public health thought they about had
it whipped, milk Sickness" which

Berries Plentiful,
Are Going to Waste

Word from the hill country of the
counties of Jackson, Pike, Lawrence,
Scioto, Gallia, Vinton, Meigs and
parts of Ross and Highland indicate
that quantities of blaekberries are
going to waste in areas situated
away from the main highways.
Although the blackberry crop is
bountiful this year the quality of the
berries is said to not be up to av-
erage. However, in some instances,
many of the consumers are able to
get nice sized berries.

debt ABSORPTION
ASKED BY POLAND
Proposes Larger European
Powers Take Up Obligations
of Weaker Countries.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STRESA, Italy, September 6.-Poland
suggested at this mornings session Of
the Danubian conference that the
larger European powers absorb in
some manner the debts of the weaker
countries, but a method for doing this
was not outlined.
Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania
supported the idea and the Rumanian
delegates suggested the larger powers
be invited to express their views.
Controversy Over Delegates.
Yhe American custom of sending an
observer" to attend international dis
cussions furnished a solution yesterday
for the initial controversy at the OPEN
ing session. Fifteen nations have sent
delegates to the conference in the hope
that something may be done to relieve
economic conditions in what is re-
garded as the sorest spot in Europe
Germany objected to the admission Of
participate, on the ground that thereby
other outsiders might be encouraged,
including Soviet Russia.
Other nations supported the plea of
Latvia, but the conference, recalling the
American policy, ruled that the Baltic
nation must be satisfied with an OBJ
server.
Georges Bonnet of France, who pre-
sided, told the delegates that the trou-
bles of the Danube countries had been
adequately discussed" at nine con-
crosses and conferences and by League
of Nations Commissions, and that there
fore the hour of definite decisions has
sounded"

GRAIN TRADERS BUY
WHEN MARKET DIPS.
Prices Have Been Improved
Recently by Active Specu-
Iative Demand.
BY FRANK /. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.

Domestic grain markets, expected in
some quarters to give little better ac-
count of themselves after Labor day.
5eem to depend on continued specula-
tive demand for stability.
When the advancing tendency which
added cents a buShel to wheat in re-
cent weeks halted abruptly under heavy
liquidation by September longs, the de-
cline ran into buying orders. The rally
at the finish impressed observers with
the ability of the market to absorb
liquidation during a trying delivery
period
Open interest showed a further in
crease indicating continuous absorption
and the belief that with September de-
liveries taken care of there may be no
further pressure on nearby months
Stop-loSs selling and reinstatement
buying suggests further sharp fluctu
ations, with wheat likely to be accumu-
lated on all sharp breaks.
Heaviness in the Canadian market
has had a depressing influence at Chi
cago, but relatively small domestic Of
ferings have counteracted it. August
receipts at Kansas City were the small
est for that month in 10 years. Market
ings of Spring wheat decreased, indi-
eating the peak of the movement al
ready has passed. Private estimates
place the Spring wheat yield 100000
bushels below August expectations.
Other strengthening influences have
been unfavorable harvest weather in
Canada, relatively light shipments from
Russia and the Southern Hemisphere
and f1rmness at Liverpool.
An outstanding feature of the world
market situation is the slack European
import inquiry which reflects larger
supplies in importing areas. World
shipments during August were the
smallest since 1915. So far this season
they have totaled only &c, 600, 900 bushels
compared with 125,000,000 three years
ago.

DELAY IN TREASURY
REFUND|NG IS SEEN
Wall Street Does Not Expect
Large-SCaIe Operation
Until Next Year.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 6.-While
the Treasury must borrow large sums
of money in the remaining months of
the year. the financial community now
takes it for granted that no large
scale refundipg operation is planned
until next year.
Even If the Liberty first 4i4s are
called for redemption December IS
three months notice is necessary-this
will only involve about $535 900 900.
The $6268,718,450 fourth Liberty loan
is not callable until after october Is.
1888, and six months notice is re-
quired. A large part of the Treasurys
floating debt already is in the form
of bills, certificates and notes, on which
interest charges are the lowest in the
history of the country and it would
obviously be to the disadvantage of the
Treasury to refund considerable part
of them into long-term bonds.
Certainly the market is favorable to
Government bonds at this time and
it may be that next year it will not be
SO favorable: The Federal Reserve
System cannot go on indefinitely hold
ing up the money market by purchas-
ing Government issues. It has, as
matter of fact, already ceased its large
weekly purchases. And in the near
future there is likely to be less de-
mand for banks, for, with returning
confidence and a buster demand from
industry the commercial banks will be
inclined to dispose of blocks Of their
low-yield Governments in favor OF cor
poration issues of sound nature which
can still be purchased at prices to

clared that the conference must de-
termine whether Europe can regain its
equilibrium while every nation Is sur
rounding itself with new customs bar
riers, is multiplying prohibitions and
restrictions and is developing a mech

Success at Stresa, the chairman con-
tinued, is essential to the success of the

The problems to be considered by
the conference are stabilization of the
Balkan currencies, restoration of the
freedom Of exchange operations and the
