CITY COUNCIL PETITIONED BY
 MINE WORKERS
Request for Supervision of Vote Upon Existing
 Situation Is Made

A petition asking the City Coun- cil to supervise a vote of all mine workers on the question as wheth- CT they desire to return to work or not was being circulated today among the citizens of Juneau by mine workers. Up to late hour a considerable number of signatures were obtained.
 Following IS a transcript of the petition:
 May 28. 1885 ITO the Mayor and the
 City Council:
 City of Juneau, Territory
 of Alaska
 We, the undersigned, residents and citizens of Juneau, Alaska, re- quest that the City Council and you, as Mayor, meet and act on the present dispute of the employees Of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company
 we ItCA bAldb bA4Ao NAASP0S~ -@ matter of grave concern to the en- tire city and that it would be the duty of local officials to aid in any way possible, settlement of the differences between the employees and the mine.
 At this time we suggest serious consideration of a vote to be held under the auspices Of the city; this vote to be held for employees who were on the payroll of the A. J. at the time the strike was called; that these men be allowed to vote, unmolested, on the question Of whether they wish to return to work or continue the strike. It will be obvious that if a sufficient ma jority wish to return to work, a quicker settlement of the differ ences will be made possible

 Pegues of President Roosevelt's ap- proval of the Act also stated that regulations pertaining to Title I in it's new form were mailed to Ju- neau from Washington, D. o., last night.
 Clarity Housing Act
 Other amendments served to clar- ify the Housing Act and to expe- dite organization of national mort gage associations, which are to deal in insured mortgages.
 Many businesses and Industries in Alaska which have been badly in need of funds for building ex- pansion purposes will find that Title I as amended, provides the ideal solution to their problem, , said MT Pegues.
 ''AS it has heretofore, money for modernization purposes will come from private financial institutions which in turn will be insur d against loss by the Federal Hous- ing Admin st T tion. Commercial loans of this type rank high as a desirable field of investment for a banks funds and with the insur- snce feature added, I am sure that banks already approved to make Title loans will be anxious to participate in the new business which will be opened up.
 Illu.iratiOn
 "A striking illustration of the credit responsibility of the Ameri- can home owner is revealed by the fact that out of approximately $60,- Oo0.0O0,000 in modernization loans made throughout the country, to- tai defaults are only slightly over $8,C00. Thus it is clear that in its drive to accelerate the circulation of money in an essential industry the Federal Housing Administra- ton has had to use only an infini- tcsimal amount of the money ap- prcpristed for payment of insur- ance claims. It is only reasonable to expect that the percentage ol loss in the augmented moderniza- ton program will not be much, il any, higher"

MOSCOW.-"RusSia will gradually
reduce the number of her purchasing
agencies abroad. it was revealed this
week by the commisSariat of foreign
trade, and instead Moscow will en-
courage foreign firms to send their
representatives to Russia to familiar
ize themselves more thoroughly on the
spot with the needs Of a given indus
try.
The commissariat explains that this
procedure is found necessary in view
of the fact that the country is now
importing fewer manufactured goods
from ordinary stock lines and more
complicated machinery for the manu-
facture of producers goods, installa-
tion of which is generally dependent
on peculiar local conditions and needs.
Hence, negotiations with foreign
firms and selection Of equipment to
be purchased will ultimately take
place in Russia, with foreign firms
called upon to prove the advantages
of their products over the products of
their competitors. Soviet trade dele
cations maintained abroad, it is as
serted here, have by now accumulated
an invaluable mass of information and
trade experience which is at the dis
posal of the commissariat of foreign
trade. 1t will no longer be necessary
to have so many buying agencies, or
so complete staff in those which will
be maintained indefinitely in the

RAIL AND UTILITY

Modest Gain Is Principal

Issues Unchanged.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 13.-Modest gains
in Junior railroad and utility issues
were the principal feature of the
corporate bond market today United
States Governments were about un-
changed.
In the absence of developments in
the holding company legislative tangle
in Washington, the run-up in utility
bonds was ascribed partly to short
covering operations by traders, who
preferred to withdraw from active
positions over the week end, and firm
ness among carrier obligations was
regarded as natural rebound follow
ing softneSS during the last two Ses-
sions. In most cases buyers and sellers
were close together and price fuctu-
ationS were narrow.
A heavy turnover in bonds of the
Consolidated Coal Co. of Maryland
resulted in gains of around p points
for the two issues listed. Leaders in
other groups which moved up minor
fractions to around a point included
Nickel Plate 5l2S at 627s, Laclede Gas
512s at 7334, New York Central As at
851a, Santa Fe As at ITO and Inter-
national Telephone 4l2S at 1875.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 13.-Ideal weather
to halt black rust damage in Spring
wheat and facilitate the harvest move
ment of domestic Winter wheat had
notable beariSh market effects today.
An outstanding feature was 3as
cents break in wheat prices at Kan
sas City. Contributing to downward
impetus of values WAS suggestion
from a British trade authority that
Canadian wheat yield of as much as
400,000,000 bushels this season would
easily be possible with only normal
damage from now until harvest.
Wheat in Chicago closed nervous,
IA -22s under yesterdays finish, Sep
tember 80A-ss, corn varying from !
cent decline to 4 advance, Septem-
ber 742s oats 3s- - down and pro-
visions unchanged to loss of 10
cents.
Emphasizing talk of likelihood of
40O,O00O00 bushels 1885 wheat pro-
duction in Canada were statements
current that this Woulda indicate
combined crop and carryy-over for the
United States and Canada totaling
around 100000, 900 bushels. Such
an aggregate would oe about twice
the home consumer requirement OF
the two countries. Under these cir
cumstances wheat price rallies proved
transient and appeared to be due
mainly to relative strength shown at
times by the corn market.
Corn displayed independent firm
ness early, but fell back later, infiu-
enced by wheat weakness. Commits
sion houses were frequent purchasers
of nearby corn futures, especially on
price dips. Some of the buying OF
September corn appearcd to be against
sales of other grains. A handicap.
however, to friends of higher prices for
corn was excellent growth conditions
reported throughout most of the corn
belt. On the other nand. sharp at
tention was given to scsntiness of i'm
mediate supplies of corn.
Oats sympathized wheat weakness,
despite Illinois reports of heavy rust
damage to oats. Rye also followed
wheat to lower levels.
Notwithstanding that stocks of lard
and meats continue 70 decrease, pro-
visions averaged lower with grains.
