By WALTER BROWN Associated Press Feature Editor,

CHICAGO, Sept. TIA drought in Canada has quenched the corn belt revolt of last summer by boosting wheat and corn prices, and the personality of farmers friend has brought political enemies of President Hoover battling for his farm relief plans.
 As Canadian wheat melted under consistently cloudless skies, Ameri- can grain stocks fell under in- creasing demand, and hopes of wheat growers rose. Corn also fal- lowed an upward course.
 These economic factors, and the chairman of the federal farm board Alexander Leggee, brought all fac- tions of the corn belt agricultur- ists together here to form a $2o,- 100000 grain marketing corporation. Chairman of the organizing com- mittee was William H. Settle, presi- dent of the Indiana farm bureau, who, during the last presidential campaign, carried his fight against the Hoover principles into the camp of former Governor Smith, the Democratic nominee.
 Legge, who resigned the presi- dency of the International Harves- ter company to direct MT. Hoover's farm board, is friendly with all fac tions of farmers. His personal ap- peal is credited with having brought together groups and organizations that always have opposed each other on the farm question.

EXPERT SAYS U. s. SPECULATION
 RAISES MONEY RATES EVERYW HERE

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Benja- min M. Anderson, economist of the Chase National Bank, believes that worldwide speculation in American securities has frightened money con- ditions everywhere.
 Call money has been consistent ly higher during the past two months than in the same period last year. The increase has aver aged around 1a per cent. He says that the high price America is willing to pay for credit to finance stock exchange transactions together with the increasing VOL ume of such transactions in for eign countries, has raised the cost of credit for all purposes.
 Conditions in Europe, he says, reflect sharp upward trend m rates. The bank rates in England, Holland, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Rumania, Fin land and Danzig are higher than they were last year. The discount rate in the central Bank of Peru has been increased from six to seven per cent.
 The monetary situation in Bra gil, he states, has been acute and gold exports from the Argentine to New York have frightened money in Buenos Aires. Rates in India were higher this spring than last, but have now returned to the level of last year.
 In the United States, time money rates have shown the same upward swings as call money. The rate for 90 days has averaged from one to 11s per cent higher during the early summer, than last year Dur ing the same period, prime 90- day bankers acceptances have av- eraged one per cent higher and commercial paper one to 1A per cent.
 He draws striking mathemati- cal picture of the worlds inter-re- lated financial currents and shows how international trade and finance are bringing all countries under the same economic influences.
 He estimates that credit strin- gency in the United States might have been even more acute, ex- cept for two things:
 CD Gold imports added STA 100000 to the country's monetary gold stock between January 5, and May 25.
 @ The hand-to-hand circulation of money in the United States has decreased $261 100000, between January 5 and May 25, which has increased federal reserve member banks reserves by Ills per cent.
 In the fall, he foresees both ot these alleviating conditions at ar end. He expects England to adopt protective measures to keep hei gold reserves in London. More over, the normal increase in the demand for hand-to-hand currency between July and December i: S37O 900 GOO.

Missing Men Have Not Been Heard from for
 Several Days
ONE FIGHTER INSANE;
 ONE BURNED TO DEATH
Settlers Ready to Flee from Homes Heavy Dam-
 age Already Reported

PORTLAND, Oregon, Sept. 17.--An army of weary red eyed men stationed along the fire front in the foothills of the Cascades are watching the progress of fire which has been in a crazy laundering since Sunday, and which has blackened 1,500 acres, de- stroyed six houses, one hotel, one school house, one logging camp and two temporary for estry camps.
 The fire has trapped 200 fighters and sent one work man to a hospital for the insane.
 Roaring Mass
 The fire swept down from the Mount Hood National Forest and was sent roaring by stiff wind down the Clackamas River Valley toward Estacada, town of 200 population.
 1 Every available man in the re- zion had been called out before the blaze was stopped. Abandon Homes
 Five miles away, In the rural dis i tricts, settlers packed their belong ings ready to move at moments notice. Some abandoned tn cir homes and others remained only to see them wiped out. Children perched themselves on roofs watching the advancing flames and to put out sparks with buckets of water.
 200 Men Are Lost Somewhere to the westward, 200 fire fighters have not been heard from for several days. They are thought to be fighting new blazes or trying to beat their way back to civilization. Little fears are felt for their safety as all are exper- fenced woodsmen.
 Terrific Heat
 The terrific heat has sent Roy Van to a hospital, raving mad, all though it is believed only tenn porary fit of insanity.
 Burned to Death
 Phillip Rowe, rancher, was burn- ed to death and his wife and son were severely burned. They were trapped by the fire in their cabin near Bell Mountain. B miles from Vancouver, Washington. When the family went to bed at night, the fire was five miles away. At mid- night the flames had surrounded the house and the three were un- able to make their escape.
