Hearing Opens on Application of Van Sweringens to Com- bine Several Lines. Argument as to the legal rights of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis railroad to consolidate with itself several other rallroads controlled by the Van Sweringen interest of Cleve- land was begun today before the In- terstate Commerce Commission. The road's application for authority to take into its organization the To- ledo and Western, Lake Erie and Western, Chicago State Line and other systems has been questioned before the commission on the ground that its owners must await final con- slusions of the commission in its en- deavor to prepare a plan for general consolidation of railroads. W. A. Colston, general counsel of the Nickel Plate, was supported in his appearance by Attorney General Lesh of Indiana, and his argument also was upheld in part by H. H. Griswold of special counsel for the state of Ohio. P. J. Farrell, solicitor for the interstate Commerce Com- mission, appeared in opposition. —_— DRY GOODS MARKET. NEW YORK, June 9 (Special).— There was & little odd-lot trading in dry goods in Worth street today, but the general tone was quiet and prices unchanged over Friday's figures. Sateen and pajama check prices were irregular, and khaki fabric goods and drills and twills showed a soft- éning tendency. The advance in raw silk on the local market continued today in reflection of heavy trading in Yokohama, where 1,500 bales changed hands with prices up 20 yen a bale. ‘WOOL PRICES STEADY. BOSTON, June 9 (Special).—Sum- mer street was much interested again today in the Hull, England, sale of 25000 bales of crossbreds.

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES, Special Dispatch to The Sta: NEW YORK, June 9.—Trading in- terest in bonds was at a low ebb dur- ing today’s short session. Quotations for high-grade securities were fin- clined to be reactionary. This was true of libertys and the first-grade rafls. * Bven the speculative enthusiasm manifest all the week in the foreign issues waned today. As far as there was any feature today it was found among the junior ralls, which were subject to the same Influences that advanced the price of rallroad stocks. The St. Paul issues were conspicuous in this respect, no- tably the short-term 4s of 1925, In" addition to the Austrian loan next week is expected to see new government financing in the shape of treasury certificates. The offering is not expected to be a large one, but the coupon rate may have some Sig- nificance as to the future of the money market. FLOODS THREATEN CROPS IN KANSAS Wheat Beaten Into Soil by Rains Reaching Western Missouri. 1P KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 9. —Heavy rainfall in Kansas and western Mis- souri last night and today has placed rivers and creeks in Kansas at flood stages and with a continuation of the rain predicted for today, serious floods are expected, according to re- ports from over Kansas. The rain- fall in Kansas reached virtually all parts of the state and ranged from one to seven inches. In many places the rainfall was so heavy th: wheat, W h had begun to ripen, was beaten into the ground, according to reports from south central Kansas. It will also prevent getting harvest machinery into the fields for more than a week, reports from many places showed. “The rain was very damaging.” P. Connor, local weather forcaster, said, “and there is no let-up in sight. From present indlcations it will continue to rain throughout Kansas over Sun- day, and by tonight it will be rain- ing over all Missouri. This morning it was raining over all the western half of Missouri.” Coffeyville, Kuna. reported the heaviest rain in five years, the official rain guage there showing more than six inches. From Emporia came re- ports that the Neosho and Cotton Wood rivers were out of their banks in some places. It was these rivers that flooded the town of Burlington last_year, causing damage estimated at thousands of dollars. The rainfall at Emporia was the heaviest of the year, 3.72 inches, and river men pre- dicted that a large area between Em- poria and Burlington would be flooded. { SEIZE FAKE STAMPS INTENDED FOR RUM| i i Counterfeits of U.

By tie Associated Press. NEW YORK. June 9 —Plans to as- sist the Chinese government in r: ing $180,000.000 to liquidate overdue foreign obligations were discussed at a meeting of the advisory council of | the far eastern division of the De- partment of Commerce. No definite action was taken. ilines, chairman of the coun- cil, expressed the opinion that the Chinese government had no accept- able sec at this time. He said that participa- the United States government in _the matter should be avoided. Of the total amount owed abroad by the Chinese government, it was sald, 40 per cent represented ov due obligations to Japanese business concerns and about 5 per cent debts owed to American interests. Mr. Glines said that “tremendous pressure” would be brought to bear to protect American interests should forelgn holders of the overdue obli- gations of the Chinese government railways take over these lines. He said such a course would probably result in Americans and Japanese as- suming control of the Peking Suiyan. “In the event the French ratify the ‘nine-power Chinese customs treaty, " he sald, “T would recommend such revenues be funded for the purpose of taking up overdue foreign obliga- tions. Since the internal native loans would have to look to this entirely, there would be considerable pressure brought to bear by the Chinese for a government that functions like a government.” CLEARING HOUSE REPORT.
