storm to subside.
 While the captain was telling his story to Capt. Blake. the other cus- toms men had driven the crew be- low the decks and made fast the matches. The Sagatind was then tow ed inside Sandy Hook where a guard was placed over her to await the de- cision of officials as to her disposi- ton.

WHEAT AND CORN
 UNDER PRESSURE
Comparative Dearth Of Foreign Demand Causes
 Price Setbacks

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.--Attention to comparative dearth of export demand for United States wheat had much to do with a setback in prices, both for wheat and corn, today in the late deal ings. Wheat closed weak at 20 to 27sc net lower: September, $1.27H @L28, and December at $1.33@1.331s, with corn Ac to 1Nc down; oats, hc to Nc up, and provisions unchanged to 10c higher. :.
 Selling pressure on the wheat mar ket was especially in evidence whenever upturns in price took place. At the last, quotations dropped rather abrupt ly, with holders of wheat letting go of a good-sized amount. The only export business heard of in definite way was 110, 900 bushels purchased here and 300,- 900 bushels at the seaboard. On the other hand, heavy offerings of wheat to be shipped from Missouri river points at relatively lower prices proved to be more of weight than the market could withstand.
 Desirability of an active export de- mand for wheat was emphasized by the knowledge that the movement of spring wheat is enIarging. Besides, in- tications pointed to unfikelihood of further serious crop damage in Canada, and there were favorable crop advices from Australia and Argentina.
 Forecasts of warmer weather tended to ease the corn market, but heavy storms in Iowa and Illinois acted for a time as decided stimulus to buyers. In the end, though, corn felt the effect of wheat weakness and became respon- sive also to talk about imports of Ar genuine corn for distribution as far as 200 miles inland from both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts.
 Wet weather strengthened the oats market, December oats scoring new high price record for the season.
 Provisions were largely Governed by corn.
