Three ISSUES
FACE CONGRESS
Problems of Farms, Floods,
Cotton Pending.
BY G. ]. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Farm
relief, flood control of the Mis-
sissippi tributaries and cotton trad
ing will be three of the problems to
confront the December session of
Congress, Senator Caraway of Ar
kansas said today.
Caraway is hopeful that the next
session will formulate a farm relief
program that finally can be adopted
and put into effect.
Congress must act when 80 per
cent of the producing element of
the Nation is in such desperate
straits" the Senator said.
Caraway intends to urge extension
of Mississippi food control to in
clude the upper reaches of the
tributaries. This summer large sec
tons of his State have been flooded
and except in certain districts the
cotton crop has been affected Sc
riously by the floods.
Caraway's resolution for elimina-
ton of cotton future exchanges is
still awaiting disposition in the SEN
ate. AS an Offset to his measure,
Senator Smith of South Carolina
has bill regulating the cotton flu
ture exchanges. Caraway charges
the Smith bill was written by the
cotton exchanges, and intends to
fight on the floor of the Senate for
ending of what he Nterms cotton
gambling.

Grain FUTURES
DROP SLIGHTLY
IN PIT OPENING
Weekend Weather FavorS
Harevtsing in Northwest
and Canada.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Weak Liver
pool quotations sent wheat sharply
lower on the Board of Trade today.
Corn was irregular under conflict
ing influences. Oats lost frac-
ton.
Wheat opened e to 13s cents off,
corn ranged from Is cent down to
u cent up and oats was off Is cent.
Provisions we're slightly higher.
Weekend weather over the wheat
belt favored harvesting in the
Northwest and Canada. Traders
here were predicting that todays
visible supply report would show a
large increase i'll wheat.
Tightness in September corn is
threatening to influence trade. Iowa
had more rain Saturday with hail
in some sections.
Oats has been an indifferent mar
ket. Prices last week touched new
lows on four successive days with
little rallying power shown.

DECLARES U. S.
BEST FITTED TO
FIGHT WITH Gas
Scientist Urges Education
of American Public in
Chemical Warfare.

BIZ United Press
EVANSON, ILL.,, Aug. 2O.-Chem-
icals and gases will be used in fu-
ture warfare, and the United States
is the best equipped nation in the
world to fight a chemical war. H.
Edmund Bulls, executive secretary
of the National Association for
Chemical Defense, told an assem-
blage of noted chemists here today.
Even though a treaty might be
ratified prohibiting the use of gas in
warfare" he said, Chemicals and
gases will be used in that war of
the future"
Bulls was speaking today at the
close of the American Chemical So
ciety Institute which held a three
weeks session at Northwestern Uni
versity.
Chemicals Most Efficient
The probability of breach of a
treaty becomes greater as the effec-
tiveness of the weapon increases"
ne explained. 1.-THE World War
proved conclusiVely that chemical
weapons we're the most efficient,
least expensive to the Nation and at
the same time the most humane
weapons that have yet been devel-
oped.
History shows that the advent of
each new weapon from the cross
bow to the musket has always met
with opposition, but that these new
weapons, when efficient, have always
been accepted. 1t also shows that
those nations who have failed to
realize the value of the new weapon
nave generally suffered because of
this failure"
Bulls said that many persons
have been given exaggerated ideas
of the power of gas and believe that
small quantities Of some new gas
some day may wipe out city.
Urging Educating Public
"Our association believes that the
danger to our country" he contin-
ued, "lieS in the fact that the gen.
eral public places reliance in these
exaggerated and incorrect state
ments as to the horrors of gas in
warfare. Our people are remaining
in ignorance about a weapon con-
corning which they should be in
formed for their safety.
MANY Of our best citizens be-
lieve that war will be outlawed so
that it is not essential for our
country to be thoroughly informed
regarding the developments in the
use of gas in warfare and how best
to combat it.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-During
the last few days the public has
indicated more optimistic attitude
towards the stock market, this at
titude is evidently based on the ex-
cellent outlook for general industry
and the belief that credit condi-
tons will be better or at least sta
bilized, in so far as industry is con-
cerned, there appears every reason
to be optimistic, but similar condi-
tons dc not exist in the money mar
ket. There is, therefore, the neces-
sity for continuing cautious. The
stock market will closely reflect con-
ditions in the money market, all of
which may tend to produce irregu-
larity. However, for the moment,
the outlook is promising and prob
ably will continue so until changed
by Tightening money conditions.

In the Grain Market
BY Thomson & McKinnonl

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Sentiment
generally less bearish and there has
been important covering, but mar
ket has ahead of it very heavy
spring wheat marketing during the
next sixty days, while winter wheat
movement is still in on in volume,
promising increasing stock, there
fore although prices appear low ex-
pectations, especially on moderate
rallies. The corn market is between
conflicting influences of very strong
cash situation and necessiting stock
on one hand and generally favorable
crop condition on other, but new
crop. deliveries appear to discount
favorable conditions.

!BU Untted Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-A declin-
ing tendency in General Motors was
offset by strength in steels and rails
on the stock exchange in early
trading today. Gains we're in the
ascendancy in the general list,
ranging from point to two points.
Trading was active.
General Motors sagged "a points
to 1873 in light turnover, selling be-
ing ascribed to profit taking. Other
motor shares were steady to firm.
Chrysler recovered more than a
point and Packard improved frac-
tionally.
United States Steel rose Y point
to 1491a, and substantial gains were
made by Central Alloy Steel and
Bethlehem Steel.
Allied Chemical, like General
Motors, met profit-taking which
brought it down three points to 1877.
lLater it recovered two points of the
5s1oss.
! st, Louis Southwest featured
rails with a gain of more than a
point to 1O01s. Missouri Kansas
Texas also was very active and
strong, rising IA points to 40A
Good buying prevailed in Pennsyl-
vania, Canadian Pacific and Ban
gor & Aroostock.
Describing the market the Wall
jStreet Journals Financial Review
today said:
Revival of strength in rails in the
weekend session attracted large
buying orders for this class of stock
over Sunday. Transactions at the
start of the new week we're charac-
terized by further brisk gains in
various representative carrier
shares. Demand converged largely
on issues which are benef1ting from
the large movement of wheat in
the South and Southwest.
Good demand for representative
induStrials continued in the late
morning despite the f1rmer tone in
call money. Banks called $35 ,000, 900
in loans due to the treasury oper-
ations and an advance in the de-
mand rate from the renewal charge
of 6 per cent was indicated.
In the face of this situation,
brisk operations for the rise went
ahead in various departments. Con-
spicuous strength was observed in
several issues which have under
gone split-up in recent years. New
highs for the present shares were
reached by American Can at 1861,
up IA points; Continental Can at
11815, up 215@ points, and Sears,
Roebuck at 1884, up 37s points.
