LONDON, April S.-Impending dis
solution Of the South African parlia-
ment is recognized here as holding
possibilities of great Importance for
the British empire.
The political campaign against the
premier has been for a long time
gaining force while the strength of
the nationalists and laborites has been
correspondingly growing. and Gen.
SHUTS at this moment fills the posi-
tion of prophet less honored in his
own country than elsewhere. -.
+ Upon the question whether Gen. J.
B. M. Hertzog, who stands for re-
publicanism, or Gen. Smuts.a with the
support, of~the British community and
the progressive" Dutch, carries the
day at the. elections, events of far
reaching consequence depend.
The Morning Post thinks the COM
plications introduced into the. situa-
ton by the labor party and certain
German and other alien influences
make the issue dark and doubtful
The Daily News says that IL labor
supports the nationalists' avowed OBJ
ject of establishing a republic, a. con-
stitutional crisis must follow which
may put South. Africa into a danger
Gus turmoil and have awkward reac-
tions in England and distant parts OF
the empire.

numerous reports of frost led to
something of a buying rush in the
corn market at the opening. today.
heavy selling quickly forced sharp
setback in prices. The selling was
based more or less on opinions that
recent advances in price had already
discounted the reduced yield which
was looked for. 1t was contended
also that much of the corn crop was
fully in readiness for medium frost.
The opening, which ranged from 215
decline to IL advance, with Decem-
Der 1.13 to 1.13L. was followed by a
general drop which in some cases
went . cents under Saturdays finish.
Activity of foreign demand gave
strength to wheat values. Profit

obstacle After opening 5s to l12 up.
