Effect : Close Unsettled ; CHICAGO, July 9. Wheat av eraged lower in price today chief ly as a result of fine weather for the harvest end because of en larged receipts' from the new. crop. The government report as to all grain proved to be about as gen erally expected. Wheat closed un settled at a range with from half net decline, extended to 1-4 cent advance with July, and Septem ber both $1.03 1-2 to 11.03 5-8 and December $1.06 1-8. Corn fin ished half to 2 3-8 cents up, oats at 1-8 to 5-8 cent gain and pro visions unchanged to 5 cents down. : - I '' i' , 5' . Hedging sales of new wheat put bulls at a disadvantage soon af ter the opening, and emphasized the bearish effect of wheat re ports from, the harvest region as well as drew attention to the in creased size of wheat arrivals at Kansas and Oklahoma , cities. Wichita in particular showed 259 carloads as against 165 to . the corresponding day a year ago. On the other hand, an advance in Liverpool quotations failed to ex ert jtny Dullish; influenzae here and so likewise did a sharp de crease to the amount of wheat on ocan passage. . ?: , i Black rust danger in the north west was represented as ' more threatening as a reason of high er temperatures. , The rust was said to be developing v on the stems of wheat in parts of the Red River valley and there also were advices that the palgue was reaching north of the Canadian boundary. ' The black rust report tended to bring about price ral lies at times, and the same was true of ' evening trading to pre pare for the government report. For the most . part, however, chaages in prices were only tri vial. Scantiness of corn here to gether with correct predictions that the government report as to corn would be bullish gave strength of corn and oats. ; DRIED FRUIT NEW YORK, July 9.

' The mo tions were made last week after the government had rested its case, ' . Immediately after the decision by the court the defense began the presentation of its case in re ply to that which , government councsel have put in during the 1 more than ' two months that the case has been on trial. - They plan to call as witnesses William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, Charles M. Schwab, former director general of the Emergency Fleet corporation, and other men of national prominence and hope to rest within a few weekc. t : Xustice Stafford In a written opinion refusing to dismiss the indictments, said with respect to the first indictment, which charg ed a general conspiracy that it would not be necessary to show that ' means of carrying out the conspiracy should be unlawful in themselves. Consequently he held that any numoer. of the de fendants, but not less than two, might be convicted ''provided the evidence shows to have been par ties to the general conspiracy charged, although ignorant of some of the means that were used and ignorant of any intention on the part of their co-conspirators to uso them.'' ". : With respect to the second in dictment, which charges a con spiracy to defraud the United States through fradulent and false representations to the Emergency Fleet corporation sharer restric tions were drawn. Justice Stafford held that the Jury could not find all the de fendants guilty if some made only one of the six alleged false state ments specified in the indictment and others made one 6 aore of the other statements. -t Pickwick Stages May Be Ousted From State Representatives of the public service commission who left yes terday for an i investigation of railroad needs in central Oregon, stopped" in Albany to attend an investigation of the accident near Shedd Saturday In which two Pickwick stage passengers lost their lives following the running down of one of the stages by a Southern Pacific 'train. : There is a possibility, it was said,, that the Pickwick stages may lose their privilege to oper ate in Oregon. H. H. Corey, chairman of the service commis sion, says the company is a per sistent violator of the Oregon traffic laws and that one of its stages was involved in a 'similar accident recently in California. Also it ia declared that, only yes terday one of the Pickwick stages violated .the speed laws of ; the state between Salem and Oregon City, traveling as fast as 45 miles an hour. i . .. The party; leaving here was ac companied as far as Albany by 11. D. Wagnon, assistant secre tary of the commission, who made inquiry into the accident. TWO AVIATORS KILLED COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 9.

Soviet j Russia's middle course between communism and capital ism, which was put into effect in 1921, has not brought about" the rehabilitation that c the . Russian dictators . expected, r In : a recent address delivered at the Ukrainian Communistic ' conference ' Trotaky confessed that "Russia's new econ omic policy is working at a loss." He said 'he was aware that the press of the rest ' of the world would make use of this statement for new attacks upon communism; but i he added ; that, the - situation was so serious that the facts must be recognized by the Russian . peo ples themselves.' . Russia ; has a , paper .. currency that is Inflated to a degree that almost outreaches the imagina tion; but it collects its taxes on the basis of the gold ruble. The present government budget i is a boutJZ. 000, COO, 000. estimated on the basis of American money. It would- be more If - there -were more in Russia to collect. But a small - part of it la paid in . real money, the greater, portion coming In ' the form .- of the products of industry - ?that the ' government manufactures and sills and in the prodects . of agriculture that' are taken from the peasants. . According to --. TroUky's own statement the i federal industries are! costing the state a great deal more than they are producing. To Illustrate: whenever : a : pair of shoes is made and sold by the government the price received is one-fourth; less than.' the coet: of production. , To keep the factories running, It is necessary to divert a part of the taxes collected from the peasants to make up the de ficit,! ; : -! '!"'-:.' The soviet -government ; has ceased to attempt to fool the peo ple in regard to these enterprises. It has found that it does not pay for the government to engage, In industry, and the Bolshevik! are closing the state factories. They feel that they are now strong enough to compel the peas ants and the industrial, laborers to pay sufficient taxes to keep the bureaucrat living in the style they deem:j necessary f or agreeable. Why should they both er ! about industry wheh ' the in dustrial enterprises do not pay?. So Trotxky very coolly inti mates that the government fac tories will be closed gradually and all the production of Russia will be under private control. . , The Bolshevik! 'have satisfied themselves that Karl Marx- was wrong. They have proved t'o their own' satisfaction that' a govern ment cannot profitably engage in industry; and I they are through with the experiment. ; They are settling down to a miltary dls tatorship," pure and-simple. They will let the people prodece with out much governmental restraint, so long as they , will pay in taxes enough to satisfy the greedy bu reaucrats. ;!!;! ' I " ! .;-. The money is the thing.

' Trotxky and his fellow dictators are practical men. vThey carried Into effect the abolishment of pri vate , property hecause that gave everything to the government. The loot was enormous, t But the sack is now empty; bo the. people are to be permitted to return to-' the capitalist system ' of .production and distribution Property 1 re turns to private hands ;an' indus try to private .' control. ....

They get the. cool an nouncement from - the ' dictators that they are sorry; but , the So cialistic . program -. of - Karl- Marx did n't work., . , . i. Krassin is repeating in London what Trotzky says in the Ukraine. There is no longer an attempt at secrecy. - Krassin explains the pro gressive . closing of the govern ment f actoriea by saying that "Our main trouble is that we 4p not know how to organize pro duction. . . . .The exaggerat ed and swollen-machinery of con trol Is the main cause of the un bearable bureaucratism of our in stitutions." . : . His explanation is reasonable; for he is simply telling us that governbental operation of Indus try cannot be maintained in Rus sia at a profit. This is the ex perience of every other modern government. The failure has per haps been more marked in Russia because the men placed In charge of the Industrie's were taken from the class that works with its hands and knows little or nothing of the science of industry.
