Grains soared, cotton jumped, and dairy products and other forms of produce were all sharply higher. It was, In many respects, the best recovery in the prices of these staples that has occurred in many months. Various influences contributed to this strength, and it was by no means unalloyed gain, for in many parts of the country droughts prevails and crops are well-nigh ruined.

The voracious grasshopper, too, is getting in his worst work. Finally, the American dollar slumped to new lows, reaching a discount of 20 percent in terms of French francs, while sterling rose about 15 cents In the pound against dollar In Controller Berry's office today were two checks one for $9,300, the other for $700 awaiting the appearance of Joseph Solovel, Brooklyn attorney, and Albert Johnson, special deputy sheriff, respectively.

Brookhart Group Appeals At about the same time, the United States Board of Trade, headed by Rudolph Spreekles of California, issued a statement requesting President Roosevelt to restore "full diplomatic relations with the Soviet Government." Other officers of the organization Include former Senator Brookhart of Iowa, a Republican, chief counsel, and former Representative La-Guardia N. vice president. Recognition of the Soviet Republic is understood to be an open question with President Roosevelt, with informed quarters of the opinion that no action will be taken at least before the close of the London Economic Conference. Speculation over Russian recognition flared high recently when President Roosevelt Included the Soviet Republic In the list of nations to which he sent his disarmament proposal.

Brookhart recently said that as a trade counsellor for the Farm Administration he found there were VOV -v aui Ct Authorized by Law Authority for the payment Is found in a statute enacted by the Legislature In 1903 and modified at various times since then. It provides that the Board of Estimate may make awards to counsel and assistants of former sheriffs who render service in connection with the completion of legal actions undertaken against a sheriff during his term of office and not terminated until after he has returned to private life. The statute applies only to Kings and New York Counties. In every other county of the State the services must be rendered by the regularly employed counsel to the office of sheriff or the bills must be paid by the retiring official. Practically every sheriff who has held office In either of the two counties since the law was passed has taken advantage of its provisions to employ outside counsel at highly remunerative rates, according to officials of the Finance Department.

The law stipulates that the claims must be filed within Each group did its share to charge of the Brooklyn oTce of the Department of Health, and Dr. Laura Rirgclmann, borough chief of the Bureau of Child Hygiene.

The speakers were more interest Smallest Crop In 40 Years The wheat crop this year probably will be the smallest in 40 years. Not since 1894 has the outlook been so poor. Plantings were restricted a little to begin with, moisture conditions during the late Winter and early Spring were bad, and now there 'have been hot suns and drought, with insect pests in myriads sweeping over the fields that should now be golden green and heavy with grain. Wheat prices, already sharply up, loared 8 Ms to 9V4 cents a bushel during the week.

Rye gained even more, rising 8 to 11 cents, while barley up 6 to 8 cents, corn 4V4 to 6 cunts, and oats V.b to 1 cents. There being no Farm Board accumulations of wheat to act as a drag on the markets, they have been moving upward much as they declined two years ago. But there Is supposed to be still a carryover of some 350,000,000 bushels of wheat In the country, so that the Increase in its normal value last week alone approximates $31,500,000. But, as against last year's crop of around 800,000,000 bushels of wheat, it looks very doubtful whether this yearfl's will exceed bushels. Other crops are still In better condition than wheat.

Price Doubles It used to be more or less a rule that small crops are worth in the aggregate a larger realizable amount to farmers than large crops. What has actually happened is that, as compared with a low price around 41 cents a bushel last year, of which the farmer would get about 25 cents, the price has now ust about doubled, but the farmer gets, for what wheat he has left and sells, about 65 cents a bushel. Tuesday of the investigation into private bank operations, chairman Fletcher of the Senate Banking Committee today said the Investigators would continue to disclose any "unwholesome income tax practices" that might be found. Referring to the recent acquittal of Charles E.

"There were cases in the Appellate Division, cases in the Supreme Court and cases In the Court of Appeals. In one case Jacoby had a Judgment of $7,000 against him which wasn't reversed until the case reached the Court of Appeals.
