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.

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. WOOL MARKEf

pear slightly firmer than a week ago,

In these lines during the latter part
