Representative Philadelphia business
men and manufacturers have formed a
commltteo to work with the Commercial
Museum for an Invasion of the vast trade
fields opened by the European war. Or
ganization of tho committee Is the first
stop taken In Pennsylvania toward open
lug the South American markets to Penn
sylvania manufacturers.
Completo Information relating to tho
South American trade field will be fur
nished by the Commercial Museum, which
Is prepared to point out profitable South
American markets for every sort of man
ufactured merchandise. Dr. W. P. Wil
ton, director of tho Museum, has offered
the committee the unrestricted use of
tho Foreign Trade Bureau.
Prominent members of the commltteo
arc Alba H. Johnson, of the Baldwin
I-ocomotlve .Works; A. T. Freeman, of
John li. Stetson Company; Henry T.
Pierce, of tho Barber Asphalt Paving
Company; Kdward Roberts, of Henry
Disston & Sons, nnd Charles S. Calwell,
of the Corn Exchange National Bank.
"Made in America" merchandise will
find an eager market In Canada, accord
ing to Dudley Bartlctt, chief of the
Foreign Trade Bureau of the Philadelphia
Commercial Musef.m, who says American
manufacturers will profit by the Canadian
Interdiction of Importations from Ger
many and Austria-Hungary. The Cana
dian opportunity Is the direct result of
the war In Europe, Mr. Ilnrtlett says,
urging Philadelphia manufacturers to
take advantage of It.
"Canada imported $10,000,000 worth of
goods from Germany and Austria
Hungary," said Mr. Bnrtlctt, "and Rus
sia, Franco and Belgium sent In $20,000,000
more. All these trade channels are
effectively closed by the war, but the de
mand for the Imports still exists. It Is
hardly likely that Canadian manu
facturers at this time are In a position
to make up tho deficit. This leaves two
alternatives importation from Gicat
Britain or from the United-States. It Is
hardly reasonable to expect that British
manufacturers will be able to take nd
vantago of the present opportunity."
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.--There wni a sharp
recovery In wheat today with offerings
light. Shorts and commission houses
bought. December opened Up one cent at
107 In li and May Vi hlghir nt 11.1. The
crowd was nervous, as there wns great
uncertainty as to how much long wheat
inniiilned to com nut. Sentiment wns
divided, emno trptlem looking fur a good
rally, while others feared further pres
sure. it was generally conreded that the
future colli so of values would depend
lnrgcly on the nttltiir'e of foreigners nnd
the extent of the demand from ubiond.
Ilroomh.il! said that there was a notice
able Improvement In the Inquiry on tho
recent break. He said, however, that the
demand from Franco had been satisfied
for the time being. Spot wheat at ParlH
was easy nnd down 1 cent, but flour
thero held firm. Arrlvnln of wheat at
French points are largo, and tho prospects
are for continued heavy arrival!. Native
wheat Is of good quality, and harvesting
and threshing result) are better thnn had
been oxiiectcd.
There has been heavy rain In the United
Kingdom, causing fear of dumage, and
storage facilities are Inadequate. North
Africa yestorday shipped 200,000 bushels
of wheat to the United Kingdom. Tho
stock of whent nt Liverpool Is 4,200,000
bushels, an lncrase of 520 000 bushels for
the week. Receipts at United Stntes
points were again heavy, but rains In
tho Central West are against tho move
ment. Arrivals at Minneapolis and Duluth to
day were 1207 cars, against 1207 cars a year
ago; at Winnipeg. 1234 cars, against 81!
cars a year ago; at Chicago, 710 cars,
against 202 cnrn a year ago. The visible
supply In the United States Is HI, 784, 000
bushels, mi Increase of 1,758.000 bushels
for tlm week. The weather In Argentina
continued fine.
Corn was stronger on light offerings.
Thero was buying by commission houses,
which considered yesterday's decline duo
largely to the break In wheat. Tho mar
ket at Liverpool was heavy on free plate
offers nnd shipments from the Danube.
The visible supply In the United States
Is 6,63,000 bushels, an increase of tMli.OOO
bushels for the week. The receipts here
today were 309 cars.

WASHINGTON, SopL 15. President
Wilson returned today from Cornish, N.
