Coal Production Climbs
By Times Special

CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-Coal pro-
duction OF ia Illinois mines in July
totaled 2.204.62l tons as compared
with 2.122.T45 in the preceding
month and 2.350.235 in July a year
ago according TO reports of the Illi-
nois department Of mines and
minerals.

tvstem. One banker who has been
brought into contact with the Ne
braska lawyer characterized him as
a rational human being" He said
he would not regard him as either
radically or cOnservatively inclined.
The position OF vice governor or
even governor OF the Federal Re-
serve bank Is not considered in the
financial district as being a very
important post these DAYS. The
board. II Is said, is being dominated
by the treasury department. which
in turn. seems 70 be taking orders
from President Roosevelt. And the
bankers in the Street have become
resigned TO their status Of unofficial
observers.
IT is becoming apparent that
Il bankers IN the financial district
are more inclined 20 cooperate
with the administration than they
have been for some time. Appar-
entity they have become convinced
that even though they can not be
generals II is TO their advantage 10
Get ont on the firing line as buck
privates.
But the bankers are not the only
ones who have made concessions.
The better cooperation is the re-
suit largely of a compromise. in
which the bankers gave less ground
than did the administration They
are extending more credit TO indus
try. but they are getting, in effect,
government guarantees on these
loans. Under the circumstances
they can we'll afford to cooperate.
IT remains to be seen. Of course,
Il how many loans can be made to
industry. AT first perhaps such
loans will be limited TO sO-called
border-line cases. or cases where
the risks we're Just a trifle too great
To be taken by banks under Ordi-
nary circumstances. These loans
will constitute Just so much more
printing for the pump" II they
are effective in stimulating trade 1t
Is reasonable to suppose that the
betterment in itself will bring up
new "bOrder-line" cases.
Aside from the guarantees which
have been, IN effect, granted there
are two other important reasons
why bankers are eager to cooper
ate. They have more money than
they can loan under rigid banking
practices. The inactivity of these
funds has cut into their earnings
materially. The second reason Is
that they fear new banking legis-
lation. and they reason that this
may be tempered to some extent If
they indicate that they are willing
TO play ball"

GRAIN PRICES
CLIMB DURING
DULL SESSION
Overcome Resistance From
Bears: Canada Reports
Weather Damages.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The grain
markets dragged through a dull and
listleSs session on the Chicago Board
of Trade yesterday. with little sc-
tivity and not much change in
prices.
Wheat closed 4 TO = cent high
er: corn was up "a to IL cents;
oats was up s cent and rye was
TO = cent higher.
Wheat opened firm with prices
fractionally higher on the strength
of higher Liverpool prices and re-
ports of weather damage in por-
tons of Canada. The slight adj
vance met resistance from bears
and begged down. This. however,
was absorbed and the close was
slightly higher
Traders showed pronounced
tendency to play the market close
to their vests pending further de-
velopments. There was some de-
mand for cash corn and oats, but
trading was inactive.
There vas nothing in the news
OFeIIlSHJ W dtlIdCb dbltlltlOu, Dub
the trade was distinctly apprehen-
sive as to what might hsppen-sl-
though no one seemed to know just
what to fear.
Liverpool reported lack Of pres
sure in the wheat market early, but
weakened later and closed q to |
cent lower. Rotterdam was g to 3
cent lower.
Corn prices held within relatively
narrow limits with commission
houses on both sides trading on
narrow scale. Crop comments were
decidedly mixed, with some fear of
frost in the northern belt.
Oats and rye failed to show indie
pendent action, although the frost
in Canada is expected to damage
the quality of the former grain.
Provisions continue to be affected
by the strength in hogs and prices
for both lard and bellies advanced
to new highs for the season.

the stock market yesterday without
causing any pickup in volume of
trading.
Utility shares gave a demonstra-

Next the packing issues came to life
as hogs continued TO mount. Near
the close shorts covered in the rails
and that group moved up easily
Other sections of the list firmed.
Cotton futures were steady TO firm.

approached for signing the Cuban
sugar agreement.
The dollar improved sharply in

Ell Sr. Miguel Guerra Mon
dragon, expresidente de la Ca
mara de Representatives. de
Puerto Rico, compare las ac-
tuales condolences de esa isla
con las que existian en- ell siglo
XVII, segdn ell historiador anne
ricano DR.. Paul G. Miller.
En- I'm libro de texto, acepta-
do por las escuelas de Puerto
Rico ,refiriendose a las condi-
clones predominantes en- la is
la bajo la domination espanola,
ell historiador pregunta: jPor
que era tan alto ell costo de la
vida en- San Juan? iPor que
era ell pueblo generalmente tan
pobre? iPor que los negocios
no Sc desarrollaban con mas
facilidad? 5Por q. disminuia ell
numero de ingenios o %centrales
de azucar?
Ell Sr. Miller contesta en- esta
forma: Espana dominaba el CO.
mercio de sus c~olonias, Obiigan-
doles a hacer sus compras en- Ia
madre patria y a vender sus
productos por medic de los puer
tos de Cadiz y Sevilla, requi-
riendo ademas que TODD ell CO.
mercio de las col Mas sc hiciese
en- naves espanolas. Las como
didades para las colonias, COM
paradas en- paises extranjeros,
pagaban altos derechos crance-
larios."
Y Mondrag6n sostiene que
ahora, baio ell gobierno de los
Estados Unidos, las condicio-
mes que prevalecen son simila.
res a las del siglo XVII, cuando
dominaba la madre patria.
IA qui6n atribuye la respon-
sabilidad por 10 que suede?

quien conoce y estima, sino cal
