WASHINGTON, March 20. =
The senate agreed today to con-
ference with the house on controv-
erSial points in the beer wine bill.
Having no business to transact,
the senate recessed until 8 p. m.
Chairman Harrison of the senate
tonferees said they would meet
Immediately in an effor to have a
:eport ready for both houses by
that hour.
AS the day progressed, serious
obstacles developed to delay final
action on the measure. 1t was
still hoped. however, that President
Roosevelt would be able to sign
the bill today, thus making beer
legal on April 4.
Leaders in both houses were con-
fident that conferees could agree
today on a compromise between the
30 per cent house beer bill and the
senate measure to reduce the per-
centage to 3.05, legalize wine and
FRUIT juices and forbid sale or gift
0f the beverages to persons under
16 years of age.
But house rules provide that a
conference report must lie over one
day unless unanimous consent Is
given to immediate consideration
Some opposition has developed to
continuation of the strong arm
methods by which legislation has
been jammed through the house
during the special session. Speaker
Rainey predicted final congression-
al action by tomorrow at the lat
est.
Fifteen days must elapse after
President Roosevelt signs the bill
before the legalized beverages can
be sold legally.
Chairman Harrison of the senate
finance committee moved that the
senate agree to the conference and
insist on its own amendments
formality which does not necessar-
lily mean that senate conferees will
refuse to recede. Vice President
Garner appointed Harrison and
Senators Walsh (Dem) Massachu-
SettS, King (Dem) Utah, Reed
tRep) Pennsylvania, and Couzens
(Rep0 Michigan, to represent the
senate in the conference.

Most of Them Will Operate

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 22.-The furniture
industry has snapped out Of the dol
drums at the first touch Of the ma
tional recovery pulmotor.
For the rest Of the Summer, ut least,
most of the country's furniture fac
tories will be operating at top speed to
fill rush orders placed by more than
5000 retailers at the Midsummer ma
tional furniture market in Chicago.
Oficials of the American Furniture
Mart estimate the volume Of sales at
the June-July market exceeded those
of any of the industry's semi-annual
shows since 1929.
Industrial control legislation, which
was credited with providing the incen-
tive for this renewed activity, also tend
ed to set limit on orders. With costs
increasing for raw materials and labor,
few manufacturers would accept orders
for delivery beyond 60 or 30 days.
Retailers, scrambling to replentsh In
ventories which had reached the lowest
point in years, now have considerably
more stock on hand than they had .
year ago, in the opinion Of executives at
the Furniture Mart.
Little resistance to higher prices on
the part Of buyers was reported at the
market, but some retailers expressed
concern over sales in their home COM
munities until public purchasing power
Is increased.

NATION WILL FACE
SHORT BARLEY CROP
Adverse Weather With Larger De-
mand as Result of Legal Beer
Bring Price Fluctuations.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 22-Wide fuctua-
tons in barley have resulted from the
increased demand due to the legaliza-
ton Of beer and the decreased supply
due to weather conditions over q large
portion of the grain growing section
Of this country.
Back in February barley was in
slight demand around 20 cents a
bushel. Only two days ago it sold as
high as ST a bushel in Chicago, where
its fluctuations were so erratic-ranges
sometimes being 10 to 20 cents a
busheI day-that the Chicago Board
Of Trade decided, effective Wednesday,
that there should be no trading in
barley above or below 5 cents a bushel
from the previous close Barley prices
Wednesday, in sympathy with most
commodities and securities, yielded S
cents a bushel and went lower later.
This years barley crop is expected
to be the lowest since 1921. Low
prices, financial conditions and I'M
favorable weather at planting time
brought about an acreage reduction of
hgs. Weather conditions during the
early growing season have been par
ticularly unfavorable, and the Depart
ment Of Agriculture's Crop Reporting
Board, in its current report, states that
the expected yield will be only 16.1
bushels an acre. the lowest on record.
Barley production this year, estimated
on this basis. is placed at only 169,-
951 900 bushels, the lowest since 1921.

LONDON, July % (C.P.A)-Two as
poets of the British governments finan-
cial policy are the subject Of conjec-
lures. The first Is the future Of the
pound; the second is in regard to a
possible big operation to fund the float

There is no indication, however, Of an

Regarding currency policy. Britain's
present apparent leaning toward gold Is
due to q desire to help maintain CONT
mental stability during the early stages
Of the American experiment, but the
immediate future policy must be oppor-

BRIDGE WEAVING
 GOLF PLAYERS

Miami. Fla. Feb 22-fUP)- Bridge has golf on the run. Take it from Shepard Barclay, neutral ex- pert.
 If the parlor pastime can be called a sport-and 10,000,000 ad- herents insist 1t can-other major recreations heretofore first in the affections of the American public now have to step aside.
 Rise of the game that probably holds an all time record for pro- noting acrid argument reached it's pinnacle in the recent Miami-Bilt- more Contract Bridge Champion ship. In that event some 3,200 pasteboard statisticians from 10 metropolitan cities, in addition to Florida and Cuba, batted for the challenge trophy offered by the Florida Year-Round Clubs. The en- tries in this championship stand as a record, according to Barclay. and exceeded by 2.000 the maximum number of entries received in na- tional open golf tournament.
 The tourney. says Barclay, marked the beginning of competi- tive bridge in America on here tofore unforeseen basis. As a re- suit the neutral expert looks for ward to the time when a great in. ternational event will be staged.
