NEUTRALITY HELD ESSENTIAL.
Alternative Is Navy We Cannot Afford.
Says Nye.

Says Nye.
BOSTON, March 27.-Senator
Gerald P. Nye, Republican, OF North
Dakota today declared the only Al
tentative to strict neutrality policy
was Navy We cannot afford
Adoption OF neutrality policy, he
told the Boston Chapter Of the For
eign Policy Association, "is very, very
essential to American peace"
The Senator said his neutrality
plan, which virtually eliminates any
association by the United States with
= warning nation, probably would
interfere with foreign trade.
Trade Not Worth War.
But" he said, Gin the light Of our
past experiences, all our foreign trade
is not worth going to war"
He also said, Foreign wars might
have a moral challenge to us, but
that must be determined and ac-
oepted by the people Of the country
rather than by one Ian"
And" he added, Il hope Congress,
whe1. this is such . challenge, shall
determine what chance W. have to
win more than 4 war and what
prospects we have Of winning peace." "
The last war, he said, Failed to
win peace or any OF the objectives
then advanced as the reason the
United States entered the strife"
Freedom of the seas, safety Of
democracy and destruction Of mill
tarism. We accomplished none Of
them" he declared.
Embargo Extension Urged.
Until Americans feel and know
we can win peace, there Is nothing
worth fighting for"
The Boston Transcript quoted Nye
as saying in an interview that the
ari.. embargo against Spain should
be extended to include italy and
Germany.
The Senator dismissed the Italian
declaration that its -.ationak fighting
In Spain were volunteers, asserting:
"1n a dictatorship such IS Mus
solini's, every phase Of the Italian
life is controlled by tie government.
No Italian could volunteer for service
abroad without its consent and ap-
proval"

A good many thousand people

BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, September 4.-Cotton
sank into further new low ground
during the last week. but encountered
resistance few points above the
9-cent level.
Partial recoveries. however. we're

reports pointed to the possibility of a
larger crop than indicated early in
August. The decline earlier in the
week was attributed partly to an un-
favorable view of cotton loan terms

Administration December eased from
953 to 904 and then recovered to
9.36, but closed yesterday at ola,
compared with 939 week ago.
While the 9-cent cotton loan plan
on the 1887 crop was about in line
with expectations, there was enough
uncertainty as to whether the terms
would be attractive to Southern grow
ers 10 cause further selling after its
issuance. In view of the 4 per cent in
terest requirements and the necessity
VA "a uLSC0dIpl0Q
carrying charges before liquidating
loans, some trade circles were of the
opinion growers would prefer to sell
cotton outright rather than place it in
the loan.
AS prices approached cents how
ever, there was sufficient covering
and trade buying as well as some in
vestment purchasing to cause recov-
cries OF about sl.5O a bale from the
lows.
Despite unfavorable conditions in
the Eastern belt and in parts of the
Central belt, where too much rain was
experienced, it was the impression
the crop outlook as a whole had gained
during August
The average Of five regularly COM
piled private crop estimates issued
thus far point to production of l5.-

WHEAT PROSPECTS
ABROAD WATCHED
World Buyers Await News
Of Crop in Argentina
and Australia.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

CHICAGO. September 4. The
Southern hemisphere, where harvest
is months behind this half of the
world, loomed today as a ma jor price
determinant in wheat markets here
and abroad the next few months.
Traders pointed out the size OF the
United States export business depends
to large extent on farmers fortunes
south of the Equator At present i'm
porting interests throughout the world,
particularly those who must obtain
supplies for wheat deficient European
countries, are reported purchasing as
little wheat as possible while waiting
more definite word as to prospects in
Argentina and Australia.
Market Depressed.
Thus, reports OF rains this week in
Argentina, which has been suffering
from drought. were depressing on the
grain market. Crop conditions in
Australia were reported improved and
one private estimate far in advance
VA hoA NNSe PIoSSA lliC ~ OOdDlC SlOP oO

ure OF foreign demand to develop and
hedging sales incident to the North
American harvest kept prices in
narrow range. Strained international
relations had little effect.
Wheat rallied after dipping to new
lows for the season this week but, COM
pared with week ago, Chicago fut-
ures were l u ~ lower this morning;
corn was IS up to down; oats, q. =
IA up; rye, las-l7s higher and lard,
unchanged to cents higher.
Recently, Broomhall estimated L.
700 900 acres soWn to wheat in Cor
doba and Santa Fe provinces, Argen-
tina, had been lost. For the past IS
weeks, according to Chicago grain
house. precipitation in the Northern
belt has averaged one-third of normal.
while in the South it has averaged
one-half Of normal This week scat
tered rains were reported sufficient to
check deteriora ton in many areas, but
moisture is still needed
Corn Unsettled.
The unsettled corn market reflected
slight decrease in private estimates
of domestic production and also a
tight supply situation in September
contracts, which involve more than
100000 bushels, with little corn
available here for delivery
Rye was depressed by hedging which
offset buying associated with export
business. Relative cheapness of oats
compared with other grains kept that
market strong.
