Ottawa, Oct. 9.--The renewed movement in the west for the recrea- tion of the Wheat Board is reported to have an adherent in the minister of finance, who is out there with the tariff committee, and has been inter- viewed.

While wheat prices are down, the minister of trade and commerce says this is due to the law of supply and | demand and not because the wheat | board went out of existence, Unless the influence exerted is par- ticularly strong and conditions other- wise justify it, the outlook at this juncture is not favorable to the wheat board being recreated.

The night-riders have tack- ed notices to close on ginneries, and in every case boxes of matches have accompanied the notices, The post- ing of the warning notices on gin- |, neries has been general in some sec- tions of Alabama and even merchants have been ordered to close their | stores until cotton advances. In one county in Alabama, where two mer- chants disregarded the order to close, their stores were burned. These threats to burn ginneries, | coupled with the holding movement urged by the farm organization, are likely to reduce the volume of cots | ton placed on the market. This will create a serious situation for many merchants and county banks that aided the planters in producing the present crop, as the farmers will undoubtedly delay meeting their-ob- ligations for fertilizers and other sup- | | plies which are now coming due. The | | great fall in the price of cotton is! | a serious menace to business in the | south and the crop was produced on | supplies purchased on a 40-cent Southern business. The cutting of | the price in half will necessarily be felt in all lines of commerce. So far | | no action has been taken against the | night-riders.

MUST BE IN CLOSE ACCORD Opinion of French Premier Regarding His Country And Great Britain. London, Oct. 9.--The Daily Chron~ icle's Paris correspondent has had an interview with Georges Leygues, the French Premier and Minister for Foreign Affairs. Asked what he | thought was the thing most essen- tial for the peace of the world at the | present time, M. Leygues replied: "Close and constant collaboration It is necessary not alone for the mainten- ance of the peace of the world but for the re-establishing of the economic well-being of Europe." The Premier declared it was his in- tention as head of the Government to collaborate in close accord with the British Government. He hoped France and England would find no difficulty in deciding upon a common basis of action for théir eastern Europe pol- icy. By eastern Europe, he explain= | ed, he meant broadly everything from the Baltic to the Black Sea. The difficulties in the eastern Eu- ropean situation were the same for France as for England, and the neces- for overhauling them was of equal importance for the two coun= tries. He felt that common accord would make itself felt at once. After all, he added, the principal alm of the French and British Gov= | ernments was the establishment of | general peace, and when this was borne in mind it was difficult to see how any serious misunderstanding could arise between France and Eng~ land in eastern Europe. "Further," continued M. Leygues, it is important to bear in mind that two countries must inevitably hasten the return of nominal economic and soe- | ial conditions, which in itself will be no small service rendered to ware stricken humanity."
