WHEAT PRICE LOWER

Bears Point Out Exports Average

CHICAGO, March 28.-ADespite
big decrease in wheat on ocean
passage, and Notwithstanding conse
quent price upturns at the start,
wheat today soon underwent a sag.
Bears made much of assertions that
United States wheat exports are av.
eraging only about half what the SUR
plus would permit. Starting at 1s to
1a advance. wheat receded to well be-
low Saturdays finish. Corn, oats and
provisions also were easier. corn open
ing unchanged to rs up, but then de-
clining.
In contrast with hope in some quar-
ters that end-of-the- season wheat
exports from this country would prove
liberal. it was pointed out today that
during the last month total shipments
to foreign countries have been less
than 100000 bushels week.
Furthermore, according to current
estimates the domestic surplus will
allow shipments of 100000 bushels
a week between now and July /, and
yet provide for an average carryover.
Inasmuch as the 1927 domestic
wheat harvest win be under way in
less than three months, some trade
leaders We're contending that price
declines appeared acertain unless ex-
ports assume much larger proportions
or the growing grain meets with de-
cidedly serious damage.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Getting a Job by Mail.

Over the long pull, an individual is
likely to get what he deserves in the
world of business, but many are i'm
peded on the road to progress by
mannerism and Embellishments. An
inability to get the employers view
point handicaps many job seekers. In
disposing OF your own services, you
can be enormously helped by mer-
chandising skill. Even in answers to
help wanted advertisements, there is
a wide diversity as to skill and in
genuity shown by applicants.
An advertising expert, who has
made close study of replies to want
ads, warns against clever, as opposed
to straightforward, natural letter of
application. After long observation
concerning the wrong and the right
way to apply for job by mail in an
swer to an advertisement, he formu.
lated the subjoined eight rules in
Printers Ink:
BE yourself;sbe moderate in your
claims; be natural when you make
them; never be fresh; never try to-
make an impression by an unusual
trick of approach; take time over the
letter-don't just dash it off; go over
your letter before mailing it to see
IL 1t contains loose statements or gives
a wrong impression Of you; radiate
sincerity, not anxiety.
One Bad Example.
In replies to a single want adver-
tisement, the advertising executive
found examples of q variety of wrong
types Of letters.
The letter which is merely unusual"
is usually unproductive For instance:
II don't know how to talk very loud
about myself. / don't know how to
brag. I don't know how to be a four
fiusher or a welcher. I'm square"
The subjoined horrible example of
the facetious letter was quoted: Have
had experience on both sides of the
fence, guilty of the atrocity of a col
lege education and am quite success
full, well established as a leader in
another field, and though not mem
ber. of the overnight financially in
dependent club, l find my prospects
very limited"
The boastful: II am q years old,
single, full of pep and rarin' to go.
What have your
The banal: II desire to apply for the
position as advertised. The three
words in your advertisement, Please
write us" appealed to me and to be
candid, these three words caused me
to apply"
The writer of successful letter
of application is likely to be the one
who gets the employers viewpoint,
who relates simply why it would be
A good move for the concern to hire

Political Influence. Factor.

Another fdctornin connection with
foreign loans has been the political
influence. Bankers have deferred to
the request of the State Department
that they submit foreign government
loans to give. the administration an
opportunity to express disapproval.
| In this connection, the immediate issue
is whether the offer of the French
treasury to pay the current interest
ion its debt to Washington without
accepting the Mellon-Berenger agree
ment will raise the barriers which
English and American politicians
have placed on loans to the French
| government. Apparently, the block.
ade is not to be raised at present, de-
spite the ingenuity of the Poincare
government in rehabilitating it's credit
without direct aid from New York or
| London.
! At this late stage in the cycle of
bull speculation in Wall Street, the
risks of entering the speculative
whirlpool at current high levels are,
| of course, proportionately heightened.
! The price structure recently has
shown twosided character.
AS one operator stepped from the
| trading floor of the New York Stock
Exchange he picturesquely remarked:
The bears get licked and the bulls
| get scared
There is recurrent human ten
dency in the financial district to fix
| beacon lights to guide the mariners
| in the sea of speculation. The newest
of these landmarks Is the proposed
meeting of the directors of the United
States Steel Corporation late in April,
when presumably they will take action
| in determining the cash dividend rate
| on the increased array of stock which
will be outstanding, after the melon
cutting. Although the corporation
has given no intimation of it's inten-
tons, the optimists are working on
the assumption that the per cent
rate will be continued. Uncertainty
| is the stuff out of which speculation
| is made. and traders in large numbers
are now taking 1t for granted that the
present short-term speculative cycle
will end when the decision Of the Steel
| directors becomes a matter of public
| knowledge, instead of guesswork.

MEN AND MONEY

/ apparently american QSpeIucuCiSsS
offer an attractive outlet for surcl@s
investment funds.
| In an address before. a group OF
bankers at Cleveland, Carmi A..
Thompson, who recently made first
Philippines for President Coolidge,
said:
| with the proper economic and po-
| litical development, the Philippines
would enjoy an era of prosperity such
as has never been known In the
| world. Z
During the last two years we
have heard a great deal about the
British rubber monopoly. saw rub
Der raised on the Island of Basiian,
where experts said conditions are
more favorable than in the Straits
settlements. With the proper intro
duction of capital and the settling OF
the political questions, the Philippines
can raise sufficient rubber, camphor
and coffee to break the monopofies in
these necessary commodities which
foreign nations now maintain TO the
disadvantage Of the Americans and
also of the Filipino people"
Apart from sthe value of the fore
| going as expert testimony concerning
business opportunities in the Pacific,
the remark injects a note of nation
alism into the question OF foreign
lending.
Some Funds Re-Lent.
| In the huge loans of American pri-
| vate capital to Europe in the last few
years, there has been little thought
of broader national interests. Bank
ers have been willing to lend wherever
| they thought they could do so safely,
| irrespective of the effect on American
| trade. In connection with the huge
| loans to Germany, some of the funds
advanced have been re-lent by Ger
man financiers at higher rates in
South America. If the German mid
dleman added to the safety of the
! loans, the American bankers may have
| been satisfied with the operation, but
| American business houses, seeking
| current business in South America,
| feel strongly that American trade in
terests would have been enhanced if
the loans had been made strictly to
/ South America from New York
| In this criticism from business quar-
! terS, there has been feeling that
foreign trade follows foreign loans.
There has also been some criticism
against lending to competitors of
American manufacturers in Europe
on the theory that the hands of trade
foes were being strengthened
/ The bankers answer that it is gen
orally beneficial to help put the rest
of the world on it's feet economically,
! and that efficient American concerns
can compete successfully in world
i markets without attempting indirectly
! TO starve their foreign competitors. In
