GRAINS LOWER ON
LACK OF SUPPORT
Good Crop and Weather News
Used to Depress List.
CHICAGO, July 23.—With trading dull
on the board of trade today, prices
worked lower on the same bearish re
ports that have obtained for the past
week.
Most important of these were good har
vest and crop reports and favorable
weather.
The market today was without the
support of short covering, which kept
quotations ip Wednesday and Thurs
day.
(By Thomson & McKinnon.)
—July 23 —
The foreign exchange market again
entered into the grain situation to the
extent that export business Is restricted.
Some high temperatures ar reported
from parts of th northwest. Further
rains reported in western Canada were
needed.
Limited sections of the southwest have
been reporting high temperatures and
they need rain, but these have had little
effect as the corn crop in Us entirely
shows flattering progress.
One of the leading experts suggests
a crop of 3,090,000,000.
Argentine corn now affoat is affected
by the decline in foreign exchange, and
is reported offering at 50 cents under
the United States grain.
In commodities, where there has been
accumulations, such as wool, silk, cot
tou and bog products, prices have ex
perienced a considerable decline from
the recent high. It is reasonable, there
fore, to assume that prices of grains
will parallel this action in the event of
accumulations in either first or second
hands.
The present crop outlook suggests
bountiful yields of everything.
Foreign political situation Is distinctly
against any ideas of investment, even If
t be not a "disturber of confidence. Prlvca
may rule around this level pending crop
developments but tight money, foreign
•political situation and poor transportation
all indicate lower prices ultimately.
The cash situation In oats is weaken
ing in anticipation of the new crop. Sonia
of the poorer sortß of the dally arrivals
are selling at a discount under the July
and will probably be used for delivery
on July contracts.
A few threshing returns from Illinois
and lowa show yields of from 45 to S3
bushels, thereby exhibiting the benefit of
ample moisture and moderate tempera
tures during the month of June.
This market is relatively cueaper tnan
other feeds, but nevertheless probably
will drag.

Bar Former Soldiers;
Scored
LONDON, July 23.--Field Mr*hal Lord
Haig has denounced what he terms the
"selfish obstinacy” of the British trades
unions who refuse to open their rank*
to the returned soldiers, thousands of
whom are jobless.
"I can see no more serious setback to
the development of trades unionism
throughout the world than the triumph
of those principles against which we
fought for nearly fire years In
he said.
"It is the turn of employers and trades
unions for sacrifice. The ex-service men
already have made theirs. The Inabil
ity of tho former soldier tj earn the full
trade union wage is due to the fact that
some of the best years of his life were
given at the risk of life ittelf fighting
for his country and thereby fighting for
the very principles and existence of these
trade unions.”
Even Lloyd George has endeavored to
open the ranks of building trades unions
so that the nation’s housing program
might be speeded up, but he has had
no success.' Hr delayer*, masons, plaster
ers. painters—all refuse to open up their
tanks, saying it will dilute the labor mar
ket aud thereby result in a lowered wage
scale.
lord Haig says the evidence shows the
unions are more to ■ blame than em
ployers, many of whom genuinely have
endeavored to give ex-service men work,
but hate.been blocked.
"There are still too many thousand* of
of ex-serflce men who are today fight
ing the hardest battle of their life In the
endeavor to find work which would keep
themselves, tholr wives ind their families
from absolute starvation." the field mar
shal declared. x
"IVe need something more substantial
than fulsome blessings and pious aspira
tions. This Is a ease more than ever for
deeds rather than words.”

she would have to live up to the orig
inal purpose of her trip to Halifax or
return to England.

At the examination It was brought out
that from Halifax to New York she was
