duce enough Of such goods for It's own
needs
In his decision admitting a cargo Of
Russian pulp wood, 1900 cords destined
for one Of the mills of the International
Paper Co, Assistant Secretary Lowman
OF the Treasury stated few days ago
that the only question at issue was
whether this particular cargo had been
produced by convict labor. and that no
evidence was at hand to prove this.
Every shipment of goods from Russia,
SAID Mr.. Lowman, presents a question
by itself. There is no intention on the
part of the Treasury to make a sweep
ing order against Russian goods. In
TACT the Treasury has no authority to
lay down an embargo against the prod
uctS OF any country. Congress has the
sole authority
Last year the Treasury admitted some
80 shiploads of pulp wood and lumber
and few months ago, cargo of lum-
Der was permitted to enter. The pro-
ceedings in each case were based on tie
Individual shipment. The consignees
submitted evidence to the collector of
customs to show that the cargo had not
been produced in the barred zone. This
region, it will be remembered is made
up OF the four northern governments of
Soviet Russia and extends from the
Finnish border to the Ural Mountains
and north of the sixtieth parallel of
latitude. In this region, according to
the findings of the Treasury DEPART
mSnt, dated February 10, 1881, lumber
and pulp wooo are being produced, at
least in part. by convict labor. On
such commodities consigned to the
limited States fhn

duce evidence that the cargo in ques-
ton was not convict produced"
Denies Convict Labor Charge
Regarding the latest cargo of pulp
wood Amtorg, commercial agency Of
the Soviet government in the United
States. declared: mo convict labor is
used in any section of the Russian
forests" However, rather than appear
to be seeking to bring lumber and pulp
wood or any other goods into this coun-
try in conflict with regulations of the
United States Treasury, Amtorg stated
that 1t has agreed with the American
interests it serves to reduce its contract
for pulp wood. The Soviet represent
ative declared that it cannot be a
question of competition with American
producers, since Russian pulp wood sells
in this country for from Is to 20 per
cent higher prices than does the domes-
tic product. The representative of the
American importing company declared
that his concern is forced to buy a GER
tain amount of foreign pulp wood be-
cause of the exhaustion of timber lands
in the vicinity of certain of the COM
pany's mills.

NEW WHEAT CROP
DEPRESSES PRICES
Adjustment in Values Results
in New Low Grain
Market.

BY the Associated Press.
The world situation may become i'm
portant in influencing the wheat mar
kets. especially since the markets have
failed to respond actively to domestic
developments.
Spring wheat deterioration and the
Farm Boards announcement of SELL
ing policy seemed to be largely ignored
by traders. with more attention being
paid to Liverpool, continental crop
prospects and reports OF Russian sales.
Wheat prices in domestic markets
broke to new lows last week with in
creasing movement of new WHEAT and a
further adjustment to a new crop basis.
Some traders feel this adjustment Is in
evitable in view of the weeks develop
mentS.
Large Surplus Stocks.
The counterbalancing influences, it is
said tending to check price advances at
the present time. are the relatively
large stocks of old wheat on hand in
principal exporting countries, proSpec-
tive free selling of Russian wheat with
in another month, the increased offer
ings of native wheat in European coun-
tries along the Mediterranean and the
maintenance of trade restrictions in i'm
portant importing areas.
Much seemed to be made of estimates
the 1881 world crop will be from $50
100000 to 500.000,000 bushels under
1880. World crop conditions were re-
ported last week practically unchanged
from those of a week ago.
The Canadian situation rem7ined
critical and the final outturn. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. will be largely determined by
weather conditions during the next few
harvesting n ic in
resS and trade reports indicate an aver
age outturn in the Volga district.
There was little export demand last
week, European buyers taking only i'm
mediate needs. But there were reports
Russia had made stable sales to the
United Kingdom.
Hedging pressure was felt during the
week. At Kansas City the market sold
down to At cents, new low mark on
the crop as the result of this pressure.
Some traders believe that-so long as
heavy movements of new wheat are on,
and hedging is being conducted in lib
eral volume, it will require a sharp in
crease in buying power to absorb them
and at the same time maintain present
prices.
Private Estimates.
The official Government forecast for
July is due next Friday. Private eSti-
mates contained in July reports place
the Winter wheat crop at 100000 to
10000 bushels more than June fore
casts. The Government report for June
set the figure at $4,000. 900 bushels.
Corn prices advanced early in the
week. with threatened damage by hot
weather in the main producing belt,
but weakened toward the close with
trade forecasts of a 5000, 900, o00-bushel
crop.

