Recognition of
Russia DiSfaVOred
BY Labor Meeting

Atlantic City. \. j., Oct. S.--tP)--
The American Federation of Labor
today had before it for action 81
resolutions and - special commit
tees were at work granting hearings
on many of them.
One resolution that attracted par
ticular attention called upon the
convention to declare itself in favor
of recognition of Soviet Russia and
for the establishment Of full dip
lomatic and commercial relations
between the United States and that
country. 1t was introduced by J
Shafier of the Chicago Bank En-
ployes' association.
President Green yesterday turned
down a proposal by Arthur A. Pur.
cell, member of the British parlia-
ment. to establish close fraternal
relations with the Russian workers
and in view of the attitude of the
convention of endorsing the presi-
dents action, it was believed by Of
ficia!s that the Shafier resolution
would not be reported favorably.

attracting great deal of attention. y
Mr.. Sauer stated today, "and there
is no doubt but what North Dakota
will in the near future secure many
new settlers as a result. The peo.

FARM LOANS
FEWER THAN
LAST YEAR
Average Per Loan and Aver.
~age Loaned Per Acre Con-
stantly Decreasing

The number of farm loans assign
ed to the state treasurer for 1925
will not reach the number for last
year, but may exceed those for 1923.
The table for the past five years
shows the following loans were made
and assigned to the state treasurer
by the Bank of North Dakota,
through whom the loans are nego-
tiated:
1927 ......,.......... I22 loans
1929 ................. .l1Ol loans
1?23 1878 loans
1924 ...................2O1 .2O14 Ioans
1928 GO moS.) .......... 1l2O loans
The number Of loans made has in
creased annually until the present
year. bat the average per loan, and
the average loaned per acre has con-
stantly decreased. In 1923 the aver
age loan was $3OO5l3, and the av-
craee per acre $l1.46: in 1924 the
average loan was $28S8.77, and the
average per acre $l1.2l. TO date in
1925 the average loan is $o7l2,of
and the average per acre $1O.16.
Three million dollars worth of
bonds have been disposed Of dur,
ing 1926 for the purpose of maxim ,
farm loans through the Bank Of
North Dakota, A total Of s21."5o-
600 real estate bonds have been sold.
Some Loans Already Paid
The loans are made on the amor
tization plan so that after payments
have been made for the required
number of years none Of the prin-
ciple remains. The same sum is paid
each year, very small part of the
first payment applying on the prin-
cipal. The percentage for principal
increases each year while the in
terest decreases. Mr.. Fisher states
that few of the loans have already
been paid in full, and that these
sums are reinvested in additional
farm loans. All collections are made
by the Bank of North Dakota.
The farm loans made from the
University and School Land Funds
are also recorded with the state
treasurer. Payments are made to
the county treasurer who RENTS
them direct to the state treasurer.
These loans are obtained through
the land commissioner, the land be-
ing appraised by the county officials.
In no cases are loans allowed for
more than the assessed valuation.
Mr.. Fisher states that many pay
ments overdue have been collected
during the present year. Foreclo-
sures are being made on number
on which collections have not come
in for some time.

DS the abeoSldleu Efess
CHICAGO. April 15.-Notwithstand-
ing fresh gains of more than a cent
a bushel at one time, the wheat mar
ket averaged much lower today dur
ing the early dealings. Friends of
higher prices were handicapped by
the fact that European markets
proved to be unresponsive to yester-
days advance in value on this side
Of the Atlantic. Reports of extensive
damage by cutworms in Kansas at
tracted sufficient notice to lift the
market temporarily, but buying lacked
volume, and with heavy selling on the
part of houses with eastern connec-
tions a sharp reaction ensued. The
opening, which varied from un-
changed figures to IL lower, May
1.59 to 1.59& and July 1.45% to 1.46A
was followed by sag all around and
then a rise to 1.47% for July, with
new declines later to 1867 May, and
1.44h July.
Corn and oats were relatively firm,
influenced by official announcement
that the number of cattle in corn-belt
States is only IL per cent fewer than
last year, whereas the farm reserve
of corn is 80 per cent less. After
opening unchanged to ! lower, May
1.09H to 10912, the corn market
scored an advance, but eased later
with wheat.
Oats started unchanged to p up,
showed gains until wheat weakness
became pronounced.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The cotton
market opened steady today at un-
changed prices TO a decline of S
points, most positions being lower in
response to easy Liverpool cables and
a renewal of local and southern sell
ing.
The weather map disappointed
those who had sold on private rain
day, however, and the market f1rmed
up after the call on trade buying
and covering, the latter promoted by
the weekly report of the Weather
Bureau, which commented unfaVora-
bly, on conditions in parts o. Texas.
Prices advanced TO 24.47 for July and
24.2S for October before the end of
the first hour, or about 10 to j. points
above yesterdays closing quotations.

The cotton market opened steady,
despite Liverpool cables were not as
good as due. First trades showed
gains of 3 points. Prices soon ad-
vanced and July traded up to 245
and October to 24.03, or Is points
above the previous. The weather map
was comparatively dry and the week
ly weather crop report proved much
less favorable than expected.
British Board of Trade returns for
March were surprisingly bullish, show
ing exports of 100000 pounds of
yarns and 417,000,000 yarns of cloth

NEW YORK, April 15.-Alternate
periods of heaviness and strength of
todays stock market reflected the
play of opposing speculative forces.

dustrials responded to heavy short
covering in the late trading after
being depressed on relatively unfavor-
able trade news. Sales apprOXimated
1.150,000 shares.
The closing was steady. The late
trading was featured by the resump-
ton of bullish operations in the motor
shares and the brisk accumulation of
United States Steel common, which
touched 1175s. new high on the cur
rent movement.
