GRAIN PRICES (M-r'-ieis by E. F. LIacJ & Company. 212 Union National Bans 3uilding) CHICAGO, July 14. Wheat prices were lower today In a market due mainly to bearish crop news. Increased hedging pressure and selling by locals. The strike situation was about unchanged, but the trade paid little attention to it. Cables showed only slight pressure to advances here yesterday. Weather much more settled over the belt. News from spring wheat territory still mentioned rust but held out promise that plant? would mature before important damage would be done. Export sales placed at 200.000 to 300.000 Manitobas. Corn showed a little more strength than wheat and closed a little better than the low, although the range of pnces was very narrow and trade extremely light. Weather and crop conditions favorable. The export sales were estimated at 200,000 with good demand reported from several places. Cash market to 1 higher. Oats Trade light and mlNjd with fairly general commission house selling and cash and shipping interests buying in small quantities and not sufficient to force the prices up any. Cash market relative firm. Crop news continues favotable. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company. 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, July 14.

Promise Settlement The Initial St. Paul conferences between P. A. Henning, chairman of the federated shop crafts of the northwestern district and rail officials brought no definite results but both sides admitted that negotiations had advanced to a stage that gave promise of a settlement of the strike on the 17 roads of the northwestern group. Mr. Henning went so far as to assert that he believed it was entirely possible to settle the strike on a national basis within 48 hours. Before enter ing the St. Paul negotiations, Mr. Heniup me di. ram neeouanons. vr. Henning conferred with Mr. Jewel!, who co n r- n v. A S. - aa?7iicu Liiat il was upon a cational basis only, and through direct negotiations with the roads that the shopmen's strike would be ended. Chairman Hooper of the labor board who announced formulation of new plans for ending the strike, was closely watched for his nevt move for peace. Meanwhile disturbances in connection with the strike continued. State troops guarded every approach to the properties of the Missouri Pacific railroad at Poplar Bluff, Mo., today. The city was quiet and reports that a mob of several hundred striking shopmen and sympathizers from Hoxie, Ark., was. marching on the town to prevent the operation of trains were said to be unfounded after investigation. To Resume Work It was learned from a reliable source that the railroad had brought in strikebreakers and planned to resume work today at the shops which have been closed as a result of the strike. Two hundred and fifty state troops mobilized at Sedalia, Mo., for a week were under sealed orders to entrain for service early today presumably in connection with the railroad strike. Destination of the miHtiamnn cnnM not be learned, but it was said they probably would be sent to Poplar tsiun to reinrorce the four companies from St. Louis already there.

Minor officials at Denison were in touch with the governor, the state executive announced, adding he was given to understand from those on the ground, no violence was imminent.

The Tariff on Fertilizer The American farm bureau has issued a leaflet devoted to the tariff on fertilizer materials, in which it claims the farmer to be "the victim of a discriminating tax.- The farm bureau is especially anxious for free trado In potash and gives very sensible reasons in favor of that theory. The editor of this little bulletin on the proposed tariff, as being now amended in the senate, says: "Fifteen million dollars is the added price the farmer will have to pav for his fertilizer in the first year of the new tariff, if the proposed rates v i f pendinS Dill are adopted, fotasb, with the proposed duty of $50 a ton, will cost $13,500,000 more. "Sulphate of Ammonia, on which the proposed rate is $5 a ton, will V boosted $1,000,000. "Burlap, if assessed $20 a ton, as proposed, will add $800,000 to the increase. "In addition to the above there 13 proposed by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, a tax of $30 a ton on nitrogenous material manufactured from leather and tannery wastes Oe hundred thousand tons of that maunal, chemically processed, rendering it a highly soluble and available plant food, goes into fertilizers, and the Lodge amendment would, therefore add $3,000,000 more to the annual fe tihzer bill, making a total tax on the farmer for a single commodity that he uses, and that ho A , "WiiC uses, Ui $18,000,000 per year. These proposed tariff rates cannot be defended under any theory of protection or of revenue raising. Thcv constitute rank discrimination against the agricultural industry, and sinele out the farmer to bear an unjust tax burden." About Potash Production The potash we import is waterborne from points our own Atlantic ports. This means a reiauveiy low freight rate. Foreign potash occurs in huge natural deposits, and Is minprl nheo-nlv the production of American potash is a costiy process. Because of cheap ocean rates it Is economical tn chir, material of low potash content which sells to American consumers at a lower price per unit of potash than the higher rrade salts. ash makers cannot ship low-grade material, but because of high freight rates from the far west where our potash is produced, must concentrate into high percentage goods. America 1 vear "1,, t0nS f pot" pi'juucea less ttian 8.000 tons of pottons. Under the stimulus of war Pri ces we actually produced 50.000 tons of potash in 1918, but not at a cost farmers could afford to pay. Sulphate of Ammonia With reference to sulphate of ammonia the farm bureau says: "The one purpose of a tariff on sulphate of ammonia Is to increase the price which American producers may exact from domestic consumers. "A tariff is not needed as protection to a home industry, because American sulphate of ammonia is successfully competing in the markets of the world. "A tariff will bring no revenue to the Federal treasury, because foreign producers cannot mmnete v American markets. The imports for ivti were 4.bb7 tons as against exports of 102,614 tons. "In the pending tariff bill there is proposed a duty of $5 a ton, that rate being reduced by the Senate Finance Committee from $12 a ton. -ahih Tr-. voted by the House. The normal annual consumption of sulphate of am monia in fertilizers is over 200,000 tons, so that a duty of $5 a ton would mean an added tax on the farmer of more than $1,000,000 a year for this one ingredient that he must use as plant food for his crops."
