BUSINESS LEADERS
TO MAP PROGRAM
Chamber of Commerce Direc-
tors viii Hold Meeting Here
September 1920.
BY the Associated Press.


Undertakings of the United States
Chamber of Commerce for the year
1e30-31 will be launched at the Fail
meeting of the board and members of
committees at headquarters here Sep
tember 10 to 30, inclusive.
This meeting, marking something of
a departure from the usual chamber
procedure, viii be the equivalent of a
general staff council, bringing into
single perspective the various subjects
with which 1t will deal, many of them
of vital interest to business, and the
steps necessary to carry into execution
policies upon which the membership
has already agreed. 1t also will formu-
late principles applicable to changing
business conditions.
At the outset of the years work the
meeting will bring together the 80 di-
rectorS of the chamber, representing
different sections of the country and
different branches of business, and the
score of recently organized committees,
with an aggregate membership of APP
proximately 100 business leaders.
The committees will consider their
programs and plans for carrying them
out and the questions with which they
will deal in their respective fields. OPP
portunity will be afforded for the dis
cussion of their activities in the. light
of the general program. Specific prob
lens under consideration by particular
committees may be brought forward
not as isolated questions, but as phases
of the larger problems which confront
business.
The range of questions to be taken
up covers virtually every phase of buSi-
ness activity. Major among these are
the wider utilization of information
concerning distribution, railroad con-
solidation and proposed changes in the
transportation act, development of
rail and water routes, regulation and
development of air transportation,
regional industrial expansion, stabilize
ton of employment and employment
insurance, old-age pensions, relation Of
the Federal Government to education,
uniformity in crime reports, realty and
construction operations, assessment
bases for taxation and interstate taxa
ton.

written for the Associated Press.
Whether wheat prices weaken further
within the next 10 days or hold firm
on last weeks decline appears to be a
proposition with equal possibilities in
either direction.
The chief bearish factor is increased
offerings from the new Spring crop.
Minneapolis received 4.029 cars during
the week, and while the demand was
fairly active and arrivals were readily
taken unless of inferior quality, arrivals
of Spring wheat are held responsible
for weak spots in the domestic markets.
The peak of the movement will be
reached within the next 10 days.
Harvesting Situation.
Harvesting has progressed rapidly in
Canada, trade reports indicating that
from 60 to rs per cent of the crop has
been cut in Saskatchewan and Mani
toba. The quality is generally good,
and most OF the crop is expected to
grade No. and No. 3. Canadian Spring
wheat markets have been weaker than
domestic markets, rejecting the ap-
preaching movement of new-crop grain.
In the meantime, however, world
trade seems to have given North Amer
lean wheat strong undertone in the
matter of actual and potential outlet.
Stocks on ocean passage have increased
A, 10000 bushels, North American
shipments accounting for $685., 900
bushels, as against Black Sea shipments
of 2.576,0 900 bushels-the closest COM
petitor in tonnage.
Southern Hemisphere movements are
light, exports from Argentina totaltng
only $4,000 bushels during the last
week, while Australian shipments
amounted to but / 1872 900 bushels. The
latter was scarcely more than the
amount of flour included in the North
American tonnage. Offerings of Rus
sian wheat are increasing, and exports
from that country during the week to-
tailed more than 1000 900 bushels.>
Semi-oficial reports place the Euro
pean carryover of wheat this year at
46, 900, 900 bushels as compared with
$4,000, 900 bushels year ago.
Wires Bring Returns.
Added to this, threshings returns in
Hungary, Jugoslavia and Czechoslo-
vakia are very disappointing. The
quality of French wheat has been
damaged by rains and the Italian crop,
while moving in fair quantities, is of
poor quality The outturn in Bulgaria
is reported to be almost double that Of
a year ago and surplus of around
&c, 900, 900 bushels is estimated by the
trade for Rumania.

62-pound Rosa Fe was quoted at

No. 2 Manitoba for August shipment
at $1.O6l2 per bushel.
Coupled with this somewhat brighter
outlook for North American wheat
abroad and in contrast to the move
ment OF domestic Spring wheat, mar
ketings of cash Winter wheat have
fallen of sharply. Receipts at seven
Of the larger hard Winter wheat mar
kets totaled 4,766 cars for the week as
compared with 1884 cars a week ago
and 10,95S two weeks ago.
AS anticipated several weeks ago, the
drought has put wheat of such high
protein content on the market that
protein premiums have become rela-
lively unimportant. Better inquiry for
low protein types and slight price adj
vanceS for this class of wheat appears
to bear out the prediction that the
scarcity of low protein grain, essential
in milling mixtures, might reverse the
O1u anu COII1ulAIlu The premium.
Soft Winter wheat markets have held
independently firm. Offerings are very
light, with growers selling slowly at
current prices. Mills, however, are
drawing from elevator stocks and are
not inclined to advance their bids for
country shipments.
Future Prices Decline.
Future prices at Portland and Seattle
have tended to follow the decline in
Eastern markets, but cash prices are fair
ly steady. California markets are steady,
with prices practically unchanged. In
quiry for feed wheat has improved
somewhat, but demand from mills has
been only of moderate volume, since
Eastern wheat from Idaho and Utah
has been offered below local prices.
The corn market has weakened
slightly as result of rather general
rains in the Central West and fairly
liberal country shipments. While trade
reports indicate that rains we're too late
to do the corn crop any great good.
some late fields were benefited and
pastures improved.
Oats have held independently firm,
influenced by an increased demand as
result of the short supplies of corn.
Barley future markets declined slightly,
but there has been good demand for
cash grain and cash prices have held
fairly steady. Barley is being substi-
tuted for corn In increasing amounts,
