L'A GRANDE, ORE, 1 I Wheat Markets J Unsettled; Cut ; Fall-Sown Grain - WASHINGTON, June B Domestic wheat markets were very unsettled during the week ending June 6, in fluenced by unfavorable weather con ditions in spring wheat areas, the rapidly approaching harvest of win ter wheat, and the withdrawal from the market of the support of domes tic marketing agencies, according to the weekly grain market review of the United States bureau of agricul tural economics. Feed grains, on the other hand, held generally steady al though demand continued dull and of small volume for the moderate of ferings. Corn made rather slow growth because of cool weather and much replanting la reported in num erous areas. The rye market was gen erally dull and quiet, but had some Independent strength as a result of the unfavorable outlook for the 1931 crop. Flax strengthened, toward the close of the week, under a more ac tive Inquiry from crushers for cash seed, and rather unfavorable re porta concerning the condition of the new crop. .J Crop conditions continued to play an Important part in the wheat mar ket .during the week. Winter wheat prospects continued favorable and harvesting has begun In Southern Texas. Some areas in North Central and Northwestern Kansas and In Ne braska are in need of moisture, but In other sections conditions remained favorably and harvesting Is expected to begin in Southeastern Kansas about June 15, and elsewhere fn that state by the close of the month. Private .estimates as of June 1, placed the domestic winter wheat crop around 76.000,000 bushels above last season's harvest. Drought in the Canadian prairie provinces and in the American northwest is threatening serious dam age to spring wheat unless good rains ;cccur , soon. The official Canadian 'crop report Indicated a critical con dition In the entire western region of normally heaviest production. The good germination of early-sown wheat has been partially offset by high winds and frost damage, while ger mination of late seeding is very spot ted and reseeding has been delayed by deflency of soil moisture. Rains during the week have been beneficial In Southern Alberta and parts of Manitoba, but more moisture is still needed. Conditions of spring wheat nt present indicates an outturn or around 30,000,000 bushels below lost -year's crop, according to the private : jrade estimates. k Wheat Outlook Good, Despite the rather unfavorable out- ! tlook tor spring wheat In North Am erica, world wheat crop prospects ap pear generally satisfactory. Russian seeding has progressed rapidly, with the total acreage seeded to all groins .up to May US, placed at 194,000,000 acres,' compared with 168,000,000 acres the corresponding time a year ago. Spring wheat acreage seeded to t ionnnnnn this date amounted acres, as against 46.000.000 acres' to thm iaihr data last Year, and com- 'prised about 71 per cent of the plan ned acreage of 00,000.000 acres. While rapid progress has been made during recent weeks, seeding in some Im portant areas ts still backward and individual peasant seedlngs are gen erally proceeding very slowly. Reports on winter wheat In Russia are rather unfavorable with considerable winter i killing in the Lower Volga regions now becoming apparent. Seeding or the new southern hemisphere wheat crop Is now in progress, although ad ditional raih roll in Argentine would facilitate seeding operations. t Seeding conditions In Australia have unproved, but a sharp' decrease in acreage is still in prospect. crop In I .

Conditions In Spain are also generally satisfactory,, despite some deterioration from dry weather In southern districts. The French crop is developing rapidly under more sea sonal weather. Crop conditions In Prussia, the most important producing area of Germany, were above average at the first of June despite unfavorable weather during the latter part of May. The condition of the Polish crops Is considerably above average.

Trade reports place the European crop, outside of Russia, at about an average outturn, but re serves of old crop native wheat were unusually low. Domestic cash wheat markets de clined, rather sharply towards a new crop basis during the week, upon the discontinuance of buying at stabilized prices by domestic marketing agencies. Cash grain at the principal markets declined 6-8e per bushel, but the market steadied toward the close of the week, when offerings became smaller and demand continued of fair volume. Cosh wheat is still selling at 8-10c above new crop futures at the principal markets.

Pope Says Fight Is For Liberty Of Conscience VATICAN CITY. June 8 W Pope Plus in an address to the Fascist wel fare organization of Milan, now visit ing Rome, declared : 'We are fighting a battle for liberty of conscience." This battle, the pope continued. "is to do good to our own souls and to those of others. All that is ror us a recompense for the tribulations and sadness of recent days. ' - "Everyone is with us. Tnere nas come a magnificent deluge of letters and telegrams with filial expressions of gratitude. Sympathy for us Is keen even In the most distant countries." Thero is another consolation, he told the Fascists, In that his present troubles have como to him from men but consolation comes from God. "We must remember," he said, "that some troubles In life come by God's permission. God wishes good but some times he permits the bad." Premier Mussolini's answer to the Vatican's challenge that he prove Ills statements that youth clubs affili ated with the Catholic action society had engaged in political activities was awaited with interest. Pope Plus himself Is understood to have written an editorial in Osserva tore Romano recently which called on II Duce to produce the "documents" backing up the accusations. The ar ticle spoke with scorn of the Fascist party's "respect" for the church and Its head. . The pope's position is described as one of disregard for the Fascist party and an insistence' that the govern ment must speak for Itself, He holds that Premlem Mussolini claims to have a strong unified government, it la said, and that he should show It by controlling Fascist ardor and opin ions.