Early Advances Cut Down by

Special Dispatch to The Star.

opcCldl DlSphICn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, July with the news
OF agreement at Paris on the essentials
of President Hoovers debt plan, the
bond market today had considerable
prof1t-taking to absorb from those who
bought In anticipation of this result. In
addition, there was an attack by shorts
on the stock market. which drove prices
sharply lower and was reflected in the
bond market in convertible and stock
option issues and by caShing of bonds
to hold up margins on equity accounts.
The market opened higher, with Ger
man dollar bonds taking the lead, but
when stocks turned down liquidation of
bonds started and before noon the
earlier advances had virtually all been
converted into net losses. That trend
applied to the entire domestic list and
to the German and Austrian groups of
dollar bonds, but not to the rest of the
foreign list
Holders of such issues as Argentine

and Brazilian government and state OBJ

sharply and retained part OF the gains.
In the domestic list the railroad issues,
especially those of the junior grade,
worked ! to 2 points higher at the
opening, but later lost the gains. These
bonds, quite apart from any general i'm
provement engendered by the Hoover
plan, have been and undoubtedly will
again be supported because OF the gen.

Hence the selling of such issues as

Following the admission to the United

learned today that the Customs Bureau
and the Tariff Commission, at the re-
quest of the State Department., have
begun studies to determine what COM

tary labor may be imported in this
country legally after the first Of the

According to the tariff law of 1880,
the provisions against goods produced

HUNGARIAN CRISIS
IS GROWING WORSE
Desperate Situation There
Believed 0bscured by Con-
ditions in Germany.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

BY Gable to The star.
BUDAPEST. Hungary. August 6.--As
the German situation day by day seems
to get better - pr0gided tomorrow's
plebiscite for dissolution Of the Prtls-
sian LAndtag does not push the coun-
try down the chute-the Hungarian
crisis seems, on the contrary. to be
growing worse Hungary's currency, the
pengo, fell on the Vienna exchange
sharply.
There is great danger, Budapest fears,
that German affairs. infinitely more
important to the world than the Hun
garian, have obscured Hungary, and
that while Germany is saved Hungary
may collapse. Attention Of bankers and
diplomats naturally is centered on
Berlin.
Hungarian crash, 1t is true. would
not be so serious as German, but
even so it would be a nasty shock to
world economics and bears close watch
ing. If Hungary goes bankrupt, other
Central European countries would In
stantly feel q repercussicn. There are
no tariff barriers against a financial
panic.
Wheat Price Falls.
The price Of wheat in Hungary fell
from about IA pengoes (S2.45) per
quintal July 30 to 8 pengoes ($1.57
today. The harvest has been bad and,
coupled with this drop in prices, the
agricultural situation is catastrophe.
There is no money to market the har-
vest, on which Hungary largely lives,
and no one to buy 1t even If it is mar
keted.
A further shock to Hungary came
with the announcement that Hun
garian wheat exports to Austria had
been suspended The Hungarian Agr1-
cultural Export Institute has decided
that it will not sell at all rather than
sell at the present terrible prices.
Austria, on its side. will not buy, feel
ing that prices are likely to fall even
further This temporarily ruins the
recent widely heralded commercial
treaty between Austria and Hungary
whereby Austria promised TO buy $780,
900 tons Of Hungarian grain year, or
about one-third OF Hungary's total ex-
port surplus.
The Hungarian italian treaty. with
similar terms, met the last-mii1ute
hitch. 1t is thought that the Italians
are annoyed by the obvious Hungarian
Irritation with France recently. Also, the
steep rise In the Hungarian Bank rate
and the closure of the Budapest Banks
make business with Italy difficult.
Acute Agferlan Crisis.
Further, the recent Hungsrian-G Ger
man treaty has been signed, but is not
operative, and it seems doubtful If it
can 60 into effect until the crisis is
over The net result is an acute
agrarisn crisis for Hungary atcp the
financial crisis. Hungary's wheat export
so far this year is 40 per cent under
last years figures. Nothing could be
Inluckier.
ii should be reasazed, however, with
out blinking deNerate facts Of the
situation. that the Hungarian crisis cen
be ameliorated and that the country
can be saved Even If the loan fails
Hungarian self-he1p on the German
model may pull the country through.
A great deal depends on developments
in Germany, especially the plebiscite
tomorrow. which all through Central
Europe is awaited with great fear.

He also said an equal value" in sur
plus agricultural products should be

United States on the cost Of maintain

For every dollar of concession made
to Germany on reparations and in

would allow such countries q partial
cancellation of their debt TO us by
making refund IN kind consisting of
