if the council could not take a firm
hand in this situation, then the small
powers cannot rely upon the league

own interests.
At Washington officials kept close
eye on developments at Geneva and
Shanghai and expressed hope strife
would be ended. It was pointed out
progress might be SLOW
Return to Chapel
Little groups of humorous former
residents Of ruined Chapel drifted
back there late Thursday after the
fighting was over and prObed eau
tiously into piles OF debris that once
had been their homes.
Slowly at first. and then more rap
idly as they gained confidence that
the patrolling Japanese bluejackes no
longer threatened harm to them, the
refugees struggled into the city that
once was the most populous native
quarter of Shanghai.
Many of them could not even find
the streets they formerly occupied, to
say nothing of the places where their
homes used to be- They stood stunned
by the black destruction.
Huge fires continued to burn here
and there, consuming the last vestiges
of inflammable material in the city.

GRAIN PRICE GAINS
ERASED BY CLOSING
MARKET REACTIONS
Downturns Of Wheat Values
Follow Declines in New
York Stocks

Chicago, March 3.-(F-Late reac-
tions more than wiped out price gains
IN cereal markets Thursday.
Downtur1s Of wheat values in the
last part Of the day followed declines
in New York stocks and in Liverpool
wheat. North American wheat export
business was disappointing as a whole
and bear sentiment was emphasized
by a forecast that rain or snow would
be general throughout the United
States winter wheat belt.
Wheat closed Wednesday, A-1a
lower than Wednesdays finish, May
6lh-A, July 62N-7s: corn unchanged
to A-ss higher. May $685., July 42h ;
oats u off to " up, and provisions
2 to 20 cents down.
Washington proposals to prohibit
the sale Of farm board wheat at low
er than 81 cents for No. hard grades
were interpreted as showing a trend
in congress to fix q practical mini
mum price for sterilization holdings
which have been hanging over the
market. Indications of a new cold
wave developed In the Canadian
northwest and Of colder weather in
domestic winter wheat territories an
additional incentive to buyers.
Moderate setbacks from early tor
prices for wheat were associated with
news that contrary to general expec-
tations British bank raids had not
been relaxed. On the other hand, a
fair amount of overnight export bust
ness in North American wheat was
announced. Famine reports were re-
ceived from Russian districts east OF
the Volga river. Corn and oats aver
aged higher with wheat.
Provisions were easy despite up
turns in hog values.

Whereas, the removal Of the cap
