GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, H., July 21.-Wheat met with heavy selling on all upturns, and averaged lower. although offerings dis appeared on important breaks. The buy ing was chiefly on resting orders and to cover shorts. Selling more influen- tial. Weather conditions southwest were more favorable, anu receipts at Kansas City and other Kansas points indicated willingness on the part of growers to accep. prevailing prices. It looks like the market might have some further setback before it will do to buy again.
 In corn, shorts and commission houses were good buyers on the break, but moderate rallies brought increased selling and did not hold. General wealth CT conditions more favorable, with higher temperatures present and in- dicated.
 In Oats, there was scattered liquida- ton through commission houses, while buying came chiefly from cash inter ests on the decline. Weather and crop advices were favorable.-Fenner & Beane.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 21.-The trade receied one of the greatest sur prises of recent years in todays con- dition estimate from the government, and prices climbed 200 points almost i'm mediately after, its figures were an- nounced. Later in the day, prices eased about 60 points from realizing, but came back again in the last hour and ended the day within q to "A points of the top. The bureau reported deterlo- ration of 2.7 points in the condition of the drop since June 25, whereas the trade was looking for improvement of about that much. It makes the condi- ton 6S.5 and indicated crop 11,934 900 on its acreage of $40. .403, 900, compared with its predicted yield of 12,144,0O0 bales on the same acreage last month. The summary of condition issued by the bureau explains the deterioration says the outlook in North Carolina is due to excess rainfall and weevil, and says the outlook in Nirth Carolina is problematical for even fair crop. It also says that the late planted cotton of Texas is in critical stage, owing to heat and drouth, and will not make much unless 1t gets rain soon. Indica- tions point to continuation of the same kind of weather that caused today's low estimate. We believe, therefore, that purchases on the breaks will prove the best policy. as a much higher range of values Is likely in the near future.- Fenner & Beans

COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, N. r., July 21.-A con- dition report of 6S.5, indicating a crop of Il, ,934, 900 bales, was a distinct sur prise to the majority of the trade to- day, as they had been looking for a condition of around 70 to Fl. Of the report, and the market advanced to the trading limits, after which sufficient realizing made it's appearance to check the market and caused a reaction to around the 27 cents level.
 It was noticeable that tremendous falling off took place in North and South Carolina and Louisiana. With the exception of Mississippi, which lost four points, the other states have ap- proXimately held their own, or shown slight gains, with Texas showing only one point decline. As it is felt that this report will probably be the best, as the crop seldom, if ever, improves after the middle of July, 1t is quite natural that the question of supply this year is again going. to be very serious, unless there Is vast improvement in the weather in the immediate future. Tex as is already beginning to need rain badly. ...
 So far, the trade has failed to re- spond to the report. In America they are still maintaining the attitute that, if they cannot sci goods, they will not buy cotton, regardless of what the prospects.
 Maybe 1t is too early yet to know the impression this report will make on the European spinner, but we are inclined to believe that we will see them enter the market as buyers In the not dis tant future, as trade has been gen erally better proportionately on the other side than here for some little time, and the European spinner has not shown the fear of being the owner of cotton at these prices that has been shown by the domestic spinner.
 Liverpool futures are due tomorrow, October 15.61, December 15.26.

Ihatf, who was threatened with

BETHLEHEM STEEL
ENDS 12-HOUR SHIFT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, January l.
Eugene G. Grace, president Bethle-
hem Steel Company, authorizes the
following.
THE twelve-hour day has now
been practically eliminated from our
steel plants. Entering the year of
1924 less than per cent of our en-
tire force of steel plant employees
will be working over ten hours per
day. and the hours of these employees
will be changed as soon as operating
conditions will warrant.
The changes in hours and wage
rates occasioned by the elimination
of the twelve-hour day were started
in the middle of August, and the sat
isfactory progress that has been
made in this important development
has been due to a great extent to
the earnest efforts which our en-
pIoyes have made, through the en-
ployes' representation plan, to assist
us in the solution of the many an
ticipated problems arising out of such
vitality important change of a long
standing practice.
while this change requires many
employees to work more intensively
on the shorter day, we have never
had a better spirit among our en-
ployes, and / feel that the additional
leisure time afforded them will prove
socially and industrially beneficial"

BALTIMORE IMPORTS
GAIN $35, 100000
Collector Reports Value of Exports
Decreased About Same
Amount During 1928.

by the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md. January 1.-The

the movement of vessels to and from
foreign ports. and a larger number
of foreign ships entered and cleared
Baltimore for Atlantic coast ports
than during the preceding year.
The total value of imports in 1928
was S93,23S,11l. the report shows, as
compared to $5S.3S5,425 for 1922. Ex-
ports were valued at 91,009,10O in
1923. as compared to the 1922 figure
of S124,S66,3 ,302.
