A charge that the recent skyrock= eting of wheat prices on the Chicago Board of Trade was due to the ac- tivities of price-fixing speculators. is made by Senator Shipstead, Farmer- Labor, Minnesota, in-a letter to Julius Barnes, former president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The Senator also asserts that the Department of Agriculture, “whether by good. intention or otherwise as- sisted in the “bull” movement by co- operating with the issue of “false propaganda” regarding a threatened shortzge of world wheat supplies. The eommunication, made public by the Senator today, was in reply 1o an artiele published recently by Mr. Barnes, in which he asserted that Senator -Shipstead, in advising the farmers last Fall to market _their wheat erop, then made it impossible for the farmers to take advantage of the higher prices of wheat prevailing this year until the recent break in the market Senator Denies Charge. ng that he so advised the Senator Shipstead said he did warn producers not to be “fooled by the mo powers pushing up political and financlal following this warn- 1 seid, the pro- eing caught in " in the market his contention that the $2 wheat price was the work of speculators, the Minnesota Senator said the & tary of Agriculture had during February alone Board of Trade sold s” amounting to '1,581,- 594,000 bushels, or more than five times the official world's visible sup- To support Questions Darmes. The Senator them proceeded to ask Mr. Barnes a series of questions, one of which is whether it is not now ap- parent to him that wheat never was warth $2 and more in January and February and that such a price was “artificial, unwarranted by world conditions, a ballooning gamble cre- ated by price-fixing speculators for their own enrichment after the bulk of the crop was out of the farmer's hands.” ring to the Chamber of Com- recommendation to President that future trading ex- be encouraged as a step to- aiding the farmer, Senator Shipstead asked Mr. Barnes if he now tnought this was necessary and whether he could “guarantee that the national administration still has that panacea in stock as an aid to the American farmer.” $8,339 War Claim Allowed.

By the Associated Pross, NEW YORK, April 8—American importers of potash were advised by cable Monday that French and German producers, who control the bulk of the world’s potash output, had announced that prices for the year would be main- tained at approximately the same fig- ures which have prevalled since May 1, 1923. Officials of the Potash Imnorting Corporation of America, which acts as selling agent for the German product, asserted this announcement was the answer of German and French interests to’ charges recently made before Cougress that the foreign monopoly was preparing to add several dollars to the cost of potash to the American farmer. The only price changes to be an- nounced are advances of 45 and 47 cents a ton on the 20 and 30 per cent grades of manure salts. Prices of all other products remain un- changed, 5o that American manufac- turers may continue to obtain murlate of potash at $34.55 peg ton. Inasmuch as potash compMises’ only about § per cent of the fertilizer as used by the farmer, importers said, FORSKINTORTURES Zemo, the Clean, Antiseptic Liquid, Just What You Need Don't worry about Eczema or other skin troubles.
