CHICAGO, March 22.-Wheat de-
veloped firmness today after an irreg-
ular start. Favorable weather con-
ditions for domestic Winter wheat led
to considerable selling, but Liverpool
reported better demand for United
States wheat and said Canadian Of
ferings were scarce. Opening at a
decline to u advance, Chicago wheat
sagged somewhat, but later showed
slight gains all around. Corn and
oats swayed with wheat, corn start
ing unchanged to Sab off and then
scoring a general upturn. Provisions
held steady.
Word of decreasing stocks of wheat
at Liverpool attracted notice today
among traders here, the total amount
on hand at the British port being
only $4,000 bushels against 2,184,000
year ago. A leading authority re-
ported also that European consump-
ton of wheat is extraordinary, more
than offsetting the big shipments
afioat on the ocean.
Bears in wheat laid chief stress
today on the blanket of snow over

TIN IS BIC FACTOR
IN PRICES OF FOOD
Supply of Metal Low, and
Substitute May Be Found
by Gamers.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
acial Dispatch to The Star

cIeF1al DlSpdIcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, March 22-The visible
supply of tin in the world is lower
than it has been at this time of year
for a long period. Consumption in
the United States is extremely high.
Demand for cans and receptacles for
food promises to be extremely high
this year.
AS a result members of the Ma
tional Gamers Association are watch
ing sharply for a substitute should
the supplies of the metal grow so
small that the price would make tin
cans out of the question. Those cooks
whose most active utensil is the can
opener need have little fear, however.
Competitive cans are already making
their appearance.
Little Produced i'm u. S.
Little, if any, tin is produced in the
United States, although it is believed
the Arctic regions will eventually
yield a certain tonnage. The larger
part of the pig tin now consumed
comes from the Straits Settlements in
the Far East and from South
America. In the last year about 49,
522 tons were produced and deliveries
in the United States totaled 119 POI
tons. Some mineralogists claim the
supply Of tin is threatened with eX-
haustion Others state that tin will
continue to be produced exactly as it
has been since the time the Phoeni
clans sailed to Britain for it over
1000 years ago.
Whichever is right, the price of tin
will continue to be a factor in the
supplying Of food for the world, as it
has been ever since it was first dis
covered that food products could be
indefinitely preserved in alright re-
ceptacles. In anticipation of the time
when the tin can is no more, cans OF
very thin metals, lacquered and elecs
trically welded, have already been de-
signed and offer a medium for the
preservation of some products. Paper
cans also are commencing to make
their appearance.
Rats Ate Paper.
A leading manufacturer, member of
the American Pulp & Paper Associa-
ton, declared today he could develop
substitute cans and cartons which
would serve to replace successfully at
least % per cent of the tin containers
used in the canned goods and confec-
tionery trades. During the World
War, the British Army packed rations
of marmalade, jam, candy and other
products in waxed paper cartons
which gave satisfaction, outside of
the fact that trench rats persisted in
eating through the cartons and de-
vouring the contents.
So far, no treatment of a paper con-
tainer has as yet been devised that
will make it practical as receptacle
for acids or of liquids which require
much handling. But it is estimated
25 per cent of the products now ship
ped in metal or glass could, if neces-
sary, be merchandised in paper.

AS the first of April approaches,
there is no indication that the officials

able to compose their differences and
avoid strike.
The Jacksonville agreement, which

associates sticking to their program

However, with the non-union mines

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Value of Making Contacts.

Friendship is a more important hui
man value than making money, and
should not be regarded simply as a
business asset.
And yet the most valuable trait for
a man or woman in business is the
capacity to win the good will and ad-
miration of other individuals. Con-
facts are the gates of opportunity,
through which the parades of success
full individuals pass.
Human contacts bring information
about the requirements and oppCrtu.
mites of potential customers and as
sociations. Contacts bring. word of
favorable comment when an outsider
is considering you for an important
post. Contacts are the means by
which an individual builds up q good
will value for himself-a reputation
for capacity. for honesty and for gen.
uine interest in the well being of
others.
In this standardized age It is for
tunate that friendship continues
matter Of individual selection. Each
individual picks comrades in his own
way; some with more facility than
others. Some prefer to play lone
hand in life; others value the high
and intimate confidence of a few
friends; and others get joy out of an
unlimited array of acquaintance and
friends

Ability to Make Friends.

The man who can make many
friends in the business world is likely
to succeed the most, especially if his
work is connected directly or indi-
rectly with selling. Charles NJ
Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, has an almost I'M
paralleled capacity to make friends.
He is jovial and affable. He has al
ways wanted his associates to sue
coed.
The late j. Pierpont Morgan,
though not of the Schwab type of
good fellowship, had a unique hold on
the other bankers of his day. The
whole financial community looked to
him for leadership-not because he
possessed great fortune, but because
they had implicit faith In his judg-
ment and in his fairness. His contact
with other financial underwriters and
with dealers who distributed securi-
ties constituted the most important
of his resources.
Sometimes, men of the highest tech
nical and scientific ability are notori-
ously poor mixers. Frequently men
of meager talents have a highly de-
veloped capacity to make friends.

Industry Needs Gar.

In reviewing the prospects of fur
Their Industrial struggle earlier this
month, l pointed out that the industry
is sick, and probably needs a Judge
Lands or a Will Hays
An authorized spokesman for the
coal operators gently takes rae to
task for my intimation that the soft
coal industry is not we'll conducted.
Referring to the remark that the
industry needs a certain personality
around which it can rally. he says.
The article loses sight of the fact
that neither Judge Lands nor win
Hays have a comparable position
with that suggested for the bitumin-
Gus coal industry, To undertake
through a dictator to deal with
questions of quantity of production
or price of product would put those
having to do Herewith at the bar
of some United States court. The
antitrust acts of this Nation cannot
be overlooked in considerating any
such proposition, for the Supreme
Court of the United States has time
and again said that there are two
things component parts of trade or
industry cannot do. One is to reach
agreements as to quantity of produc-
ton and the other to reach agree
ments as to prices of product
In this connection it is interest
ing to note that after the address

Labor before the American Mining

vocated meetings of operators to
