The shipping board has been wary of making any agreement heretofore, as it felt if the ships were sold abroad to be scrapped, that promise might be broken and the ships might ‘re- appear under foreign flags in compe- tition with American ships. ‘BUS HEARINGS | ARE HELD HERE Bismarck-Jamestown Line the Yellow Cab company and Radio Transportation company Jamestown to operate passenger bus lines between Bismarck and James- town were held here yesterday by the state railroad commission.

The investigation so far, he said has brought out “indications that evidence did exist which would show an attempted ‘or actual manipulation of the market, but proof necessary for the conviction of those who might be charged with a violation of the act had not thus far been sbtained.” He emphasized that the inquiry had not been concluded and that he was “determined to utilize the re- sults of this investigation for the purpose of instituting whatever pro- {secutions may be justified under the law.” He added, however, that he was concerned more particularly in the development of some method by which a repetition of “such erratic and destructive” price changes “may be obviated.” It is the secretary's purpose, the report said, to undertake by the ex- ercise of such authority as is confer- red upon him by the grain futures act, to bring about a condition where the quotations in future trad- ing will more accurately reflect the prices incident to supply and de- mand, POSTOFFICE _ HERE WANTS NORSE STAMPS t Quantities of the soon to be issued Norse-American commemorative stamps have been requested from Washington by the Bismarck post- office.

Britain’s Trade’ Prospects Painted In Dismal Colors London, May 14—A gloomy view of Britain’s trade outlook was ex- pressed by Sir Robert Horne at a re- cent dinner of the British Overseas Banks Association. He said he had just come back from a journey abroad, which had ‘taken some months, and he was of the opinion “that we are in a worse position to- day than we were six months ago, and that was bad enough. If we look at the staple trades of the country we cannot help having a feling of anxiety and apprehension as to the future.” ‘Sir Robert referred to the state of the shipbuilding, cpal, heavy steel, woolen and cotton trades, and said it was his deliberate belief ‘that every section of society had to combine to find some solution of the problem, otherwise there was no hope for the country.
