CHICAGO GRAIN MARK.ET Chicago, lll*.—Reports of black rust in South Dakota and of other damage northwest by excessive moisture forced wheat speculators today to the buying side. The opening, which was the same as last night to 3-8 higher was followed by a decided additional upturn. Showers over districts where there has been complaint of drought eased corn but prices rallied in sympathy with wheat. After starting unchanged to 1-4 lower and suffering a further decline values recovered to nearly last night’s level. Some reaction resulted from denials of black rust reports and wheat closed firm 3 1-Sal 1-4 above last night. Renewed weakness in corn came about in consequence of reports of the grading system here being relaxed. The close, neverthelss. was firm at exactly the same as last night. Open.

S, METHODS EXHTEiRUEE Press Comments Appear To day in Angry Terms Over Our “Business Spy System.” ■ 4 Paris. —The opinion prevailed here today that United b'tates treasury agents would in future be excluded from France because of the exposure of their methods in the course o£ an appeal by Henry Monroe, a banker, against a jgil sentence and fine for refusing to disclose the amounts paid in France by Miss Dolan of Brook line, Mass., for dresses seized by the American customs officials on their arrival in Boston. The French foreign office some time ago made representations to the state department at Washington in regard to the irregularity of the Unit ed States in maintaining secret agents in France who were not recognized by the American embassy or consul ate general. Much comment, some of it in angry terms, appears in the press today about what is called the “business spy system of the United States.” Arthur David-Mennet, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Paris, today refused to request withdrawal of chamber deputies to opposition of an appropriation for the Panama-Pa cific Exposition at San Francisco. He says he will do nothing until the United States ceases its vexatious and unreasonable interference with the importations of French goods. PROSPERITY VS. DULLNESS TALK Both Sides Pictured in Senate Discussion Today. Starts Over Treasury Surplus. Washington, O. C. —Prosperity and de pression were pictured in another sen ate debate today. Republicans cited in stances of industrial dullness while Democrats asserted that business con ditions were better in the United States than anywhere else in the world. Senator Simmons started the argu ment when he quoted the official treas ury figures showing a surplus for the fiscal year just ended. “The treasury may be in satisfactory condition,” interjected Senator Galling er, Republican, “but the industries of the country certainly are not.” He then read from letters saying a New Hampshire manufacturer bad lost a $200,000 yearly contract with a Baltimore customer who found he could buy shoes cheaper in England under the new tariff. Senator Gallinger also presented correspondence to show that the wool manufacturing In dustry in New Hampshire had fallen off. Senator Hollis, Democrat, replied that a personal investigation in New Hamp shire had convinced him that labor was better employed there than it had ever been before. . Senator Martine, Democrat, asserted that a sewing machine plant In New Jersey, which usually closes down for a month in the summer, had this yoar been unable to close for more than a week.
