PRICE TRENDS CONFUSE
WALL STREET TRADERS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 18. - The
speculative outlook continues con-
fusing. Prices may move either way
at will of the professional element. The
public stands aloof and holds no def
mite opinion. On the bullish side of the
account is the improvement in the
crop situation which should lead to a
more uniform price range in both corn
and wheat and gradually bring back
the courage of buyers of merchandise
The iron and steel trade indicates some
signs of betterment in the rise in
scrap iron, but the ratio of production
is lower than ever and quarterly re-
ports are depressing. The advice of
brokers today was to be cautions of any
definite moves either way and not to
follow up advances in highly speculative
issues. The change in the price list
between Saturday and todays opening
indicates the fickleness OF the market

supplies, such as rails, etc, be reduced
commensurate with the reduction of
similar products sold to other con-
Sumers.
10. Labor dominates Congress today
to the same extent as it did when the
Adamson bill was passed. IA years ago.
This control of Congress will not, and
cannot, be broken unless the railroads
as a group will boldly face the situation
and put their case before the very large
class of voters-tf1at is, the farmers
and others-and secure their co-opera-
ton toward reducing, or at least holding
down, the cost of transportation. There
are more voters interested in proper
adjustment of railroad wages to the
cost of living than there are railroad
employees. 1t is a question of proper or
gani2ation and presentation of facts.
G'Railroad employees have mostly very
responsible positions and are entitled
to liberal pay, which they can only
obtain when the employing companies
themselves are prosperous. Their COM
pensation should be adjusted both up
and downward, according to the actual
cost of living, based on retail prices.
Rules designed merely to create work
for men not needed and which increase
the cost of transportation service must
be eliminated as an injustice to all
The Elements of Strength.
"The elements of strength in the
situation are:
Il. Operating efficiency demonstrated
by getting better results out of every
dollar spent for maintenance of way
and equipment and for conducting
transportation; possibly also in connec-
ton with general expenses. This Is re-
fiected by the great reduction in fuel
expenses, by the greatly increased num-
Der of ton-mileS per man-hour, etc.
No doubt some further progress, but at
a greatly reduced rate, can be made in
that direction for some years to come,
but far from enough to overcome the
elements of weakness above enumerated.
-. The realization on part OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission OF the
need for increased revenue as evidenced
by the recent advances in class rates In
the East and Middle West and in many
other ways. These particular cases have
been pending for several years and have
only been adjudicated after testimony
was taken all over the country The
record in these cases runs up to many
hundreds of thousands of pages. In the
Western case alone no less than 544
lawyers who represented railroads. ship
perS and official bodies had TO be heard.
The decision just rendered in the grain
rate case Is not necessarily a proof to
the contrary, because the Hoch-Smith
resolution and the present condition OF
agriculture affected this situation.

OWEN D. YOUNG ATTRACTS
 ATTENTION.

The other day Edward A. Filene, the famous economist named Owen D. Young at the head of short list whom he declared could easily earn million dollar year salary Now comes the following from the Boston News Bureau:
 Admiral Carey T. Grayson, returning from
 Europe, says Europe generally considers
 Owen D. Young the outstanding figure in
 American life; Lloyd George told him he
 would not be surprised to see Young Presi-
 dent and that the separations adviser lis
 not only great American figure but
 growing international one"
 If Gov. Roosevelts physicians continue to insist that he must not be a candidate for President, do not be surprised if the Democrats should name the great lawyer engineer their Presidential inee in 1923.
 H-another IF-President Hoover should be un- able to land a renomnation, keep your eye on Ambassador Morrow Then there would be two candidates who alike in many ways. The chief difference is that Morrow is a Southerner and Republican while Young is Northerner and a Democrat.

FARMERS REFUSING TO HELP
 THEMSELVES.

The Farm Board is not pleased because of the failure of it's efforts to induce cotton planters to curail cotton planting this year to 40000000 acres which would be a reduction of about 100000 acres or approximately Is per cent. The acres actually planted up to July were 458l50O0, re- duction of less than 1800000 27 per cent
 When one takes into account that the exports of cotton this year up to July 1,33189 bales less than last year and that considerably less cotton is going into domestic consumption than in 1929, 1t would seem that the Southern planters were defying the winds when they refused to comply with the suggestions of those chosen by President Hoover to advise farm relief. The situation is one that demands the production of great deal less cotton than the indicated 1881 crop
 This failure of Farm Board cotton plans seems about be repeated in the winter wheat districts. The Kansas farmers not only refuse to decrease the wheat acreage, but they demanding change of the personnel of the Farm Board The farmers to be "sot" having the Government get into the cotton and wheat-purchasing and price fixing business.
 If the Government is going to purchase wheat and cotton, why not purchase hogs and apples and copper and newspapers? Why not fix the prices of everything that all concerned might make a profit? Why not distribute doles to all those who find business depressed?
 Why have farm relief if the farmers refuse to cooperate to help themselves? Do they propose to hang out until they are starved off the farms?

