MUCH WHEAT Sold;
PRICE TAKES DROP
Kansas Grain Expert Tells
Farmers How They "Can't
Lose Money"
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. July 25.-Big selling
movements and sharp setbacks in
price have been witnessed in the
wheat market this week Perfect
weather conditions that prevailed
much of the time dispelled fears of
black rust, and some agricultural au-
thorities urged farmers to dispose of
holdings. Wheat prices this morning
compared with a week back showed
AS to 7B cents drop, with corn rang
ing from Ia decline to q advance
otherwise u to rs off. and provisions
varying from 10 loss to a rise of 5.
One of the severest breaks in the
price of wheat accompanied reports
that the secretary of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture had informed
growers who We're asking whether
this was a good year to wait for
higher prices:
You can't lose money by selling
your wheat at a profit
Meanwhile the largest arrivals of
new Winter wheat this season were
noted at the four principal markets.
Besides, the cutting of new Spring
wheat made progress into the most
northern part of the United States,
and even into Canada. According to
some authorities, tha outlook was
that with another week of favorable
weather the Dulh Ol EoDI lIl5 WHEAT
would be out of danger.
Until near the end of the week, per-
sistent scantiness of export trade
added to the downward impetus of
wheat values. This situation was con
siderably altered. however, after
comprehensive advices were received
saying that 20 to 45 per cent damage
to Spring wheat in Montana, the Da-
kotas and Minnesota had been done
since July l. Subsequent enlargement
of export business went hand in hand
with an unofficial estimate that the do
mestic Spring crop yield had been re-
duced 81 100000 bushels, compared
with the latest Government forecast.
Drought complaints from the corn
belt tended to offset in the corn mar
ket the bearish effect of wheat weak
ness. Old supplies of oats still counted
as weight on the oats market, espe-
cially as Iowa threshing returns
showed larger yields than were looked
for.
Indications of seasonal activity in
the export trade helped to steady the
provisions market.

BIG WOOLEN MILLS
FACE VITAL TESTS
New Kind of Goods, Lower Wages
or Price Reductions Are
Battling Problems.
BY j. c. ROYLE.

special DlSpatCn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, July 25.-The wooden
trade is divided at present as TO
whether lower prices or novel fabrics
are needed TO stimulate demand. The
coming week may serve to determine
that question in part. On Monday the
American Woolen Co, the dominant
factor in the wooden goods industry,
and good number of other wooden
manufacturers, will put into effect a
10 per cent reduction in wages. On
Tuesday American Wooden will open
its lines for the Spring of 1926.
The wage reduction is not expected
to involve any strong opposition from
workers, who. in most mills involved
have been working on an extremely
limited part-time basis. In fact. in
New England, it is felt that the action
of the American Woolen Co. means a
falling in line with the remainder of
the Northeastern textile trade rather
than an effort to bring wages below
those paid by competitors.
With 10 per cent decrease in labor
costs, the position of the company
probably will not be considered as
consistent unless prices Tuesday record
a. fairly well marked decline from
those of year ago. 1t is generally
believed in the trade that the price
levels for tWillS, SergeS and staple
fabrics will not be higher than the
1924 levels and that some numbers
will show reductions ranging from 2R
to 1212 per cent Other manufacturers
are plainly waiting for a lead from
their big competitor before announc-
ing their own openings.
OF even more importance is the
intimatiOn that American Woolen will
confine the major part of its activity
TO standard fabrics. Many other fac
tors in the Woolen and clothing trades
take the position that mere reduction
of prices is not enough to incite
sufficient purchasing to insure a pros
porous condition to the manufacturers.

BALTIMORE. July 25.-Fred t
Rose was suspended as a. Federal pro-
hibition agent Wednesday and was re-
placed as chief of the Washington
agents operating in Baltimore by the
appointment of William Il. Harvey to
that position.
Harry NJ. Luckett, chief of the
agents operating in the district, came
to Baltimore from Washington to
make the change.
A general shake-up of the Washing
ton prohibition unit operating in Bal
timore is expected to follow. Removal
of virtually all now operating here is
expected, and a force of picked men
from other States probably will be
brought here. Rose charged that he
was being railroaded. His removal
was brought about by a report of
United States Attorney Woodcock on
conditions here. WoodCOCk several
days ago wrote Washington of Roses
refusal to testify before the recent
grand jury investigation because he
was not granted immunity.

Seaboard Adjustments Are

TWo-Hour Session.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 25.-In further re-
sponse to the remarkable showing in
the weekly Federal Reserve Bank
statement. the bond market was
stronger today, especially for United
States Government obligations The
Improvement was most noticeable in
the fourth 4A Libertys, which at one
time had recovered all the loss of the
week. The Treasury As and AIS also
held most of their gains.
There was, however, little change
for the better in savings bank rails.
Seaboard Bonds Strong.
In the speculative group, the feature
was Denver and Rio Grande Western
5s, which sold at the high of the pres
ent recovery. up to . noints on the
week. Present estimates are that the
road will earn in 1925 at the rate of
SO per cent on these general mortgage
bonds, ON which nothing is now be-
ing paid.
Seaboard adjustments approached
80, adding to the weeks gain of
around 3 points. Other Seaboard
bonds did little. Missouri Pacific 6s
and general As were a shade higher,
as were st. Louis San Francisco ad-
justments.
Foreign Group Firm
Foreign bonds were firm with frac-
tional advances in Seine Is, Czecho-
slovak SIS, Prague 712s and Hun
garian 71as
In connection with the strength in
the st. Paul junior bonds the report
was that Il new reorganization com
mittee was to be formed with repre-
sentatives from Western States.

A tree in the West Indies, known
to the natives as the hyahya, yields
from its bark and pith a juice richer
and thicker than cows milk. The
people who live where the hyahya
grows use it's juice as we do milk.
The tree when full grown is almost 40
feet high and IS inches in circum-

Purpose of Politicians.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is the purpose of politicians to
convince their constituents, real and
prospective, that. what ever is wrong,
high prices of wheat, corn and hogs
are wrong because they are result
of a base conspiracy to deceive and
exploit. Lower prices of various in
dustrial products are wrong for the
same reason. Under the present So
cial, economic and political conditions
there is no such thing as legitimate
prosperity or honesty except on the
part of those who illuminate about dis
honesty, trickery and exploitation.
