Says Telegr aph
Business Leads
Whole of America

- More telegraphis business ori-
ginates at the Hotel Barbara Worth
than in any other hotel. regardless
of size or location. in the United
states.
This statement Was made this
morning by NJ. j. Wolinsky, district
representative of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Company, who is here
Iro mSan Francisco.
1--WE think this is fine, live
territory Mr.. Wolinsky stated.
Explaining his statement regarding
the huge volume of business origi-
mating at the hotel, the Postal rep
resentative compared it with some
OF the large metropolitan hotels of
San Francisco and New York.
The volume of business from
these hostelries does not ompare
with that from the Barbara Worth.
In those places the number of busi-
ness messages is small. The wires
are what we call social messages.
There is no other hotel in the coun-
try that is such a business center
as the Hotel Barbara Worth during
the shipping season.
Will r. Conway, owner of the
hotel, has granted a lease to the
Postal for IA dask in the lobby. This
branch office will open Immediate
ly. Mr.. Wolinsky states. A s1eno-
grapher will be on duty to type
messages for its patrons.

WHEAT DEPRESSED

Sharp Decline in Liverpool Quota

CHICAGO. June 1.--Stimulated by
less favorable crop reports from
Kansas and Nebraska and by active
demand for cash wheat at Kansas
City. wheat prices here swung up
ward today after an early decline.
In some parts of Kansas wheat was
reported as going backward daily
and one authority said that Ia coun =
ties would fail to yield more than
three bushels to the acre. Early
weakness of the market here was
due to widespread beneficial rains in
this country and to d sharp decline

According to comprehensive reports

Perforated in Kansas and Nebraska
Spring wheat prospects are very spot
ted. The low average is due to de
ficient moisture. In general, the re
ports proved to be about as had beer
generally expected. pointing to a tota
probable yield this season of about
500 100000 bushels. An exception
was one report indicating 735 100000
bushels total as the 1926 Unitet
States production of wheat. This esti
mate put the probable Winter crol
at 532 100000 bushels and the Sprlne

Winter wheat condition 100 and the