H., to face the task of smoothing the
way for the passage of tho emergency
revenue bill, Many of the Democrats In
tho House ate wrought up over the pro
posal to tax f 1 eight shipments, nnd a
coll lino been Issued for a party caucus
tonight for tho purpose "of considering
a war revenuo hilt."
Indications are today thnt only the
President can savo the tentative bill
ngrerd upon by a mnjority or the mem
bers of the Ways and Means Committee,
which provides for the tax on railroad
freight. When President Wilson left
Washington last Thursday It was under
stood that he favored the railroad freight
tax plan, hut so much opposition ha3 de
veloped to this method of raising the
flOO.OOfl.O'K) asked for by the President In
Ills ndditss before Congress that the lead
ers now realize that the proposed legisla
tion will have a close call In tho House.
Mr. Underwood delayed the Introduction
of the bill, and announced he would tnko
no step unles.'i the President backs the
bill. The rank nnd (lie of 'the House are
opposing revenue legislation at this time,
and only White House Influence can carry
the bill through the caucui nnd the House.
Mr. Underwood plans to see the Presi
dent this afternoon, nnd the unpopularity
or the freight tux Idea may cause a re
writing of the entire revenue bill
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, In a letter to Mr.
Underwood, suggests the raising of rcv
enuo by a lax on "secret remedies sold at
enormous prices, considering the charac
ter of their contents, to the people for
self medication." Doctor Wiley also ad
vocates a tax on soft drinks, nnd an ad
ditional tax on rectified spirits, beer, cor
dials, and similar beverages.
The trouble over the bill which has
made necessary a recourse to tho Presi
dential Influence In nn effort to clear the
way for passage of the measure went to
the length of a threatened bolt in the
Senate. The dissatisfaction among Demo
cratic leaders was especially strong when
the purpose to extend the tax to necessar
ies became manifest. This the Democrats
say would be a political mistake.
All sorts and conditions of suggestions
nre being mado In an effort to find n,
solution of the vexatious problem. Among
them are the proposal of Senator Rob
inson, of Arkansas, to place a heavy
tax on automobiles, based on the horse
power of each machine the country over.
and on cigarettes, to which the Senator
frankly ndmlts he has nn aversion, Sen
ator La Follette would meet the emer
gency by cutting the rivers and harbors
bill to the vanishing point and by legis
lative action provldng that no public
buildings should bo authorized for the
period of one year. It Is expected that
these views nnd others will bo consid
ered when the leaders confor today with
President Wilson, who by tho way, Is
much pleased over tho election of Oakley
C. Curtis, Democrat, as Governor of
Maine.
Tlie four envoyB of King Albert of Bel
glum sent to this country to protest to
tho United States Government against al
leged outrages of International rules of
warfare by the Germans passed through
Philadelphia today on their way to Wash
ington, leaving West Philadelphia at 3:16
o'clock this afternoon.
Apart from tho statement by one of the
delegates thnt tho defense of Liege "will
go down In history as one of the greatest
battles ever waged,' 'the Belgians refused
to talk of conditions In their native land
or of their mission. One of thorn, Louis
do Sndelccr, was Interested In Industilal
conditions In this country nnd asked
whether the Baldwin Locomotive Works
was in operation. He said he expected
to find it eloSed.
The lender of the party Is Henry Carton
de Wlart, Belgian Minister of Justice.
The others are Mr. Sadeleer, Paul ly
mans nnd Emlle' Van der Velde, and nil
three are mlnlstfers of State In Belgium.
All four of the party declined to dis
cuss the object of their mission.
"We nre sent here by our King," said
Emllo Vnn der Vide, "with a message
to your President. To discuss It In ad
vance In the press would he a grave dis
courtesy to all coieorncd and we could
not think of giving out any Information
as to whnt we havo to present to your
President."
Each of the four Belgians hnd been In
this country at tho time of tho St. Lnuli
Exposition, and nil expiesnod themselves
ns delighted with the Improvement mndo
since then. They expect to stay two or
threo days In Washington, hut that Is not
yet decided, and they may be there
longer.
Mr. Vnn der Vclde suld tho delegates
might stop off In Philadelphia on their
way back to New York, hut that also
wns In abeyance. The delegates traveled
without servants or other attendants.
They expel to meet President WV3011
tomorrow ntvcrnoon, and said they look
forward to the meeting with pleasure.