A New Era in Germany.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

With the final report made by s. Parker Gilbert Agent-General for Preparations, the national re- lceivershp for Germany to end It is astonishing to review the progress of decade in the management of European finances. After the first years of futile effort on the part of France seconded by England, to make Germany pay far more than humany possible, the Dawes Plan worked out temporary system of transferring separations payments in such amounts as were economically feasible.
 Then the Young Plan was established which afforded a final and conclusive basis for Germanys separations payments This plan, including the com mercialization of much of Germanys obligations and the creation of the Bank of International Set dement's to handle the transfers and bond iSsues takes effect and the work of the Agent General is over. For five years MT. Gilbert has stayed on in Berlin, watching carefully the slow and painful reorganization of German industry and finance.
 i His final warning he leaves that office is very significant. Public expenditures he says have risen out of all proportion to the needs of the country and its ability to pay taxes If retrench- ment follows in this direction then he is confident of the future of Germany, alleged loser of the World War. One may naturally wonder who really did lose, when he notes the panstaking efforts of the allied Powers to place Germany back on her feet again economically
 The lesson of these trying postwar years is plain enough for all who can read-that no attempt to break the strength of any nation is profitable for other States. The prosperity of other nations is vital to our own, and victory in must in- evitably be followed by international cooperation to reestabish the integrity of the vanquished na- ton. It is not application of the Golden Rule, injection of Christian ethics into in- ternational affairs. It is simply an extension of the principle of Tive and let live" which makes all nations partners in close-knit world economic system. The final resolution of the reparations problem is a triumph for the unbiased common sense handling of a question that out of the bitterness and hatred of armed conflict.

DO NOT EAT RAW PORK.

Reports that trichinosis has caused the death of three and illness of 30 other residents of Reading, Pa, recently has led the United States Department of Agriculture to renew its warnings against eating raw pork. In Reading the disease was the consequence of eating raw-pork sausage
 Trichnosis is produced by a minute, parasitic worm that infests the meat of swine without notice ably injuring the animals This minute worm IS taken into the human body by eating under cooked fresh pork In the human body these worms or trichinae, produce a disease known as trichinosis, which somewhat resembles typhoid fever Trichinosis is painful and dangerous disease which does not respond to treatment All fresh pork in whatever form should be thoroughly cooked to make it safe.
 Leaflet 34-L "Trichinosis," prepared by the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture to explain this disease and methods of avoiding it. is available free to anyone requesting it.

Why do people always refer to it as the Gold Rush of '98?" The gold rush was well under way months before 98. Skagway and Dyea and Bennett were populous towns in '97 Skagway and Dyea had large stores, and other institutions, including news papers, before the beginning of '98 and thousands reached their goal at Dawson in '97.
 It is true that the rush reached its peak in the winter of '97 and '98 and the early spring of '98 Most of the peak of the rush of the winter Of '97 and 98 and the early spring of '98 broke into Dawson in the late spring and early summer oi '98 Litefally thousands of small boats and barges as well fleet of river steamers fairly filtered the lakes and rivers between Bennett and Dawson in May June and July 98 But large part oi the rushers had started in 97 and rushing most

The Northwest and Russia.
Olympia Olynpian.)

Rufus Woods Wenatchee publisher who went Russia with brief case and an unsatisfied curl osty as how the Sovets progressing, apparent carried his typewriter along with him. He has bee sending his paper lot of copy about Russia an recently discussed wheat and lumber exportatior and the probable effect upon the Pacific Northwes He writes:
 What is going to be the effect of Rus sian development on the Northwest? There seems to be little doubt but that Russia is going to have tremendous effect upon the wheat market and the lumber market In fact these two commodities have already shown their influence on the American markets.
 Millions of bushels of Russian wheat thrown the markets of the world last fall brought down the price of wheat in United States. For years the Pacific North west has sold untold millions of feet of lumber to the Japanese What now has happened? The Japanese have gone into the lumber regions of Russia and are now getting their supply there. And that is not all. Lumber from Russia in Japanese ships is now being sold in Eastern United States at SIP thousand.
 In wheat and in lumber the Russian development is almost certain to have a de- leterious effect. On the other hand this same development in Russia is going to make markets for other commodities which will run into billion dollars
 I know one technician who was followed by orders from America for $1700O000 worth of machinery This is only small de- velopment.
 Readjustment will be necessary in the United States. It is a job for the leaders of thought and action in the United States. American enterprise must take these new factors in world trade and work out the problem for the future.
