GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, March 7 P1-Delivery OF
wheat led to lively all around ad-
vance today in values here. July es-
tb bblished a new high record for the
season. Houses with European con-
nections did much of the buying and
talk was current that Germany must
import 6OOO0,OOO bushels of wheat or
rye before German new crops are
available.
closing quotations on wheat were
strong, 11sc to 2Ac net-higher, with
corn at Ac decline to 1sc ad tance, oats
unchanged to B0Ac off and provi-
sions v.srying from SC setback to an
equal gain. e
Foreigners who previously were on
the selling side of the wheat market
appeared to be reversing position on a
large scale. One Of the reasons given
Was that traders short of wheat to fill
Chicago March contracts have found
themselves in somewhat of a predica-
ment, surplus stocks now consisting
chiefly of spring wheat, the bulk OF
which will not be available in chicago
until lake navigation opens. Resulting
premiums for wheat ready to be utll-
lied at once were thus a good deal
responsible for today's Tightening up
of prices of March delivery and for
general Strengthening of the market as
a whole. There was also considerable
notice taken of the fact that mill feeds
were today bringing highest prices
since the World war.
A feature of the sudden upward
swing of the market was forced execu-
/ ton of numerous standing orders tc
stop losses at various liked limits.
Meanwhile unfavorable crop reports
from the central west, together with
lack of rain southwest were contribut-
ing bullish factors. One authority
wired that practically all wheat around
Springfield, ILL.,, showed deSd tor
growth, but that it was impossible al
present to determine what proportion
: of wheat has roots yet alive.
Throughout the day the corn marke'
was inclined to drag. Much OF the
selling which took place looked like
adjustment of accounts so as to pre-
pare for any surprise tomorrow in the

RUBBER PRICES
FORCED DOWN
BY PRODUCERS

LONDON, March QP-Bears had
field day in the rubber market,
knocking several points off rubber
stocks on the stock exchange and
in Mincing Lane forcing the price OF
spot rubber down to an even shilling.
This is the lowest level for the
commodity since 1924
The market steadied towards the
close. Experts said the selling was
over stimulated by reports from
Singapore that There was strong
sentiment among producers in the
straits settlements favoring the re-
moval OF restrictions on rubber ex-
ports.
Belief that similar opinion is held
by the rubber industry in Ceylon
accentuated this situation.
Evidences of dissatisfaction with the
present restrictions continued to
come from the Orient The East
Ceylon Estates Proprietors association
which represents virtually all the
rubber producing islands under Euro
pean ownership in Ceylon, proposed
that unless the existing restrictions
can be applied effectively to all
countries, a system OF the control
OF supplies be substituted
The association believes that this
could be brought about by levying
special export duty on all rubber
and using the money thus obtained
to purchase rubber from producers
when the market price falls too low.
The rubber thus purchased would
be used to meet market needs IN
case CT a scarcity.

a loan. He said he could see no rea-
son why he as, personal and family
friend could not make the loan but
that Swayne would have to guarantee
it.
Swayne replied suggesting that the
amount be $4,000 instead of the
amount mentioned by Bley and saying
more could be paid later if necessary
A few days later Bley notified Swt yne
that the amount must be $4,000 and

Sonally.

the loaning to him OF

The kilograms showed that Bley was
in close touch with shipping board
matters, one of them relating to

by Stanley Dollar. Swayne .at the same

U. S. GRAND JURY
PROBES LOAN TO
BOARD MEMBER

WASHINGTON, March Z P-Fed-
eral grand jury investigation into a
loan of $4,000 to W. S. Hill, former
member of the shipping board, by
Joseph l.. Bley, representative OF west
coast shipping interests and the op-
position of Hill and Commissioner P.
S. Teller to the boards program for
the sale of Fhcific coast lines, is being
made to determine if there was a con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
The grand jury action became
known today when Assistant District
Attorney Connolly obtained the sig
nature of Justice Frederick L. Siddons,
in the District of Columbia Supreme
court to an order impounding 89' tele-
grams that pnssed between Bley and
persons outside of Washington the
governments petition for the order said
the grand jury was investigating the
shipping board controversy on allega-
tions that the conspiracy section OF
the criminal code had been violated.
The controversy grew out of the
plan of the shipping board to sell the
west cohst lines under a tlve-year
guaranteed operation plan. Hill and
Teller insisted that the guarantee
should be for 10 years.
In it's petition the government sum-
married. the SO kilograms, some OF
which referred to a loan of $4,000 and
others to opposition to the shipping
board program. In August, 1927, Bley'

COMMISSION Err
OF TEXAS LABOR
o. KS BOX BILL

WASHINGTON March R9--An
exodus Of American laborers from
Texas forced by an influx OF Mexican
workers, was described to the house
immigration committee today hy
Charles Mckinney, OF Austin, Texas
state commissioner OF labor in urging
favorable action upon the Box bin
to restrict immigration from western
hemisphere countries.
Along with Mckinney, who declared
that Mexican laborers with lower
standards of living gradually were
driving the Americans from Texas,
appeared DR.. Harry II. Laughlin, Of
New York, biologist with the Car
negie institute DR.. Laugnlin pleaded
for an amendment to the immigration
laws which would permit only white
immigration. W
The Texas commissioner testified
that not only American laborers but
tenant farmers we're being. driven
from Texas by the gradual encroach-
ment of the MeXicans.
The MexicanS' activities were
mot restricted to common labor, he
declared, but as soon as he could
qualify he took up various semi
professional tasks. Reverting to the
living conditions OF the Mexicans, he
said large families frequently occupied
one room novels in which American
workingmen would not live. Large
absentee landlords in Texas, he de-
clared, frequently made conditions on
their ranches such that the Amer
leans, either white or negro, would
not remain there. ss
He explained that the Mexican
usually was kept deeply in debt Of
the landlord, buying his supplies nt
colnmissary at which he obtained
credit. These debts, ne added, RIVER
were permitted to be entirely paid
The Texan expressed the belief that
there was ample American labor to
take the place of the MexicaIls,
estimating the present number Of
unemployed in San Antonio alone at
5000.
Organized labor in Texas urani-
mously is in favor OF the passage Of
the BOX bill, the labor commissioners
said.
Mckinney said little credence was
to be placed in labor statements uf
chambers OF commerce.
"The ideal labor situation pietuTed
by a chamber OF commerce." he said,
"would have three gangs OF laboFers,
one leaving a job, a second at work
and another on its way. They are
interested in cheap labor" VA
Z DIR. Laughlin, viewing the problem
from a racial standpoint, declared
that the American was essentially an
European race, while the MexicaIis
were mixed breed Of Spanish
Indian and a certain amount cf
negro blood.
