Mr. Hoover will sign the farm bill until the deben-
ture clause which he has openly and powerfully attacked
has been removed To say that the tariff BILL has been
knocked together by log rolling methods in line with his
proposal of limited revision would be absurd
here is IN congress unconceaed desire to embar-
rass the president by laying before him tariff and farm re-

sign but which contain provisions which, be consistent
would force him to exercise the power

HEAVY SELLING

MART OPENING
Reported Good Rains Over
Corn Belt Send This
Grain Lower.

BN United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Heavy selling
in all deliveries in the wheat pit
this morning forced the market
sharply lower than the previous
close. Corn fell heavily with wheat
due to reported good rains over the
belt. Oats dropped fractionally with
the major grains.
At the opening wheat was down
rs to 90 cents, corn was lower rs
to Az cents and oats was z to q
cent down. Provisions were slightly
lower.
Private crop estimates to be given
to the Board of Trade this morning
are expected to show much lower
yield to wheat than have previously
been given. Liverpool closed for the
holiday much lower than expected.
Some rain was reported in the
American north est last night, but
none in Canada.
Heavy buying in December corn
here Thursday on drought reports
from the belt, but the viewpoint
will probably be changed during to-
days session on account of heavy
rains in Iowa and northern and
central Illinois Thursday night.
The crop situation or oats is
fairly we'll known, but it is expected
that today's report will show the
crop to be smaller than expected.

BY Thomson & NfcKinnonl

NEW YORK, Aug. From time
to time reference has been made
to the excellent sponsorship enjoyed
by a long list of the best grade of
securities which prompts me to
again draw attention to the views
of some of our foremost bankers.
Not until loans from outside sources
alone have reached approximately
S12.O00,OO0,O0O would the maximum
potential expansion be reached ac-
cording to one banking institution,
while one Of our most eminent New
York bankers expressed the view
that he was more than ever con-
WINGED that prosperity in the United
States would continue undated.
Nor are banking sources at all re-
luctart to express views on current
credit situation. Judging from these
We have already passed the month
end tension and a drop in the de-
mand loan rate is anticipated for
today. Most significant, however,
is the view generally held in bank
ing circles that the reserve has be-
gun to accumulate bills in order to
relieve the money situation in an
ticipation of the commercial and
agricultural fall credit demand.
With such assurance from COM
petent authorities, it is indeed diff
cult to restrain ones enthusiasm

", & |, {, RAIL
LINE CONTROL
Transferred
Eastern Trunk Roads Seek
Route to Complete
Mercer Plan.

By ScriDps-HOrGrd NejcSpGpcr Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug Control
Of the Wheeling & Lake Erie rail-
road. one of the key lines in pro-
posed consolidation OF eastern trunk
lines, today passed into the hands
of E. R. Fancher Of Cleveland, as
trustee. by and with the approval of
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion and the department Of justice.
Control was transferred by the
Allegheny corporation, a Van Swer-
ingen railroad investment trust, and
the Nickel Plate railroad.
The Wheeling extends from
Toledo to Cleveland to Pittsburgh
and Steubenville. O., serving
large bituminous coal producing ter
ritory, and it is located SO strategy
cally that it is being sought by the
Chesapeake & Ohio and the Wabash
in their rival merger applications.
Stock control Of the Wheeling was
acquired about eighteen months ago
in a coup by o. P. Van Sweringen
of Cleveland, acting for the Nickel
Plate, Baltimore 6 Ohio and New
York Central railroads. The Inter-
state Commerce Commission last
March held that the new Wheeling
ownership constituted a violation
Of the Clayton antitrust law and
directed that the three roads diveSt
themselves of their holdings.
Nickel Plate Keeps Share
The New York Central and the
Baltimore & Ohio promptly sold
their stock to the Allegheny cor
poration, while the Nickel Plate held
its share and sought permission to
acquire complete control.
The trust agreement approved by
the commission is a temporary ar
rangement, to continue until such
time as the commission decides what
action it will take on the final allo-
cation of the Wheeling. Provision
is made. however, that if neither
the Chesapeake nor the Nickel Plate
are to be given control, the Wheel
ing must be sold within one year
after a final decision is made.
The agreement has the effect Of
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission even more authority over
the eastern railroad reallocation
proposals than at present and COM
plete authority over the ALLEGATION
of the Wheeling.
Solves Commission Problem
The ruling accomplishes, accord
ing to the commission, what it
sought in the Clayton antitrust pro-
ceedtngs, and, in addition, "offers for
the present a practical solution Of
the problem OF satisfactory comph-
ance with our orders under exist
ing conditions. and, ultimately, the
release of the stock under our super
vision"
In addition, the agreement elin1i-
mates the necessity of the L G. c.
going to court to test whether own
ership of supplementary and stra-
tegic railroads is a violation Of the
Clayton act. At the same time, the
Van Swelingen interests avoid open
conflict with the commission.
